ENGLAND PREFERS

Rather Its Big Men Do,
Says PerSifor Frazer, Jr.,
Back From Abroad
ENGLISH SONG ABOUT
TOO PROUD TO FIGHT

Persifor Frazier, Jr., who has Just
come back from London where he
went on business for the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Corporation. Of which
he is vice-president. said today that
the really important men in England
do not want the United States to get
involved in the war.
''The people who do not think par
ticularly on all that is involved" he
said, "and of course this includes
the majority in England as in all
other countries, would like to see
United States fighting on their side
Because we have remained neutral
they think we are sort of vacillating
that President Wilson is too patient
and long suffering They don't ex-
actly say that We're afraid to fight
but they sing and listen to such songs
rs Too Proud to Fight
"The big men though, the men al
the helm, would rather see us stay
out of it. They don't need our meu
or our ships or our money, for the
allies have plenty of all those things
and with US in our present state they
stand more chance to get all the
munitions they want to buy than il
they had us as an ally where we
might want the munitions ourselves.
Mr.. Frazer said. however, that even
II things came to the point where
this Government became involved
private corporations. such as the
Bethlehem Steel Company and tho
duPonts would go right on filling
their contracts, and the United State;
Government would get its materials
through its arsenals.
Mr.. Frazer came home on the Phil
adelphia, of the American line, and
he said there were on that ship about
200 young Englishmen and Irishmer
who were coming over here to escape
conscription, which they fear will
follow the enforcement of the regis
tration act. They all appeared ts
be men of good families and men o.
fairly good means.

BOSTON, Aug. 25.-Interest is
higher in the governors conference,
held in this city, than it has been at
any of the previous gatherings Of the
State executives. One of the chief
reasons for this is the state of inter
national relations and the fact that
the relations of the States to national
preparedness against war is prin-
cipal topic. The interest of the State
officials in the military and naval de-
fenses of the Union win be increased
by several features of the conference.
The city extended itself in hospitali-

AS the public knows, the life of a
nurse is devoted principally TO duty
with little time for recreation or
