We should rather ascribe the
incident to the personality of the
soldier, whose hand was arrested
by the eXpostulation of his own
better nature. Viewed from that
point, it becomes significant OF
the growth of moral sentiment,
which, in the end, will Danish war
altogether. Perhaps that merciful
Confederate at Gettysburg was, in
a sense, faithless to his cause.
Who can say that, if the shot had
been fired, the result OF the strug-
gle might not have been different
The fall of a header has lost many
battle. Very likely if that act
of mercy had been witnessed by
the commander of the Alabama
regiment he would have cut the
conscientious soldier down with
his sword as a recreant from
duty!
Yet the man who spared the
generals life afteTward declared
that he was glad that he could not
press the trigger, and every gem
erous mind approves his act and
his sentiment.
In former days, when most bat
ties were fought hand to hand and
foot TO foot, the FUROR CERTA-
MINIS FURY of the fightl had no
such Interruptions. Moral senti-
ment counted for little on the bat
tlefield. There was no time for it
to assert itself, even if it existed
then as widely as it exists to- day
The dreadful scenes of slaughter
that attended Caesars campaigns
in Gaul, and the sacks of cities in
the Thirty Years War, would be
impossible now among civilized
people.
Education Will Bring Peace.
When a modern soldier, secure
in his position, sights along his
gun at an enemy, his mind is in
a state for reflection upon the ma
ture and consequences of his in
tended act of slaughter, and the
mere fact that he can strike at a
distance and unseen may restrain
him, as it did in this case, from
striking at all. He balances his
public duty against his personal
conscience, and unless the former
Overwhelmingly appeals to him,
the latter may prevail. If he can
see a chance for mercy he will
exercise it,
All this shows plainly the diree-
ton which the advocates of uni
versal peace land we are all such
advocates, though we may differ
in our ideas about methods)
should take in order to bring
about the result they aim at. 1t Is
the direction of EDUCATION. A
gun in the hands of a conscien-
tious soldier is moral force for
peace, and so is a powerful bat
tie fleet in the hands of a great,
civilized nation.

NNE OF the most significant
revelations of the mind of
the soldier in battle that 7
nave ever seen is in a letter from
a Confederate soldier to General
]. L, Chamberlain. which the gen.
oral quotes in his dramatic story
4 the awful battle of Gettysburg
in HEARSF'S MAGAZINE for
June.
The letter is too long to be in
serted in this brief article. but
you should read it in full, and in
connection with the vivid picture
OF the scenes Of that heroic con
test 1.-THE mightiest battle ever
fought on American SOLD. in order
to understand its significance.
Impossible to Pull Trigger.
The incident to which the let
ter refers occurred during the
struggle among the rocks for the
possession of the famous Round
Tops The writer, who was a
member of an Alabama regiment,
had placed himself in a secure DO
sition between two rocks, where,
unseen himself, he had a clear
view of the nearby Federal lines,
and particularly of General Cham
berlain, whose rank he recognized
by his uniform.
He knew the importance of
picking off officers, and he drew
bead on General Chamberlain.
resting his gun on a rock to get a
sure aim. But as he was about
to pull the trigger, a sudden
qualm arrested him, and he did
not fire. Then he grew ashamed
of his weakness and drew a bead
a second time.
Il had you, perfectly certain.
But that same queer something
shut right down on me. l couldn't
pull the trigger, and l gave it up
that is, your life"
There are plenty of stories of
the blind madness and of the I'M
natural calm that, at different
times, possess the soldier in bat
tie, making him, in one case,
shoot and thrust and strike al
most without volition, and, in the
other case. perform similar acts
with the cold, unsympathetic pre-
cision Of a machine; but it is rare.
outside Of fiction, to hear of an
incident like this, where con-
science asserts its rights.
His Own Better Nature.
No doubt some persons would
see, in the resistless impulse that
restrained that shot, a mystic in
fuence which, for some providen-
tial purpose, paralyzed the finger
that was curved to press the trig-
ger; but such ideas belong to the
days when the Olympian gods
were believed to guide the spear
of Achilles or to throw a mantle
of invisibility about Hector.

MONEY CANNOT
BUY TICKETS

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 13.-Elas-
tic walls and rubber grand stands are
being advocated by Alan Mclean, the
Minnesota athletic manager, for the
accommodation Of football crowds of
the future. The Gopher manager has
been driven to this by the unparal-
leied demand for tickets to the Min
nesota-Chicago game Saturday..
The ~despairing cries of disappoint-
ed football bugs have forced Mr.. Nc
Bean to heroic measures. The sad
walls, have. been floating in from the
p~rairies of the northwest and the
north woods are echoeing the de-
mands. Northrop field, by a little
crowding, a take care of close to
$4,000 persons, but from all indica-
tons there are at least 10, 900 more
than that anxious to glimpse the til
tanic struggle.
Mail orders alone have netted
$17,50O, and down town tickets and
window sales will drive the grand to-
tai for the day to something like $35,-
600. Hundreds of checks have been
received since Saturday and have
been returned with thanks. There is
no other way out Of the difficulty.
Today the gentlemanly photoera-
pher caught Mr.. Mclean at the tele-
phone. He was saying for the $685.
o30,lO4th time that money was I'M

tao Ia Worriad,

AID was WOKE by Coach Stage In
his efforts to set the Midway title hopes
on edge for the western championship
game with Minnesota ext Saturday at
Minneapolis. The Maroon mentor re-
counted to his squad the doughty deeds
of Chicago and the Gophers in past
, years and the burden Of the Grafton
was hat the Midwayites can ever the
honors of the entire series of games
by taking the coming battle. Make it
a tie," was adopted as the watch
word. at..
Gophers Have Edge.
Some of the aspiring Maroons were
surprised to learn Minnesota had de-
feated the Chicago team five. times in
history to four Midway victories. Coach
Stagg impressed the fact that Coach
Williams pupils Ia the advantage in
point Of wins n the lecture may have
been responsible for the sparkle shown
in the signal drills that followed.
Nelson Nogren, who for three years
has been the athletic hero Of the stu
dents, is the one man upon whom the
students are placing the greatest share
Of the hope for victory. He is rated
by Director Stage as one of the best
football men ever on the Midway. With
Norgren's punting, Russelps drop kick
ing, and the effective backield xcom-
bination in both open and end-run
plays the Midway students are ex-
pecting a decisive victory, while Di-
rector Stage Is dubious.
The chief cause now for the uneasi-
ness on the part of the Midway direct
or is the frequent fumbling of the back
field. A final polishing of the plays
will be made this afternoon. ,
Russell a Star. "
Outside Of a tendency to tumble,
"Eckie'' Russell is a faultless star,
and the most dependable quarterback
that has appeared on the Maroon field
since Eckersall and Steffen, according
to Director Stagg. He is a hard man
to tackle, an artful dodgers a heady
man In pinches-although this is only
lately noticeable-and a sure tackler
himself.
"Those Minnesota players" said
Assistant Coach Sauer, who say the
Gopher Badger game, played with all
the force there was in them to put
DIR. Williams in good standing with
the collegiate world. Dr. Williams has
been accused in the Northern Mime
sofa associations resolutions as failing
to inspire the fighting spirit in the
Gopher candidates. They showed they
had the fighting spirit by trouncing
Wisconsin by a big score.
Chicago is going to have to contend
with the same proposition. Those play
ers are going to half kill themselves

will have the conference championship
