according to the Abbo MoreauX, even
those seasoned men, in the presence
Of the new and formidable dangers OF
scientific warfare, showed no more
fortitude than the young recruits who
rad had only a few months Of prep
aration before facing the enemy.
Abbo Moreux is Of the opinion that
the war itself has developed all the
latent fortitude Of the race, and he
expects that the generation that has
suffered his war will find itself with
new resources created by 1t. The SEN

reasons The first of which is that
some of them do not believe in dan

of optimistic fatality that gives them
a feeling of security In other cases
these naturally brave men. even when
they believe in danger, are not init
mated by it because they have in
their own minds already made the
sacrifice of their life; once that con
clusion reached-to die or to be
wounded is something that does not
torment them.
Others and perhaps the great ma
polity, are neither those that are in
different to death nor those who be-
lieyc in their lucky star; they are
men who see before them other more
powerful images than that of death,
such as the fatherland, sense OF duty,
Of honor. renown Of the regiment
ambition to earn praise or promotion
pride at being admired by ones COM
radcs, and shame at being taken for
coward. In nearly all these cases
the idea of death and danger disap-
pears and the soldier is brave without
effort. He forgets every risk that he
is taking in the presence Of the image
that he has in his mind.
The number of these naturally
brave men is notably larger In day

According to Scientists Who
Make a Study of Fear and
Courage.

PARIS, Aug. 12.-The discussion Of
courage as developed by the war and
rs manifested by individual soldiers
under fire, has drawn some Interest,"
ing contributions from Dr. Charles
Richet, Of the French Institute and
the Able MoreauX. director Of the
Bourges observatory.
Dr.. Richet is Of the opinion that
fear and courage must be considered
separately, that the former exists in
certain temperaments alongside the
latter, that a man may be unable to
control the terrifying effect Of dan
gerous situation upon his physical
faculties and yet stand his ground in
the face of almost certain death
through the exercise Of his will These
men he considers the bravest of all.
Among the soldiers who hold their
ground under mrderous fire, there
are always some who arc afraid and
others who are not, says Or. Richet,
but all prove their bravery by still
being there; the towards have fed,
Belief is COntrOvCrted.
Considering the whole war; taking
into account the atrocious features
that have developed here and there
and with all allowance made for oc-
casional weaknesses, Dr. Richet con-
slders that the soldiers have shown
heroism that justlfes a great deal OF
pride on the part Of the present gen
Grafton, in spite OF the belief that
seemed to prevail before the great con-
Nict that intellectual development with
progress in science, letters and arts,
while ennobling the mind, has dimin-
Ished personal courage.
The question was frequently dis
cussed as to whether the delicate and
eubtle culture Of later years was not
going to produce a tame-spirited and
pffeminate generation, preferring we'll
being to arduous effort and incapable
Of comprehending the beauty of sac
rfice. 1t is exactly the contrary that

DIR. Richet; the most cultivated and
refined Of the young men of France
and Great Britain having been those
who have shown the greatest bravery

French universities, students Of Elton,
