LONDON, June 22 "The

General Hinden burg

phrase of Lloyd, George ac
curately expresses the feel

Impatience If not disappointment.
It does not. Nothing has surprised
me mom thnji the absence of criti
cism, the. full realization of our dif
ficulties, the willingness to make al
lowances. Rrglaml does not fully
Mi derstand what we are. doing:, but
.he believes in us.
When an American retriment
marched through the streets of Ixin-
Iimi and before the king at Huck
Ingham Talace, I was curious to
inow what the liritish man In thM
street, the soldier on leave, and .the
policemen, and the housemaid and
her mistress, thought of our new
army about which they had read so
much but had never, seen. Ho ln
siead of- watching the show from a
post of vantage, I dodsed In and
olit anions the crowds along j'icca
Hilly and listened to the voice of the
people talking to itself.

What I heard surprised me the
more, because 1 did not tlilnk the

calculated to Impress a crowd. The
men were In full tjampaiKn kit.
which always means ragged march
ing; they were not graded for
height, which sp'iils the appearance
of troops on pnrade; they were very
tired, and, so far as nppeararce and
drill went, these avcratro and un
picked samples r.f our ritiren
armies could not hold a candle to
the Immaculate, six-foot grenadier
guards, who swung iilor.g ahead with
the tip i f each polished bayonet In
perfect allf-'nnienl. and performed
evolutions like, pieces of oiled ma
chinery. Not a word of unfriendly criticism
did I hear. London crowds are not
demonstrative, but there were buisis
of muffled rheeis nil along the
route. Kviry hat was off-is the reg
imental flag pm-sr-d; an honor Sel
dom paid, In these blase May when
the fifth anniversary of the war is
peari even to the. union Jack. Tli"re
were such comments everywhere as:
"Whaf splendid fellows! No show
about them, but ready for business."
"Ionk, not a smile! I pity the
lloches those men catch!" " It
seemed to me that Londoners looked
on the parade not as u ppectacle of
tired, raw troops marching but ax
a symbol, an outward manifestation
of a spiritual fact. It was the spirit
and determination of America that
they saw before them, promise
translated Into performance, and
they saw with an Inner eye, wounded
Tommy and munition girl as well
as statesman and great lady from
Helgrave Pqure. that made them ob
livious to the faults which a casual
onlooker mlcht discern. They saw
correctly, because they had faith. ,
Much to Overcome".
It had not always been so In
Kurope since we came Into the war,
The enemy was prompt last winter
to circulate among our allies the
ill-advised, uninformed and some
what hysterical boast made In
Washington In the spring of 1017
about what we proponed to do with
in six months, elcht months a year.
Thus a spirit of disappointment and'
doubt was Infused, and the violent
attack upon our warmakcrs made
at home, In and out of congress,
with the patriotic aim of Increasing
our efforts, were used abroad, to
gether with the over-optimistic
statements of the year before, to
prove that the United States was
bluffing and would never really
fight. The airplane scandal and the
shipping muddle were exploited,
principally In Franco but to some
extent in Kngland.
, This propogiiiula had considerable
success for a time. In a p'arls salon
in March the conve,rs ilion centered
on American war ai'ns. Surprise
was expressed that Wilson had not
more forcibly impressed his lews
upon our alius, "Vou would do
well to exercise your pressure now,"
timlllnglv aiil a polished neutral
diplomat. "In five months (our
ulliis will have found you out!" And
It was another of the same tribe
who said to me on March 2i.
dreamily looking out of the window
across the Seine "now that the ul

All thcftto miasmas have vanished,

London. Many clubs have Ion-'

that Is not all. Much friend y busi

ed a curious question under the cir

the telephone was fcilcrit for an
awkward moment.
"Kr what about 2:30?" he asked
I said earlier if he liked. I saw
he didn't Intend to usk me to lunch
and Vrneant to find out why.
"1WI, or 2:15, If you can arrange
It." V
I said Just as early as he liked.
I could almost see his d:ecomposuie
In the telephone. I started to count
ten before, agreeing to ll:3u. At
five he weakened.
"Kr you see er sorry I
can't say lunch with me. but. the

And now, of rourse, to save mem

awkward condition of being nniibb

other clubs are retaliating.

AVA sometimes wondered
how it can be possible to
ell Michelins at such low

passed quality which is
built into these tires.
The answer lies in th
Mkhelln watchword:
Economical Efficiency,
Ever since Michelin in
vented the pneumatic auto
mobile tire 23 years ago,
Michelin engineers and
efficiency experts have
studied means of produc
ing and selling tires mora
efficiently.
Every expenditure that will
result in better tires or ser
