CHEQUER BELIEVES WAR WILL
END WITH NEXT DRIVE.
LONDON, July 6.—The coming Herman
blow will not lie less dangerous because
of the time employed In preparing for it.
but It Is comforting to know that the
men responsible for the v°uimnnd of the
allied nrmles are confident of the result,
Andrew Honar Law, chancellor of the ex
chequer, declared last night at a dinner
to the delegates of the parliamentary com-
mercial conference.
"It Is Impossible to foresee the future,*
he said, "but I do believe that the fateful
hour of this war is upon Us, and If In an-
other three months our enemies have won
no strategic object then their campaign
will have failed, and It will, I hope, be a
decisive failure."
The Germans possessed the most perfect
military machine that ever existed, but
the chancellor said he believed that when
the history of the war was written it
would be seen that Germany had made
great-r military mistakes than any other
nowtr. He Instanced the submarine war
fare which had brought the t'nited St.ites
Into the war. He doubted whether tier-
many would get as much ant of Itursla
as she expected Wherever the German
soldier had planted his foot, the name of
German was loathed for generations
The chancellor spoke gratefully of
American help and alluded to the wonder
fil organization In seudlug American
troops across the Atlantic.
Mr Honar Law said lie trembled to think
what would have been the position of the
allies after Russia went out of the war
but for the help of the Flitted St.ites. lie
bail not despaired of Russia, who was like
a patient In a delirium.

"I see nn Immediate hope of peace. There '

The Need of a Good Watch
For the Soldier
The army moves on the second—no time lost—every-
thing like clockwork. Each man in the service, officer
or private, should have an accurate watch. In camp
"over there" it is a daily necessity—in the trenches "over
there" it Is an absolute requirement. Because of lack of
watches among the army abroad the U. S. Government
recently ordered 100.000 Swiss watches to supply the
deficiency. How much bette- to see that he is supplied
before he goes, with a watch he can trust and rely upon.
