AFTER THE WAR, WHAT?
All indications of today point to
an early closing of the war. Tur
key has surrendered; Austria is on
the verge of collapse and may have
surrendered before this issue of The
Tribune reaches its readers, and
Germany proper is on the anxious
seat. She wants to surrender ard
will if the allies will make a small
concession upon which she can ap
pease her so called honor. All In
dications point to a cessation of hos
tilities within th«1 present month.
What will be the position of the
United States when the war doses?
There is no doubt but what the
Unit«*d States now occupies the cen
