Old Bias Was at Fault

The Hon. John William Fortescue.
president Of the Royal Historical So

yesterday that he had written chastity"
when he stated that Americans are
mot good sports and resort to foul
play" in volume dealing with the
wars Of the French Revolution and
Empire, published in England in 191f.
During an interview at the home of
Francis Rogers, 144 East Sixry-second
Street, he declared that he had come
to love Americans and to regret refer
ences he had made rejecting on their
character.
Mr.. Fortescue declined to make any
extended comment on the fact that
Secretary of War Weeks had ordered
the invitation withdrawn inviting him
to speak at West Point yesterday. He
said that the Secretary Of War had
ignored him and that he had notaing
to say in reply.
"The passage quoted against me is
taken from volume Of lectures en-
titled british Statesmen of the Great
War;" published in 1911" he added.
cat that time, of course, che war
described was that of the French Rev
1893 to 1915. When | wrote the pas
sage there was fresh in my mind an
incident in the Behring Sea negotia-
tion and an unfortunate lapse in good
sportsmanship on the part of an Amer
ican competitor in some international
sporting event held in England.
"All this is now ancient history.
Since that time America and England
have fought side by side in another
great war, which brought many Ameri-
cans to England, and / was fortunate
enough to make number of friends
among Them. For weeks and months
we haa from four to six young Ameri-
can officers staying with US In our
home, and we formed an endearing and
lasting friendship with them.
II remember one of them, in reading
my lectures, came across this very
passage and resented it. lie told me to
visit America and he said it would
change my opinion. So here I am, and
every moment I have spent In this
country | have regretted that should
have committed SO. harsh a judgment
TO print eleven years ago."
When Mr.. Fortescue was asked to
specify the instance of bad faith in the
Bering Sea negotiations he said that
to the best Of his recollection it had to
do with the alteration of document
which was detected by the British For
eign Office in 1907 or 1908.
He was unable to recall the event
which had caused him to form such
bad opinion Of American sportsman

deal of discussion of the affair at the
