Br Telegraph.—Press association Copyright.

Loudon, October 9.

The Bishop of Loudon, preaching at St. Margaret’s, Westminster, in the presence of the American Legionaries, said that he had been assured that school children in America were not taught to love Britain as they should. On the contrary, they were taught to hate her. This must be altered, because it was very serious both from the British and American viewpoint. “I believe the whole future of the world depends on Britain and America keeping together in bonds of love and fellowship and understanding. My prayer is that nothing will ever dim the understanding, trust, and love manifested when the American Army representatives were welcomed at St. Paul’s when they entered the war.” No American need think because Britain for the purposes of the protection of her trade routes needed a number of cruisers she wanted to dominate the world. The suggestion that America wanted to swallow up Canada was equally ridiculous.—A.P.A. and "Sun.”

AMERICAN LEGION’S MOVEMENTS ' Rugby, October 9.

A special service for members of the American Legion visiting London was held at St. Margaret’s Westminster, this morning, the Bishop of London giving an address. This afternoon the visitors were entertained by Lord Beatty at his Surrey house. To-mor-row morning they will be received by the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace, and will attend a luncheon given by the Lord Mayor at the Guildhall. Yesterday most of them visited not only some of the Oxford colleges but also Stratford-on-Avon.

The legionaries will leave Southampton on Tuesday for New York. —British Official Wireless.

TRIBUTE TO BRITISH FIDELITY Rugby, October 8. In reply to Mr. Baldwin’s speech at 1 the Goveritnent’s dinner to the American Legionaries, Mr. Howard Savage, national commander of the American Legion, expressed pride in paying a tribute to a nation which knew to the bitter dregs the terrible price of pledging her honour. But for British fidelity 'of purpose and tenacity in the dark days of 1914 and 1916, the Americans might never' hace had the honour of playing a part in the destruction of autocratic conquest and the preservation of democratic principles.—British Official Wireless. PILGRIMAGE OF BRITISH LEGION London, October 9. Earl Haig urges the representatives of ex-servicemen all over the Empire to participate in the pilgrimage which the British legion is planning to French battlefields in 1928. A number of widows and relatives of the fallen will be invited.—Sydney “Sun” Cable.
