Two small boys who were accused at a London Police Court recently of begging were told that the practice of dressing up as “guys” to collect money for fireworks was an offence against the law. They were cautioned and discharged. That the spirit of young England remains undaunted was abundantly proved by an unprecedented rush of recruits to the Royal Air Force after the wreck of the RlOl. Immediately the funeral procession passed through London dozens of young men, some still bareheaded, presented themselves for recruitment at the Air Ministry. It is the old story of the Briton’s refusal to admit defeat.
