GALLANT BRITISH FIGHT.
AMERICAN OPINION. NEW YORK, Aug. 14. The New Y"ork Times in a leading article warmly praises the gallant fight which the British are putting up. It comments on the inability of the Germans to disorganise the nation’s production because of the wide distribu - tion of industrial centres, and on the intrepidity of the people. “We believe that the Government is wise in telling the nation that still worse raids are coming,” the articlestates. “But it would be wise, too, not to be discouraged by what Tias happened already. It has one priceless asset worth more than all the defences—the calm, steady, disciplined morale of a free people in the face of terrors which are all the worse for having been foreseen. “The common people of Britain are giving an inspiration.”
