The Spiritual Victory Assured.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: / wish 70 add few words Of appre-
citation TO the abundant praise already elected
by your editorial of December p, give la
Frsnce!"
This free and fervid expression Of opinion
has found a ready echo in the hearts Of those
who, from the beginning have recognized
France as the protagonist In the Fate Drama
now playing on the battlefeds of Europe.
Il has also quite naturally revived the an
tagonism OF those spirits who. in the years
Just preceding the war, delighted to assemble,
like demonstrators In anatomy, around what
they asserted to be the cadayer OF the French
nation, that they might lay bare the secrets
of the decay and death Of the Latin civiliza-
ton These thinkers, II not animated by
hatred, were. at least, Jealous of their own
theories They were, therefore, slow and
disinclined to believe In the patient, silent
heroism Of France, since 20 acknowledge
these qualities In action would be TO con-
Tess France still animated by life and en-
ergy and 70 argue themselves wrong. In
making such acknowledgements they would
be forced 10 recognize reversion TO type,
since the virtues Of nineteenth century
France point backward 70 the Romans OF the
Republican period
But at the present moment the most stub
born detractor Of the Latins must allow that
two ancestral ideals have calmly and clearly
risen In the French consciousness from the
sublimral regions where, through century
after century OF feudaism absolutsm and
tyranny. they were confined at long inter
walls, bursting out with sharp revolution
only to be thrust back again into chaos.
The first Of these ideals is represented by
the word "patra," which for the highest
minded OF the Latns has always had spe-
cial significance as a personality, a vital
presence an imponderable influence, rather
than as a well defined place visible 10 the
eye and associated with all that makes life
pleasant and comfortable. The family and
the home the living and the material -
these are most sacred things for other races,
but by the pure Latin the more subtle "patria"
is exalted above the passion Of love and Is
made the companion Of religion.
The second ideal IS symbolized in the term
"res Vublica." that Is. the social contract

Where noble men died hard without a

Who turn their eyes to heaven, yet would

To cut the throat Of our democracy?
