DIVINE
ON AMERICA

LONDON, February 15.-Rev Regi-
nald J. Campbell, who has returned
from an extended visit to the United
States, in an address today said that
one could not fail to be impressed by
the mightiness of forces at work there
contrasted to those of the Old World
1t is this mightiness, he said, that
gives one confidence that the great
civilization struggling to birth will be
greater than history has yet had to
show
The people in America are general
ly much more hospitable than in Eng
land, and it is especially so in the
Western States" he said Il liked
best the quality of my audiences in
New England and on the Pacific Coast.
Mine years ago the black race gave
rise to the overshadowing problem of
American democracy. Now the yellow
race at least in the West, is causing
much more apprehension. One is also
confronted by the influx of heterogene-
Gus European elements. viii the mar
velous American public school system
I be equal to the occasion? viii the
body polite digest this mass of hui
mainly, or will it be itself digested?
Political corruption in America, in
my opinion, is due largely to the in.
rush of peoples from European coun
tries where true freedom is not under.

Assurance From Washington.
WASHINGTON, February 13.-Real-
izing the danger to American resi-
dents in Mexico from the circulation
of erroneous press dispatches, telling
of proposed Intervention on the part
of the United States, the State De-
partment today issued another circu-
lar to it's diplomatic and consular rep
.resentatives in Mexico denying all
foolish stories" about American in
tervention and expressing the good
will and sincerest friendship of the
United States Government for Mex
leo.
The American representatives in
Mexico have been instructed to cir
culate the note in the press and to
use every means to get the denial be-
fore the populace. In the note the
sincerest friendship for Mexico and
the Mexican people is expressed with
the hope that the blessings of peace
will soon return to them.
/ Reports to the State Department
during the day from Mexico indicated
that the situation in the south was
substantially the same, though in
Vera Cruz, Oaxaca and Michoacan
conditions probably were worse and
anti-American feeling seemed to have
arisen at San Luis Potosi.
