BRAVERY ON THE BATTLEFIELD
CreeIman Writes OF Idolatry Of the
Present Day Soldiers.


James Creelman in Pilgrim. Who
can explain this unconquerable attrac-
ton OF the garb Of slaughter for the
feminine mind and temperament? Is
it the suggestion Of romantic and chiy-
alrous deed? Is 1t pride in the physlc-
al strength OF the nations? Is 1t the
symbolism Of sacrifice-the Individual
standing for society2 is it attraction
by r~epulsion-the soft and mer1cful,
drawn toward the hard and pitiless-
the positive blending upon the mega
tive? Or is 1t a blending OF all these?
The simple truth is that the mill
tary coat no longer stands for what 1t
did In the days Of close range and
hand-to-hand fighting. The policeman
who arrests a burglar in the night.
the fireman who serves in a plague
district-each is a more heroic figure
than The modern soldier or sailor, who
fights almost out Of sight of the enemy
and is seldom called TO do battle with
an individual foe. Yet the policeman,
the fireman, and the physician are held
in slight esteem as heroes and the
sight of them rarely excites the roman
tic imagination OF women.
/ can say truthfully that l have
never seen a coward on the battlefield.
/ have seen men unnerved by the
sounding Of bursting shells. but that
was always a mere physical Weakness.
/ never saw one who showed the
slightest disposition to run away. On
the contrary, the trouble most COM
manders have is in keeping their men
from exposing themselves unnecessar-
lily. But the raves man / ever saw
was a civilian without a uniform-the
barefooted Japanese coolie who at
tended me during the first part of the
battle OF Port Arthur. He was With
out a weapon of any sort, but when the
Japanese advanced to storm a Chin
csc triple fort. the little brown fellow
stopped and picked UP a stone. When
/ asked him What he intended TO &c
with it, he said that he would kill d
Chinaman when we got close enough
-There te-c CO Tic antique Iloid
That man stood for elements that len
a romantic glory to the warriors OF
other times-the strong arm, the
steady heart, the clear eye. the pride
of individual prowess.
