LENGTH OF THE WAR

AMERICAN VIEW OF THE GRIP ON GERMANY. . The "New York _ Tribune," in a lengthy editorial articlo on the probable duration of the war, undoubtedly expresses American public sentiment when it concludes:-— . Fortunately for France and Great Britain —and for tlie world, as the "Tribune" believes—tho peril of a complete German success lias been disposed of. France, Russia, and Great Britain keep the field with growing power and unshaken will. Tlie blood tax on Germany has begun to tell. Tlie British naval' noose has been drawn to suffocation. The German advance has terminated in the East-and in the West; only in the Balkans is there any progress. All doubt as to the outcome of the war as a military problem has passed. Such doubt as there might have been as to the endurance and will of the Allies has diminished, in the face of recent evidence, of which the Paris conference is but one detail. But the war of one or perhaps two years more seems absolutely inevitable, for peace is impossible while those who rule Germany cling to the belief that it is within their power to organiso Europe, to dominate the lesser peoples, and to build upon the I ruins of the French, British, and Russian Empires the structure or "Deutschland Kiber Alles."
