The Septuagenarian Fighter.

Those who consider their years have
relieved them of the moral obligation
to defend their country in time Of war
should not feel too content in their immu-
nifty There are men in the sixties prepar-
ing themselves for eventualities at Platts-
burg, to say nothing of those at this age
fighting on every front in Europe-as Off
GERS Of long standing, to be sure. Very
lately Scottish paper has alluded to the
remarkable case of Colonel Sir Robert
Cranston, of the Royal Scots, who at sew
enty-two commands battalion OF his
regiment and has serving under him both
a son and a grandson.
OF course, no one expects the septua-
genarians, broken and spent in the pur-
suits Of peace, to flock to the standard as
volunteers. Having abused their constl-
tutons in the deadly routine of civil life,
having stuck devotedly to their cult OF
peace with commerce, they are really worn
out before their time and unfit even for
the last reserve. Sir Robert, on the other
hand, though a merchant and volunteer
has all his life been a citizen soldier and
an enthusiastic one. He shook no puffy
cheeks in ominous dsapproval when the
sabre ratified, but instead performed his
militia duties faithfully and maintained
himself in physical readiness for the call;
so that at seventy-two, beyond the al
lotted span of threescore years and ten,
he is still an active, sturdy, useful citizen,
a ioy unto himself and a source of pride
to his community.
There are worse things than military
enthusiasm, and one is the civilian soft
ness that pacifsm encourages, leading
comparatively early to that constant bat
tie with, ones degenerating vital organs
which can only end in defeat. Many an
old man dieting peacefully at home must
envy Sir Robert, sharing all the hard
ships and dangers of trench warfare,
too healthy and busy to remember that
his days are few. The battlefield has more
than one remedy for old age.

Sir: Germany lives TO fight, while other
nations fight to live. In this statement We

The Pope Left the Vatican

Rome (via Paris,) Nov. IA
Pope Benedict has made an i'm
portant departure from the Gus
tom. of the pontiffs by visiting
the Church of Saint Anna, ad-
joining the Apostolic Palace, and
thus going outside of the Vatican
precincts, according to the news
paper Giornale d'Italia. Since
the fall of the temporal power
one form of papal protest against
the new order Of things has been
the seclusion of the pontiffs in
the Vatican.

nounced that his message to Con-

the subject of preparedness and
the ways and means Of attaining
that end. The most Of the people
are with the President on this
question and nearly all of us be-

act of wisdom.
OF course there are degrees of
preparedness and just what
amount of preparation we should
make is a question that should
and will be left to those who have
made a study Of our needs and it
is to be hoped that the garment
will be cut to meet the demands,
rather than according to the
cloth" which should be provided
in ample quantity to cover the
nakedness of our unpreparedness.
Any sort of plan will Of course
meet with bitter opposition OF
several different varieties Of
"peace" advocates and it is to be
expected that the few who hon.
estly believe that any sort Of arm
ament is not good for the nation
will bitterly denounce as militar-
ism the plan adopted. Aligned
with these will be a large foreign
element which our melting pc"
has utterly failed to fuse into
true citizenship; and a motley
crowd of chautauqua lecturers and
politicians Of the peanut type
who will attempt to make it an
issue; many so-called reformers
and a great many other kinds of
publicity seekers.
While the opposition may sue
ceed in reducing plans for pre-
paredness to point below our
full needs, some sort of plan will
without doubt be adopted and
carried out. The American peo-
pie, who have before them the ex-
ample of England, France and
Russia; and the terrible price they
have paid for their unprepared-
ness, are demanding that the ma
ton be placed at least upon foot
ing of self defense.
We are today the richest nation
in the world and it is only natur-
al that in our present condition
of comparative military and ma
val helplessness, we should be a
morsel to tempt a lustful power
and while in the past our geo.
graphical position has been our
safeguard, modern methods Of
transportation and late naval in
ventions have made it possible |
for our seaboards to be struck |
practically without warning.
True, we have our treaties but |
Germany having given us very
thorough demonstration Of the
actual value Of treaties most of us
have lost more5or less faith in
their efficiency as any sort of
safeguard.
Whatever plan the President
may ultimately urge for prepared
ness we may be sure will be con-
sentative and the people, realizing
the necessity are in hearty accord
with him. t. h
