Berlin, Nov. 30.-Newspaper cor.
respondents, as is W%ell-known, have
seer almost nothing Of the actual
fighting in this war, but on the Ger
mar side, there is now n account
of a battle written by n of the men
who watched it from the headquarters
of the commanding general himself.
This was a recent engagement fought
on the East-Prussia frontier in Rus
STA, and it was described by Captain
Schickert, the wal correspondent OF
the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. What he
saw from the observation post of Cen
eral von Morgan is thus reported:
"The battlefield vas spread out be-
fore lis like a panorama. A slightly
rolling plain stretched away toward
forests on the horizon. We could
clearly see the movements OF the in
fantry in a depression to our right.
Making good use of the covering at
hand, a battalion was moving for
ward to reinforce it's riiemen, whose
thin battle-line was only. just visible
through our field glasses. It advanced
in closed formation at double quick
across the back of the ridge. How
important this movement was just at
this moment was shown by the burst

ridge, but some time after our men

HAS "PANiC" BEEN ERASED?

At the Merchants Association
luncheon yesterday, at which the Of
fcers Of the Federal Reserve Bank
Of New York were the guests of hon
or, mr.. Benjamin Strong, Jr., COVER
nor of the bank, made a speech which
the business mel there assembled
must have found both instructive and
wholesomely encouraging. He warn
ed his hearers that "the reserve
banks cannot make prosperity but
he set forth in a straightforward and
lucid way the nature of the important
service which the new system is in
a position to render to the legitimate
activities Of the country's business.
Although the individual banks, he
said in conclusion, own the stock OF
the reserve banks, the benefits of the
system will in fact be realized by the
merchant who borrows money.
It has already erased the word,
panic from our financial lexicon.
Its purpose is to safeguard your cred
it, and ultimately to enlarge the field
of your business enterprise.
That the word, panic" is no
longer to find a place in u vocabu-
larry will be regarded by many as an
oversanguine assertion; but much de-
ponds on the definition of the word.
If we are to mean by it such expert
ences as have in the past thrown our
whole fabric of currency and credit
into utter disorder, Mr.. Strong's state
ment, we may confidently believe, is
justified; the peculiar violence OF
these cataclysms in u country, as
compared with the experience of 9th
err leading nations, has ~unquestlOn-
ably been mainly due to the absence
Of such a central apparatus of credit
and currency as the new system is
fitted to supply. AS for those less
extreme, but still very serious, dis

which have resulted, in other coun-
tries as well as in our own, from

speculation, the new system a do

to prevent them.-New York Post.

HEALTH WEEK..

This week is Health Week, says
the Duluth Herald.
All health organizations and many
others cooperating, the attempt will
be made to drive home the lessons OF
caution that are making for better
public health and greater human we'll
being.
Talk all you please about the psy-
chOlogy of fear, which may drive
weak-minded hypochondriacs into i'm
aginary suffering from imaginary all
ments, the fact still remains that 1t
is only by the intelligent cultivation
Of fear that public interest in proper
precautions can be developed.
The policy that would ignore the
peril Of contagion is as silly as the
tabled policy Of the ostrich which
thinks it can hide itself by sticking
It's head In the sand.
The policy that would attack pub
lie health work and oppose education

A BRIGHT IDEA.

A New Thought leader in Chicago
has announced a theory for lodging
bullets, which is simple. He says all
the soldiers have to do is to get into
a state of mind where they will be
"above the realm of cause and eff
feet" 1t is claimed also that this
power my be used to great advantage
by any person in warding off street
car, automobile, railroad and aero
plane accidents and drowning. If it
could only be made to ward Off col.
lectors, book agents and things like
that, it would be come very popular.
If this new thinker" will permit the
suggestion--it might be found to be
advantageous to the promotion Of his
theory-and that is il the novice
finds finds it difficult to climb into
that realm" he might overcome the
effect first, allowing the cause to
continue, or vice versa, then as he
increases in the power of his halluci-
nation he may be able to master both.
The Doctor will please pardon the
impertinent suggestion.

THE RESTLESS e

The letter from President Wilson
to Secretary McAdoo the other day
seemed to indicate that he expected
to let Congress off easy in the next
sessions. At least, he wrote as If
his program we're virtually complete.
But so far in his career Mr.. Wilson
has shown himself a restless man,
and the restless man, in spite of all
the intentions in the world, never
finally settles down to a quiet life.
When Colonel Roosevelt retired
from the presidency he expected to
assume the restful duties of a maya
zine editor. But his temperament
and events were too much for him.
Napoleon was always going to settle
down and be quiet, but he didn't sue
coed until the Allies sent him to st.
Helena.
The men OF achievement are usual
ly driven forward iby an inward i'm
pulse which they can't cOntrOl-or
which, at least, they doa't control.

A CHANGE IN DATE AND RATES

A CHANGE IN DATE AND RATES.
To the locker on in Venice, the end
of the war appears no nearer than be-
fore, but to- those who issue Lloyd's
policies it does not seem to be so far
off. A few weeks ago, according to
these policies, the chances were five
to one that peace would not come
within a year. Now, so have the
odds or chances changed that the
betting, so-called, is ten to six, not
that hostilities will cease within a
year, but that the war will be ended
by March 81. 1t would be interesting
to know upon what these calucula-
TORS are based. Certainly, there are
no surface indications of such a
change of conditions as would war
rant such a change of principal and
premium. In effect, it is an express
sion of optimism in contract form. In
other words, London is becoming not
only more confident of triumph, but
of the ability of the Allies to hasten
the inevitable. Not otherwise can
the significance Of the change. be in
terpreted, but rates might be differ
ent in Berlin and Vienna. That dates
would correspond is also unlikely.
Much depends upon the point of view,
to say nothing of the wish which may
be father to the thought.-Brooklyn
