I do not think Europe understands with any clearness of vision the mixture of races in the United States. I asked a British official who had lately come here what line he thought would be effective for a speech at a recruiting rally here. He said, "I always talk about the union of the Anglo-Saxon nations.

I look down an other list of conscripted soldiers and ask myself what must be thought of this delusion by Pietro Bourczak, Jacob Roekopky, Fio Mangone, Carl Eilenang, and kai Hirokiaki. They would prob Ebly
inquire hat Anglo-Saxon meant. The holding of so many of the chief posts in the Government of the United States by men who bear English or Boot- tish

to keep 'up the false impression in England, and I funcy in France also, that the bulk of the people of the United States are descen- dants of British settlers
