¶1Memobandum It clearly appears from all the attendant circumstances surrounding the making of the lease herein that it was the intention and understanding of the parties thereto that the phrases, “ duration of the war ” and “ end of the war ”, were to mean that day which marked the end of actual hostilities with our enemies (Matter of Jones v. Schneer, 270 App. Div. 1027).
