. HERE is nothing very literary
about the average mans con-
cention Oh the CnSSack This


ception on the Cossack. This
formidable individual is ordi-
narily looked upon as a member of
an elite, redoubtable, savage cavalry,
who are absolutely insensible to any
such emotion as fear. And, to be
sure, the present war has provided
both ample opportunity for the test
ing of that fearlessness and proof of
its steadfast refusal to be intimidated.
The Cossacks have faced every MUIR
derous resource of the twentieth cen
fury science with the same courage
that has distinguished them from
their earliest days, writes DR.. |. Gold
berg in the Boston Transcript.
Their fire, their spirit, their abso-
Lutte recklessness through fire, water
and steel are those of military COM
munity which at one time babe fair to
become a nation all it's own. but the
role of a modern, purely warrior state
was left by history for the Prussia of
Frederick the Second.
War. however, endangers literature;
the warrior needs a Homer for his
Had. And so, if the Cossacks have
themselves been too busy fighting to
have time for the production of any
thing but rude literature, they have,
on the other hand, inspired genuine
works of art in England, France, Rus
STA, Poland. The last-named country
owes very much indeed to the inspi-
ration of the wild men of the steppes.
The original meaning of the word
"cossack" is that of free marauder,
brigand, nomad. THE Steppe," says
Gabriel Earrazin, in his work on the
great romantic poets of Poland, EN-
genders Cossacks." Here, in the mid
die ages was the place Of refuge for
all manner of criminals, vagabonds,
refugees and fugitives, who banded to-
gether into a confederation.

ESSENTIAL OF PEACE
DISCUSSED IN LONDON

London, Dec. 16.-The first essential
of peace, in the opinion of the nation
is that both sides shall concede the
right to independence of all nations.
Commenting on Germany's peace Of
fer the Nation says
The test will come when our ans
wer is known and Germany has to de-
eide whether she will modify her of
fer and come nearer to our position.
The real onus for the continuation Of
the war will rest on the side which
maintains any demand which would
be fatal to the independence and flu
ture of any belligerent.
If Germany, for instance. has real
~ claimed Serbia as her pdey, she has
Included at least one point which con-
victs her of either unbelievable stu
pidity or mere insincerity and, If the
claim is maintained, precludes further
discussion. But even to an offer In
Guiding such a point our answer must
be reasoned and precise. We shall
lose nothing in the worlds court Of
honor by rejecting that claim but let
US not lose sight of our guiding prin-
ciple that this war is waged for the
ending of militarism If Germany
made claim involving the destruct-
ion of an independent nation the war
is not yet morally won. Her repudia-
ton of all such claims will be the test
of her sincerity"

LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS NEAR
Democrats Of Both Houses 10 Arrange
for Organization on Following
Day.

Richmond, Jan. 4-On next Tues
day in Richmond the Democrats in
both houses of the General Assembly
of Virginia will hold their biennial
caucuses for the nomination-and
their election-of officers and clerks
who will constitute the working ma
chinery of the Legislature of 1916.
For the moment the caucus over
shadows in interest the thousand other
things that will come before both
houses during their sixty-day session
In the Senate this is particularly true
because the caucus, through the chair
man, which it elects, appoints the
Steering Committee which, in turn,
appoints the standing committees for
the term.
Since William Hodges Mann left
the Senate to become Governor OF
Virginia, Senator George 7. Rison,
of Chatham, has been regularly elect
ed chairman of the Democratic eau
Gus in the upper house. He is the To-
gical candidate for the office this
year. The single disquieting factor is
the fact that Mr.. Rison has in the past
been pronounced in his opposition to
certain radical prohibitory legislation,
which has held the center of the stage
during the past two or three sessions.
His connection with this school OF
thought, it is conjectured, may lead
the Senate's positive "dry" majority
to shift the toga to other shoulders.
Mapp, of Accomac, is likely candi-
date for the craftsmanship.
1t is not regarded as likely, how
ever, that the Senate will make q
change. While exactly half of the
Senate this term is new, the hold-over
members WELD strong influence and
it is the common belief that Senator
Rison will again he chosen to head
the caucus.
In the House, Delegate Harry r.
Houston, of Hampton, who was The
chairman of last years caucus, is
looked upon as the most promising
speakership candidate, and will
therefore, not be chosen to head
the caucus this year. Among those
most prominently mentioned for this
honor is Delegate George L. Brown
ing, of Orange, who, also has speak
ership aspirations.
