Earl Kitchener is said to have made the statement shortly before his tragic death that while he had at Iirst estimated the duration of the war at three years he iio\v looked for an earlier ending. The London press is taking a most optimistic view of the present sit- uation. .\ccording to our recent dispatches Professor Pollard, \vlio fills the chair of English History in t he University of London, in a recent lecture on the pro- gress of the war, expressed the conviction, that Austria, would give up the struggle during the present sunnneri, and that as a result of this \yeakening Germany, after a winter of serious want and hardships, would be_ ready to quit next sumnicr-or would be compelled to quit by internal revolution. The failure of German strategy on the western. front fills a large part in thc prediction that the end is not fa-r off.
