Willing to Be Taught.

“Diarist” of the Westminster Gazette says he had been hearing much lately of the Americans in France and the impression made by them upon the British there. “Without giving offense to anybody," he remarks, “I hope I may say that British admiration of them has gone far beyond the limits that were considered likely to be reached, and that they have become strong favorites. But there is one point in particular which seems to have Impressed every officer who talks £0 me on the subject. They all quite expected to find the Americans fine men physically, with plenty of intelligence and their full share of courage and dash and endurance; but they agree that they have been surprised to note the eagerness of the new allies to seek' advice. ‘You have been at this game for years,’ is, I am told, the uEsual formula; ‘but we are tresh at it. Tell us what you know.’ It is an admirable frame of “Diarist,” “and one that promises rapid progress on the part of the willing students.”—Christian Science Monitor.
