Britain Shows Its Sympathy
Nation Seems to Forget Its Own Troubles in Thinking of Affliction of United States.
LONDON, Sept. 14.—Mid-September is at hand, but
all Britain seems thinking of the great affliction of the United States, rather
than of its own troubles and the prospect in south Africa, now that the Kitchener
proclamation goes into effect.
The display of sympathy with America today is
striking and affecting, while during the whole week the discussion in the press
showed not only sympathy but comprehension in the tone of comment on the President
of the American people.
This is an indication of the greatly increased
knowledge of the United States in England of recent years.
On the street and in the hotels today it was not
uncommon for English people to stop Americans, with an apology for speaking
unintroduced, to express sorrow at the great national calamity.
Some newspapers had circulars and bulletins out
this morning with black borders.
