T.ONDON, Jan. 11—The Dally Tel

the adventurous career of the late
Willlam F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), took
‘occasion to point out the mistaken
fdea that most Englishmen hold
about the United States. It says, In
‘pnrt:
“The Wild West existe no more. It
has been swallowed up In the United
States of which we talk so glibly, but
of which not one Englishman in a
thousand has any conception, The
States form, In fact, not a natiop, but
a group of nations, each one molded
by a separate and distinct experience.
Buffalo Bill was an American first
and last, and all through his life, but
the America of his day has already
passed.”
