NERIGA ARDUSED, SOUL IN THE WAR } + Jontch Clergyman Reports on | Observations in This Country W New York, Aug. 12.—After travel- Ing more than 20,000 miles and deliv- pring oné hundred and ninetesn ad- dregses in every part of the United (States, Sir George Adam Smith, the Seottish clergyman who has been 4 [making & speaking tour of the coun- i 'try under the auspices of the Nation- al Committee on the Churches and the Moral Aims of the War, reported to thé Bureau of Information of the British War Mission today that the ¥ American people everywhere are fully sroused and heart and soul in ‘the war “From a very wide experience in parts of the country and among 211 ses, says Sir George, “I am sure the conseience, the heart, the will 4nd all the boundless energies of the United States are thoroughly and intellizently enlisted in the war. This is as true of the mere German cen- ters as of the rest of the country. I had nowhere a more cordial recep- < tion for my message than in St. Louis, Cincinnati and Milwaukee and among men with Gérman names. My chair- n and other speakers were fre- Quently men of German deséent.” Sir orge came to America last March 'The mission with which I was ¢harged,” says Sir George, “was two- fold; to enforce the moral aims com- mon to the Allies and to tell the part v h Great Britain has taken in the war I found everywhere an enthusias- © response to these sentiments and uments. I know that the Ameri- can people are convinced of the jus- tice of our common cause and reso- lute to carry it through on these mor- 'al issues which Germany has forced on the world. ‘Y found a gaod deal of ignorance of the scale on which Great Britain had been fighting and supporting the war and naturally of the details of our warfare. Most Americans had failed to value the many fronts—on thres Continents—on which our arm- ies have been engaged; the vast num- bers of eur armies which were raised betore conscription was established: or the extent of our sacrifices. I sup- plied them with coneise information on 'sach of these subjects. Many aud- ces were amazed at the facts I gave them; and it would have been well worth coming to America for this purpose alone.” DECLARES POPE WILL ‘ RETURN TO POWER Fyangelist Dana Says Prophecy Reveals Pontiff Will Resume His Ancient Aunthority.
