fail to pay the tribute of sheepish smile

with mystic maneuvres and finally de-
coyed the pride of the Kaiscr's fleet to
disaster off Dogger Bank.
The "Suicide Squadron" they called it,
yet Of it's fourteen units only one went
the hara-kiri route before the experiment,
having served it's purpose, was abandoned

cannot win now against equal material
resources unless the spirit fails tho one
and inspires the other.
We are living in discomfort, inconven-
ience, approximate hardship; but what of
it? 1t is a test Of our courage, endurance,
loyalty; it is test of our spirit; il we fail,
the war is lost; if we hold it is won. In
tact, we can now lose an assured victory
only if, like the Russians in Galicia last
spring, we flee the field of victory
This is one Of the great crises of the
war, assuredly. It is one Of the great tests
of the spirits Of peoples. The German says
his spirit his method, his ideal arc best
because they are strongest He says that
his brutalites, his crimes, his offences
against civilization are justified because
they weaken the foes and unite the friends.
But is this true?
We are all Of us at war with Germany,
every man and woman, whatever the post
or station we hold Each must help to
victory; each can aid defeat by doubt, by
fear, by hesitation, by fixing his eyes be-
yond the battle to be fought, upon respites
never earned without effort
1t is time for courage, for hope. 1t
is time for each man to win his share of
the battle, each woman to conquer her
part of the field. We are not merely in a
military but even more in a moral sense
the reserves of civilization. We are lust
going under fire. We have to make "the
charge that wins the day" Shall we fail
those who have fought, shall we forsakc
those who are trying to fight. shall we
doubt before we have dared?
