WAR AND ATHLETICS.
The Best Soldiers Are Not Always the
Strongest Men.

The Best Soldiers Are Not Always the
Strongest Men,
The revival of the Olympic games
in Greece, though in a very different
form from that of 1000 years ago, is
an event of uncommon interest. When
those games were at their best the
Greeks were the most warlike nation
in the world. This leads coutempo-
rary to ask whether there is any con-
nection between the athletic spirit
which characteriZes the Engiish-speak'
ing races of to-day and the war-liks
spirit which they also exhibit.
Byron, too, in speaking of the degen.
eracy of the modern Greek, wrote:
!" You have the Pyrrhie dances yet.
Where has the Pyrxhic phalanx gone?
OF two such lessons, why forget
The nobler and thesmanlier one?"
The poet did not stop TO think that
the Pyrrhic phalanxtwould have count
ed for nothing against modern arms
1t is also true that in the age of Greciau
glory athletics weresan immense adj,

strength and endurance of the soldier
then were Of first.importance. Now, in
most branches of military service
strength counts but little, though en-.
durance Is still q matter of great i'm
portance. But does experience show
that athletics are possessed of that sort
OF endurance that is most useful IL

Military men tell US that actual ex

this question The strong, athletia

most efficient soldiers. disappointed
