the -Yanks" he has adopted.
The thing which White refused to
give is the very thing America would
like to know. It is said he has spent
500 shillings personally on the enter
tainment Of soldiers where the min
istry OF Information has spent a sin
gle shilling. The Importance OF weld
ing the two nations together in the
war through the individual personal
touch has only Of late been recog-
nized, and official channels which deal
with the problem have no funds for
the purpose.
The story is told in London that
ceELain campaign Of entertainment to
cost 100000 was troublin~ its Off
cial sponsors. The department in
question did not have the money.
White looked over the plans with the
remark that the money question
could be considered settled.

Himself Godfather OF The Americans

7 ONDON. Eng. Oct. 1s-"Americs
Il and England belong together; the
Anglo-Saxon race is one. We are
either going TO win and continue our
place as a great race or lose and be
wiped out"
This is the explanation Of one lone
Englishman's reason for spending
hundreds Of thousands of dollars in
making England a second home for
hundreds Of thousands Of American
soldiers.
The man is James White. who might
be occupying a desk in lower New
York or IN LaSalle street, by the
looks OF him. He is what we would
know as a self made man, who came
from the north country and hewed
his way to millions and power by the
alert mind, coneiseness and quickness
Of decisions and assurance of manner
which are evident in his every move
ment-
1T has taken America a long time
to see that England and America are
one in interests. in language, in be-
liefs, in everything" he said. There
is no difference. We are all the same
people.
Apart, we could be wiped out. To-
gether we shall win. And we must
stay together.
There is nothing about what I
have tried to do for the American sol
diers that is different from what has
been done before for our own men.

CONCRESSMEN HAD ID TALK ON WAR
IRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

MILAN, Feb. 3.-The Italian parlia- mentary union today captured" Cap- tain Fiorella N. La Guardia, repre- sentative to congress from New York. who was on his way to the American headquarters in France and had him speak at a monster mass meeting here. His auditors, numbering many thou sands of persons, included senators, deputies and members of patriotic as- sociations, who vociferously declared themselves in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war. Premier Or lando was to have spoken, but was unable to do so owing to his attend ance upon the war conference in Paris.
 MT. La Guardia electrified his aud fence, which burst into cheering when in his opening remarks he declared that the United States had entered the war to finish it, not 70 proiong it.' The speaker carefully explained Presi- dent Wilson's peace aims and outlined the purposes of the United States in the war and what the country had done since the beginning of the con- flict.
