Howard, President of the United Press, who recently returned from a three months' tour in Europe, gives some wholesome advice to his fel- low country men with reference to their incessant peace- talk. "The impression is general in both France and Eng- land." he says. "that.a considerable force is meddling in this country in the direction of early peace. Such a move ment is regarded as an impertlnence. In purely military circles it is construed as pro-German. To say that lt is re sented is putting it mildly. Peace in the future. on any hula likely to he acceptable to Germany. is unthinkable in France or htglnnd. Neither country feel; that lt has yet suggested what it can do ln a military way under the test.” During the tour .\lr. Howard visited the front and the foremost trenches of both the German and the Allied arm- ies and was given exceptional opportunity for first hand observation of conditions existing at the opening of the spring campaign. "Belllgerent and neutral in Europe have readlusted lbeir life-national, commercial and social-on the blasts of an lndehnite war,” he says: "They have eliminated ev~ ery consideration contingent upon early peace. With this Win! of view. Europe-especially France and England-ls dumhfouuded at Americans’ insistent peace talk. and her reluctance to accept the situation as lt exists and rcadltut business accordingly." As to the duration of the war lfr. Howard ls of the opinion that It may last from two to flve yarn and says that this la the general oplnlou among Europeans. The war bu developed something new ln history-the liege ofa nation-unmaccordlng to lr. Howard, has re- solved itself into an endurance contest. Au to the strength of /the defences In this lelge he nays: "lllllons of men working for months' aluing the welt- ern lhte have evolved defences on both rides. the strength of which ls almost inconceivable.
