PREDICTS THIS
IS LAST WAR
Judge Smith, Whose Two
Sons Go to Army, Says
Despots Must Quit.

With the end Of the present war an
international agreement viii DE
reached by the people of the world
which VIII do away with any future
wars. This was predicted by United
states judge William R. Smith in
talk he made Tuesday at the Unive--
sity club luncheon, in the clubrooms
in the Martin building
Looking beyond the present war;
said Judge Smith, 4 believe that every
vestige OF despotic and autocratic
power will be swept away from this
earth. I an not one who believes that
war is a necessity and Inevitable, but
as the time has come when the United
states must De at war, I do believe
that there viii be a day that there
will be established some sort OF an
international agreement when VIII 90
away with war entirely me SreaI
mon of the future viii be the states
men and not the warriors and gener-
ais and these statesmen VIII assure
an everlasting peace among the Sreal
nations of the world.
