SoME PREVIOUS LONG WARS
England Fought France From 1889 to
1471-Wars Of the Roses Con-
tinued Thirty Years.

Three years of war seems q long
time to most Of us, but few Of the big
wars of history have been settled in
anything like 80 short a period, OBJ
serves the London Tit-Bits. The
Peloponnesian war, which in many
respects was similar to the present
campaign, went on for over twenty
years; as did the French Revolu-
tionary and Napoleonic campaigns
The American War of Independence
lasted eight years, the War Of Sue
cession II years and the Elizabethan
war with Spain 16 years.
The longest period at which this
country was at war at one time was
from 1889 to 1471, when we fought
France almost continuously; while
the Wars Of the Roses dragged on for
nearly 30 years. But events move
more quickly in these days, and it is
inconceivable to suppose that the
present struggle can continue for
anything like so long as did these
campaigns. In former times sew
eral decades elapsed before the more
glaring effects Of a war disappeared,
but it is probable that the work of
reconstruction will be so rapid today
that within a few years after the
signing of peace the war-stained
cities and fields of France will be re-
stored to something approaching
their former appearance.
