THI. BETTER WAT. !.

In the acrimony that has started since the war began between the various nations, it is worth netting shat it is the nou-combatants ~ho rs1o have been the bitterest III their 3lake of the enemy.
 M-Giu, whose story of the Great pash was the first really great story written about actual war by an ac- anal fighter comments with some gentle sarcasm concerning the bit ssrpnss and the hate which was noticeable not in the trenches bu : in the comfortable drawing rooms Of the English well-to-do, comfort ably at home and not altogether fiuding the war profitless In and between the trenches there was no such sentiment and if the men had to tight, they fought as part of their duty, fiercely and violently but with out malice to the foe.
 Very recently in England there was an instance which will bear out all this After the German torpedo destroyer fotilla had made an in affective raid upon Dover and had lost 10 the British torpedo destroyer squadron. many of the German sailors who had gone down with their ship were washed ashore. The
 
 e5sh comrades and enemies, each one wrapped in the flag of his native sa1gl. and wrcathes placed upon each from the Admiral of the Eng flyA squadron signed "Fo a brave and gallant enemy. There was no malice; not bitterness. but sympathy for the men who bravcly played and brayely lost.
 No higher tribute could be paid fo the courage of the British seamcn shan this tribute which they paid with an entire absence of bitterness 10 the German sailors. For 1t IS unly the cowardly and those posses -set of abiding fear of an enemy fhai can discover no good in those wbo oppose them.
 It is a great pity that human be- Kngs would not more carefully con slider the facts of those emotions which they manifest, and how such expose really what they would above all things conceal.
 It required no professional psychologist to explain that when a Hymn of Hate is written, favored ard sung concerning any nation, il betrays the fact that those who do. sare in mortal fear of that nation. Anli when hate, bitterness and accu- sasions without any attempt to exte- nuate are permitted, it is sign 1Raf those who indulge in these emotional manifestations are merely rnanifesting the fact that the enemy rhat they attack by word and by writings is one who has occasioned got a little dread.
 II is because the men fighting in Jne trenches are practically devoid ct fear of the enemy they will be without bitterness and without hate of the enemy. It is because the British admiral and his sailors do not fear the German navy and it's sailors that they are ready to pay ID the bravery of the sailors last tribute always due to brave and gal ,an1 enemies.
 When papers in the United Stat es devoted themselves wholly and en- tirely to cultivating hate of Ger. many, it was because they had a wholesome fear of German brow sn<s. and when pro-German literature circulated in the United States cx- s:lusively devoted it's pages to bitter =.nd vindictive attacks against sfreat Britain as the country wheEce .ontd come nothing of good, it mere sy revealed the fact that as Ger mans or Germanists they feared and dreaded Great Britain above all other foes They unconsciously paid n tribute to the might. the daring and the resourcefulness of that >snnmy who had to be thus attacked in order that they might keep up 1hejr own courage.
 Similarly when the British com vuanders in Dublin devoted them
