[WOULD CBliSIl GERMANY 1TH UNITED STATES' fiiD Prof. Adams Says Too Much in Civilization is at Stake in Present War. EXPECTS ITALY TO GET IN Kaiser's System Anachronism, He Says, and Victory Wouid Turn History Back. London, Nov. So much is at stake fcr civilization in this war that Germany must not be nllowetl to win it, e'en if it is necessary for tlie United oi tlie allies, is the assertion made b.v Professor George Burton Adams, of iaie, who has just returned to Euglaud after several months in Italy. it iiKeiy that Germany will win. On the contrary, he is fliiumed to believe that the Germans hav already spent their h-trength in two great attempts on the ■01st uud Lliii west to crush tlie allies aud have iaiicd in both. He says that, able sourees, there are not enough sob oecisiou in the Raiser sVuvor. This, he maintains, places Italy in a position where, it she enters the war now ou the allies' side, she would be a deciding factor and, us Turkey has .-boson to become em'oroiiod, it would ij_. little surprising if Italy soon joined .he allies, t roiessor Adatns says: "Italy can jilace a fine body of troops in the field. From what I could earn, she would be able to supply tally 3,OOu,0ClO men. The Italian army, it-xt to that of England, is composed in Europe, The officers are alert and Keen and the men are a fine-appearing iot. Tbe Italians are overwhelmingly in favor of the allies. "There would be a revolution in Italy, 1 believe, from what I was told, if tlie Government sliould attempt to fight on (lie side of Austria. Now that Turkey has stepped in, I think it likely that Italy will not long remain out of the fighting. "Germany represents- iu government aud Institutions ail obsolescent system away from which the world has been If Germany should become the dom- ! inant power of the world, l'rofessor Adams asserted, history would be turning back upon itself. England would 1 probably lose all her African possesj .f.0113, aud lu the not distant future I F.>" -in! would have to wage again I with other nations a war against Gt i many. He said: : "Germany must be defeated in this ! - war. If it comes to the point, when it. :i is necessary for the United States to t aid the allies to the end that they should win, then I hope it will be done, t She is opposed to everything for which 1; we stand, and our turn would be next . if Germany were successful."
