Crookback to rise above the super stitions of the soul, and cynicaily declare that "Conscience is a word that towards use to keep the strong in awe, if we interpret ill that passage the play upon the nerves for the idea of "con3cience".
 Reverting tc the Huns, the Goths themselves lent strength to the peculiar methods Of the spectacular and warlike, personal and military idea of frightfulness tneHuns sought to inculcate. They spread the super stition that the Huns originated from the hateful witches who fed to the deserts and who bred with the daemons of the wilderness and created this savage tribe of crueit> incarnate
 To spread this notion was the delight of alI the Coths in order to disparage t.eir terrible enemy. What they did do was in reality to increase the superstit;ous awe of the cruel fee that drove them south wards with such relentless fe-Ocity.
 The advisabiiity of the policy O. frightfulness may well be doubted as ii apparently is doubted by a number of Germans themselves. They have not only manifested op- position to it at home, but they have entered very positive denial even in the face of the most Ob- vious facts. abroad.
 It may excite fear, but it is stll more calculated to rouse determin- ation. and it is not unlikely that the reason for a world in arrls to- day can be psychologically explain ed as due in no small measure to the fact that quite number who might approve German methods in other respects have no use what ever for the policies which they have adopted with the deliberate intention of exciting terror and pro stration following on that terror ill their foes
 The fact is that human bein@s are advancing beyond the stage when the policy of frightfulness can be tolerated in any phase Of society. The almost fanatic deter imitation 10 improve the world, iH- dustrially. politicall,, socially, isl mekirs humanity immune to the pos ible success of this policy. The Do Hey of frightfulncss belongs to c past age and it's success has not warranted it's otherwise under standable application in this war
 To be completely successful it was necessary that the Germans could devise strange instruments, remarkable discoveries not access ible to the enemies of the Central Powers, but they can do no such thing. "The yillainy that they teach ! them the Allies may execute, and it aill gc hard with :hem put they will better the instruction" to pa raphrase Shylock.
 h fact we see this being done. The Germans use gas; the Allies have devised an improved appIica- tion oi this principle in war: the Germans used liquid fire the Allies have been able to so improve this that the Germans have practically abandoned it.
