KINDLY ENGLISH SENTIMENTS
The Pal Mall Gazette said last evening: 'sTo-
day when England and America stand as mourn
ers beside one grave we may venture to hope
that the bitter memories and dividing anilnOsi-
ties engendered by the Revolutionary war are
finally passed away; and suggests that England
and America shall endeavOr to arrange some
kind of an informal union for the prevention of
internecine strife. If an European concert, de-
spite almost insurmountable difficulties is re-
cogniZed as political necessity why should
there not be an Anglo-Amercan concert wide
enough to include in one fatherland all English
speaking men?"
