AMERICAN PUBLIC'S ATTITUDE.
SYDNEY, July 28
Bishop Hoss, of the American Methodist Episcopal Church, arrived Iby the Ventura. Referring to America's attitude to the war, he said -that 95 per cent, of Americans sympathised with the Allies, and 75 per cent, were enthusiastic. President Wilson was a courageous man, without storm or bluster. He talked straight, and meant what ho said, and would stand by it. America's position was delicate. President Wilson was wisely endeavouring to use every possible means to avoid hostilities. The great body of the people.know enough of war to wholesomely dread it, but if the issuo ultimately was that the honour of America was at stake, there would not be a minute's hesitation. If the call were made 1,000,000 men would rally to the colours in a day.
