OIL the JarGon dear to the heart OF those who
can only understand courage as exemplined
In battle. When the fortress fell not a few
persons-and newspapers-in this country
declared that the advertisements had been
lived up to in the last particular and much
heroic ink was expended in laudng the gar.
rison.
Now comes correspondent for Mime
ap0llS paper who was present when Tsingchau
teli. He is an American, and writes boldly
oil what he saw. He says that if the defend
ers had cared to hold out longer. they had
both the men and the ammunition where
with to do it. According to this witness. the
Germans appear to have ceased fighting just
as soon as the attacking forces had brought
the fighting to relatively close quarters
Now nobody doubts the high courage of
the Germans They have as much courage as
any other nation. That they appear to think
they have more does not prove that they have
less. But, in addition to courage. they are
not without intelligence. They demonstrated
the possession of brains at Tsingchau, where
they held out long as they could, or as
well-fortified position made the losses in the
lighting greater on the attackers than on tho
defenders. When the former had paid the
price OF getting to close quarters, the Ger
mans surrendered, as they knew they could
not gain anything but determination by hold
ing out any longer.
We believe it is good thing 10 destroy any
romantic yarn which seeks to ennoble war
There is nothing noble about the conduct of
armed strife. The essential strategy of war
is to crush the enemy by superior numbers;
the general who slaughter the enemy
without exposing his own troops is the great
est strategist.
