It one were to judge from what
Knight be called the physics of the
cats, since the devolution of the war
must of necessity be more or less
equal to its evolution, the war in
Europe will last for years, More-
over, to turn to what might be called
the psychology of the war, that there
itis no immediate let-up in sight is .con-
firmed every time the primary fac-
tors that are considered necessary to
bring about and to maintain a per-
manent and stable peace are stated
by either side. For it is obvious at
this juncture that neither the Allies
tor the Central Powers are within
anything but the remotest prospect
of those basic conditions which all
are agreed can only end the war.
Indeed, that the duration of the war
will probably surprise even those who
"look to a long war" is indicated very
clearly in the utterances of Maxi-
milien Harden, the famous Berlin ed-
itor and Lord Northcliffe, the great
British publisher. While these well-
known personages naturally view the
matter from extremely opposite
points of view, what they say com-
plements each other, and Lord North-
cliffe's view that England is "just get-
ting ready" to fight fits in with Har-
den :s point that Germany is more
than ready to continue its offensive.
The Berlin editor is quite right in
saying that if the Allies believe that
"Germany is exhausted" or has not
kept up with her admittedly high state
of "before -the -war" military pre-
paredness they are indulging them-
selves in vain illusions. All this
means, of course, indefinite prolonga-
tion of the war.
Even if none of these men sees the
thing open-mindedly and has the na-
tural bias of his racial and national
emotions, it is obvious that with Ger-
many feeling she has already won,
and with her physical resources and
her military efficiency, as she sees it,
more than equal to the combined ef-
forts of her enemies, and with the
Allies, on the other hand, determined

In an article written for L'Illustra-

DRUG FIENDS.
Morphine and Alcohol Are Both
Poisonous Drugs.
That alcohol is a habit forming
drug is denied by no qne but its de-
votees. Its denial would be useless
because • every one knows men who
have become victims of the alcoholic
habit that cannot break away from it,
Nothing is more pathetic than to see
some of these men trying to break off
the habit, suffering untold tortures
and failing time after time until they
give up in despair and plunge in deep-
er than ever, in hopes of ending their,
misery.
Morphine is also a habit forming
drug, but it is -very little used com-
pared with the various alcoholic
liquors, because it is not pleasant to
the taste and because the habit of
treating to a dose of morphine has
not become popular. Its action is very
similar to that of whiskey or brandy.
In moderate doses it dulls the sensi-
bility to pain and in large doses causes
a stupor resembling profound sleep.
Like alcohol, once the habit is fully
formed, it is almost impossible to
break off. Men who make a specialty
of treating the drug and alcohol habit,
tell me that it is easier to cure per-
manently a morphine fiend than an
alcohol fiend. That is probably due
largely to the habit many have formed
of urging their friends to drink. The
day is not long passed when some
would take it as an insult if you re-
fused to drink their dope. Both these
drugs have the effect of blighting the
moral sensibility so that a drinking
man will do or say with perfect in-
difference what he would have shrank
from with horror before he acquired
the habit. Examples of this we have
had in plenty or late, when men stoop
to the most despicable acts, utterly
indifferent to the need or fate of their
country'. Anyone who has ,tucked the
question knows that much of this mo-
ral degradation bas had its origin in
drink on the part of the person or his
l ancestors. Morphine and alcohol are
`both poisonous drugs and both have
the tendency to affect the higher mor-
a al centres first.
It is dreadful to contemplate the
power which the traffic has acquired.
In England; France and Germany,
they have defied the Government and
the War Office to do mare than slight-
ly Curtail their business. In Sweden,
the people voted a hundred to one in
favor of Prohibition, but they •did not
get it. In Ontario, people have vot-
ed by large majorities on three dif-
ferent occasions in favor of prohibit-

CIGAR -SHAPED OIL SHIPS.
May be Used for Carrying 011 From
U. S. to England.
Cigar -shaped ships, carrying each
20,000 tons of oil, will probably be
used to bring oil to England from
America in the near future, says the
London Daily Chronicle.
They will travel under water, or,
at least, in an almost submerged
position, and be towed across the
ocean by steamers. It has been found
that a submerged vessel can be towed
much more easily than an ordinary
vessel of the same size, this being
due to the fact that the vessel is,
even in its surface position, almost en-
tirely submerged, and the discovery
has been made use of in the design
of the new gigantic oil carriers.
Another novelty will be the per-
manent storage of large quantities of
oil under water. Ordinary oil stor-
age tanks are splendid marks for big
guns, and are also vulnerable to at-
tack from the air. The new method
consists in sinking large steel cylin-
ders filled with oil in an artificial lake,
the oil being pumped in or out as re-
quired. An air chamber in each cylin-
der provides means for raising it to
the surface.
