Karl vou Weigand, interviewed Herr Balliu, who says: The war will probably last another year. The question is: Who can stick out longest. : This will decide the war. For the i moment, the other side has scored a 'moral victory. This has had the e - j feet of dissipating the war-weariness ! 0 f the Allies, and has aroused in them new hopes, but the question is, Hot long will the revivified war spirit last ? 1 Whatever happens in the next few months will neither decide nor end the war. After the war, Germany will bo [better able to begin her peaceful reconstruction of trade than England. Germany will owe the greater part of her debt to her own people, while England will bo under an enormous debt to America. Our motto- is: : “Stick it out to the end. Endure through everything. Keep our mouths shut.”
