0ld-Time Wars.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
Literary warriors express awed sur
prise that men can bring themselves to
face the death-dealing hail from mod
erR cannon, and declare that the cour-
age shown in the present conflict sur
passes anything previously known.
This is plausible, but is it true? There
is unanimous agreement in reports
from the front that the hardest test of
soldiers is to stand up to a determined
bayonet charge. So long as death
strikes unseen from the sky, the aver
age man, If sufficiently well trained,
sets his teeth, hopes he may be lucky,
and goes on. But when death races to-
ward him in the shape of a glittering
line of steel points, held by men who
seem to have a consuming desire to
probe the insides of every human thing
in front of them, the average soldier
is prone to remember a pressing en-
gagement at the rear.
Go back far enough. and war was all
bayonets, that is to say. spears, save
for the work done with that vet more
sword. The physical contact which is
an unusual incident of strife today was
a universal occurrence in olden battles.
- There the western mountaineer
Rushed with bare bosom on the spear,
And flung the feeble targe aside
And with both hands the broadsword Piled.
One fancies that such work took as
much courage as is required to hold a
trench under shrapnel fire. A different
order of courage, to be sure: the fiery
valor of the massed rush, rather than
the cold endurance which hangs on by
but the same Willingness to face death
in the path of duty inspires both, and
who shall say that one is higher than
the other?

eagerness with which prominent clubs
are turning their attention to the once

"hae causes one to wonder further
Is that a prominent club should de-

similar metropolitan fixture. Az the
situation stands. Baltusrol and Fo,

or less OF surprise, it really should

But to return to the coming meeting.
1t looks as if the delegates will have
to decide the question whether there
really is any good reason why a club
should not handle both the national
and the metropolitan open the same
season. At Fox Hills the officials see
no reason why they should not have
both. AS a matter of fact the NJ G. A.

do was to go after the national, and

NEW YORK, December 26.-One OF
the problems which is destined to re-

and the summer social capital has been
designated. nevertheless. This year.
however, there is a different situa ton
confronting the tennis authorities than
ever before, and, while it would be
hazardous to predict that Newport will
not get the appointment for the COM

ment is under way which Is likely to
mean ultimately that the Rhode Island

might be in the best possible condition
