"A NEW DAY"

A new day is dawning,
The light stronger grows,
Bright heralds OF morning
Fresh beauties disclose.
All nature awaking,
Lowing of kline,
BOOSTERS loud Growing,
Air potent as wine.
Cool breezes blowing,
Grass moist with dew,
Flowers sweet are growing,
Refreshed anew.
Clouds on the mountains
Clinging 70 peaks,
Edged bright with silver
Morning bespeaks.
Valleys deep hidden
Mong foliage green;
Ready when hidden
To gladden. the scene.
Mountains high tow'ring
Boldly in sight,
Save where nights yapors
Battle the light.
Altar DER the ocean
Crests tipped with foam.
Billows careering.
Freely they roam.
Still lies the city;
Smoke curling slow,
Mankind preparing
On duty to go.

British Refrain From War Talk
Martial Spirit More Prevalent Here Than in
London, Says Washington Attorney.
Confidence in America Felt.

although food prices have continued
TO soar.
Prices in London and Washington
are not so vastly different Some
things are cheaper on the other side.
Potatoes. for instance. are cheaper,
and so is meat, because the govern
ment has fixed the prices.
Anything made of cotton Is about
100 per cent higher over there than
IL is here. Hose which cost 20 cents
here are so cents there. Eggs there
are 90 cents a dozen.
THE average restaurant there is
limited to serving dinners costing not
more than about so cents. The better
grade also have their price limita-
lions. as well as restrictions on the
amount OF food served"
The British are as enthusiastic over
the American participation in the war
as they can become over anything, de-
clared Mr.. Field.
Confidence In Americans.
Everywhere one hears Of what the
Americans are going to do. There il
an air of confidence, as pronounced
as the air OF confidence that England
and the allies will triumph, that the
United States will do its bit to defeat
the common foe.
Men are not needed as badly by
the British as they are by the French.
Food Is the primary requisite of the
English. France needs both men and
food.
The common people of England
feared nothing, but the officials real
lied the gravity of the submarine
menace, and are deeply appreeiative
of the aid which can be offered by the
United States.
Somehow, one gets the feeling that
the allies are going to win this war"
The Washington times., 1917-05-30

"The war spirit permeates the air
more in Washington than it does in
LONDON, said Walter S. Field, .
W ashingto- attorney, who has just
returned from England, today.
THE English, while deeply con-
cerned, are more conservative than
the Americans, and there is almost
total lack of discussion regarding
the war. In fact, in every public
place, restaurants, hotels. barber
shops, even in buses, placards are
posted, telling Englishmen to refrain
from war discussion.
