SOCIAL INTERESTS KEEPS BRITONS OUT OF RANK
:.. LONDON, Dec 6. One of the beneficient effects of the war In England
has undoubtedly been that It has open
ed the eyes of the smug and self-satis
fied middle classes of this country to the. fact that everything ; Is very far
from being as Ideal here as they, were fond of believing, and that there is room for. great social improvement in England and that it is possible to
admit this without being In danger of
being looked upon as not respectable, the most dreadful accusation that may be brought against an Englishman of the middle classes. -, There are actually people of the middle classes who in the last weeks, have been asking themselves why recruits have not been forthcoming in sufficient numbers and who have been honest enough to admit that when those below them and particularly those at the very bottom of society have shown an appalling lack of patriotism and a certain unwillingness to respond to the country's call the most likely explanation is to be found In the fact that poor outcasts who have lived in a state of semi-starvation from their earliest childhood do not see any particular reason to wax enthusiastic over the glorious British Empire.' I Nor is it strange that a certain recruiting poster depicting a rose-clad cottage situated in a beautiful valley and with the Inscription, "Is this not worth fighting forT" falls to appeal to young men who have known nothing better in the way of a home than a miserable room or part of a room in the squalid slums of London, Liverpool, or Glasgow.
