The feeling in America is wonderful. The young men we flocking to tho colours, and it is surprising how few of them desire to evade service. Of course, there arc people in tliq States who do not think that they should be called upon to fight in Europe. Senator La Follotte leads this critical faction. He says he is loyal as any man, but reckons that his country had no call to enter the bloody lists. This senator has not a largo following.
