ARCHBISHOP’S STORY.
The Archbishop of York, giving his experiences in U.S.A. at the London Mansion House, said that when the largest ship Vaterland was launched the German chairman of the company said genially to a United States naval officer. “I can put 10,000 men on board this ship, and some day I shall bring them across to the United States,” “Then” said the naval officer, “if you do I hope I may be there to meet them.” Within a short time that very naval officer put 10,000 American troops into the Vaterland and sent them across to fight the Germans, able defeat.
