WARS LESSONS AS TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF BY ENGLAND
And URGING ON TO VICTORY

New York. Aug. 2.-Unshaken
resolution to go forward to the final
victory, increasing confidence be-
cause America has Joined in the
great conflict and prediction of a
complete triumph of the Allied arms
were voiced today in series of
statements from leading Englishmen.
on Great Britain's part in the four
years of war ending August fourth.
The statements, issued by the Brit
ish Bureau of Informa ton follow:
BY the Earl Of Reading, British
Ambassador and High Commission
er at Washington:
The fourth anniversary OF our en-
try into the war finds the nation
stern and resolute. Success and re-
verse have been met with the same
unf1inching fortitude. and never has
the spirit of the people been finer
nor their confidence higher.
Sustained in their continuous and
unwearied effort by the love of lib
erty. Navy, Army and civilians have
alike done great deeds. At the out
set the Navy swept the sea, and our
original British Army. some 10000
strong, withstood with France and
Belgium the mighty onrush OF Ger
man millions. That tiny army
handed down it's spirit and tradition
to the hosts that subsequently re-
sponded to the countrys call.
In every sphere of war activity
the men and women of Britain are
taking an ever increasing share, and
however long may be the duration
of the war, and whatever its further
cost in blood and treasure, the Brit
ish people will, in common with our
Allies. never give up the struggle Tor
the freedom of mankind
Coupled with that spirit OF stern
resolve which animates every sec
ton of the community. is the feeling
of very real gratitude to America foI
her aid to the Allied cause. The
glorious achievements of the never
ending stream of American soldiers
which is pouring into Europe go fai
to make certain the final and COM
plete triumph OF our arms.
THE day is dawning; already tht
bright beams of the sun of liberty
are piercing and dissipatinS the
clouds of tyranny and despotlsm
Soon q new era Of peace will opef
to the world"

mining influence on the course Of
the war"
BY British Admiralty official now
in charge of the Allied Oil Supplies:
The quiet confidence with which
Great Britain in 1914 took her stand
by France and Belgium-the stand
which honor and duty required--re
mains unabated. Now as then she
has no illusions as to the strength Of
the foe or the difficulties of the
task. Now as then she knows what
principles are at stake. Now as then
she makes all effort and sacrifice. and
marches straightforward to the only
possible goal. The soul of freedom
lives yet and is not crushed beneath
wealth and ease. 1t filings those
things aside in scorn when the war
der on the hill sounds the trumpet
call that Liberty is in danger = and
the eyes of the dead looking upward
from beneath the battlefield or from
oceans floor do not appeal in vain
"Englishmen and Frenchmen and
Italians have been longer in the war
than Americans. and they know the
advantage Of morale as we'll as of
the fighting strength which America
is bringing to the contest. They
know that her ideals and her moral
impulses are the same as their own.
They admire her fine men-soldiers
she is exerting under her great
| President to mobilize her men, her
ships and all her wealth and mate
rial resources. They have seen her
spirit and her sacrifices grow in in
tensity from day to day. They rec
ognize the brains and inventive ca
pacity of her people.
The way is long yet. but the
| forces are marshaIled under a great
! general, the navies are keeping open
! the highways of the seas-and to
every man and woman who has the
! eye to see. the goal is visible-peace
and renowned victory and the after
| time of a recreated world
! BY Sir Henry Japp. head Of the
| Purchasing Department Of the Brit
| ish War Mission in New York:
August 4. 1914, will ever be mem
orable as the day on which Great
! Britain repudiated the German spg-
gestion that the Treaty of 1889.
guaranteeing the independence and
! neutrality of Belgium. was but a
scrap of paper. That decision saved
the world from the domination of
. Kultur, and put the issue clearlv. as
a contest between Right and Might
between Good and Evil.
Ever since then the British navy
has silently held the enemy at bay
while the Allied armies prepared and
| brave merchant sailors brought to
Europe food and munitions. despite
the menace of lurking subma rines
and mines.
During the past four years France
has not bled in vain. and will ever be
known as Glorious France. buoyant
, with courage and ever gracious and
grateful 10 her Allies.
April 6, 1917, will always be linked
with August a. 1914 as the date when
the United States set the seal of
righteousness on the Allied cause.
The splendid results already at
tanned by this great country in the
field make ultimate victory certain,
and the growing friendship of
| Italy ensures the future peace of the
world and the dawn Of the brother
hood of man.

BY Sir Charles Gordon. Cnlef OF
the Department of War Supplies OF
the British War Mission:
Since my arrival in Washington
about a year ago, I have had an op-
portunity as Director General of war
supplies for the British Government,
of observing at close range the
great preparations for war which
have been made by the United States
and have noted the three stages
through which they have passed.
First, the period which must be
encountered when all is confusion.
and which is incidental to the entry
of any great nation into war, and
during which all sorts Of progress
seems to be extremely slow. No mat
ter how capable or willing the many
prominent officials and voluntary
workers may be, it is difficult dur
ing this period to have coordination
and o-operation between depart
ments or governments who are all
striving at the shortest possible no.
tice to secure the various war sup
plies which are necessary to carry on
war.
That period has happily passed,
however, and the second period has
also come and gone, during which
the spirit of cooperation has been
most manifest between the many
departments of the United States
Government and the War Mission Of
the Allies situated in Washington.
1t may now be said that the third
period has been reached. when the
unbounded resources Of the United
States for carrying on the war are
being quickly developed to such a
point that all requirements, not only
Of the United States themselves but
also of the Allies. will soon be taken
care Of, putting at the disposal of

Rv Brieafiier General w. A. White,
commanding the British and Cana
dian Recruiting Mission in the
United States:
"On the fourth of August, 1914,
Great Britain declared war on Ger
many. The actual cause of war was
the German invasion of Belgium But
war was certain from the moment
France was attacked. for no Eng
lishman would ever have held up his
head on the continent of Europe If
we had left France TO her fate. SO
on this fourth of August we are
still fighting to drive Germany out
Of Belgium and France. We rejoice
that last year America was with US
in this fight in spirit and this year
she is there with the men and the
guns. so that at last the tide is
turning. Just as the fourth of Au-
gust, 1914, brought the final con-
summation Of Franco British friend
ship, so the fourth of August, 1918,
when Britons and Americans are
fighting together on the sacred soil
of France, may be regarded as the
last word in the Anglo American
compact which is the best guarantee
of a peaceful world"
