PESSIMISTIC.
Harry NJ. Smyth in the Bristol
Herald Courier.)

Since our entrance into the war by
what must have been an "inspircd
consensus of utterance," American
newspapers and periodicals have per-
sistently knocked the war situation
prcsumbabsy with II view to "encour-
age war preparation and to educate
our people up to Il pitch of desper-
ate determination to endure all kinds
of horrors and all degrees of priva-
lions.
1t is easy to see that this prclmi-
nary campaign has been Il dismal fail
ure, for young men who two months
ago were chock full of enthusiasm for
service are now applying for positions
as bandage bearers for the Red
Cross or watchmen in the factories.
1t was not only II mistake, but Il
plain and patent lie for an eX-Ambas-
sador to announce that Germany was
ut the apex of her power" after the
loss of three million of her best
troops, every rod of her foreign ter
ritories, all her merchant marine con-
fiscated and her fleet bottled up in
the Kiel canal. was bastard inn
pulse to warn America that the man
power of France and England was
practically exhausted, while confront
cd by "a Power with twelve millions
of soldiers in prime condition." 1t
was useless and fatuous blunder to
cXagggeratc the destruction wrought
by the submarines, when no intclli-
gent critic OIL earth has ever believed
that this forlorn hope of the Central
Powers had ever a hope of affecting
more than II delay Of their inevitable
doom.
Latterly this army of knockers
with the alien German mercans to
applaud, have made the Russian sit
uation their piece de resistance" and
have worked it from every angle
from separate peace TO an ailila-
ton with Austria and an entente
with Turkey.
They are beginning now, it is hop
ed, to see their stupid blundcr. IL is
not nice thing to say, but they have
done more to dampcn the enthusiasm
of our people than all the wild and
flambuoyant claims set up in this
country by the German propaganda.
because much of this stulr is known
to come from patriotic Americans,
whose hearts may be right, but whose
heads are Of bone. They have i'm
pressed our young men with the de
pressing pessimism of their own real
or assumed timidity, and instead of
the "clan" and eXuberancc of two
months ago, they will go into the con-
ilict with tagging steps.
If there is Il shortage of registra-
ton, or the gloom Of premonition in
the training camps, the writers of
these screeds and revelations and
croaks will be responsible. A man
will deliberately instill into the minds
of young soldiers the fear of death
and certainty of enduring hardships,
takes from him his best defense
against both. He should be shot,

less actively conducted i'm this cOun-
try than in Russia and in every coun-
try in Europe to which the agents and
dupes of the imperial German Gov
eminent can get access. That Gov
eminent has many spokesman here, in
places high and low. They have
learned discretion. They keep with
IN the law. 1t is opinion they utter
now, not sedition. They proclaim the
liberal purposes of their masters; de-
clare this goreign war which can
touch America with no danger TO
either her lands OF her institutions:
set England at the center of the stare
and talk of her ambition to assert
economic dominion throughout the
world; appeal TO our ancient tradi-
ton of isolation in the politics of the
nations, and seek to undermine the
Government with false professions of
loyalty TO its principles.

plainly seen than in the United
States, where we are accustomed to
deal with facts and not with sophis-
tries; and the treat fact that stands
out above all the rest is that this is n
peoples war, war for freedom and
justice and self-gOvernment amongst
all the nations of the world, a war TO
make the Owrld safe for the peoples
who live upon it and have made il
their own, the German people them
selves included, and that with us rests
the choice to break through all these
hypocrasies and patent cheats and
masks of brute force and help set
the. world free, or else stand aside
and let it be dominated long age
through by sheer weight of arms and

tuted masters, by the nation which
