What War Does.

B'cr those who go to war the victory
is not always to the strong nor the
race to the swift. One of the seeming
iy paradoxical things taught by the
conflict between the states was that
recruits who seemed to the ordinary
observer to be too frail and small to
stand the rigors of war almost uni
formly developed into tough and reli-
able soldiers often more so than their
bulky and athletic brethren. The test
or the battlefield has proved that
many a man who had been timid and
considered himself a coward was in
reality braver than the swashbuckler
who had sneered at him back home.
Men who have been disgraceful fail
ures in civil life have been converted
In the fire of war into leaders of high
ability.
