I still believe in the power and the ancient charm of noble
words. I do not think that Giolitti and the stockbrokers will keep old
Rome off the old roads where the legions went.
Postscript
While this volume was passing through the press, Mr. Ralph Shirley,
the Editor of "The Occult Review" callled my attention to an article
that is appearing in the August issue of his magazine, and was kind
enough to let me see the advance proof sheets.
The article is called "The Angelic Leaders" It is written by Miss
Phyllis Campbell. I have read it with great care.
Miss Campbell says that she was in France when the war broke out. She
became a nurse, and while she was nursing the wounded she was informed
that an English soldier wanted a "holy picture." She went to the man
and found him to be a Lancashire Fusilier. He said that he was a
Wesleyan Methodist, and asked "for a picture or medal (he didn't care
which) of St. George... because he had seen him on a white horse,
leading the British at Vitry-le-Francois, when the Allies turned"
This statement was corroborated by a wounded R.
