THINKS GREAT WAR
WILL END THIS YEAR

London, June 20.-The Times mill
tary CORRESPONDENT in France writes
that the opinion on the British front
is that the war will be brought to a
successful conclusion during 1916. The
feeling Of optimism is based largely
on the following factors:
Continually growing numbers of
men and quantities of munitions on the
entente front: the extraordinary sue
cesses of the Russian armies; the ar
resting of Austrian offensive in
Trentino; the silencing of the Ger
man navy through the sea battle off
Jutland; the exhaustion of the Ger
man reserves as indicated by the call
ing up of the 17-year-old youths and
the use Of prisoners in German NUM-
tions factories.
