And then she said something like this to him: "Now, you told me you had never been in England and had never known an English person in your life, and yet you had all these ideas against us because somebody had taught you wrong.

It is not at all your fault.

You are only nineteen years old and you cannot read about us, because you have no chance; but at least you do know one English person now, and that English person begs you, when you do have a chance to read and inform yourself of the truth, to find out what England really has been, and what she has really done in this war." The end of the story is that the boy, who had become devoted to her, did as she suggested.

To-day she receives letters from him which show that nothing is left of his anti-English complex.

It is another instance of how clearly our native American mind, if only the facts are given it, thinks, judges, and concludes.
It is for those of my countrymen who will never have this chance, never meet some one who can "guide them to the facts", that I tell these things.
