simistic, doubtful; he lacks confidence
in himself, hesitates TO make up his
mind, fears to trust his own decis.

much of himself, thinking makes his
condition worse, the increase in his
disorder makes him think still more
about himself, and that adds to his
sufferings. II is a vicious circle
that, once started, it is pretty hard
TO break.
Medicine won't help him, unless he

LITTLE ARMIES BEILI0ERENT

The readiness with which Peru,
mastering trifling army Of 1000
officers and men, faces a war with
Ecuador, is only equalled by the
alacrity with which Ecuador, pos.
sessed of a military force Of about
the same immaterid size, accepts the
possibilities of war with Peru. II
seems to be an instance, Of which
South America does not give all the
examples, of military cockiness in.
creasing, in inverse ratio, with the
importance Of its military force.
We do not contend that a large
standing army is either necessary or
desirable, although there are excep-
tions to prove the rule. The United
States, which has kept the regular
army down to a skeleton force, has
fought war every thirty years. II
IL had possessed 10000 trained men
In 1912 and n good navy, Great Brit.
ain would not have permitted that
war to get an excuse. And who
doubts but that, in 1861, IL President
Lincoln had been able TO set reg.
ular army of 100000 men in rotion,
the Rebellion would have been avoid.
ed. Bull Run was lost by n mob
and won by n little better mob; but
regular army of 100000 men
would not have had a chance to get
into it. The South would have pre-.
ferred TO endure n Republican ad.
ministration than to see itself in
vaded by n big army that knew its
business from the word Go!
II is curious fact that every
first class power has been in n war
during the last twelve years, except
ing Germany, which can mobilize A..
100000 trained men, and France,
which can possibly mobilize 3,000,.
900. As respects both the excepted
nations, the standing armies seem to
have n steadying influence. To move
the magainst each other would cost
too much; would bring on too awful
a calamity. But If Germany and
France had trifling little armies, they
might play at war with each other
in quite the Peruvian or Ecuadoran
spirit. There would be a chance to
vent angry passions without doing
irreparable harm.
