(By Associated Press)

London, May 3O.-The British peo-
pie 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 SEM
blance of excitement in London.
After digesting the late editions of
the morning newspapers, the people
went quietly about business as usual.
Their solmen manner, however, in
dicated that they appreciated the Sc
riousness of the situation. Wherever
the latest developments were dis
cussed, the predominant view was
that the Allied reserves would turn
the tables oSa the enemy at General
Foch's chosen time and that there
was no reason for alarm, especially
as the ever-growing American army
had not yet made itself felt.
The afternoon newspapers, while
not seeking to minimize the serious
ness of the German blow on the Aisne,
assure the public that the Allied re-
serves are coming into action. They
feature the success of the Americans
near Montdidier, publishing long ac-
counts from the British corerspon-
dents, who credit the Americans with
brilliant fighting.

Washington, May 30.--President
Wilson in an appeal last night to
the American people urged them to
economize to the utmost in all pur-
chases, in order that productive agen-
cies of the country can be devoted in
the fullest measure to the making Of
war supplies. His statement reads:
"This war is one Of nations--not Of
armies-and all of our 100,OOO.OO0
people must be economically and in
dustrially adjusted to war conditions
if this nation is to play its full part
i'll the conflict. The problem before
us is not primarily a financial prob-
lem, but rather "a problem Of increased
