LONDON, June 20, (by mailD-It
has all happened so gradually in Eng
land that no one has particularly no
ticed il. But if you have been away
from London for six months you find
upon your return that the last half
year has utterly changed the lives of
Englishmen.
Suppose for instance that your
town were London. What would the
war have done to it. or to your home
life? And how would you take these
changes?
Would you be satisfied if half the
matches you bought didn't light be
cause the sticks broke or the sui
phur tips were absent? And if the
price on matches went up. i'm spite of
this?
Or, how would you take it if the
coal man didn't make his deliveries
and you found your home coalless
some raw morning?
Or suppose the government put
license tax of $95 a year on your lit
tie family automobile for which you
had paid only $500? And suppose
gasoline went up to 81 cents a gallon.
Suppose your morning newspaper

ply was getting low?
Suppose for every dollar you made
you had to turn over a dime to the
government for war purposes, just
as an income tax, not including the
many small taxes you would pay on
almost everything consumed in your
home?
Would you be bothered?
Strangely enough, if you had the
spirit OF this new England you would
not. Your whole idea would be to beat
Germany and that idea would keep
your attention so closely riveted to the
battlefields that the details of home
inconvenience would largely escape
you.
At least, to a neutral onlooker. they
have escaped the folk of London.
There's New Spirit in England.
1t is difficult for a neutral to under
stand this unless he is on the ground
but, if you had the new English spir-
it-and such a spirit has grown up
within the last six months and reach
es down TO the very core of English
life-and your town were London, you
would be enduring Inconvenience that
appear almost unbelievable to you.
There's beefsteak, at forty-two cents
a pound. Beefsteak, in your home
in Missouri or Kansas, would become
a luxury.
There wouldn't be many eggs for
breakfast at cents apiece. Suppose
as an Easter treat, you had planned
to have eggs anyhow, and then were
faced 10y this announcement in the
newspapers: please don't eat eggs for
Easter, our soldiers need a million
eggs" Would you go without eggs?
You would
