When the conflict between th Rtt began la the early part of 1861. there were inouaands both la the North and South' who confidently predicted that the following Christmas would see the issue decided and the banners of war rarled. But four Christmas days were to pass, and the April of 1865 was to come before hostilities ceased and peace was restored to the land. The war, which had been expected w end within a few months, had last ed more than four years, had cost tens of thousands of Uvea, and mil lions of money. And so it has been with nearly even war that has been waged.. Neither prophet nor' far-seeing soldier or statesman has beetmble to foresee its end. When South Africa burst Into flame one October day in 1800,: the people or England expected, it to he a short struggle. But it was more than three years later -before the Boer delegates set their names to. the treaty which ended the wsr. : , In the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, only six weeks passed before the trag edy of Sedan saw the downfall of Na poleon IH. and .the surrender of the entire army of the North. The con clusion of the lighting seemed a cer tain matter of a few weeks. But to the world's astonishment it' was not nntll six months later that the last shot was fired and preliminaries of peace were .ratified at Bordeaux. 'The Germans had planned to repeat their first six weeks' success in the present war, and but for the gallant Belgians and the British might have done so. They certainly expected complete victory over France apd Rus sia wunin a jew monms. When Russia and Turkey came to blows in the spring of 1877, the Csar's armies marched from victory to vic tory nntll it seemed certain that a few weeks would see the Turks brought to their knees. . But the clerevest ex perts had not foreseen Osman Pasha's gallant defense of Plevna, which kept the Turkish flag flying Irom July to December, and kept final defeat at bay until another year had dawned.- - In Japan's war with China, In 1804, a long and bitter struggle "was almost universally expecteo. uut nere too, Japan confounded the. wisdom of the wise, and by a single sledge-hammer blow-knocked all the fight out of her opponent. . ; p?
