CHANGES OF WAR
AMERICAN'S ESTIMATE
FIVE TO ONE AGAINST THIS
YEAR
(Independent Cabie Service.)
LONDON, August 1,
Cabling to the "Daily Express" from The Hague, Mr. Joseph £aterson, proprietor of the New York "Daily News," said: "I have/just returned from a 10----day trip to Germany. I think the chances are ten to one against a general European war before September,] and five to one against war this year."
He bases his forecast on the condition of crops and conditions iii respect of public works. He reports that German army motofised units are to be seen everywhere. There is no doubt about the army's loyalty to Heir Hitler, because the Fuhrer has restored the old dignity of the army.
The Germans look well nourished; but there is no-food to spare.
