Mr.. Prouty, who has supervision of
tho physical valuation of railroads,
thinks the job will take years to COM
lIctc. He is also of the opinion that
of freight rates must wait
upon physical valuation, while admit
ting that the railroads need increased
revenue If all of Mr. Prouty' 5 conclu-

London. Aug. 30.-lt is impossible
adequately to describe the war
spirit which has swept over England
since the repulse of the allied army
en- the French frontier Until then
the people were not fully aroused or
awakened, but now the most sober
and sedate freshman as well as En-
glishman talks of putting an army
of 100000 Britons in the field in
the next eight months.
There is no doubt whatever now
that if the allied armies in France
had been completely annihilated and
if the Germans were today at the
gates of Pals the war would only
have begun.
Following are two appeals typical
of the spirit IN England and Ireland
