This Is No Time for Pessimism

TT is unwelcome news that we have from
! Europe. Russia is again paralyzed, and
her armies are in state of panic. Germany
has called out her final reserves more than
100000 men between the ages of sixteen
and eighteen. Italy announces that she must
have enormous quantities OF coal, else her Of
fensive must collapse. The U-boat losses con-
tinue to mount higher and higher.
These things discourage and depress us for
the moment The front pages of our news
papers reflect only gloom. and in the hearts of
many millions Of Americans whose sons and
brothers are about to throw themselves into
the fight there is keen, if silent distress They
had hoped that Russia had finally found her
self and would carry her share of the burden
henceforward. They had hoped that the
German mlitarsm against which we are bat
ting was weakening. They had prayed that
few, If any, of our boys would have to be
sacrificed.
But. after all, the outlook is not as bad
as 1t may seem. We must not forget that
Germany has troubles of her own, deep-seated
troubles at that. Her manhood is slowly
but surely. being ground TO dust, and, soon
or late. her weeping women and her wailing
men must force her autocrats to surrender
their power. Austria is still racked by hunger
and disease and internal dissension OF Bull
CARA we know little. and of Turkey we know
less, but neither be in a healthy con-
dition. The French armies have stood like
adamant against the crown princes assaults
Canada is about to adopt the draft and
other British colonies will follow suit Our
crops are fine and our business finer
we must not be appalled, because OF tenn
porary reverses Russia came back once with
shout and fury that swept the Austro-
German forces before them. Already the
Teutons are preparing their people for bad
tidings by stating frankly that they have not
enough men to keep up their Galician drive
we may reasonably expect Russia to pull her
self together again, and perhaps Kerensky's
promised rule OF Iron and blood" will vet
restore the morale Of the Russian forces. We
must not allow ourselves to be downcast in
the face OF disappointments abroad. They
Will pass, just as others have passed

| In the American Magazine Thomas
e. Wilson, the Chicago packer, says:
II often ask a man why he is doing
thing a certain way IL he tells me
that be does it that way because it has
always been done just like that ! am
inclined to be somewhat dubious about
his ability. Not infrequently the fact
that custom has been in force for thirty
years is sufficient proof that 1t is wrong
We should be constantly on the lookout
for better ways of doing things. Any
business not showing constant advance
ment usually deteriorates. Individual
positions are no exceptions.
"0ne Of the great foes to good or
ganizatlon is the practice of promoting
by seniority alone John Smith is moved
into vacancy because he has been in
the department longer than some other
fellow. This plan permits an inferior
man to block the way of a good man.
There should be no rules about promo.
ton which can In any way hamper the
selection of the best man for a place.
In fact. do not like TO have too many
rules about anything, Rules tend to
make people follow custom without
knowing why and without using much
initiative
