hiah Individual Morale.

The q why morale Is necessary
In times Of peace as well az in war is
that the morale Of no army can be
higher than the individual morale Of
the men. declares San Antonio Light.
Therefore tho very best soldiers are
those recruited from civil life who
have every day morale-the men who
do things. who stand fearlessly for
what they believe to be right. who
are undismayed by opposition and ap-
parent defeat. and who accept life's
tribulatlons calmly. patiently and with
f0rtitude.
Men Of that stripe cannot be stam-
peded or confused In military affairs.
once they have been trained as SOL
diers, just as In everyday life they
cannot be kept down by circumstances.
They are individually invincible and
hence when organized into an army,
they are militarily iEvincible.
Therefore when you read Of an army
OF q military unit with Z high morale
you know that the men In the ranks
and the officers v them are men Of
strong, dominant courage who meet
death calmly In the discharge Of their
military duty and who cannot be rout-
ed o overawed by the enemy, but
must be vanQuished. II ct all, By tight
ing.
