The war should end between March and July. (Nationalities will be reborn and op-pressed-people freed. Italy will draw the sword, and Germany will be torn to pieces, south against south and north against north, with revolutionary movements against the military aristocarey and with peasant barbarisms, a parody of the French Revolution. Hostages I will be massacred, and there will be trials and scaffolds. The conquerors will cross her frontiers. Germany will seem to give way suddenly, and, gaining time, will renew her attacks. In any event, the Hohenzollerns will not ruile, and the Crown Prince will nob reign. Austria will share the bitter fate of her Ally. French Joseph has brought bad luck to all who have loved him, and cannot die without bringing bad luck to his people. The menace of entire destruction will not yet have passed from Belgium. Her King and people will yet know grief and tears, but her destiny seems magnificent. England by this war will escape grave interior perils. She will play a supreme part and will be-saved herself. The Entente will be fruitful,and England's destiny renowned and sparkling. Russia will march forward, and Poland will rise again from its ashes.

For France the year will take a 'bloody and broken path for threeparts of ite course, and then steady itself in the brilliance o4 peace. Three new men, of whom one will dominate all the others, will appear at the end of the year.—"Daily Mail."
