LIFE AND THOUGHT IN LONDON
An EEglIshwoman's Report or War
Conditions I'm the British Capital.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. In
the English newspapers to-day we have
reproduced the "German Impressions of
London given by Herr Won Wlegand,
and as some OF these iEpressions are
mistaken and superficial venture to
offer a correction from within. Herr Won
Wlegand says: "The reason of the war
has not yet come home to the English,
and London has not yet fully awakened to
Its meaning. In Berlin every child knows
what the war means There are few
homes In which tho enemies bullets or
shells have not struck. England" he says,
is deceiving herself or deceiving her
people," &C,
1t is quite true that the German reason
for the war has not come homo to US
and we are Dewldered and shocked when
we hear England accused OF treachery
and OF having started the war But
every child knows that we were unwll
ingly forced into this war because We
could not he false to our pledged word
to defend the weak. Had not war been so
repugnant to us. and we so unready for
II. little Belgium would not he so desc
late to-day.
We have never had any Illusions con-
corning the lighting strength OF Germany,
who for years has prepared and worked
for THE Great Day" The only Illusion
we have suffered from IL that until this
a civilized nation who held honor. truth
and gentleness to women and children as
the highest attributes Of manhood From
the first we have known that IL would be
a grim fight and that we must suffer
greatly and know many dark days. From
the first We have prayed for courage and
self-control TO endure that which We
should have to bear.
All social life has been given up and all
classes are united I'm the one great effort
To bear each others burdens. including
those OF Belgium and France. II were
strange indeed n We did not realize
acutely all that this war means when We
look upon the many thousands of horror
stricken refugees and nurse their wounded,
not only our own but those Of Belgium.
for our hospitals are filled to overflowinc
with her wounded. We work, work. work
necessarily. but We say little, especially
concerning our private griefs. This Is
not the time to weep, but rather TO en-
courage and cheer TO tho utmost the
brave spirit OF the men who are giving up
everything and are ready to make the SUI
preme sacrifice for their country and the
cause OF right.
The opera would scarcely flourish here
at present We keep smiling and cheerful
over our work. but beneath II all there IS
great heartache; too many stricken
homes to admit OF our being entertained.
Let me say In conclusion that England
has no quarrel with the German nation.
as many OF them very well know, but y
We can, with malice toward none with
charity for all. with frmuess in tho righ;
as God gives us 10 see the right" we
shall, by Gods help. free ourselves AMI
others from the menace OF this great mill

Mr.. whitmau's Mild Disclaimer.

1t is painful to have TO say that Mr..
WIu1MAN'S reputation of the support
of bigotry falls short. He uttcrs the con-

well avoid, but As he utters them they
sound like mere formulas. They are
not convincing. His words leave the
impression that he Is really not very
much offended at the scctarian move.

votes from that source are perhaps as

ties there Is not one syllable of con

says he has not sought the support of
any voter on n religious issue: but that
is not the question. The question Is
whether he Is willing pnsSlyely to profit
by such support or whether he proposes
to reject it with the scorn 1t deserves.
He expresses his belief that "such an
issue should have no part In our poll
ties" This Is mere expression of
abstract belief which leaves untouched
the practical fact that a more or
less formidable organization has rallied
behind him on this very issue without
the slightest encouragement or rebuff
emanaiing from him.
For the rest. Mr. WHITMAN deplores
the issue saying he did not raise It on
his own behalf ana points to his record.

As to Christmas Presents.

Do not think OF cutting down your
Christmas presents Give freely accord
Ing to your means. If your heart Is
heavy for the agonized peoples OF Eu-
rope you need not ne frivolous In CIV
ing. But whether the giving Is joyous
or in the minor key, there never was n
Christmas when the obligation to give
was more pressing.
The proposal to cut Off Christmas
presents grows out Of that well mean
ing hut mistaken view of life which
dwells so much on the supcrhclally
'practlcal" side that It Is blind to all
the practical considerations underlying
the mainly graceful or decorative as
poets of life, A general contraction of
Christmas present making this year
would PROFESSIONALLY have far reach
ing disastrous effects
1t would mean to manufacturers and
