ENGLAND's ILLUSION.

One statement by Norman Hall,
the Colfax young man who has just
returned from q summer in the
trenches with the English army, bears
out the oft repeated charge that the
people of Great Britain did not take
the present war seriously until long
otter it was under way. Mr.. Hail
enlisted last May with group of
friends. Not one of them ever ex.
pected to see actual service. They
enlisted under the impression that
England already had enough men in
Europe to whip the Germans and that
the expedition they were in was going
over to clean up things after the
war; To the credit of the recruiting
officers it must be said that they
gave no such assurance. The news
papers were mainly responsible for it.
Perhaps this explains the difficult
ty England has met in recruiting her
armies. The London papers have per-
sisted, it is said, in speaking dis
paringly of the German as fighter.
"They will run from bayonet
charge" Mr.. Hall declared the news
papers reported during the time he
was enlisting.
1t is small wonder that the Eng
fish public has turned to criticism now
that the English arms have failed
in so many quarters England has
long entertained the notion that it
was not only mistress of the seas but
lord over all nations. Now that the
English pride is being pricked we
may expect to see an awakening.
