Kitchener knows now, Asquith '. knows, Lloyd, George knows, Bonar Law knows, the Labor leaders of Britain and the labor unions know just how serious, how deadly serious this war is. And on London streets and in London offices, in the draw- ing-rooms and at week-ends men are asking each other sotto voice questions they would not dare to ask aloud, and are getting answers` sometimes that give a queer feeling at their British hearts. I* . ' A ` `I o . - c w u n A A unnvauu uvuzx vvuuuo The rst impression one `got oni reaching London about two months; Iago was that the traditional British! [ cocksureness had been `shattercdandi "had been replaced by a `paralyzing `sense of uncertainty. You caught` it everywhe1'e, on the streets, in the hotels, at dinners, in the-House of: Commons and iii the press, even in the press." It was not so much What] people said, but what they refusedl to say. It was the determined and! obvious effort to be cheerful that` depressed and disturbed one. Every- body was `saying, to his neighbor: I Cheer'up, `things Will improve. But everybody, when by himself, re- fused to cheer up, being firmly con-1 vinced that things` were `.`beastly rotten. He was mostly -engaged during those lonely ' moments in damning in his own particular Way something or somebody, and not the; {Germans either because of thej !` `rotten beastliness `of things in ,general,_ and especially things about I }the War Office. -1171 . nr-- `l -A serious business _ indeed is this twar.

And the press, the magnicent British press, every day and everywhere drove into the heart of'the nation the appeal: Invest in the war loan. And invest they idid, men their hundreds of thous- aands, women their hundreds and children their pounds. One day, in the House of Commons, Mr. Mc- Kenna made the quiet announce- ment, after -the British way, that eight hundred million pounds had, been subscribed by three-quarters of n a_ million of British men, women and children, and that the end was not yet. That quiet voice in the British House. of -Commons .pro- duced two satisfactory results. It helped the British people to cheer up and it shattered the complacent dream of stupid German egotism that British nances were in -a criti- cal condition. ` ' Orillia, received $18,458 insurance on the burned town hall.
