 CHEERFUL AND
 READY TO FIGHT

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Mr Will Crook, M. F.. has returned to his home in Poplar after a strenuous week at the front
 CT went out to cheer up the Tom mies." he said to The Daily Tele- graph representative last night "and the net result Of the tour is that the Tommies cheered me up.
 'I can tell you." he added with em- phasis, that have seen a good deal that is comforting after the pessimism here in England. At four o'clocl, in the afternoon newspapers arrive from England. More than once l have been asked by some pensive Tommy who is reading about the so-called indiffer- ence of the people at home, the slack ing. and all that sort of thing, wheth- CT it is true. and l have told them then and there and again at the meet ings ! have addressed that it is all lot of lies.
 That is peg on which l hang one of my stories tell the men that there are pessimists and optimists at home, and for fear they do not un- derstand what l mean. explain that an optimist is the man who does ev- erybody and takes care he is not done and the pessimist is the wan who once lived with him.
