IAssdCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl


 LONDON. July 31-Sir Edward : Carson. attorney general in the As quith cabinet. prepared for the As i sociated Press a signed statement giving a broad outline of the first i year of the the war from the British standpoint together with an eXpres- sion of the unalterable purpose of the British government and people to carry the war to a successful con clusion How long will the war l last" says the statement. and what will be the result? To such ques- tions as these any British subject can give but one answer. That the war will last until the cause of the , allies is brought to successful is sue and Eurcpe and the world reliev- ed of the ideals involved in the az Sression of Prussian domination. The word peace does not enter our VO- cabulary at the present time. Ii has been banished from our conversation as something immoral and impossible under the existing circumstances Yet We are the most peace loving people in the world, a nation which through out the globe in its many dominions has inculcated good government so- cial and industrial progress and the free exercise in it's widest sense of civil and religious liberty Rightly or wrongly We in the past have de- voted our energies and intelligence not to preparations for war but to that social progress which makes for the happiness and cOntentment of the mass of our people.

 German submarine attacks have signally failed to hamper our military operations.

 "The manner in which our troops have received supplies is a source of satisfaction to us. and admiration to our enemies
