SPIRIT UNIMPAIRED
ALLIES’ BRAVE STAND. ' Honest anger. AT REVOLTING FEROCITY. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) .Received May 30, 11.32 a.m. RUGBY, May 29. Recent information from the B.E.F. reaching informed quarters ip London makes it clear, that neither the fighting qualities nor the spirit of the Allied Forces in Belgium are in any way impaired. The determination on .the part of every member of the Allied Army to inflict the maximum loss on the enemy fighting forces is'.not lessened by the honest anger aroused in every man by the revolting deeds perpetrated by German airmen and tanks against women, children, and refugees. Expecting both to use and have used against themselves the maximum power of modern warfare, the soldiers 'of the Allied Armies hardly expected to witness the application of military power against helpless civilians in a manner which compares unfavourably with the ferocious cruelties of the wars of the Middle Ages. It is pointed out in London military circles that, while the majority of the B.E.F. personnel are fighting north of the gap made by the German advance, a large (probably larger) part of its material is located south of the gap.
