HAS CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA English Writer Satisfied That Coun try's Spirit Is Undefeated and Undefeatable. The Soundness nt core of the modern man has bud one long triumphant dem onstration. Take that wonderful little story of a certain British superintend ent of the pumping station at some nil wells In Mesopotamia. A valve ill the oil pipe had split and n fountain of oil was being thrown up mi all sides; while thirty yards oft mid noth ing between, the furnaces were In full blast. To prevent n terrible conflagration and great loss of life, and save the oil wells, It was necessary to turn off the furnaces. The superintendent, without u moment's hesitation, sprang through the oil spray, turned off the furnaces, and (lied. Modern man has been dninji things like that all through this war. We Britons are un Insular people, Ignorant, for the most part, of any thing outside our own empire; and It has struck me as u rather wonderful tribute to America that one could go the length of lirltuln und find Hardly a creature who was not confident that Americans will display the same en durance, bravery und unselfishness that we have seen displayed by our own men all these yours. Instinctive ly, we know und feel It. There Is something proud In Ameri cans as in ourselves, something unde feated and undefeatable. It comes of our common cult of freedom ami of the Individual conscience, and In both our countries Is a growing, not a withering, quality. John Galsworthy In Harper's Magazine.
