MUCH AMERICAN
coin IN ENGLAND
PROSPERITY OF THE U. S. is
HELPING TO MAKE GOOD
TIMES IN FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.

The people I'm England, particularly
those living In the mining districts i'm
the vicinity of Cornwall, are being
greatly benefited by the prosperity i'm
America, according TO the observa-
tions of John Penglasc and Captain
Alfred. of Ishpeming, who have arr
rived home from visit TO their ma
tive land.
Mr.. Penglase was ten years of age
when he left England, but Messrs
Collick and Thomas were older when
they came to America II was the
second time that Mr.. Penglase had
been back since he left there forty
six years ago, his previous trip nav
ing been made about twenty-five
years ago.
Speaking of the industrial condi-
tions In the mining regions of Eng
land, Mr.. Penglase stated that he did
not believe the people of England have
ever been more prosperous. There is
plenty of work for all classes, and be-
sides great deal of money is being
received from relatives who are now
located in America, South Africa and
other foreign countries. While there
he talked with one of the bankers and
was advised that great deal of mon
ey that the working classes Of Eng
land have deposited I'm the banks has
come from foreign countries, partic-
ularly America and South Africa.
Thousands of men from the mining
regions of Cornwall are located in
America and South Africa and many
of them are doing exceptionally we'll
The banker also stated that there
never has been a time in his recol-
lection when so much money has
been received by the old folks at home
from sons and other relatives i'm the
United States as has been coming in
the past few years. The banker COM
mented on the fact that the working
great prosperity He said the banks
in England now have greater reserve
deposits from the working classes
than ever before i'm their hi y.
Mr.. Penglase said that WI the
working classes of the Cornwe, lis
tricts are receiving better pay than
for some years past, their wages do
not compare with the wages i'm this
country He found no indications Of
poverty anywhere. The Ishpeming
people visited their birthplaces and
met a great many old friends. and
also many who had been in the Lake
Superior country. The Ishpeming
men visited every important point in
England, also several of tne other for
eign countries
They were well pleased to find the
stars and stripes greatly in evidence
i'm England. Mr. Penglase said the
American emblem could be seen flying
from many of the buildings and es-
pecially hotels where American tour
lists were making their headquarters.
A great many Americans are touring
England this year in automobiles, all
of them displaying the American flag.
