ARMS AND THE MAN.
Death-Dealing Machines Have Not
Conquered Human Bravery.

Modern history, which is but an
other term for modern life. is full OF
surprises, and even the little we
know authentically of the operations
by the allied armies has been replete
with wonderful and unforeseen Incl
dents that would have been deemed
the visions of romance if they had
been suggested only few months
ago. Even in a machine made war
man is the deciding element, and
man has ever been the greatest sur
prise to himself. An unusual view
of the man in the war is given in an
editorial in the fourth war issue of
the Scientific American of December
5, which is in part as follows:
Among the unexpected develop
ments of the war, none has been more
amazing than the unflinching steadi-
ess with which the citizen soldiers of
the warning nations, and especially
those engaged on the western battle
fields, have faced the murderous at
tack of modern weapons, whether by
the magazine rife, the machine gun,
the searching shrapnel, or the shat
tering, high-explosive, 16-inch shell!
So accustomed have we become,
through the daily testimony of eye
witnesses, to the more-than-human
courage with which frail flesh and
blood is facing, day in, day out, and
for weeks together, the tornado of
lead and steel which sweeps over the
modern battlefield, that we are for
getting that only yesterday we were
all saying that this miracle could not
be. Had not the military experts
themselves assured us that the ac-
curacy and volume of modern rifle,
machine-gun, and shrapnel fire was
such. that not the finest troops in the
world could be brought to face the
tempest in a frontal attack in the
open?
And yet this very thing has hap
pened-not merely once, to be writ
ten into the chronicles of nations
sublime heroics, but. everywhere and
every day throughout that far-fiung
battle line on which Teuton is locked
in the death grip with Frank and
Briton.
Marvellous, also, is the fact that
this niatchless courage is being dis
played, not by the toughened vet
Grams of long campaign, not by pro-
fessional soldiers, steeled and tenn
pered by the discipline of barracks
and camp, but by work-a-day laymen,
called at a minutes notice from the
peaceful routine of their daily lives,
and told to rush into the jaws OF
hell"

ment of victory makes but slight de.
mands. But the power of going on
without any conviction Of success is
the greatest force in the world.
The qualities of courage hinted at
above apply not only to armed con-
flict, but to the tacllling of all life
problems. And perhaps the hardest
Of all is a physical or moral retreat.
How often do we meet obstinate folk
willing enough to die for a craze or
a whim: Rightly regarded, theirs is
not courage at all, though it may bear
a certain resemblance.
The courage of forced inaction, of
remaining calm and cheerful under
the load of anxiety, deserves high
place. Indeed, all the admirable peo-
pie we know have courage in some
form. For it is the very salt of life.
1t is the quality that made the wo-
men of Poland give their jewelry to
the nation, and wear iron jewels as
a symbol of their resolve, while their
sons and husbands gave their lives
on the battlefield. And the same
spirit moves women today to go into
the fields and gather the harvest, or
to do any other work, rough or gen.
tie, so as to free others to fight for
European freedom.
And with nations the quality has
various phases in action. The Bel
gians. by admitting the Prussian
hordes, could have bargained for a
sort of independence. By refusing
they lost Brussels and Louvain, and
many thousands of lives. But there
was no hesitation. The quality Of
courage animated a whole people.
1t was Napoleon who promised his
troops at Austerlitz that he would
keep himself safe. while they risked
their lives. He realized that dis
play of physical courage would have
no effect comparable with the plain
assertion that his head was cool, and
that they would be we'll directed. Yet
he could admire Ney's daring. Il
have 200,OOO,0O0 in my coffers," he
said, "and I would give them all for
Ney." Also he said:
In all battles, a moment occurs,
when the bravest troops, after having
made the greatest efforts, feel in
clined to run. That terror proceeds
from want of confidence in their
own courage: and it only requires a
slight opportunity, a pretence, to re-
store confidence"
There is no essential courage. 1t is
a combination of qualities. varying in
different persons: even changing in
the same person. 1t is spiritual
health.-T. P.'s Weekly.

God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble, there

earth be removed and though the
mountains be carried into the midst

There one has a courage based up
on faith, a recognition of danger with
an unconquerable belief in overcom-

removed both from fatalistic indiffer-
ence and from insolent bravado. And
no one with any knowledge of the &C
tual officers and men serving in the

deny that simple, never-talked-

TAILS OF SOLDIER GRIT.
Two Irislmen Reject Surrender and
Fight to the Death.

IriShmen fighting Brltalns S battles
in France today are proving them
selves worthy of the finest traditions
of their race, says the London Chron-
icle. There have been many stories
of their endurance and pluck, but
two related by trooper of the Irish
Dragons may be taken as typical:
There was a man of ours says
the trooper, who carried chum to
a farm house under fire, and when
the retreat came got left behind,
the German patrol called and found
them. There were only the two, one
wounded, against dozen Uhlans.
Behind a barrier of furniture they
kept the Germans at bay, wounding
or killing half of them. The Ger
mans made off and brought a ma
chine gun TO the house and threat
ened to destroy it.
The two soldiers were not unmind-
full of the kindness shown them by
the owners of the farm, and rather
than bring loss on them or the VIII
lage they made rush out with some
mad idea of taking the gun.
Just over the threshold Of the
door they fell dead, their blood be-
scattering the walls of the house.
People may call them pigheaded
for not surrendering. but that sort
of wrongheadedness is worth a lot
as inspiration to others, and if Brit
ish soldiers had always worried about
what the stay-at-homes would think
of their deeds, some of the finest
stories in the history of the army
could never have been told.
There was young chap of the
Irish Rifles. He was kneeling beside
a wounded man of the Gloucesters,
think, keeping off the Germans.
He had been hit himself, but was
gamely firing at the enemy as fast us
his wounded arm would permit. We
went to his assistance, but they were
both worn out when we reached
them, and greatly to our regret, We
had to leave them to be picked up
by the Red Cross people.
That was hard; but if YOU tried
to pick up every wounded man you
saw you wouldn't be much use as
fighter, and as we were under urg-
ent orders to take up a position from
which to cover the retreat we had
no time for sentiment. They knew
that, and they weren't the men to
ask us to risk the safety of the army
for them.
"'Never mind the rifleman said,
with faint smile on his guilty face,
the Sisters will pick US all up when
it's over, but if they don't, sure, then
we've only got once to die, and it's
the grand fight we've had, anyhow.
What more could soldiers ask for?'
when we came back again one Of
the men was there, sure enough
stone dead; but his mate had gone,
and whether it was the Germans or
the Red Cross people that got him
1 wouldn't care to say
Not only on the battlefield is the
British soldier showing his grit, as
an incident related by member OF
the Royal army medical corps, now
invalided home. we'll shows. Relat-
ing his experience he says:
1T was wonderful how cheerful
the wounded were.
lone poor fellow who had been
shot in the head and hit by shrap-
mel bullet in the mouth and was ap-
parently dying, pointed out to me an
other man, badly wounded, remark
ing, That poor bloke is going home;
he will be home before me. ,"
