SURPRISED At
MODESTY OF U. S,
CBv Associated Press

LONDON, Sept 24.--One English
man writes from Kansas City to a
Londan newspaper to express his sur
prise because Americans are not
boasting over the achievements OF the
American soldiers in the war.
Before the Americans began to fight
he was much impressed by evidences
OF great enthusiasm for the war and
little realization Of the sacrifices in
volved.
~ wonder what would happen when
the Americans had their first big af-
fair" he writes. II anticipated an
unprecedented burst Of patriotism
which would probably exaggerate
what had been accomplished by the
American troops.
The German drive started, and the
reports came In Of the way the boys
had held the line and stood firm, and,
In fact had done all that their home
folks had expected of them. There
seemed to be an ominous calm when
the news arrived. l began to look for
the uproar, for the enthusiasm which
my previous experience had led me to
expect
Now the enigma. The calm con-
tinued. One man said, We're getting
lot Of credit. | wonder 1t it's true
Women. whom l had heard again and
again making remarks to the effect
that the boys would show them how
to fight" were absolutely subdued
Not a single boastful expression have
] heard. On all sides people are wear
Ing a quiet smile. The external en-
thusiasm seems to have vanished
right into their hearts, and today the
United States Is realizing with quiet
pride the seriousness and tremendous
possibilities Of the cause it has under
taken.
when I read in dispatches from
England of the impression the Ameri-
cans were making by their modesty
and their quiet way of accomplishing
thengs, ! was inclined to be skeptical.
! am no longer skeptical. The past
few weeks Of the war seem to have
changed everything, and l now know
more of the United States as a nation
than | could have learned had lived
here for thirty years of peace-time."

A few days ago Sapho was taken to
