RESERVESEXPECTED ID RELIEVE DANGER
 BY ENGLISH PEOPLE
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

LONDON, May 29.-The British peo- pleple have received the serious events in France with their characteristic quiet and confidence. Their morale appears not to have been affected and there is not the slightest semblance of excitement in London.
 After digesting the late editions of the morning newspapers the people went quietly about business as usual. Their solemn manner, however, indi- cated that they appreciate the serious ness of the situation. Wherever the latest developments were discussed the predominant view was that the allied reserves would turn the tables on the enemy at General Foch's chosen time and that there was no reason for alarm especially as the ever-growing Ameri- can army had not yet made itself felt
 The afternoon newspapers while not seeking to minimize the seriousness of the German blow on the Aisne, assure the public that the allied reserves are coming into action. They feature the success of the Americans near Mont didier, publishing long accounts from the British correspondents who credit the Americans with brilliant fighting.

 RHEIMS DOOMED TO FALL 1 Seemingly Rheims, like Soissons. also is doomed to fall into the hands ot the enemy, as the French war of- flee reports that the troops coverino the famous cathedral town, which al. most daily for several years has been the target for shells of hate from the German guns, have been withdrawn behind the Aisne canal northwest of the town.
 TOTAL LOSS 12 MILES
 The Germans continually are throwing fresh divisions into the bat tie. but the British and French troops are keeping up their tactics of giving ground only when it is impossible longer to hold positions under the tre- mendous pressure of the enemy. Heavy casualties are being inflicted upon the army of the German crown prince, while the losses of men to the allied forces are described as relatively light.
 r. NO SIGN OF REVERSEs
 Although unofficial reports have mentioned the rushing up of rein . forcements from the south, there has as yet bee mo official statement that General Foch is sending in his re- Il serves.

 Of almost as great interest as the Asne battle is the situation around the little town of Castigny, where the Americans made notable gain in their first "solo' attack against the Germans Tuesday.
