By ROBERT ADGeR BOWEN ~
Of the Wigi|antes

There is need to utter word Of
warning and protest to those loyal
ones among us who, by some per-
verse quality Of sincerity. some in
herent tendency to pessimlsm, are
constantly sounding the note that
Germany delights to hear. The recent
great thrust Of the German armies
has given these croakers fresh stlmu-
lus. In their hearts, though they
know 1t not, though they deny 1t
Indignantly when SO accused, they
have accepted defeat-they are al
ready whipped. ~
Could Germany ask for more than
the spreading of this unwarranted at.
titude of mind? It is the subtlest, the
most poisonous Of all forms Of the
multiferious German propaganda-the
killing Of faith and hope and deter.
mination to win. "They shall not
pass!'' said the French at Verdun.
These souls say: "They have passed!
See how the British have fallen back ="
These are not 'quitters" in other
matters. They are not In any sense
consciously pro-Ger1nan even in this
matter. They are, however, obsessed
by the everlasting drip of the German
idea of German efficiency. The thing
to them has become an imponderable,
foreseen conclusion. It blinds them
to any vision beyond the actual facts
Of Germany's military attainments.
Il blinds them to the military attai1
ments of the allies. The spirit of !.
vincibility-the invincible spirit Is not
theirs. "4...
This spirit we need. There is no
doubt of that. The man. or the ma.
ton that goes all the way, that goes
any part Of the way to meet defeat
is already beaten. Though this spirit
of pessimism cannot even be consid-
cred as a rift in the lutte Of the ma.
TONS unity Of faith and purpose, yet,
inasmuch as It exists to any extent, It
is to be- deplored. For the feeling:

with other sentiments insidiously IA.

companies it that stubborn, narrow
prejudice, so shamefully unworthy OF
US, against England, existing against
all the evidences Of fact and reason
and gratitude nasty slur that
England lodges her share of the
fighting, that the English are not
fighters, that England leaves 1t to
France to save the day-so far, as 1t
Is saved!
There is something peculiarly la.
mentable in this distorted viewpoint.
Disastrous Thoughts it would be to
