AN ENGLISH SENTIMENT

The following editorial from the
London Times gives an insight into
the view and attitude of English
people toward the American soldier
on English soil:
There is no 'Blighty" for the
American soldier on leave from the
front or recovering from wounds or
sickness. England's strength has
been in her ten days leave at home.
But what will the Americans do?
Have we thought about 1t yet?
When Sammy comes to US. either
as warrior eager for the fray or
as tired or broken man seeking
rest, he does not come home to the
one place in all the world where
peace holds its place and human love
sheds a radiance which floods the
heart with supreme joy.
Britain's sons from over seas, of
course, "come home" But for the
American soldier it is. and remains,
we regret to say. strange country,
despite the fact that there is hard
ly a town, village, or hamlet in
all the country from which his faith
er or his fathers father did not
come. He enters it. maybe, with
some family tradition ringing in his
ears and stirring the blood within
him, which tells how in the days
gone by some ancestors Of his left

tank service, and certainly none cal
culated to test the nerves more, for
within the very small fighting space
there is combined the roar Of the
heavy ordnance, the rattle OF the
machine guns, the acid smell OF
burning powder, and the suffocating
fumes of burning oil and gasoline.
Into this little space, not more than
eight feet long, and four or five feet
wide and with a ceiling so low tnat
man cannot stand upright, there Is
crowded the crew.
The actual experiences of the Brit
ish instructors, many OF whom were
in the first tanks used In the war;
have been reproduced In the most
minute detail for the instruction OF
the Americans. Little has been left
to the Imagination; the practical has
been substituted for the theoretical.
Huge shell holes, not dug ouc with
pick and shovel but blasted by mines
as though by the German shells,
have torn up the training field;
trenches identical with those that
mark the battleflelds of France and
other obstructions that tanks en-
counter have been built and 1t Is
over these that the Americans have
been drilled and drilled until In the
opinion OF their instructors, they are
prepared to take their place on the
line.
Practical problems Of getting out

and in anticipation of some OF the
predicaments that may be enconn-

zance work has been given. Strenu-
Gus work In target practice has been

only experience not yet undergone
by the Americans is the pounding of
the German fire.
