CONTEMPORARIES PEACE IS STILL
 3 YEARS AWAY
LECTURER WHO HAS BEEN YEARS AT FRONT, SAYS END OF KAISERISM IS NOT TO BE HOPED FOR UNTIL JULY, 1921.
(From Tuesdays DailY.)

theatre last night, told his audience q number of startling facts about the big war, and made the prediction i that the world conflict will not end | before July, 1921 Mir. Gaylcy would seem in a position to speak authori- l tatively. having spent two years | within the sound of the big guns on the Flanders front, and having rubbed elbows with the evidences of the sort of kultur which Kaiser Wilhelm Is at present cndcavoring io iniiict upon the whole of civilization.
 The war will not be won, said the ! speaker, until every man, woman and child in the United States has reached an acute realization of the fact that America has at present on her hands a job of such proportions as has never been cqualled m the history ot the world. And every man, woman and child is going to be brought face 10 face with the terrible prospects ot a ten or twenty-year war If the na- ton does not rally to the support Of the Allied cause, either by physical or financial means.
 Ii was not an address that GaylcyI gave last night-neithcr was ii an oration. Rather, it was straight forward story Of the ways and where flores of the war, the story as told by one man to another in an informal but convincing manner. There was a punch in every statement, kick, as 1t were. that rcsoundcd throughout the spacious hall and echoed and re- echoed as the listeners slowly went their ways after the meeting.
 Gayley is professor of English at the Berkeley institution, but with his other duties he has found sufficient time to study the war as probably few other men in the far west have studied it. Surely, no other man who has appeared before an audience in this city has been so well vcrsed, so well informed as to the causes, the objcctivcS and the effects of the tl- tanic struggle now waging in Europe, and when, in the course of his heart to-hcart talk with Nrizonans last night, he found it advisable to assail Prussianism and kaiserism, he intro- duccd convincing evidence in the form of government literature or the like to substantiatc his every claim.
 He Had the Evidence
 Probably the most convincing bit of information as to the German aims, their long preparation for the present conflict and their lustful desires yet placed before an Arizona audience was given by Gaylcy when he read ,from "Conqucsts and kultur' as published by the bureau of informa- ton of the United States government In this passage, it was clearly shown that the German kaiser has long entertained a hatred for this government and its pcoplcs-that as far back as 1898 the idea was con ccivcd in the minds of German rulers for world conquests, world domina- ton and world subjugation.
 That America and her Allies cannot win this fight within the next one two or three years was the convinc- ing argument used by Gaylcy in hi: effort to impress upon his hearers the importance of subscribing readily and willingly to the Liberty Loan cam paign that started Saturday.
 Unless we do our bit. we shal have a seven or l0-ycar war in front of us instead of three or four-ycai war" declared the talkcr in his open ing remarks.
 We cannot hope 10 end this fight quickly IL will not be ended bN July of this year. nor by July o 1919, nor, even yet by July of 1920 for peace effected within that space of time would be German concoctc, peace, a peace founded on a German victory.
 A Three-Ycar War
 The most optimistic acme of on hopes is 10 end the war by July O 1921. Ii is not pcssinism that preach for we are opposed to the mos cuunirgly sllilliul beast that God eve let live on this planet And when ", end this war-as NC surely willie us hope that il will be the end of al wars for many, many years to come.
 "A Rsace, founded on America' ideals cannot be consummatcd unti the Hohenzollcrns and Hapsburgs ar crushed for once and for all time: Any other peace would not be wort ihc consideration.
 France entered tilis war to protcC herself. So did Great Britain, an America, lastly, is fighting war c self prcscrvation-preser Of lit crty. preservation of the spirit c American freedom.
 Your own State, Arizona, wa threatened Arizona was 10 be use by the Germans as a pawn to Mc2 leo, even though Germany did nc possess this commonwealth--but cz peciod to possess it within year q SO.
 When this war first broke out, " thought that ii was no affair of our
