NEW YORK, Nov. 20. The
worlds next great Nwar-and its last
probably will be raging within

on the side OF Germany in the bat
ties, Oswald Garrison Willard, editor
of The Nation. predicted at din
ner to him, attended by Senator

Senator Henry Shipstead Of Mime
sofa.
1.-THE next war in Europe comes
apace," said Willard. Of there are
any of you who wish to stop it,
now is the time. I talked with two
distinguished British generals; they
found nothing surprising in my
question, How soon shall you be
fighting on the side of the Ger
nans?' Their estimates of the time
we still have to ward off this final
catastrophe from Europe differ but
slightly from mine"
Willard, who recently returned
from Europe, would avert the ex.
pected war through conference OF
neutrals to settle the dispute be.
tween France and Germany, with
power to isolate France morally
and economically if she refused
arbitration.
