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."
