Britons More Hopeful
As Nation Starts
Fourth Year Of War
Public Weary, but
Many Things Show
Morale Is Good
BY RUSSELL LANDSTROM,
Wide World

LONDON, Aug 29-Britain starts
the fourth year of the war a far
brighter and more hopeful nation
than it was year ago.
Few then honestly believed that
Russia could long Withstand the
German armies; few thought that
the cities of England would escape
further death and destruction in
the coming winter. The United
States was a neutral, though be-
nevolent neutral.
In many places there was less to
eat, less to smoke, less to drink tina.
now; the prospect for the winte:o
fuel supplies was chilling; most pee
pie expected a greater extension of
rationing than has come to pass.
1t would be idle to pretend that
there is little or no war WEAKNESS
today. Jolted by a succession of set
backs and crises. the spirit inevita-
bly, says at times.
But potent tonic for dropping
morale has been the first displays
of the strength of American arms
and the range of American ingenu-
ity. Conversations with small shop
keepers. farmers, clerks, people on
trains and in saloons disclosed an
almost mystical faith in the poten-
tialitieS of the American construc-

Still Fond of Flowers.
But it is in the little things that
one learns most clearly England's
temper, the fine humors OF the peo-.

British peoples fondness for flowers.
In the suburbs, the country and
the small towns, flowers are grown
abundantly. The land is needed for
vegetable growing, yet space some

Men with pushcarts go about Lon
don's streets selling flowers, women
set up sidewalk stands and offer
blooms to passersby for small sums
A year ago enormous prices were
charged for meals in many eating
places in the cities. Now there is
a one-dollar limit on a meal. Fancy
continental cooking is virtually no

on dinner check in most hotels
and restaurants the dollar maxi
mum plan has provoked consider

crowded and relatively few have
dining cars or sleepers. Yet there is
a continual coming and going of
vacationists to and from Cornwall,
Devon, Wales and the lake districts
of northern England and of Scot
land.
Britain is a land of saving and
salvage 1t is forbidden now to

scrap metal.

get piece of waxed paper is like

Another year of war has further
altered English country life On the
smaller places, turned over chiefly
to the growing Of vegetables and
fruit, the acute problem is to obtain
the necessary labor In the old
days the small growers had three
to six hired hands; now in many
