(Copyright, 1H5 by tho N. K. A.) LONDON, Kngland, April 30. TIiIh nlghlmaro ot horrora that In called tho European war has already upael more theories, hopes and pot fancies than any other event In civ ilized history and threatens to upset many more. For Instance, wo always used to say that wars aro (ought by tho workers and wage earners, that tho workers not only pay tho bills ot war but furnish tho cannon fodder. I have said so myself many times an always believed It. , Bat bow wo learn that so far as Great Britain is concerned, anyway, this Is an Illusion to go out with tho rest. The array now carolled under tho British colors contains, of course, a great many workingmen; bat tho bulk of It has been recruited from other classes. Aristocracy Gives Its Mood To the appeal that the nation Is In peril, the aristocracy has marvel lously responded; few families among the old English nobility havo been untouched by tho casualty lists. Tho landed families and the well-to-do have responded; thousands ot their sons lib dead in Flanders. Professional men and what aro called the clerical classes, salesmen, bookkeepers, clerks, secretaries and the like, have responded; hundreds of thousands of them are now under arms. The wage earners havo not simi larly responded; where they are en rolled they have for the most part taken up arms for other motives than an overmastering enthusiasm for their country's quarrel. This fact Is never printed nor pub licly referred to. For tho first tlmo It now finds Its way into typo. And yet It Is most significant, it exists exactly as I have stated It. and pri vately any well-Informed Englishman will admit it The Poor Not Much Interested This Is one great reason why nine months of this war have passed and Britain's army is still Incomplete. This is why enlistments lag and the totals must be kept secret. This Is that "calm and unruffled demean or' of the populace that many writ ers have mentioned. This is the "apathy that at tho enlistment meet Ings the unreported orators are scold ing about. "Apathy" Is tho euphemistic word for it. The wealthy and comfortablo class es aro deeply and terribly wrought up by tho war, Thty feel tho issues at stake; without hesitation they offer themselves and ihclr sons to their counry. They hang breathless upon the dispatches, snap up tho rare newspaper extras, and noinotlnies collapse under tho terrific strain that digs lines dcop In tho faces of tho most resolute. Tho masses of poor men havo a general belief that their country will win, but otherwise they aro not much Interested. It Isn't their war. Dally tho big black types of tho nowspapor placards thrust somo start ling news at them, Thoy glanco at It and plod their way, A detachment of troops marches down tho stroet on Its way to tho firing lino In Finn dors. Never a cheer Is raised. A man on tho sidewalk may Bton to look cur iously lit tho Boldlors; tho crowd plows along and novor heeds. A com pany of afresh recruits goes by In civ ilian clothes, young men' and boys not yet coino to khaki. Therp Is for them ml the waving of a handker ctfleft.a friendly word no an encour aging smllo, IUkv War J'Ytr More Popular As a rule tho people do not even hang But the national colors. Tliero are ssareely more British flags In LosntoR today than ydu usually seo in iwaee times, ttaperflelal observation, confront ed with these undeniable phenomenas ha tried to, explain them as showing "aaifcMMl .self ooatrol," "a fine out war eelw," "ttehw," and "the racial i - t . pi;" - ,, "Tfca ro(al phlem' Is all a myth. fTuw l vo suoli thing, I was much In England In tho days of tho lloer war. There, was left limes" nibro en thusiasm and feeling displayed then than nhyonb can discover now. Thu tradition of rnclnl reserve could hot Possibly outlast .Mnrcklng nlfcht and the historic outburst that followed tho taking ot l'roorln. I was In Lon don th.tt night, 1 saw tho city glvon over to such scenes of dclerlum as probably have never been known else where In civilisation; and the very clauses Mini were half trended about South Africa arc Indifferent now. The figures cdrrohornto mo, To day, nine months after tho war be gan, tho total British forces com manded by General French on tho ftctd ot actual operation aro less than tho number ot troops that went to South Africa. "There people,' said to mo a dls Kustctl nowspapor editor, "don't know thero Is any war." Why Is tho ltritith Worker Vnmovctl It Isn't that. They know, but so j far na tho average toller at tho bot tom Is concerned, ho doesn't really enre. His employer (If ho happens to havo ono), his employer's wife, clerks, tradesmen, aunts and cousins ! care; but he doesn't. Now as this l far and away tho most startling phaso ot tho situation, . to an AmcrlcAn audience the most ' novel and the most Instructive, I am going to deal chiefly with thts subject until wo sift down to tho bot tom of it. Englishmen ot snobbish proclivi ties assuro me that the trouble Is tho British worklngmon is too igno rant and too stupid to understand what Is Involved. That Isn't true. The British workingman understands what Is Involved better than the Brit ish snob understands tho British workingman. it Isn't Ignorance but unmnlhlnir ! Yesterday I put tho question to tho keenest observer of these things In the British Isles, and tho person best qualified by study and sympathy to Interpret tho worklngman's mind, and this was the answer: "In tho first place, tho workers aro not moved by the war becauso they havo learned that was Is notUim)np; 0tnlle physicians mid stir to their Interest. Thoy get nothing ',con!, from ,Hbtnnce will ho Drs. out of. Next, In recent years hero has been growing among them a con viction against all war. And next, they havo been attending Internation al conferences and congresses of workingmen and now they revolt against the Idea of going forth to shoot the comrades they have met."
