❖ HOW LONG WILL *
❖ THE WAR LAST? *
❖ - ♦
By ED. L. KEEN
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—“How long
do you think the war will last?”
After the usual polite and more or
less perfunctory inquiries as to the
Btute of his health and what sort of
trip he had, judging from the writ
er’s personal experience and observa
tions in the last few hours, this is the
first serious question fired at every
American returning from Europe by
everyone he meets.
Anticipating some such inquisition,
and in order to guido him in forming
an opinion, the writer has asked the
same question of a lot of folk in Eng
land just before sailing on the Baltic
for New’ York. It received as great
a variety of replies as the number of
Britishers interrogated—that is, as to
time. They ranged all the way from
six weeks to six years.
But in their real essence all were
alike. “Until Germany gives up!"
was the unanimous verdict.
They’re telling a good story now in
London about the way Premier
Asquith is said to have answered this
question at a recent social gathering.
British cabinet members have become
90 used to parrying uncomfortable or
puzzling queries on the floor of the
House of Commons since the war be
gan that they often, unconsciously
carry their parliamentary armament
into the drawing-room.
“How long do you think the war
will last, Mr. Asquith?" inquired a
fellow guest.
“1 would have much preferred that
the honorable gentleman had given
me previous notice of this question,”
replied the prime minister in his most
unctious on-th-carpet tone, “but since
he insists upon an immediate and ex
plicit reply, I will say that the an
swer is in the negative."

A Strenuous
Objection—
If your coal dealer de
livered only three-quar
ters of a ton of coal /
and charged you for a
full ton, you would ob
ject—and refuse "to pay (
the bill. The same
principle applies in
the fuel consumption
of a heater—why use a
heater that wastes one
quarter of your
fuel?
Great western OaK
consumes all carbon and. dases-none es
capes up chimney. Scientific flue system
discharges heated air through slotted open*
inds ri^ht over fire-, and through mica door
you can clearly see the shooting flames—
representing tne burning £ases. In actual
use, you can feeJ the increased heat ——
and decreased amount of coal used Be
convinced by an inspection.
