# The Art of War (Giles)/The Attack by Fire

XII The Attack by Fire
1. Sun Tzu said: There are five ways of attacking with fire. The first is to burn soldiers in their camp; the second is to burn stores; the third is to burn baggage trains; the fourth is to burn arsenals and magazines; the fifth is to hurl dropping fire amongst the enemy.
2. In order to carry out an attack, we must have means available. The material for raising fire should always be kept in readiness.
3. There is a proper season for making attacks with fire, and special days for starting a conflagration.
4. The proper season is when the weather is very dry; the special days are those when the moon is in the constellations of the Sieve, the Wall, the Wing or the Cross-bar; for these four are all days of rising wind.
5. In attacking with fire, one should be prepared to meet five possible developments:
6. (1) When fire breaks out inside to enemy’s camp, respond at once with an attack from without.
7. (2) If there is an outbreak of fire, but the enemy’s soldiers remain quiet, bide your time and do not attack. ​
8. (3) When the force of the flames has reached its height, follow it up with an attack, if that is practicable; if not, stay where you are.
9. (4) If it is possible to make an assault with fire from without, do not wait for it to break out within, but deliver your attack at a favorable moment.
10. (5) When you start a fire, be to windward of it. Do not attack from the leeward.
11. A wind that rises in the daytime lasts long, but a night breeze soon falls.
12. In every army, the five developments connected with fire must be known, the movements of the stars calculated, and a watch kept for the proper days.
13. Hence those who use fire as an aid to the attack show intelligence; those who use water as an aid to the attack gain an accession of strength.
14. By means of water, an enemy may be intercepted, but not robbed of all his belongings.
15. Unhappy is the fate of one who tries to win his battles and succeed in his attacks without cultivating the spirit of enterprise; for the result is waste of time and general stagnation. ​
16. Hence the saying: The enlightened ruler lays his plans well ahead; the good general cultivates his resources.
17. Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical.
18. No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique.
19. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are.
20. Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.
21. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.
22. Hence the enlightened ruler is heedful and the good general full of caution. This is the way to keep a country at peace and an army intact.

ON TRANSLATING THE DIVINA COMMEDIA.
SECOND SONNET.
I enter, and see thee in the gloom Of the long aisles, O poet saturnine! And strive to make my steps keep pace with thine. The air is filled with some unknown perfume; The congregation of the dead make room For thee to pass; the votive tapers shine; Like rooks that haunt Ravenna's groves of pine The hovering echoes fly from tomb to tomb. From the confessionals I hear arise Rehearsals of forgotten tragedies, And lamentations from the crypts below; And then a voice celestial that begins With the pathetic words, "Although your sins As scarlet be," and ends with "as the snow."

RELEASED.
Alittle low-ceiled room. Four walls Whose blank shut out all else of life, And crowded close within their bound A world of pain, and toil, and strife.
Her world. Scarce furthermore she knew Of God's great globe, that wondrously Outrolls a glory of green earth, And frames it with the restless sea.
Four closer walls of common pine: And therein lieth, cold and still, The weary flesh that long hath borne Its patient mystery of ill.
Regardless now of work to do; No queen more careless in her state; Hands crossed in their unbroken calm; For other hands the work may wait.
Put by her implements of toil; Put by each coarse, intrusive sign; She made a Sabbath when she died, And round her breathes a Rest Divine.
Put by, at last, beneath the lid, The exempted hands, the tranquil face; Uplift her in her dreamless sleep, And bear her gently from the place.
Oft she hath gazed, with wistful eyes, Out from that threshold on the night; The narrow bourn she crosseth now; She standeth in the Eternal Light.
Oft she hath pressed, with aching feet, Those broken steps that reach the door; Henceforth with angels she shall tread Heaven's golden stair forevermore!

# The Black Velvet Band

Lyrics In a neat little town they call Belfast Apprenticed in trade I was bound And many an hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town Then bad misfortune came o'er me That caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations To follow the black velvet band
As I was out strolling one evening Not intending to stay very long I met a handsome young damsel As she came tripping along A gold watch she took from a pocket And slipped it right into my hand On the very first night that I met her Bad luck to the black velvet band.
(Chorus): Her eyes, they shone like the diamond You'd think she was queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulder Tied up in a black velvet band
Before judge and jury next morning The both of us had to appear A gentleman said 'twas his jewellery And the case against us was clear For seven long years transportation I was sent off to Van Diemen's Land Far away from my friends and relations To follow this black velvet band
So come all you jolly young fellows I'll have you take warning by me Whenever you're out on the liquor me lads Beware of the pretty Colleen She'll fill you with whiskey and porter Until you're not able to stand And the very next thing you'd know, me lads You've landed in Van Diemen's Land.
Alternative lyrics (as sung by The Dubliners) Well, in a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprentice to trade I was bound Many an hour's sweet happiness Have I spent in that neat little town A sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Betrayed by the black velvet band
(Chorus): Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band
I took a stroll down Broadway Meaning not long for to stay When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid Comes a tripping along the highway She was both fair and handsome Her neck it was just like a swan's And her hair it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band
(Chorus)
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid And a gentleman passing us by Well I knew she meant the doing of him By the look in her roguish black eye A goldwatch she took from his pocket And placed it right in to my hand And the very first thing that I said was Bad luck to the black velvet band
(Chorus)
Before the judge and the jury Next morning I had to appear The judge he says to me: "Young man, your case it is proven clear We'll give you seven years penal servitude, to be spent faraway from the land Far away from your friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band"
(Chorus)
So come all you jolly young fellows A warning take by me When you are out on the town me lads, beware of them pretty colleens For they feed you with strong drink, "Oh yeah" 'til you are unable to stand And the very next thing that you'll know is you've landed in Van Diemens Land
(Chorus)

# The Acts and Monuments of John Foxe/Volume 3/The Trouble of John Barton and Robert Chapel, for Religion

Layout 2
THE TROUBLE OF JOHN BARTON AND ROBERT CHAPEL, FOR RELIGION.
During the time of this convocation in the year above-said, two priests were presented and brought before the bishops, noted and ​defamed for heretics; one named John Barton, unto whom it was objected by Philip, bishop of Lincoln, that he had been excommunicated about six or seven years before, upon articles concerning religion; and yet neither would appear, being cited, nor would seek to be reconciled again to the church. Which things being so proved against him, he was committed to the custody of the aforesaid Philip, bishop of Lincoln, and so to be holden in prison, till he should hear further what should be done.
The other was Robert Chapel, otherwise named Holbech, chaplain some time to the lord Cobham; unto whom likewise it was objected, that he, being under the sentence of excommunication about three or four years, yet notwithstanding, to the contempt of the keys, did continue saying mass, and preaching, and sought not to be reconciled; Chapel denying that he did know any such excommunication given out against him. Then was the copy of his excommunication, first made by the bishop of Rochester, afterwards denounced by the bishop of London at Paul's Cross, brought and read before him; and so that done, that session broke up for that time, which was about the latter end of May, A.D. 1416.
Chapel abjureth.The twelfth day of the month of July next following, the said Chapel appeared again before the archbishop and the prelates. To whom when it was objected as before, how he had preached without the bishop's license in divers places, as at Cobham, at Cowling, and at Shorne; at length, he, confessing and submitting himself, desired pardon. Which although it was not at the first granted unto him, yet at the last the bishop of Rochester, putting in his hands the decree of the canon law, and causing him to read the same, made him to abjure all his former articles and opinions as heretical and schismatical, never to hold the same again, according to the contents of the aforesaid canon. Whereupon the said Robert, being absolved by the authority of the archbishop (save only that he should not intermeddle with saying mass, before he had been dispensed from the pope himself, for irregularity), was enjoined by the archbishop himself for his penance, standing at Paul's, to publish these articles following unto the people, instead of his confession given him to be read.

# The Accusing Finger of Conscience

Source: U.S. National Archives and Records Administration
The Accusing Finger of Conscience
There is no knowing when horrifying news may be flashed over the cables from battle-torn Europe—our own boys are in the front line trenches now.
Bold headlines and harrowing details may herald the torturing death of thousands from starvation as well as bullets—the weakened, emaciated condition of allied soldiers—perhaps our own—FROM THE LACK OF FOOD.
Then YOU may be brought face to face with the terrible realization of a neglected duty—if you don't CONSERVE FOOD NOW.
God and Conscience Witness Every Action
When the shock comes will the silent, tormenting, blunt-pointed finger of conscience—and this accusation would agonize the devil himself—make you shrink from it shuddering with shame, guilt and stinging regret that you didn't even do so little as spare an unnoticeable quantity of certain foods which the government so urgently requested and fully explained why?
Surely no American whose veins are coursed with red blood will permit this indelible stain.
The Authorities Ask That You Save Fats
Glycerine, one of the Chief Substances Used in Making Explosives, is made from Fats So if Each Person Will Use One-Third of an Ounce Less of Fats from Meat a Day The Government Will Have 395,000 Tons More of Fats to Use for Glycerine in a Year—They Need It.
When you buy meats tell the butcher you will trim of the fats. Use more vegetable fats and oils for cooking. Conditions are serious, and growing more so each day—it is imperative that you comply with the government requests to conserve particular foods—concerted action on the food question is very vital in winning this war.
Relieve the Present Menacing Situation and Prevent Future Distress by Conserving Food
This space was cheerfully contributed in the interests of a most vital question—food conservation—by a group of two men.
