DEEP GLOOM SETTLES
OVER ALL ENGLAND

London. Aug. "a I'll p. m.)-This
day OF waiting has brought home the
realities Of war to the British people.
Not before has the whole nation been
so deeply moved. Englishmen know
that most of the best regiments of
their army are fighting a battle on
which the future of the empire may
depend Many thousands have rela-
tives and friends in the army; they
know the death roll probably will be
longer than in the case of any British
force since the Crlmean war.
The only Information the country
has had regarding the battle is con-
tanned in brief official bulletins Of a
vague character. and these have not
been cheering. Throughout London
the people tonight are in much more
serious mood than at any time since
they faced the war There are no
scenes of gaiety in the theaters and
restaurants tonight and the crowded
streets are very quiet This does not
mean that there is any less determin-
alton on the part Of Britons--only
that the people are beginning to real
ize what this war may cost them. On
every side are heard declarations that
the country must be prepared for Il
long and exhaustlng struggle.
While not many reproaches come
from supporters of Lord Roberts cru.
sade for compulsory military service,
not a few admit they never realized
how small part the British army
counted in a great European struggle.
Thus far England has felt the war far
less than any European nation engag
ed, probably less than Holland and
switzerland but now, waiting for the
issue of the battle and for the lists
Df the killed and wounded the Eng
lish people understand all that II
means.
Every boat from Belgium comes
provided with Impoverished refugees,
Nho have fled before the German in
gasion. An organization is being
'ormed to care for these people and
part Of the Prince Of Wales relief
'und which amounts to more than
$500, ,0O0 will be sent TO Antwerp for
who have taken refuge there,
Thousands of Belgians have crossed
he French border for asylum, and a
committee will arrange for their re-
ief
England and France apparently
propose to care for their smaller ally,
Who thus far has borne the brunt of
he hardships which the war entails.
