In answering; this question, one is likely to say that the morniuj? news papers contain all the news, and one man's judgment is just as good as an other's. If, however, it is the writer's opinion that's desired, it may he stated as follows: It is now well authenticated that the resources of the nations making war are at a low ehh. and the numbers of the indi vidual warmakers have been greatly re duced, and their spirit and unity have broken down. Therefore, it is expected that within the ensuing three months it will he possi ble for the United States and the Allies to arrive at the primal steps, slopping bloodshed, and taking security to bind a surrender of all the enemy's ships and fortifications, to be further assured by an army of occupation, composed of Ameri can, British and French troops, to guard the points of danger and safeguard and insure the contracts entered into. Further that new conditions will arise immediately, with new demands, not so much for food, but for merchan dise, which will create a scarcity of many articles requiring materials and skilled labor, to take the place of skilled workers, woumied or lost in the war.
