Philip Glbbs, correspondent with the British armies for London newspapers, at his llrst public lecture In America at Carnegie Hall last night, recounted vividly many of his experiences from the first day of tho wiir to the etfftilnff of the armi stice. An uudlencc of more than 3700 men and women heard his praise of urmsn, t'rencn and American troopi. In conclusion Mr. Glbbs said that the victory would not be worth much If out of the blood sacrifice of those who took part in the conflict there did not come smethlng better than tho old philosophy of life which led to the war. The war would hae been In vain, ho ald. If the Americano and British who fought shoulder to shoulder, did not seal in bonds of friendship the sacrifices made together In the trenches. Old Order Mml Change "It wilt have been In vain If the old jungle law remains In Europe," he con tinued, and if these same people are separated in the future by trado com petition and commercial rivalry. But by God's grace we sliall not be sepa rated. The English people desire the friendship of the American people, and I .know that America desires the frlend rhlp of England, and here before you, In this great hall, the first tlmo I have ever spoken to an audience, I dedicate my pen to furthering friendship between America and England." The subject of Mr. Glbb's talk was 'The Soul of the War." The chairman of the meeting was a former fellow correspondent. Lieutenant Colonel Fred erick Palmer. Ho described the "miracle" of the first and second battles of the Marne, the British retreat from Mons, tho Somma battles, the great attack of the Germans In 1917 and his great surprise on coming on the Americans of the Sev enty-seventh Regiment In the historic forest of Crecy. In the tragic retreat of the British from Mons, said Mr. Glbbs, the men were so tired that they dropped asleep In their tracks. An officer went to a shop In the town, purchased some penny whistles and toy drums and distributed them ameng several sergeants, They played 'The British Grenadier," nnd at the sound or tho penny whistles and the toy drums the men bestirred themselves and followed the players back to battle That day two Scottish pipers kept at their pipes, though seriously wounded, and received the Victoria Cross for their bravery. Describing the American soldiers. Mr. Glbbs said: "It was good to see such men. Those fine upstanding lads with an erect look In their eyes, so different from the tired look of the men from whom I had Just come. And when I passed those Ameri If ..J.J cans and saw them facing Jhe front I thanked God. loiter I saw them at Amiens, and there they helped break the lllndenburg line, together with the Australians. They showed great dash on the first day they went In, and when they came back with their German pris oners our lads cried, 'Well done, Yanks 1' "When your men came It was the comlctlon through our army that with the help of tho Americans the tide would turn. It did turn, thanks to the genius of Marshal Koch, who flung up his reserves behind the British lines at a tlmo when wo were at our last gasp."
