THE BRITISH RESISTANCE.
MORAL EFFECT ON THE FRENCH. < < TOMMIES'' ANNOYED *AT RETIREMENT. (Received August 28, 8.25 a.m.) LONDON, August 27. The British resistance to the Germans has had a great moral effect on the whole French line. If the Allies' left had been turned, the retreat might readily have been converted into a rout. It was difficult to hold the "Tommies" back from pursuing the retiring Germans, but the commander decided that a forward movement would be highly dangerous. The order for a general withdrawal intensely irritated the British troops, but they showed coolness and steadiness in the retreat. The Turcos were next the British in the firing line.
