ONE CANNOT WIN If HE FEELS
THAT HE is WHIPPED BEFORE
THE FIGHT BEGINS

Premeier Clemeceau, in his speech
before the French chamber Of depu-
ties said one thing that is as true ar
gospel
This is what he said;
"Tn all wars he is the cOnquerOr
who can believe that he is not beaten
a quarter of an hour longer than his
adversary.
One cannot win any sort of battle
if he feels that he is whipped before
the battle begins He will not be
strengthened or electrified if the band
plays a funeral march. He will not be
enthused if some one at the head of
the military affairs committee makes
a great speech and tells them that
the military establishment has fallen
down" His fighting humOr will not
be increased if he picks up a news
paper or magazine and reads an edi
torial utterance saying that the Ger
imam submarines are destroying ouI
ships three times faster than we car
build them.
These kind of utterances democrat
ize an army and if they are persisted
in disaster and chaos will ensue.
That is what is the matter will
Russia today. She is without brave
and manly leaders.
An army to win victories must b,
made to feel that it is invincible. Tina
was the psychology and explanation
for Napoleon's wonderful exploits

sons men.
The leaders must have implicit
faith in the valor and invincibility o
Their troops and the troops must have
confidence in the skill and courage o
their leaders.
The New York World truly says
Wars are won by man-power; they
are won by financial and industrial
power; they are won by artillery anC
aeroplanes and ships and by com
.mand of the sea: but without the will
to win there can be no victory

peace on Germany's terms. Pan-Ger
manism boasts that the road to India
is now open to the Central Powers,
and while the boast may be idle. it
represents the kind of braggart prOpa-
ganda that always stimulates large
elements of the German people whose
God is military prestige.
THE initiative has temporarily
passed into the hands of Germany.
The German Staff can dictate its own
spring offensive, striking at the Allied
forces in Salonica continuing the
Italian campaign or undertaking the
much-advertised drive on the western
front There has been no time during
the war in which the General Staff
could more logically employ its favor
tie fOrmula-"Look at the map"
THE map tells much; yet it con.
ceals much. 1t tells of Belgium and
Northern France; it tells of Roumania
and Serbia and great provinces of
Russia; it tells of Northeastern Italy;
but it tells nothing of the sea-power
! that holds Prussianism a prisoner in
Europe and that cannot be broken. II
tells nothing of the spirit of the Al
lied lines on the western front which
have held for three years and which
will continue to hold
1T is easy to be pessimistic II is
!, easy to believe and to assimlate every
fragment of irresponsible gossip. II
. is easy TO whine and grumble and
complain, and depression is one of the
symptoms of war-weariness. This is
part of every great conflict. But like
wise it is just as easy to believe in
victory as in defeat if we want vic
tory and are determined to have it
, In the long run, that is what will give
the impulse to the last supreme effort
1.-THE Civil War was not won until
the Northern armies in Grant found
a commander who stopped regarding
Lees troops as a breed of supermen
This war will not be won until the
American people stop regarding them
selves as the military inferior of the
Germans and definitely make up their
minds that they are going in to win
the war whether it takes one year OF
five years more That is the spirit
that will compel victory.

An automobile containing a family
who have been spending nearly a year
at Wauchula, passed through Ocala
yesterday on their way back to Ari-
IONA. They said that they would re-
turn next year and cast their stakes
in Marion county, for its farms looked
like the genuine article. We are go
ing to attract a whole army of new
settlers if we can ever once get them
to give us an inspection. All we need
is just looking over.

A PRAYER

Let me do my work each day: and
if the darkened hours of despair over
come me, may l not forget the
strength that comforted me in the des-
Olation of other times May | still
remember the bright hours that found
me walking over the silent hills of
childhood, or dreaming on the mar
gin of the quiet river when a light
glowed within me, and ! promised my
early God to have courage amid the
tempests of the changing years. Spare
me from bitterness and from the
sharp passions of unguarded moments.
May ! not forget that poverty and
riches are of the spirit. Though the
world knows me not, may my thoughts
and actions be such as shall keep me
friendly with myself Lift my eyes
from the earth and let me not forget
the uses of the stars. Forbid that
should judge others, est / condemn
myself. Let me not follow the clamor
of the world, but walk calmly in my
path. Give me a few friends who
will love me for what / am and keep
burning before my vagrant steps the
kindly light Of hope And though
age and infrmity overtake me. and 1
come not within sight Of the castle OF
my dreams, teach me still to be
thankful for life, and for times olden
memories that are good and sweet,
and may the evenings twilight find
me getler still-Joe Earman.
