Paris, Nov. 20.
"The men of the British Expeditionlary Force are all cheerful, their health is good, arid I am confident that we are winning the war comfortably," declared Mr. Leslie Here-Belisha, British Secretary of State for War, who has been visiting the British troops in France, in an interview before leaving the front.
The Minister, who spent practically fall hours of daylight yesterday visiting venous sectors of the British line, went into the French area just before he ended his inspection.
Before he returns to England, it is reported that he will see M. Edouard Daladier, jhe French Premier, and will visit the headquarters of General Marie Gustave Gamelin, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied forces.
"The spirit of the troops," Mr. Here-Belisha said, "is noteworthy. I have been impressed with the efficiency of the administrative arrangements. I think the lessons of the last war have been put to very good profit.
"Transport, which broke down in the last war, has been exceptionally well run. The general smoothness with which everything is running is most satisfactory."
The War Secretary added that the activity on the British section of the front had also impressed him.—Reuter.
