Show EILISH BELIEVE THE .EI OF IB IS' Ii SIGHT Salt Lake, Aug. 4. Tribune: That the peoplo of England believe the European war will be brought to a close within the next twelve months with victory for the allied forces, is the word brought by Dr. D. Moore Lindsay, who returned yesterday from a sojourn of several months In the British isles. Dr.- Lindsay left here several months ago to see his son, Lieutenant Crawford Lindsay, who was seriously wounded in battle on the western front, and, incidentally, incidental-ly, to attend the wedding of the son. Lieutenant Lindsay Is recovering steadily and expects to report to the examining board August 19 to determine deter-mine whether or not he is fit for further service or will be discharged. Dr. Lindsay is of the opinion that he. will pass the examination and probably prob-ably will he assigned to service with the troops on English soil temporarily and later, perhaps, sent to the front. "The English people firmly believe that Kitchener was right when he said the allied forces would suffer during the first two years of the war, but in the third that victory would crown their efforts," declared Dr. Lindsay. "The events of the past few weeks bear out his prediction and Great Britain can see nothing but the overthrow of the central empires. "Except for the somber color of dresses worn by the women and the frequent arrival of large numbers of wounded there is little evidence that tho country Is at war. Business is exceptionally good. The cost of living liv-ing may be a little higher than In normal times, but the high wages received re-ceived by workmen more than offset this. There is no lack of food supplies sup-plies and great ships of commerce arrive ar-rive and depart daily from all the principal ports. "The crossing of the ocean by the Deutschland Is considered in England as a sort, of a 'grandstand' play and Is not taken at all seriously for the reason that all the Canadian subma-I subma-I rincs made the trip across the water wa-ter without mishap. About the only real danger the German undersea boat will incur is in crossing the English Eng-lish channel, where many, many sub-: sub-: rcarir.es have been trapped by the British since the war began. Little has been heard of the large number of German submarines caught In nets by the English since the beginning . of the war and ' probably little will . be heard, as England is not making rublic, what she has accomplished in . that line." rn |
