Special Correspondence The st. Paul Globe.
LONDON, Aug live don't heear
any more about the proposed visit Of
the Prince of Wales to America next
year in the interest of the Anglo-Amer-
lean league. 1t is hardly time yet to
hear anything more definite, and unless
''society' in New York makes more Of
a demonstration over 1t we shall prob
ably hear no more about it.
As a matter of fact, the statement
went out here merely to give more Of
on impetus in America to the aims OF
this TOmphool league. What it amounts
TO IN America is not known here as
yet, for the little coterie in New York
promoting it are keeping comparative
ly quiet
Not so with the great w. T. Stead,
however. Mr.. Stead has suddenly
changed front with the rest, and is
heels over head In the English scramble
for American friendship. We Ameri-
cans have much TO thank Mr.. Stead for,
as a Perusal of his criticisms Of Amer
lean institutions will convince the most
skeptical person. The way Mr.. Stead
has lashed about everything American
makes his present rawlings over US quite
picturesque. But it only goes to show
how completely has this sudden appre-
citation of America taken hold Of the
English mind The newspapers still
sing hopefully of the AngloAmerican
understanding" and even that choice
bird Of paradise In the newspaper
world, the Spectator, refers to 1t con-
fidently as though It were an accom-
iplished fact. f-+a
Here is a circular with Mr.. Stead's
name attached, together with the form
