GROWING GERMAN ANXIETY

Tha growing ..apprehensions, of the Gennan. public m.regard to. the progress, of "their "armies' andtth'e dtso.rganisat'ipij. of trade .find? ...OSPJession'"' in' niany anxious inquiries addressed to; the newspapers for their opinion as-to the duration of th? war. Says tlie "Deutsolie" Tagezeitung" on.this subject:— ; "How long will the war last? This is a question being asked' not only in the cafes, aiid railway carriages, but in a section of the Press. ' Our own readers' repeatedly, ask' us for our opinion, but we.cannot meet their .wish.es,_ simply because no one at present is in a position to answef the.question with any certainty.. '"It is'both futile and senseless to ' expross mere suppositions. 'Moreover, all such discussions are extremely harmful, for they'••.may easily cohvey a'.tetally false impression of -national.feeling, and that' must be.; avoided in all circumstances. - . - "We" content ourselves, therefore, with repeating that "all sections of ' the nation are unconditionally resolved to hold on ujitil an enduring, honourable, arid certain peace has been achieved. Thi^-.,resolve has . been Tepeatedly -proclaimed with absolute clearness by all classes of the German people, .Snd on '■His point the Emperor,' the army, and the'nation are-at one,. The question as to how long the will last can, therefore, only be answered T)y saying that, humanely speaking, it -will continue iintil this goal has Been reached."
