Rev. William Wilkinson, a native of
Minnesota, writing from Huddersfield,
England. to the St Paul Pioneer Press
under date Of Jan. 10 about his ID
servations In England,
Il have been i'll many parts OF Eng
and in the two months last past. The
war spirit is in the air. AT every rail
wa station there are soldiers aud
their friends, who assemble in crowds
to say goodby, and as the time ZONES
for the departure of the trains which
are to carry the soldier to his quarters
before he lea for South Africa some
of the scenes are very affecting. Moth
ing is more comnio han to see young
women weeping as X their hearts
would break as the soldiers leave, and
it is noticeable that in the midst Of it
all. when opportunity of questioning
even these people is given, they one
and all say: 1t must be. Soldiers must
go. 1t is the country's need. and we
want our sons or brothers to be brave
ut is not alone the som Of the poor,
the working classes, who are going.
The most remarkable thing is the way
men In high places, sons OF mobiles and
aristocrats and professional men, are
Offering themselves by thousands. The
queens son Is known to be panied be-
aus not allowed to GO. Thirty MEM
bers of the house Of are gon
also the sops of law lords. editors and
literary men, The chief Of the Royal
College OF Surgeons. a man of national
fame. is at the front. The lord mayor
Of London has raised a crack regi-
ment' OF 1000 men. Forty thousand
men wanted to serve in 1t. 1t Is said.
The men accepted are the very flower
Of England's ions. tall and without de
feet Every man Is well equipped.
They had such q send of from Lon
don as has not been given to any sol
diers since the Russian war. A ban
quet was given in their honor at which
the most lordly Of Engiand-s judges
the most famous Of her barristers, were
proud To be walters. AT a great service
"a St PaUf's cathedral the crowds
could not find room. a the singing OF
% God of Bethel viii never be for
gotten.
Here there is a peace at any price
party. Insignificant IN numbers and
small In influence. Nearly all feel that
the government did not know. as II
ought to have known, what the Beers
were doing in the recent past to pre-
pare for war. OF 10Y well they were
prepared. but a spirit OF criticism is
not that of the hour All feel that the
government must be supported at any
cost Il that the war must and viii
end in victory for the British arms
The fortitude Of England Is seen in the
way IL receives disastrous news Never
for an instant Is a thought Of change of
policy expressed No word savoring Of
retreat i beard Onward. More mon
ey, Mere men, Mistakes rectifedr is
the teatcL gosi.
