BRITISH ARE OPTIMISTIC.
Believe That Germany Cannot Hold
Out Much Longer.

London-Germany's capitulation is
expected momentarily. She is expect
ed to accept even the most rigid arm

If, however, she should decide to
make last ditch fight, behind the
Rhine, with Turkey and Austria out,
the very maximum time given her by
experts is six months.
