WAR CHANGES ATTITUDE
OF MEN TOWARD DEATH
Flippant Callousness Displayed by Sol
diers as They Gather Up Shat
tered Limbs in Sacks.

London, Jan. 1-One of the most re-
markable of the many phenomena result
ing from the war, both among the SOL
diers at the front and the people at home
is the change in their attitude toward
death. 1t is a mistake, however. to re-
gard 1t as a sign of indifference The
real cause is to be sought in the nations
development of the virtues of fortitude
and endurance.
prominent officer has just described
"a curious feature of the mentality of the
soldiers in regard to death. In the
trenches during a battle, or afterwards
on stricken field, when they go out to
gather up in sacks the shattered limbs
and fragments of their comrades for bu-
rial. they often exhibit what on the sur
face appears to be an almost flippant cal
lousness. but curiously enough, these
same men when a friend dies at the base
In hospital will frequently sob like "a
child.
Undoubtedly there has developed a re-
markable disregard of danger amongst
all ranks, even when discretion would
have been the better part Of valor. Many
regiments, whose casualties have been
particularly heavy, have a reputation OF
being "all out" for honors-y. C.'s and
the like. p"

Several Hundred Delegates,
Representing All Sections,
May Provide Speakers to
Stump Various States for
Democratic Nominees.

Elaborate plans designed to aid the
national democratic committee in a
very material way in the coming Pres
idential campaign will be formulated
by the Woman's National Democratic
League at the fourth annual conven-
tion Of the organization, to be held
on Friday and Saturday at the New
Willard.
In addition to preparing plans for
the raising of an enormous fund to
help finance the democratic campaign,
the women also probably will arrange
to furnish forceful speakers to stump
various doubtful States
The convention will be the biggest
ever held by the league. There will be
several hundred delegates, represent
ing all sections OF the country. For
the first time there will be a delega-
tion from California The delegates
will be the wives of prominent Demo
cratic Senators, Representatives, diplo-
mats and government officials.
Final arrangements for the conven-
ton will be formulated at a meeting
of the executive board of the league,
to be held on Tuesday morning at
Congress Hall Hotel.
Sessions will be held on Friday and
Saturday mornings, commencing prob
ably at IL o'clock. The session on Fri
will be addresses by prominent men
and women leaders in the Democratic
fold. Mrs. William A. Cullop, wife of
Representative Cullop. of Indiana, and
president of the league. will preside
An elaborate musical program will be
presented.
The session on Saturday morning
will be closed to the public and will be
devoted almost exclusively to bust
ness. Reports of standing and special
committees will be presented and Of
ficers for the ensuing year will be
elected.
Because of the successful regime of
Mrs. Cullop and her co-workers, 1t is
not believed there will be any opposi-
tion to the present officers, and it is
expected the regular ticket will be
overwhelmingly elected.

France.
Paris, Jan. lin my opinion the war
will not last more than five or six
months ionger-perhaps till the end of
the SUMMER. I am neither a pessimist
nor an Optimist. base my conclusions
upon reason.
The philosophy Of history proves never
has humanity, arrayed against barbar-
ism, failed to triumph in the end. Ger
many has practically all the world
against her. Her material resources are
diminishing more and more rapidly. The
misery Of her population is greater, and
it Is generally known her money sup
ply is gone. On the other hand, in
France we have far greater reserve in
men than Germany, all the munitions
we want, the necessaries OF life are
abundant and there remains an amazing
amount Of money In the famous woolen
stockings of the peasants, even after the
tremendous success of the national loan.
Germany can never strike again as
strongly as she has struck. We nc
longer fear her attacks. She has shot
her bolt. Germany cannot afford to
stand still, but every day, whether of
action or inaction, on her part, makes
her position worse. She cannot con-
quer us, so what good can she derive
from another great offensive?

Paris, Jan. 1.-Unless the allies commit
new political or military blunders of
grave character, the war will end in 1916.
1t already has been greatly prolonged by
mistakes.
The central powers. have won impor-
tant advances. They occupy an immense
area of hostile territory, but all their
successes have not advanced them one
iOta toward final victory. Their position,
from a military standpoint, is far worse
than in the beginning.
America could enter the war for the
sake of her self-respect and honor She
only can make economic war upon the
central empires, which would be more
effective than q war with cannon and
rifles, and she could greatly shorten the
struggle and spare the world the con-
tinued deluge of blood that otherwise
must flow.
