• YANKEE TROOPS INSPIRE HOPE IN GREATBRITAIN ►, fiTimes Correspondent Views Coming as Great Event in World History )Mdon. —"I had the good fortune at & station on one of our main rail ways a day or two ago to see a por ,tion of those American legions who are now rushing across the Atlantic to our aid, and it may be worth while to record the feeling they groused in one who, as it happened, saw them for the first time," writes 1 §. correspondent to the Times. 'lt ■jjris," he continued, "a striking and gjjheartening sight. Here were these te-ave fellows, whose average age hmed to be about 25, men from Kw Jersey, from Tennessee, and iptxas, beyond the Mississippi s roll- Ac flood, from California and the Wuciflc seaboard, who had traveled Jiany thousands of miles by lana and sea from their far-distant homes —which some would never see again—full of vigor and elan, mus cular and well set up. alert and in telligent, like a band of hardy ath letes, eager only to reach the neia of battle in Flanders or in i rartce. As material for a powerful army, they seemed to lack nothing- Tne> had Just landed from the ships that brought them across the Atlan tic within a few hours; but no resi, no pause; they seemed to grudge every moment that delayed th from the great task on which their hearts were set. Seventeen trains, containing 600 or 700 men apiece, were to pass at 6tated intervals dur ing the day and night; and this was enly a portion of those who had ar rived. 'We ought,' said one of the gallant fellows, 'to have been here two years ago; but here we are no , and thousands more are following us.' 'We mean business, said an other; 'we are out to win. One felt one was standing in the presence of one of the great achievements of history. Xerxes is renowned Be cause he led his Persian hordes across the Hellespont to the attacK of Greece. . Hannibal is handed down to fame because he led his Carthaginian levies across the heights of Mount Cenis, and reached the gates of Rome. Caesar himself is held to have done great things when he in vaded the shores of Inhospitable Britain, but what were these things to the transport of millions of men. first long distances by land, and then 3,000 miles across the severing ocean, in spite of submarines, to be trained and fitted for the great en counter? As one of the men from Texas said, who was loud in his admiration of our green fields and refreshing showers and well-laid trees, 'Three years ago it would have seemed impossible that this could happen. We had no army, no thought of war, least of all a Euro pean war.' li is indeed a colossal achievement, and the spirit in which they are undertaking It is as great as is the deed. They have come with no selfish aim or object; not for them the dreiam of annexing this or that; they are come to fight for a great ideal, to battle for the peace and freedom of the world, and as one gazed at their eager faces one felt that America had gained tier soul, and was showing by her exam ple, how souls are won. The age of chivalry, after all, is not passed, and here were men all glowing with a fine emotion, engaged in a great em prise as striking as, and far more useful than, that of the old Cru-1 saders 800 years ago. Yes, it was indeed > a striking sight—not a drunken man to be seen—and as th%y filed down the platform t6 re ceive the passing benediction of a sandwich and a cup of coffee, one could not help wishing that the Kai ser could be there, and there would be no more of his cheap sneers at the forces of America. In the face of such a sight one could not doubt on which side victory would incline. When the Archbishop of York en tered on his mission to the United States a short time ago, he chose as the text of his first sermon," And they beckoned to their partners in the other ship that they should come and help them, and they came." Yes, they came, and they are coming —brethren now for ever, in a brotherhood whose ties are sealed and ratified by common efforts for a common end.
