London, To-day. British war correspondents who have been with the B.E.F. in France returned to England last night with a number of Americans and journalists of other nationa- lities.

London, To-day.
While not concealing the criti- cal phase of the military situation, the newspapers this morning ex- press absolute faith in the deter- mination of the nation to face with stoicism the struggle ahead, how- ever hard it may be.
All are convinced final victory will be brought about by this grim determination, backed by every ounce of energy.

The determination of the French people is also seen in M. Rey- naud's speech which is described as courageous and realistic, The "Daily Telegraph" Let the prospect be faced. country is now close to the front of battle. We shall know how to endure the worst that may come, defy it and strike back with in- creasing power. M. Reynaud's de- claration that France would fight on to the end is answered by equal resolution in Britain. are also unshaken in our confi- dence that the two great united nations and the Empires arrayed behind them cannot be beaten,

"The Times" says it is well we should contemplate the black side. Hope need never be abandoned in war while the forces remain in being. Referring to M, Reynaud's the account of the mistakes on Meuse, the paper says there is vir- tue in its very frankness and it does at least throw a different light on the legend of German in- vincibility under all conditions. Even if it should prove that this phase of the battle is, in fact, lost and that we have to make ready for that to follow, with all the disadvantages which its loss will have brought upon, we shall still - face the enemy calmly and with- out flinching. There is no hint of faltering in the intensified struggle before us.
The "News Chronicle” declares that at such an hour there is only one virtue for us all, and that is courage, and only one vice, that is to breathe the word defeat. The Ninth Army met a reverse but the whole of the rest of France's mag- nificent fighting force remains in- tact and has not yet tried conclu- sions with the enemy.
The "Daily Herald" says the Allied forces are in a dangerous. situation but let us give way to no exaggerated impulses of pessim- · ism. Extremely formidable Al- lied forces are still in the field. If Weygand and the French and Bri- tish Governments give leadership and decision in the spirit of M. Reynaud yesterday, the two peoples will show themselves ca- pable of the superhuman effort ..that is needed.-Reuter,
