DURATION OF THE WAR.
Al. Vandervelde, the .Belgian Minister, delivered at the Sorbonne iu Paris on .November 20, an eloquent speech on Austro-German barbarity and the approaching victory of the Allies, in conclusion he referred to Lord Kitchener's prophecy, “it is said," he remarked, “that at the outset of the war Lord Kitchener announced that it would last for three years. There is every reason to.believe to-day that that prediction will be verified. The Allies required one year in Prance and Russia, cm (lie Marne, the Yser, and the Dwina to stop the invasion. Another year was required to prepare for the ejection of the 1 enemy. The third year now beginning, will be the year of victory, that will maintain the liberty of some and found the liberty of others by beating down for all time the powers of murder and oppression.” .
