Dr. Wirt visited tne scene of con. filet In Europe, went Into the trench es and talked with potentates, sol dlers and the widows and orphans left by the war. His description of, the conditions in Kurope was more educational than a month of reading on the subject. He declared that the Europeau war U deadlocked and will not end until both udea are exhausted. The kaiser will never reach Paris, he said, and the allies will never reach Berlin. He appealed with all the energy at his command for opposition to any policies that might tend to make for wax. He advocutcd a large army and uavy as the best way to maintain peace. He praised President Wilson foi l. in im .mi .if war. and said "a small cloud hangs over Kurope, an iciiaiu loolish and thoughtless per sons in America would bring It upon us.
