LONDON. July 2« (Passed by
censor.) This is not a cheerful
message. bur one which It Is be
lb ved is necessary that America
may know how Englishmen feel dur
• in< the closing days of the third
year of the war
It i« a regrettable fact that never
since the retreat from Mons has the
Itloom been thicker than today in
London's streets, clubs, homes and
even some governmental offices
The immediate cause, of course,
ia Russia's sudden reversal of form
after a totally unexpected and spec
tacularly successful offensive. Rut
secondly, the suspicion is prevalent
that there has been no appreciate
reduction of the submarine menace.
Thirdly, there is disappointment
over America’s slowness in entering
wholeheartedly into the war. as ex
empllfled by congressional obstruc
tion to President Wilson’s food pro
gram. the shipping board muss, and
so forth.
Fourthly, there Is the Increased
cost of the war, and the prospect of
higher taxes
Fifthly, there Is a generally in
creasing weariness of war
One must not suppose that the
whole country is irrevocably
plunged into pessimism. On the
other hand It would he equally a
mistake to conclude that Premier
IJoyd-George's cheerfully optimistic
public Speeches correctly reflect the
general popular attitude
If only the west front were con
sidered. there would be no reason
for uneasiness. Altho England has
so far not erected any ‘wooden
statues" to Field Marshal Havg—as
Germany has done to Hlndenburg—
the British commander in chief holds
public confidence even more than
the Hindenburg of Germany’s most
successful days England Is thorolv
convinced Haig has taken the r>** r .
mans' measure; that the enemy Is
unable seriously to dent the British
line, even If reinforced by his whole
eastern army
On the other hand there are
mighty few Englishmen so rash as

to believe England will be able ma
terlally to force back the Germans
until millions of American Sammies
arrive, and thla despite the fact that
the Rrittsh have never been so tre
mendously supplied with munitions
at now The hope of effective Rus
slan military assistance Is practical
ly abandoned But this Is not the
most serious feature of 'he east
There the prospect of a German vie
tory means the opening of vast re
sources of food and war materials,
rendering the North sea blockade
useless and giving the enemy an
economic advantage, even 1f It is
granted that the submarine menace
can be gradually subdued But so
far there has been no official deni*
of the German official and detailed
claim of over a million tons of A,
lied and neutral tonnage sunk by
submarines in June-- with aeveral
commander* to be heard from.
Regarding American participation
public enthusiasm has been cone’d

that earlier reports as to the size
of the first American eipedition
were wildly exaggerated and since
It realizes 'he Amertcan people do
not yet appreciate the magnitude
