The Psychology Of the Goose Step

tFro,n The Manchester Guardian
How many people know the psychological
purpose of the goose-step, which is so per-
severingly practised in German military
drill? 1t is well known that our emotions
and the tone and action Of our minds depend
largely upon our physical state, and are
influenced by the body's attitude and ten
sion Courage rises with muscular effort,
and mental balance is steadied as breathing
dcepens. ANY civilian will tell you that his
mentality is affected by being drilled in an
upright carriage and in standing firm and
straight upon the feet The use Of the UNI
fexed leg in the goose-step is but Incl
dental The main purpose Of the goose-step
is TO bring into consciousness and under i'm
mediate control the soldiers physical sup
port. German officers believe that the con-
scously firm knees resulting from the exag-
gerated goose-step have a wholesome effect
on a soldiers state OF mind. OF course it
must be a mind that has no room foI humor.
And who can say how much else this
strange exercise eliminates from the human
beings who practise it, and how far German
Kultur and its methods are not only SYM
bolized but modified by this national drill in
the goose-step.

THE SHAM"
Mislead the Unwary and Thoughtless

the war Of the Austrian Succession and Of
the Spanish Succession. united, the English
army under Pitt was the laughing stock OF
Europe. 1t could not boast of single
brilliant exploit. 1t had never shown ltsell
on the Continent but to be beaten, chased,
forced to re-embark or forced to capitulate.
And yet after all this, what was the hnai
result? Will you not admit that we have i'm
proved since that time? Will you not admit
that Asquith is at least in a better position
than was Pitt. from military point of view
And do you think that England Is daunteu
now if she was undaunted then? Whatever
happens on land, has single German soldier
chance or hope of gaining footing on
British soil, unless to find prison or
grave? Will you not take Moltke's word for
that? And of your charity, when you criti-
else deal kindly and cautiously with the great
stock from which most Americans have
sprung. Look back on their record, and re-
member that the future of their race is also
vour own. L. G0VETT.

Give the Help the Actors Need!

The campaign Of the Actors Fund of
America to raise an endowment fund OF
81 100000 deserves the heartiest sympa-
thy and the most complete public sup
port. 1t is saddening to know that the
resources of this organization have been
reduced, despite singularly economical
management, 10 a point where it has bare
w enough funds to continue its splendid
work for year. That condition should
not be permitted TO continue, for the SER
vice it renders to unfortunate members of
the theatrical profession, and, less direct
ly, to the public, is too fine and valuable to
be permitted to lapse.
An actor stranded, i'll, broken, old, is a
peculiarly pitiable and helpless creature,
unable to work. too sensitive and proud
to beg. Quite outside the realm of ordi-
nary organized charity, needy stage vet
Grams are the wards of the Actors Fund,
organized, administered and maintained
by members of the profession. Besides
keeping up the Actors Home, on Staten
Island, it has for many years past cared
for sick and stranded throughout the coun-
try TO the number of two hundred week.
It has existed on contributions from
friends and members, from the proceeds
Of benefit performances and the like. This
is the first time that general appeal has
been made for public help. 1t should not
go unanswered The men and women of
the stage, young and successful, are the
pets Of the public, feted, over-blessed with
friends. They give lavishy to charity,
both in money and in personal services.
In misfortune they should not be left
friendless.

Chain Shot for Zeppelins.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t makes me nearly wild with indigna-
ton when | read of the Zeppelin raids on the
city of London and the many other atrocities
practised by the Kaiser or by his order or
consent. The thought of retaliation in kind
by the English people is repugnant. The
English, as a people and a nation, are too
humane 70 ruthlessly murder innocent
women and children and inoffensive men out
OF spite. All the people in Germany are not
evil disposed. Many doubtless dsapprove of
the methods of warfare as practised by the
Kaiser or by his misunderstanding gas,
iiauid fire. prussic acid, etc, not TO mention
the Zeppelin.
Some one recently suggested in The Trib-
une that two cannon balls fastened together
by a wire or chain and fred from separate
guns might be successful In destroying or
damaging a Zeppelin. This scheme would
not work. Moreover, it would be exceedingly
dangerous, as il would be next TO impossible
TO fire of the two guns at the exact instant.
Chain shots were formerly employed in naval
warfare 10 cut of masts Of ships, damage or
destroy the rigging and sails and accomplish
any other discontinue 70 the enemy that a
missile OF that kind could be depended upon
10 do 10 whatever object with which it came
in contact.

London may see il, and if the chain shot has
not already been tried out it may be given

What was the Great Reorganizer dong

but of inhumanity. surprising brutality,

Again and again in these columns the
faith has been expressed that German de-
feat was inevitable because the German
idea was destructive of all that civiliza-
ton. religion, humanity meant. There are
days when the magnifcence Of the victo-

chances, her possibilities, sordidly, stu

Looking at the courage, the heroism OF

that British men will fail where their
women have succeeded gloriously? To be-

The Carnot Of the Navy.

As a piece of humor we have seer
nothing recently which compares with
the tribute which THE World" has just
paid to Secretary Daniels, the proud
originator and promulgator of the coun-
try's first consistent naval programme"
Before MIR. Daniess massive brain go,
into action, we are asked to believe, all
was chaos and uncertainty in naval coun-
ellis; there was no clear or intelligent
comprehension of the needs of the ma
tional defence. We were drifting along
without compass or rudder until Josephus,
the master reorganizer, the Carnot of the
Navy, appeared. Listen to "The World" :
a constructive naval programme, carefully
drawn with an eye TO the future and the
ultimate end 20 be reached, has been the sys-
tenn followed both by Great Britain and
Germany, and each year expenditures and
construction were arranged for in advance
/ in the execution Of that balanced policy
| That the United States should at last have
come round to that system of providing for
/ the national defence on the sea is due wholly
TO Secretary Daniels and the President.
/ 1t is on record, unfortunately for this
attempt at hero manufacture, that there
were navy builders even before the day,
of Josephus To the report which he made
for the fiscal year 1914 the Secretary
of the Navy, who had not then become
/ infected with the navy building enthu-
siasm, attached an humble document,
/ printed in finer type-the report made to
him by the General Board of the Navy
From that report it appears that away
back in 1903, when Mr.. Daniels was still
a busy journalist in Raleigh, n. c., the
General Board of the Navy was laying
down a consistent naval programme "
whose aim was to assure the safety of the
country for the next two decades from
attacks by sea. OF this programme which

Holding Convention

Portland, Ore, Aug. 5.-The convcn,
tion of the Oregon Retail Jewellers az.
sociation opened here today with
large attendance. President Staples pre-.
sided.
The important feature of the morning
session was an address by w. F. Wood
ward, Of the firm of Woodard & Clarke,
on the Stevens bin, and the disastrous
effect ON business from price cutting Of
standard articles.
Woodard explained that the purpose
of the Stevens bill, which was pending
before the last congress, was to giyo
the manufacturer of an article the right
to fix its retail price.
He gave many illustrations of the
injury resulting to the manufacturer Of
standard article through price cut
ting. He said a manufacturer suffered
loss Of reputation and business through
distrust created in the public mind
against him.
He said another evil was the practice
of substitution which was carried OF
by many dealers.
This afternoon President Staples de-
livered his annual address.

cial league here today.
"Tbe sinking of the Lusitania was a
brutal and uniustifiable thing, which
but for our own greed Of sending war
materials, and that On r passenger ship,
would have been unanswerable. By our
own act we made the tragedy possible
and destroyed the effect Of our pro
test, " said Works.
"Thc men who are growing rich
through their trade in instruments Of
death are participants in the crime of
war, Their wrong does not justify Ger.
many, but it has weakened the demand
Of this country on the German ma
ton"
By aiding in carrying on, or pro.
longing the war we are "in every es-
senti0l one of the allies and for the
time being an active enemy Of Ger.
