WAR NOT AN AFFAIR
OF DASH AND CLASS
British Officer at Front Writes That
Romantic Conceptions
Are False.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associa ted Press.
LONDON, November 1S.-Something
of the inner feelings and Impressions
of the men actually in the trenches at
the front are contained in the follow
ing extracts from a letter sent to a
friend in London by an officer with the
British expeditionary force:
sitting here and reading the English
papers that arrive one cannot help feel
ing that England, at any rate. has not
yet succeeded in banshing the spec
tacular and romantic conceptions of
war. which no longer bear any relation
to the actually. The papers still give
the impression that war is an affair of
dash and class. Incidents are invented
like the charge OF the Bengal Cavalry.
Other incidents, true in themselves, but
isolated and not characteristic, such as
the engagement of the London Scot
tish, are made to convey Il picture of
the whole battle.
Men Are Splendidly Brave.
"As a matter of fact. this is not what
is happening. The bravery Of our men
and they are spIendidly brave, consists
, in sitting for ten days and nights in
sodden trenches with the terrifying
noises and earth shaking concussion OF
shells, which don't kill them, dropping
on the earth around and the horror OF
the shell which does kill them dropping
