An Englishman who joined the French foreign legion at the beginning of the war wrote to the London Times the following account of his Christmas morning:
 I was on guard instantly on arrival and, incredible as it may seem, at the end of two hours went inside leanto and instantly fell fast asleep. though the bullets were crashing against the walls from the German trenches and the shells bursting. I was so exhaust ed.

INTERESTING INSIGHT INTO WAR CONDITIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN
 VIEWED BY AN OBSERVER

I do think there are few dreamers still, but that is largely the fault of the authorities who keep all news, good or bad, so strictly secret. You can't ex- pect the man in the street to grasp the real seriousness of things while the government plays the idiot and goes around making colossal errors and spending vast sums of public money in the wrong way to right matter that should never have gone out of order. But then you also cannot expect a government that never governed to start in doing things properly at this late hour And you can't expect people suddenly to cope with contingencies that never have arisen before and are of suchworld- wide importance and are so intermingled. Then again the peo- ole over here are too close to the scene of work to be able to see clearly. or to take a proper view of matters. If a man only knows his own street and the road at the bottom of it. you can't expect him to be able to meet tho needs of several Continents, or grasp their importance. If man has never seen anything higher than Highgate Hill, he is not going to be able to imagine the size of the Rocky Mountains. It is the same with governing, when they have had to settle little coal strikes and village pump troubles all their lives and for several genera tions, they are not going to cope with the entire Wes- tern Hemisphere graspins at the next mans throat! That is a bit involved but perhaps you know what mean. and anyway there is no use in saying the obvious. is there? But it Is ex- traordinarY how things have settled down. and We all take in our stride the reduced lights. the increased costs and unsettled train services which are the main inconveniences and I do honest ly think that at the back of his mind every man is prepared to do his bit at the pinch And above all. there is no question about the fight being fought to finish, with the allies on top. in spite of the hot air of some of the more misguided Socialists and cranks. which is given so much prominence. in the absence of real news and matters of more importance.

 Although I think the war is going very well for many people, except some of the unlucky ones at the front It Is making those of us left at home lot more considerate to our neighbOrs, and giving people something else to think about besides our own little worries; but I would not have recommended so wholesale a burning of the house for same. As far as We are concerned, in our little office, 1t has completely taken the wind out of our sails, and we are barely making our expenses, but we hope for a revival in the near future.
 The discussion about the drink yer sus work and the effect of drink on the output of war material Is causing a lot of trouble among the workers in the arsenal at Woolwich, as well as in other places, and we venture to think that the trouble is being tackled from the wrong end. I have lived fairly long time in this Vale of Tears, and never vet have I heard of prohibition causing any abatement of any evil. F hot chi thn I f1atly forbidden to do-with no reason given, mark you-were the things spent my time in trying to accomplish Luckily for me. there were not many of them, as my parent did not take that way in my training, but I take it I am not exceptional in this matter I fail to see what good total prohibition is going to do for habitual drunkards and reasonable people should not have to suffer such an indgnitY. putting 'asiGe the possible inconvenience As .i is many people are given unneces- sa,y trouble over the matter under pre- sent conditions. People travelling cannot get anything with their meals at certain hours, and fainting fits and such things are not run by schedule
 unfortunately. Of course. that is a minor matter, but lot of that sort of thing makes major discontent.
 l am afraid this letter is not really what you wanted in the way of infor- mation-but I have endeavored to put down what I know on the subject. you mention. But most emphatically there is no fear or panic on the subject of Zeppelins. and trades of some kinds are booming, while others are dead as doornails; the Stock Exchange suffers, naturally, but even neutral countries feel the effect of the war in their money markets. There is a great deal of money in circulation, though the people who are making a lot are too busy doing their work to spend it in frivolity, and naturally there is not a great desire to be frovolous at such a serious time; then the people whose sons and husbands and fathers and brothers are fighting are not wanting to give parties and go to dances. There is not note of mourning being sound ed to any great extent in spite of the serious casualty lists, but people seem all to be working and thin15iner ser iously of things, and speaking general ly, think the nation is waking up very widely to a sense of it's responsibilities

The following letter received by Mir. esting insight into war conditions in great Britain as viewed by an intelli- gent observer The letter was written April IA and the deductions can there fore safely be said to be right up to the hour:
 London, April IA, 1915. Dear MT Hamshaw.
 It gave the firm" considerable pleas ure to receive your letter yesterday. It is always a nice shock to realize one in this case two-is not forgotten.
 You ask for news of the war, in re- gard to condition of business here Well, in some businesses it is better than average, and in others it is about as bad that it is hardly fair to blame the war for iD. Naturally things hit the floor with loud bump when the war started, and everyone was scared stiff at what was likely to happen. It didn't happen, 50 folks picked up the pieces and tried the business as usual racket, which appeared to go pretty we'll by and large. Where the swings have suffered, people get il back on the roundabouts, have nothing doing, and where the boss IS wise, he has tired side lines, ana made good that way. Writers, artists and III some cases actors have suffered ureadfuiiy. All the ornamental things nave slumped. Dressmakers are nearly dead from hamilton, but tailors are busy with uniforms, any firm that can make anything likely to be at all use ful is working overtime. If man can orders for year to come. l know d man who made < 5000 profit (cant do it in dollars-sorry) on a quarter of d million pairs of rubber boots, and could have d lot more if he had known where and how to get the goods. So altogeth- CT London is not yet knocked sideways, and the provincial towns-especially those up North-are making money in big little heaps. Then the number of soldiers billetted in the towns and will lases means a lot of money one way and another, which is always useful.
 cOnf4e food nrinas and ooalv an1 things are dearer but theatres are crowded, which looks as though there was money for all parties London is darkened at night to a disconcerting extent. but people go around just the same. The public houses close at ten, but the tea shops, that used to close at eight, are now open until twelve As for Zeppelins, the chief fear seems to be that ordinary people will miss them, if they come, so that the folks seem to like to keep around most of the time. The raids up at Scarborough and Whitby last December sent the recruiting fig ures up to a big number I think it is mostly nervous old ladies and the vegetarians who are afraid to die that get scared
