CEN'L ROBERTSON
NOT WORRIED BY
COURSE OF WAR
Explains Glance at Map Tells
Story of Progress-Proud of
Response of Colonial Troops

London, July 19.-"No, we really are
not worried by the course of the war"
said General Sir William r. Robert
son. chief of the Imperial staff at
army headquarters, in an interview
today with The Associated Press.
LAS to the new offensive, a glance
al the map will tell the story of our
progress. And the happy expression
Of our wounded soldiers from the
front reflects the spirit Of the men.
Do you notice that all published Pho
tosraphs show them smiling or laugh
ing?"
The general himself smiled genially
as he spoke; nevertheless his manner
conveyed his realization of the fact
that he was breaking the silence he
had maintained so rigidly since the
beginning Of the war.
Our hearts were touched by the
ready response Of our fellow British
ers from overseas on the outbreak
Of the var" the general continued.
ITO say VIC are proud of these men
under c,. ''atas our sentiments. II
the manner in which these sturdy
sons of Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa. Canada, and our gallant
little New Foundlard came forward
with their thousands surprised the
enemy, their valor and gallantry in
battle were a revelation to the world.
I'VE have come to feel that our type
of government is not so bad after ALL
Yes, they are still coming. and
while it is hard to single out par
ticular parts Of the Empire, the Can
adams can learn again through you
our high appreciation of their splen-
did fighting spirit and we'll organized
armies. At Ypres, Festubert and many
ether closely contested engagements
they demonstrated the high type of
vigorous manhood produced in the
new world"
