Esprit de Corp. Work. Wonders,

Esprit de corps makes every French
soldier feel proud to belong to his unit.
for he prOclaims that his unit Is the
best Of all In the French armies and
that all men of this unit are fine lot.
That esprit de corps will make them
perform wonderful achievements In or
der to outdO neighbOring units. But
the eNnltation of the morale Ia really
the work of the officers; they are in
close touch with the men and have
their confidence. They will point out
to them the reasons why they fight !;
they will tell them why they must be
confident of success; they will give
them some indications MS to how the
next battle will be fought and the rea-
sons why a success is expected-name-
ly. the great superiority in guns, in am
munition, in infantry and in morale
that we shall have In this particular
sector. Then, us the training goes on.
the men will feel and realize their su-
periority over the enemy.
Another sentiment which must be in
culcated into every fighter Is a strong
hate for the Boche, a strong desire to
meet him. to nght him and to beat
him.

Frederick the Great.

On the seventeenth Of August. 1885.
died the most remarkable sovereign
Prussin has yet produced. Carlyle de-
scribes him as king without the hap
penings; no crown but an old military
hat and not godlike in physiognomy |:
close-shut mouth with thin lips, prOmi-
nent jaws. with a head Of long form.
His face bore the evidence Of many
sorrows and much hard labor. and
seemed to anticipate nothing but much
more to come: a snuffy nose rnther
flung into the air under Its old cooked
hat-like an old snufYy lion on the
watch and a pair of eyes as no man,
lion or lynx of that century bore. He
presented himself in Spartan simplici-
ty. This was Frederick II at home /;
among the common people who loved
him. he was Father Fred--a name Of
familiarity which had not bred con-
tempt in that instance. This portrait
strongly reminds one Of Kaiser Will
