sion Is given to II, that whichever SIDE
wins in this fight will know that 1t has
been in q fight. The German does not
belittle the fighting qualities Of the
Englishman. nor does the Englishman
say one word in depreciation OF the
prowess of the German.
London is a queer place in some
ways these days, but no queerer prob
ably than New York or Chicago would
be in circumstances akin to those ex-
listing here. The Englishman is great
for freedom of speech and this is why,
probably, that men are allowed to
speak publicly in Hyde Park and Re-
gents park against war. and SO
strongly in favor of immediate peace
without much regard to terms that II
would seem to the stranger and the
pilgrim that the utterances from the
point of view of authority would be
almost treason.
Side by side in the parks with the
peace pleaders are the recruit plead
ers, who extol the glories OF the EN-
pire, the righteousness of the war and
the necessity for filling up the ranks
at the front as fast as they are de-
pleted.

Making Of Officers.
They are training officers at Alder
shot as they are training enlisted men.
For the most part it seemed to me that
the officers had been given some pre-
liminary training either in what we
Americans call school brigades or in
some Of the organizations semimili-
tary in nature which England. like
other countries, has in numbers. The
young officers work from reveille to
taps every day at their task Of learn
ing. Anyone of the veteran noncom-
missioned officers now serving as drill
masters knows more Of camp cam
paigning and battle matters than any
of the commissioned ones under tutel-
age. But these youngsters wearing
the insignia of rank for the first time
seemingly are much in earnest. They
have a lot to learn. but they are try
ing to learn it quickly. for Englishmen
seem to know the dire need of trying
to combine thoroughness with haste
in the present time of danger.
The women of England, like the
women of Germany, France and Aus
tria, are working as hard in their OWL

London.-When you look drowsily

recur to one who walks the gloom

London at night, however. is not
wholly dark. Today. or should one
say tonight, there is one light where

skyward from many a London roof.
They are harmless looking weapons
from the viewpoint of the street, but
they are Of long range and are said
to be of deadly precision.
Thus far, or at any rate up to the
time of this writing. London has been
immune from the attacks of aircraft.
What may befall some night no one
knows. The signs of warning are still
posted along the streets. The city
dwellers are told not only to beware
OF the bombs of an enemy but Of the
