These days of waiting have
brought home the realities of
war to the people. Never before has
the whole nation been so dceulv mov

and friends in the array. They
know that the casualties must be
great, that the death-rcli will prob
ably be heavier than iu the case of
ihe British force since the Crimes it
war.
The only information of events
Ihe country has had is contained in
brief official bulletins of a vague
character, and these have not been
cheering. Throughout London the
people are in much more serious
mood than at any <inic sine# they
faced the war. There are no scenes
of gaiety in the theaters and res
taurants and the crowded streets
are very quiet.
This does not mean tliat there *s
any less determination 011 the part j
of the Britons—only that the peo
ple are beginning 10 realize what
this-war may cost them. On every
side are heard declarations 'hat
the country must be prepared for
a long and exhaustive struggle.
Thus far Britain lias felt the war j
far less than other European na
