to keep him back. While running
with the soldiers, holding his bugle in

the bugle fell. The boy Immediately
lifted it up with his left hand and re-
lpeated the call. He was brought to

What Will America Do P


What Will America Dor
LONDON, Feb. -CAfternoon Ser
yice.)-Mr. H. w. Massingham. former
ly the editor of the Chronicle writes as
follows to the Morning Leader, under
the heading:
What VIII America Do?'
"A new world power has arisen-tne
great American people
President Mckinley and Secretary
of State Hay share, believe, the opin-
ion of the minority of Englishmen that
the war in South Africa is an error
and crime, But they remember that.
thanks to the pressure from below the
British Government, the English Gov
eminent was benevolently neutral in
the Spanish war. Therefore, so far as
public opinion will allow them, they
would like to sail on an even keel in
South Africa. But, as they well know,
behind them lies a mighty and, as they
will know, an ungovernable force, ex-
pressing itself with absolute freedom,
forcing its will on party messengers
knocking imperatively at the doors OF
the President.
Because a few American ladies who
had married or fought their way into
English society started hospital ship
1t was imagined that American sym
pathies were with British power.
Nothing can be more unfortunate than
any political action that comes from
such quarters and is blessed by such
negligible persons as Smalley, a New
York correspondent.
America is not pro-English ana
| never will be in the sense that our
| sentimental imperialists desire.
America is profoundly attached to
