MORALE

Morale" is defined as "a state o.
mind, particularly in reference TO con
fidcnce, courage hope and zeal, usec
especially of body of persons asso,
ciated in a common enterprise"
We usually think Of morale in con
nection with the army or navy, but i,
is just as essontion tothe rest of the
nation.
In ono Of the cartoons Of the French
artist Forain he shows two character
istic "polius" in a trench. The follow
ing conversation ensues:
I'VE win win the war II they only
only hold out"
IF who holds out ?"
1.-THE civilian population"
We need not worry about the
morale Of our army and navy, but
the army and navy has good right
10 worry about US.
As people we are not aroused.
We are not fully alive as TO what the
war means or what German victory
