WHAT "THEY SAY"
 IN ENGLAND NOW
Men In the Street Give Views
 About the War.
CPIsIONS WIDELY DIFFER.

man Says Allies Can't Win Until All Fit Men In England Are Sent to the Front.
 What do people-chiefly British peo- pie of various sorts and conditions-say about the war?
 The following opinions were collect cd in English trains, shops, offices and streets. No Heading" questions were asked, and what these people said is printed in their exact words:
 A Journalist - The Germans are learning efficiency from their blunders, while we have learned nothing. We can win this war; but unless the Brit ish public takes the matter into Its own hands and insists upon the dismissal of inefficient bunglers among the poli- ticians and at the war office, we shall lose the support of our allies, the en- thusiasm of the dominions; we shall waste the magnificent efforts of our soldiers and sailors, and eventually we shall lose the war.
 A Peer (who is financial authority The belligerent countries have not realized the tremendous financial per ills Sooner or later there must be crash. And think that Germany must collapse financially before we do. It is obvious that no nation can go on in definitely spending the millions that hain war
 A Manufacturers Agent-Its going very slowly. We don't seem to be able to move. l think it will turn out all right in the end, but we shall lose d tremendous lot As regards the west ern front, 1 am convinced that the war will end on almost the exact line 1t is being fought on now.
 His partner interposed, Il do not agree. When Austria is utterly beat en Germany will ask for peace. am not frightened of the wonderful Ger man system I've seen too much of it in business. The German is lost the moment he gets away from his system. And q clerk in Hamburg takes three
  that q London clerk would do in ten minutes. It's no better as an invoice, and no more accurate. and the GUS toner who examines it isn't giving prizes for handwriting Organization has served them well up to now. But wait till it cracks"
 A Stationer's Manager-I am sur mi a1 ip .t. the first part of the war with a great CT disaster. We have only just begun to wake up, just as we did in South Africa. l think the DardaneleS ex- petition is a great mistake We have deliberately given them warning
 Things Are None Too Happy"
 A Hatter-Things are none too hap py. l don't think now that we shall ever get them out of Belgium. l have thought so for months past.
 A Jeweler-l'm quite sanguine as to the ultimate result. This old country was always slow in getting into her stride. But we are now making the supreme effort. Valuable time has been lost, but we shall get through
 X Policeman Take all the fit men in the country and we'll do 1t and not before. Look at present conditions; attack after attack and never move. A Solicitor, LL D. of Cambridge Look upon the whole thing on broadly historical lines. There is nothing in the history of Germany, let alone Aus tria, to show military Omnipotence. Forget the surprise strokes of 1866 and 1870, and look at Germany's pre- vious history. She has had more de- featS than victories. And Austria has always had nothing but defeats. If Germany were to accomplish what she set out to accomplish she would have done it in the first three months of the war and certainly within the first twelve months. Failing that, ulti- mate defeat is inevitable. bar one thing, and one thing only, and that is that some democratic fool of states man on the allies side persuades us to make peace on inconclusive terms. That is Germanys sole hope, and she knows it.
 A Warehouse Packer-It's a terrible thing, but still I know that we shall win in the end.
 His Friend (a van man)-I don't agree l think that we will get an awful hid ing yet if we are not careful. Directly the Germans have done with Russia they will come back against our lot, We ought to have had those high ex- plosives. Why haven't we after near ly a year? That's what we all want to know.
