Queer Opinion of Spanish People
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

founded on courage, for bullights.
In Spain people are not afraid of
blood, and that it is which makes
the nation indomitabIe!"
Everybody knows that Madame
Adam tells only the plain truth
about the indomitable character
of the people OF Spain. Rome
never mastered them as she mas
tered other races. The rush Of the
Moors upon them was merely an
overwhelming wave which event
uaIly was hurled back again Ma
pOleon could not trample them into
subsection. The disaster that she
encountered a few years ago, when
she braved the power of the
United States, has been nobly re-
deemed, because it only threw her
back upon herself.
But is it true that not only a
tolerance, but a passion, for blood
shed is. as Madame Adam seems
to think, the surest indication of
an unconquerable spirit of a
people?
We might find historic grounds
for such an opinion. When Rome
at the same time ruled and defied
the world her people delighted in
nothing so much as scenes of blood
shed, Not only bulls and horses,
but elephants, lions, tigers, and
even armed men, had to surren-
der their lives by thousands in the
arenas in order to crafty the
thirst of the Roman populace for
blood In Rome, too, and still more
decidedly than in Spain, people
were not afraid of blood"
Yet Rome fell when other peo-
pies as fearless of blood as her
own began to descend in hordes
upon her. IT WAS THE SPIRIT
OF CHRISTIANITY THAT FINAL
LY SAVED ROME AND ETER-
NALIZED HER.
Madame Adam is undoubtedly
right in wishing to see Spain
placed shoulder to shoulder with
France at this critical moment,
but she might have found a better
foundation for her faith in the
sturdy virtue of the Spanish peo-
pie than such as can be based upon
their alleged indifference to blood
shed.

War Slowly but Surely

Ferocity.

But-war, while seeming to rem
der itself more terrible by the aid
Of science, is slowly losing its
teeth and beginning to tremble in
every limb, like those superan-
nuated giants that Bunyan saw in
his vision inhabiting the cave at
the termination of the Valley of
the Shadow of Death.
1t is stumbling under the weight
II carries. BY and by it will pass
away, and then, since human ma
ture can not change at the bottom
as rapidly as it changes on the
surface, it will behOove the world
to see that it does not take upon
its shoulders, in the form of a Mr..
Legality" a more insufferable bur-
den than it bore in the person Of

wishes for an alliance with Spain
in order that Spanish armies may
aid in the protection of France.
The coming war and nothing else
is the dominant thought in every
Frenchmans mind as he does his
best to win friends for his threat
ened fatherland.
But there is a broader aspect to
this subject, which is revealed in
a remark of the famous French
authoress, Madame Adam. When
asked recently her opinion about
the proposed Spanish alliance. she
replied that such an understanding
appeared TO her desirable in every
sense of the word And then she
added some remarkable sentences:
Heroic is Spain throughout her
whole history" said Madame Adam.
Her women personify her heroism,
not only in their defense Of Sara
sossa, but in their passion, often

The world is doomed to see
much fighting yet. Armies are not
going to be abolished tomorrow or
the next day. Every new invention
is instantly seized upon to add to-
the military power Of the nations.
The reign of the lawyers is not
going Immediately to succeed that
of the warriors The judges, with
their long robes, their powdered
wigs and their heads filed with
presidents and legal technicalities,
are not on the point of crowding
out the generals with their swords,
their gold-laced coats and their
strings of glittering medals.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-08

NNE of the questions which
most profoundly interest
all thoughtful Frenchmen
at the present moment is that of
an alliance between their country
and Spain. The fear of Germany
hangs over the French republic
as that of the Gauls, lowering in
dark clouds behind the Alps, hung
over ancient Rome.
Amid all the talk of peace,
which is everywhere so popular
to-day, there is no mistaking the
fact that in France every heart
IS heavy with thoughts of war. If
It were a war Of aggression and
conquest that lowered in the near
future. the hearts of the French
people would be not heavy, but
jubilaut. But the approach of a
defensive war invariably saddens
the spirits of those who expect to
be its victims.
The simple fact, which one sees
repeated again and again in the
French newspapers, that the popu-
latiou Of Germany is increasing at
the rate of a million a year, while
that of France is stationary, if not
declining, is sufficient to awaken
the gloomiest forebodings.
1t is a spectacle that moves the
sympathy of a foreign visitor to
see this great people, with their
glorious past irradiating them like
the splendor of a sunset, compelled
to meet the menace of their mighty
foe, with his constantly swelling
armies, by the almost pitiful de
vice of forcing their sons to spend
an additional year of their youth
in camps. because there are no
crowds of successors coming up
from the cradle 10 take their
