THE THING THE ozRMAN DOES BEST

Our men have seen the German sol
der in action. No longer are they
dealing with the German estimate Of
himself as he reports it through the
propaganda system. Instead they arc
dealing with the German as he secs
himself--as he must see himself, when
In the language of Secretary Baker,
there is no "shell-prcof connotation."
And the judgment Of our men is that
the best thing the German does is to
runway from the enemy.
II would be a boastful, vainglorious
chivalry-lacking adversary who would
deny to the German certain qualities
of courage. There is ample testimony
10 his heToism, as the distorted Teu-
tonic mind conceiyes it.
But the guperm6n has collapsed
collapsed completely.
1t is patent to all now that the Ger
man propaganda was intended fer
bone consumption just az much as bor
foreign. The leaders Of the nlilftar-
astic movement in Germany foresaw
Che need of heightening the courage of
the German troops, 50 they pro-
claimed far and wide stories of the
valor Of the Germans and Of the I'M
possibility of defeating the military
aims Of the Empire.
The German troops caught some
hing Of the spirit behind The propa-
ganda. They tried to be valorous.
But they have begun to see that they
we're driven forward by lies, Not only
10 they no longer credit the impossi-
bility of defeat, but they must foresee
the certainty of it.

WHY RUSSIA COLLAPSED

the Commander in Chief, represented
in the person saluted. In a demo-
cratic country like the United States,
the Commander in Chief is the Presi-
dent of the United States, and as the
President is selected by the will Of the
people Of the country, and represents
the wishes of the majority Of voters,
the soldier is saluting the head of the
government which he himself helped
70 elect. And If you salute a power
which you yourself created, are you
not saluting the Commander in Chief
which you yourself selected and put
into power? He is the leader You
chose, and the officers he has selected
TO carry out his wishes in the army
are serving him, and the Nation, US is
the man who salutes. And the re-
turn of the salute by the officer
acknowledges your willingness to
obey the orders of the President, and
the people of the Nation.
The salute is the sign between
brothers in arms, both serving the
same leader.
The salute is what holds an army
together, and gives it the ability TO
win.

And they turn and run.
There is an old by-word, Dutch
Courage" 1t is q libel, a cruel libel,
on the brave people Of Holland. But
SO fur as TIE Germans arc concerned,
il is the truth.
Dutch courage, meaning German
courage, was the product OF the slim
illus Of strong drink. Dutch courage,
meaning German courage, on the field
OF battle was the product Of the slim
uius Of strong words and the prodding
OF men in the ranks with sharpeaed
sabers and loaded pistols in the hands
Of their officers.
But there was nothing behind the
words and the proddings save the
dream Of world domination.
The German has reacted strongly,
he has turned and run.
Our men are in hot pursuit. They
can run too.
But our men always run with their
faces towards the enemy.
The cowardice manifested on the
battlefield by the Germans and their
ability to negotiate 100 yards in no
seconds Eat" to get away from the
Yanks. has caused a revision Of meth
DDS employed on the rife ranges in
many Of the training camps in this
country. Until the Yanks met the
Germans and put them TO flight, tar
gets shaped like Huns, with faces
front, were iii use. The targets have
been turned around so as to train
American soldiers to shoot at the
backs Of scared sprintcrs.

What conquered Russian

What conquered Russia?
The German army did not do it.
A simple little order did it-at least
On order which sounded simple 1t
was an order that made the soldiers

last IN their grasp. In fact, il was the
order~zxlsiefI reduced the army to a
mob, and the nation to a helpless mass
Of people unable to prevent Germany
from gaining control of 1t.
What was the order?
1t was this: "The men will not in
future salute officers"
A few simple words-and great Rus
la lay helpless before Germany. The
Russian army, the only army in all
the war that had beaten the German
army and invaded German soil, be-
came helpless.
Why should such a simple order
make an army helpless7 Because the
discipline Of the Russian army was de-
stroyed by that order. An army with,
out discipline is a mob, and a mob
cannot win battles in modern warfare.
An army is only as good as its disci-
pine.
