GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
A short Essay on the National Character
by m Eng lishman.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: Your
too generous appreciation Of Great Brit
aims response to the call for national
service. In which. I am sure, you include
the magnificent share of tho Irish regi-
ments and people. calls for nothing in
the shape OF criticism. But there is a
little misunderstanding of national char
acter that may usefully be removed. The
apparent sleepness of our population Is
based upon one OF the most valuable
faculties OF the nation, implicit confidence
In the safe outworking of democratic
government. We are divided into parties,
OF course, just as you are in the United
States. But we believe in the Govern
ment Of the day, and patiently walt for
the orders that we know Will come when
need arises. This does not hinder or
lessen public discussion. But II does re-
duce carping and III Informed criticism OF
the Government, and prevents panlcky
cutlery for action
May I. without egotism. also claim that
among the people OF Great Britain and
Ireland there Is passion for fair play
that finds Its equal only among the
people Of tho United States, 50 far as !
have had opportunity to observe? And
while there is last word" possible to ne
said We are willing to walt for its as
s!stance In forming judgment. The fan
nelled fools" need no defence. II was
an unfortunate and unfair aspersion on
masses OF men who are as willing TO
prove themselves able to win or to take
beating on the battlefield a. they are
on the playing ground.
May I also claim that there Is the gen
erous instinct Of all true sportsmen walt
Ing TO heal the soreness and wounds or
defeat IN this awful conflict as soon as
peace can be secured? Between the
peoples OF the nations concerned there *
no more enmity than when they meet IN
the arena OF sport But they have been
forced into the struggle. partly by tho
failure Of diplomatists, but more directly
by the miltarism and armament monger-
ing OF Interested individuals. When the
end comes God grant Il may he soon ,
British and German. French and Aus
trian. Russian and all other civilized
peoples, will again ind the solid platform
OF humanity. Perhaps We may even md
that the war has drawn US closer In the
common sorrow and that We are stronger
than ever in determination, with the good
Offices and support OF your own gre At
peace loving republic, TO prevent su,a
world appalling calamities In future.
