. Length of War Up to
Those Starting It
BUDAPEST (Via London). Pec. 2
Count Stephen Tfcza, Hungarian premier,
in the House of -Magnates today discussed
the probable duration of the war. He
said the length of the conflict depended
on those who started It.
"We will continue to fight until they
cease their attacks upon our security. In
dependence, and national greatness." he
said. "We will continue the war until
our enemies see that any further pro
longation by them means a perfect use
less bloodshed without bringing them a
hair's breadth nearer their goal.
"The events of nearly a year and a half
In the various arenas of the war have
given the situation definlteness. Already
our enemies can know that thev cn
accomplish the object of their attack and
that our victory will create a guarantee
for our security, but by no means Involve
encroachments upon the existence of the
other great powers of Europe as their
victory over Us would do.
"Today any further prolongation of the
war by the means of a perfectly useless
bloodshed, while It means for us also
the shedding of precious blood. Still It
cannot be doubted that It means far
greater sacrifices for the losing side, for
It must bear, at least, a part of the win
ners' losses. Every further drop of
tioodabed in this terrible struggle of
nations will be ahod in vain and the cry
to heaven for the responsibility there
fore must be borne by those who con
jured up the war from selfish motives
and lust of conquest concealed behl:l
nypocntlcal phrases, and who now
fuse to stop It."
