London Gloomy

London, Aug 9-A deep note of anxiety pervades comment in todays newspapers relative to rejection by the Russian Soviet government of Premier Lloyd Georges request for a ten day truce with Poland. Regard less of the views adopted by different newspapers on the general question of BoIshevism and. on the immediate relations between Russia and Poland concern is reflected by all.
 Renewal of war in Europe is gen. orally considered a possibility and is treated in gravest terms. It is not regarded as inevitable but on one ventures to strike an optimistic note-
 "A very dark hour" is the Times editorial headline. "Is it war;" asks the Daily News, and the Telegraph declares: The situation holds the gravest peril which has menaced Europe since the Germans marched into Belgium"
 The attitude of British workers is given much consideration by several
 journals. The Daily News denounc- ed ''the irreconcilability of France to a settlement with Russia" and de. clares:
 "If the decision rested with Grea Britain there would be peace witf Russia in a, fortnight" In any case the newspaper is convinced worker' | of all ranks in Great Britain will re | fuse to lift a finger and will strike | if so criminal an enterprise as wa, 1 against Russia is attempted" l t'The situation" the Morning Pos ! declares, "has been so contrived tha the allies will be in a position wher l 1t is impossible to advance withou ! disaster, or retreat without dishonol It may be humiliating for Great Bri | tain to capitulate but 1t, is to be mad | impossible for her to fight"
