WAR HAS RUNG THE KNELL OF ENGLAND
American Surgeon Returns from Europe Concinved That
Entente Will Fall to Pieces After Struggle Ends. Predicts
That Canada and Australia Will Divorce British Rule.
Rates Canadians, Germans and French As Best Fighters.
Blames Blood Politics of British Leaders As Cause of
Irish Rebellion.
Seattle, Wash.—''The English are a
decadent race, and the knell has
sounded for them as a great nation."
After ten months In the British field
hospilal service of Northern France.
Dr. Waldo Richardson, an American
surgeon, has Just returned here with
tthat firm conviction.
"1 went to Europe decidedly pro-
British." he declared, “hut I have come
hack virtually neutral.
"I saw enough at the front, In the
trenches and hospitals, to eradicate ev
ery favorable prejudice I had enter
tained for the English.
"As fighting men they have not lived
up to their traditions. In the hospitals
the woundedwounded have shown how
little resistance the Londoners have.
And as allies they have not won the
respect of the French.
"The entente, I am convinced, will
fall to pieces as soon as the war ends.
It is now merely a matter of form, not
of spirit. The French 1 am sure, will
express their opinion of the Insular
English In no complimentary terms
"And I believe, from all the evidence

“The Canadians have been openly
disdainful and even hostile to the Eng

enemies Instead of friends among the
allies.
"i’hysically, the insular Englishman
seems to have no stamina. The mor
tality rate among the. wounded was
extremely high in proportion to other
nationalities that came under my care
and observation.
“The colonial British, however, the
Canadians and Australians, are mag

cousins.
“For these men and the Scotch and
Irish 1 have nothing but admiration.
"Of all the warriors in Europe today
I should place the Canadians first and

many Irish regiments were sent to
slaughter as rear guards in the retreat
before the Germans. They were told
to hang on until orders to retire came.
Hut the orders never came.
“These are the things that changed
my pro-British sentiment during ten
months in the field and hospitals.”
Dr. Richardson was stationed for a
