BACK TO THE ORDEAL.
NEUTRAL OBSERVER’S PRAISE. CHEERFUL SPIRIT APPARENT. LONDON, September 30. A neutral observer has commented on the fact that the famous week-end habit of tlie British has now been turned to a new purpose. He had noticed that a large number of Londoners of every class had travelled out of London to a quieter area to get at least one good night’s rest in place of the repose broken by the noise of. British and German explosives.
What impressed this observer most was the; cheerful spirit with which Londoners packed trains to the metropolis on Sunday night ready to face the ordeal of the senseless air bombing of another week.. He said: “Far from running away from London, these people seemed to be back to it. No wonder the British are so hard to understand.”
