their heads into a second

might dodge their heads into a second
bullet.
The men were new to fighting, how
ever. and they were not on the firing
line. They had to sit idly back Of the
Eain firing line while the Southerners
were attacking their lines.
Just then a big cannon shell burst
above their heads. The captain
lodged with the rest, bringing out a
big laugh from the recruits. most of
whom were not very well disciplined
and had little respect for the great
ness Of their commanding officer.
Dodge the big ones." the captain
shouted. as he admitted that even the
seasoned men sometimes dodge an un-
expected shot. It is the unexpected
ness Of the shooting that causes the
men to dodge. When they become
used to the noise of battle they can
sleep right through q bombardment
without being troubled. They fight
and sleep in sort Of daze. Often they
are on duty for SO long that they can
not go to sleep when the fighting is
over, but they sit in q stupor. not
knowing what to do.
Sometimes It requires more heroism
to stand under fire than at other times.
The real heroes are the recruits; for
they stay at the front even though
they get scared. The seasoned SOL
diers jest as they fight just as a gang
Of workmen jest and talk with each
other. Fighting is occupation to them.
It is told Of hero in the Spanish
American war who was commissioned
a major in the American Volunteer
army. althoug he had no previous
military experience except at a mill
tary school, that as he was going into
action at San Juan hill one of the reg
ular army officers noticed the majors
white face and chattering teeth.
Major. you are scared" the regular
said.
Il know it." said the major. III you
were half as scared as am you would
be twenty miles from here"
It is not only the soldiers who
showed heroism under fire in Europ,.
The civilians were heroes as well. In
Belgium the farmers were in the
midst Of harvest when the uhlans
crossed their frontier The farmers
continued harvesting their crops be-
cause they realized the armies would
trample them under foot Their only
hope was in completing the harvest
before the armies crossed the country.
They worked amid shot and shell with.
out regard to the enemy. They were
just as safe in the field at work as
they were running and they brayely
chose the wiser course.
War correspondents tell how they
found French women knitting while
the fighting was going on. There was
nothing for them to do but knit. Then
why run? AZ they knitted they com.
mented on the shots which dropped
around them. In Reims It is told how
women near the cathedral counted the
shells as they struck that edifice.
; There Is tale Of q soldier In the

! trenches who was known to every
body as a coward. He always would
hug the bottom of the trench. 1t
seemed he never could get over 1t. But
he was passionately fond of cigarettes.
One day while the bullets were whis-
Ting above his trench a soldier In a
neighboring trench held up cigarettes
to him. He jumped up. raced to the
| other trench and came back triumph
antly with the cigarettes. He was I'M
hurt.
More officers are killed in battle In
proportion to their numbers than any
other class Of men. That is due to the
risks they insist on taking. That is
particularly true in the English army,
where the officers risk their lives
needlessly. The Germans would be
court-martialed for risking their lives
as much as the English officers DO
The English say they do 1t to steady
their men and show they are not
afraid.
The same is true to considerable
extent in the American army. The
losses of officers in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war was surprisingly great OF
course the Spanish-American war was
not on the proportions Of this war and
the sharpshooters figured extensively.
An officer in our regular army who
saw fighting in the Spanish war. point
ed out the other day that most persons
had a very wrong conception Of how
soldiers fight in modern battles.
"Skirmish drills in times of peace
have taught the troops how to act to-
gether, and it is amazing to see how
quickly the men adapt themselves to
the conditions Of actual battle. It Is
the corporals and sergeants who are
the real steadying influences in fight
They know the characteristics OF the
individual privates in way that the
commissioned officers can never know
them and are prepared to give calm
ing word to this or that one when the
emergency arises. In my own expert
ence l have known a private who had
served three enlistments to take
charge of a company in a charge, and
the officers and non-coms we're very
glad to leave it to him. After the scrap
was over he became private once
more, but while that row was on, so
far as actual influence with the men
was concerned, he was of great deal
more importance than his captain. The
way that man would wriggle' into
cover was a revelation and he went
through three campaigns without a
scratch. His example in the regiment
was big asset
There has been much discussion of
bravery in battle since the war start
ed. According to my experience it is
very much matter Of temperament.
Some men are carried along by a sort
Of ecstasy, others hold themselves to
the work by sheer force of will, while
others. and those are the best, go
through fight with a sort Of grim in.

less OF peril. One of these profound
influences is battle. 1t is said that men
In battle will hug the bottom of the
trenches because they are taught by
military experts to do so. but after
the baptism of fire they care for moth
ing, and will risk their lives to gain
comfort.
There are stories going the rounds
OF fighters In Europe who have left
the trenches and walked through a
hail Of bullets and shells after an over
coat or after food. These men knew
nothing about death. They did know
q lot about discomfort. They knew
when they<were thirsty they were ter
ribly uncomfortable. They knew when
they we're cold they suffered.
When the German cruiser Koenigs-
berg was driven into a river on the
African coast and bottled up there by
superior force of English ships. it
is reported that the Germans threw
up trenches In the vicinity Of the Koe-
nigsberg. from which they fought the
British. From thei. place of security
among the palm trees they kept any
landing force Of marines from getting
near them.
Although they were securely in
