CANNOT. END WAR UNTIL GERMANY
 ROLLERS "QU|T"
Struggle Now Concentrates on Lavish Artillery Fire
 to Flatten Trenches.

London, Nov. 3.-"You will have to ask Germany"
 This was the answer of a distin- guished English officer recently back from the front when the familiar query was put to him: When will the war end?"
 we know what we can give them," he continued, "but we do not know as yet just how much they are pre- pared to stand, or are willing to stand. In the meantime we will increase the pressure more and more until the break comes."
 With the turning of the tide on the western battlefields there was natur- ally disposition here to feel that hostilities soon would be over. The officers and men of the army do not share these views. however, and are constantly cautioning the people at home against the idea that the issue will be settled within the next few months.
 From conversations with scores of officers familiar with the situation at the front it can be stated that they do not expect the war to end at the earliest before next autumn. There are many who believe there are two more years of fighting before the AL lied nations.
 we have got a long way to go," said General Sir William Robertson, Kitchener's successor, a few days ago. "And we must be ready to go all the way" he added. Flight to finish is the order. There must be no slack ening off. On the contrary, there must be great tightening up.'
 No good soldier will make defin- ite prediction as to the end of the war.
 We must be prepared to go on for a period of time which it is impossible to estimate" said Sir William. And that expresses the opinion of the army There may be various in sf1uences at work which they know nothing of, there is the constant talk heard of internal troubles in Ger many, but the army officer only Hooks at the map He still sees a long road ahead before the victory he has in mind can become a reality. The mili- tary defeat of Germany, and that is the only defeat the army looks for ward to, means an invasion of the German Empire. General Sir O'Moore Creagh. the distinguished Irish 'V.s

Pink Boil Worm Hurts
 Cotton of Egyptians

Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 3.-The bulletin of the ministry of agriculture, dated October 1, gives the condition of the cotton crop in Lower Egypt as 10 per cent. and in Upper Egypt as four per cent. below the average. The pink boil worm attack has consider ably increased in intensity through out Upper Egypt.
 Picking is now general and in some places the first picking has been com pleted but the yield is very uneven. On the whole, the crop this year is likely to be appreciably below the average.

SAW EVIL in USE OF COFFEE
Beverage Was Once Looked Upon by
Orthodox Mohammedans az lnsidi-
Gus to Public Morals.

For one who has ever walked the
streets of Turkish town 1t is almost
impossible to imagine them without
coffee houses. Yet, those resorts are
Of comparative regency among the
Turks, and they were not acclimatized
without bitter opposition.
While the properties Of the coffee
berry are supposed to have been dis
covered or rediscovered by an Arab
dervish In the thirteenth century, they
were unknown in Constantinople until
800 years later. The first coffee house
was opened there In 1864 by one
Shemsi, a native Of Aleppo. The bev-
erage so quickly appreciated was as
quickly looked upon by the orthodox
as insidious to the public morals.
1t was variously denounced as one
Of the four elements Of the world of
pleasure, one Of the four pillars of the
tent Of lubricity, one Of the four cush-
ions Of the couch Of righteousness,
and one Of the four ministers of the
devil-the other three being tobacco,
opium and wine. "Kahveh." whence
our coffee, is slight modification Of
an Arabic word-literally meaning
~that which takes away the appetite"

PAWN ALL KINDS OF ARTICLES
Men and Women Who PatronIxe Their
"uneIe" Find Him Willing TO
Take Any Chance.

There is scarcely anything in this
wide world that a person up against 1t
financially can't pawn, for the pawn
broker is a gambler. whose instincts
either are acquired or born In him, and
he will take chance on anything pro-
vided the article is not falling to pieces.
Women. according to the pawn
broker, work their own ruin frequently
by liquor and drug addiction. but in a
great many cases It is derelict hus-
bands who cause the women to patron
lie the pawnshop. And the woman
makes the sacrifice to protect her chill
dren.
"a woman who Is struggling to save
her children" the pawnbroker said,
twill begin by pawning household
things. The alarm clock or another
kind of clock will go first. Then she
will sacrifice few dishes. Maybe
some Of the furniture will go next. Her
clothes will remain for the last be-
cause she needs clothes in her quest
for work. The best clothes will be
saved, II at all possible, but 1 have
known hundreds Of cases where they
have pawned corsets to keep the fam
lily supplied with bite Of food in
times Of want"
In things offered for pawn the three
ball man says that razors lead by
wide margin, while alarm clocks,
strange as it may seem, come second.
Umbrellas, too, are a common article
to be pawned. And only about thirty
per cent of these articles eventually
are redeemed.

Sweden.


According to reports from Stock
holm, the people of Sweden are not
easing up In their feelings Of resent
ment against England because Of her
blockade against Sweden. On the
contrary this feeling Is growing
stronger, and the newspapers are be-
ginning to comment more and more
freely upon what they say is a prac-
tice '1n violation of all international
lava fragrant misuse of power
against the unquestionable rights Of
weaker nations" Swedish government
officials and Swedish merchants alike
do not hesitate to say they have hoped
take stand In behalf of the neutral
countries which would bring about
more reasonable enforcement of the
blockade. They have protested in
vain to Great Britain and have en-
deavored to take such retaliatory
steps as were ut Sweden's command.
But they realize Sweden is In no po-
sition and has neither the resources
nor the military Importance to gain
favorable consideration. Scandinav-
ian newspapers and officials argue
that the United States has most po-
tent weapon to use against the allies
to bring about "a more lawful conduct
of the blockade" They firmly believe
that If the United States government
would threaten to forbid the export Of
munitions of war and to declare un-
lawful any loans to belligerent nations,
England would quickly be brought to
terms. The Scandinavians would be
perfectly willing, they say, to let Amer
lea dictate the conditions of the block
ade; they do not feel they should be
left arbitrarily to the will Of Great
Britain. One effect of the blockade
has been to place food supplies In the
hands Of spectators, who are de-
handing exorbitant prices for their
wares. Oddly enough, great major
ity Of these spectators are said to
be Germans. This is particularly true
of coffee. No people in all the world
love their coffee like the Swedes. Al
ready they are paying practically
double the normal price for 1t with
quotations daily leaping upward.
Sweden still is able to get large guam
titles Of coal and brlquette fuel from
Germany, and II is in exchange for
this very essential import that the
Swedish government allows the export
Of iron ores and various food supplies
to Germany. German commerce still
flourishes in the south Baltic waters
although the recent activities of Eng
fish and Russian submarines and de-
stroyers sent thrill of apprehension
through the VARIOUS trading interests.

ing In Stockholm graduated 425 stu
dents this summer.
AS an addition to the existing royal
decree prohibiting submarines from
using Swedish territorial waters ex-
cept in certain parts Of the sound, the
Swedish government has issued a no
tice, says Reuters Stockholm CORE
spondent. that submarines contraven-
ing this decree run the risk Of being

warning.
