(;; ['?*(?:''' PORT?F ?TOR SMITH DUTCHMAN GOWil?S~ ?I BBI1H?PTII8M Wai Mach Impressed With Feel ing of Self-Confidence in England. - _____ Amsterdam, Dec. 23.-Thc "stro-g sense of power and of self confidence that seems to bc tho very atmosp'aore of England,'' is commenced upon by Dr. Hans Vorst, a professedly neutral correspondent, In recounting 'als impressions on a recent visit to Eug and to the Berliner'Tageblatt. He begins his artclo by tolling of meet ing a Russian government official In London, who, ; ofter a rather despon dent review of the operations on thc Russian front said: "At any rate, ono feels quito at ease and heartened again after a few days lu London." This statement Interested Dr. Vorst. Ho decided to make a closer investigation of tho Russian's -re mark, abd found that ho iilmself soon succumbed' to tile sense of London's might. lu his words, ho came under tho spell of London's "silent d?mon stration of solid wealth, <iulct strength and established power.' Speaking of. life in London, Dr. Vorst tells tbt/ people of Berlin that ?o found London- has changed llttlo during the war beyond the xlarken Ing of Its streets. Nowhere in the warring capitals has street traffic suffered so little. In Berlin, and Paris, m o tor ?ibu nos have disappeared. But in London, even those that wore sent over to. Prance in the beginning of the war have boon replaced. Paris's ?iotela have reduced their prices to a war scale:. But no mich conces sion bas been made in London. Fur thermore, the otages of London are as resplendent as ever, evening dresB ia common in tho boxes and orches tra chairs, except for officers in uni form, and the restaurants have lost none of their elegance. Conversations with Engllsfaimen, continued the writer, show that tho English themselves are dominated ny a sense.of conscious pow?r. "This impression grows," he adds, "the more one talks with .Bnglls'a men. The ?hysterical behavior of certain English newspapers does not seem to mo to reflect the nation's feelings lb any way. On t?e con trary, I have always noticed a totally calm and objective attitude toward tho wholo businesa; for extravagant excitement ls not a part of the na tional character. So from my own experiences l ani Inclined to consider these las?r peuce speeches in tile house of lords* aa a 'sign of tils 'conscious power. The li n gi i.s .i People Gtlll leolsitself atrcag ono ti nu for- onyirans,-?_? ts ;_OT5^. quently not afraid' to have such Speeches exploited as signs of weak ness, ospecially when they are an ex pression of what all nations without exception want -at the bottom of their breasts-peace. " The VTorHt Tlilng'.for Good Rends. "Perhaps the worst thing which could happen 40 th?.'caus? of good roada," says Farra- : and Fireside, "would be the building of all those now needed, with ,no provision tor keeping them up after their comple tion. . No-.'permanent' road ls perma nent In the sense of not needing re pairs and upkeep.: We have shown In these .columns that a conreto road way 16 feet wide can be kept In con dition ;for. twenty years or more by the expenditure of from $25 to $36 per mlle a year.
