tSfdf Correspondent United Press.
LONDON, Aug. 4.--Humility and
recognition of her weaknesses re-
placed the blind confidence and
cocksureness of year ago, when
Great Britain today, in thousands Of
patriotic meetings throughout the
empire, observed the first anniver.
sary Of the declaration OF war with
Germany.
The empire. without reservation,
reafnrmed its determination 10 car
ry the war to the bitter end. Pre-
pared resolutions adopted at gather
ings In British possessions through.
out the world pronounced that pol
Icy. But everywhere there was a
striking contrast between the spirit
of the people of today and of one
year ago. Throughout today's meet
ings ran the feeling that Britain has
made serious errors In the past, but
with Il Q bulldog determination TO
profit by these mistakes and to see
to II that they are not repeated in
the future.
The London newspapers sounded
this keynote today In their ami
versary comments. With practical
unanimity they frankly discussed the
empires grave dan Eer and declared
that only . supreme, unified. sacrifi-
cial effort could nave the empire
from disaster. But the tone OF their
editorials on the whole was strongly
hopeful for the future.
A universal anniversary program
vas carried out a. meetings held In
England. Australia, Canada. New
Zealand. India. ireland. Scotland
wherever subjects Of Great Britain
were assembled. The program was
