Who wouldn't buy Victory bonds and become part 'and parcel of the great vietory that the Allies are en- larging each day now. Germany cannot expand without tolonles, cries Dr. Solf, German ecol- onial secretary. Well, who wants the accursed country to expand? Prince Von Buelow, who is men- tioned as the man who will Hkely be Germany's representative at the peace table, is one of the keenest of European diplomats, but he will - not be able to put anything over on the British, French and American representatives, he will meet.

Varied are the conjecturcs as to when the war will end. The Allies are breaking enemy's lines everywhere and havo succeeded in aiiminating one o* their opporents, and_with their 2adicss vietories i: whispered that there will be no fighting this .cominz Christmastide. When will the war end? Certainly not till Germany dis thoroughly de- feated. Germany is the nation the Allies must thrash--not Ausir'a: Hungary, not (Turkey, mot Bul- garig. Germany must be thorough- ty. beaten, knocked ouf, crushed. [Phen the war will lend. Germany must be punished {for its crimes as no other aation in the world's his- tory has been punished. It must feel what war is when carried over its Toertile fields and once prosper- oug cities and towns. Germany has already suffered, but must suffer more and still more until purified through suffering. Foch, the Allied wcommander-in- chief, is not troubling himself as 0 when the war will end. "The mat- ter of a year more pf conflict does not disturb him. He has one ob- ject in jview--the destruction of the enemy's armed forces. He has the instrument now to accomplish that destruction and is using it as per- haps mo 'other [living general could use it. He is slowly but surely de- stroying the armed forces of the Teutons, and when these forces are the then the war will be at an end. Foch does not know 'when the conflict 'will cease. If it depended upon a military decision he might approxi- mate the time it would take him to crugh 'thy armed forces opposing him, but there are other Garces at work which even Foch cannot esti- mate. Reyojution and breakdown within the enemy 'countries would alone be sufficient' to defeat tha come soonér than a straight military de- cision would. If Germany is able to hold out within, then the war may 'go on till. next summer on Ye west- lern battleline. If she cannot, thea the end may come much sooner. If it were now 'the Tirst week of June instead of the first week of October, Foch, with his present superiority and with the Allfed armies continu- ing their winning 'streak, might be ~ {able to secure a decision within three months. But tow only a , month of good fighting weather ra- before winter sets in."
