UNITED FRANCE.
RECONCILED TO A LONG WAR
LONDON, July 28
The Paris correspondent of "The Times" says that at the beginning of the war ail Frenchmen expected that whatever the result of the struggle might be, it would be speedily attained. They have now accepted the prosspect of another winter campaign. In the early months easy credence was given to reports of the enemy's food scarcity, financial chaos, and military demoralisation. Xow such stories rarely appear in the. French Press. The war has proved a greater instrument of democracy than the French Itevolution. It is difficult, says the correspondent, to discuss the frame of mind of the. different classes of society when all are levelled by the ordeal of wattle. Morally they are one, to-day. The French army is the French nation.
