War to Last Eighteen Months Longer

EDWARD SHEARSON, head of Shearson, Hammill & Co., bankers, who recently returned from England, speaking of the duration of the European war, says:—
By officials in the government service and men of affairs in England I was told that the war certainly would last another eighteen months. Taking this as a basis for a rough estimate, formed from the expenditure up to date, it will cost the belligerent nations about $45,000,000,000 for the destruction of property, waste, and labor in this war.—New York Times, Oct. 25, 1915.
It is to be hoped that these officials are mistaken in their estimate of the length of the war; for it is truly awful to contemplate the continuance of the present conflict for a year and a half more. We should pray God to restrain the wrath of men, that his work in the earth may go forward unhindered.
