 The troops of both sides have suffered more or less from staleness. They have not lost their morale. But they have been fighting long long time. They are weary of war, weary of the monotony and hardships and dangers of the front.

So now to these war worn troops come the Ameri- cans, of splendid physique, exuberant, dash ing eager to get at the enemy, hard to re- strain. Their enthusiasm is bound to be infectious.

 There is a strong probability that no Counsel of Defense legislation will get through the special term. The Senate bill, No. 5, indefinitely post poned Saturday, was brought up Mon day for reconsideration. on motion of MT Walton. This second time it was killed again, this time effectually, for it mustered only 21 votes against an opposition of II, or less than the two. thirds necessary to take the measure through with an emergency clause at. tached. The reconsideration seems to have been a sincere one. The ad- ministration forces are understood to have received assurance that the bill would be signed, though not satisfac- tory, in that much of the appointing power is left with the supervisors of the several counties. There was ex- pectation of the changing of a couple of votes. but Sullivan was absent and the ther necessary vote failed to ma terialize.

PRUSSIANISM

In his masterful speech last Monday be- fore the graduating class of Notre Dame University, Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the U. S. Shipping Board, in addition to his thrilling figures on the growth of our shipbuilding industry, uttered the following terrible indictment of the Prussian:
 The spirit of Prussian militarism has ire quently been characterized as the spirit of madness This is no idle charge. Rather is it the instinctive recognition of mind pos sessed by the Prussian leaders until all of the outstanding signs of insanity, such as might be exhibited by an individual, are seen to be present.
 Prussian militarism differs from a sane institution by its complete blindness to any other than its own point of view. True san ity consists in a normal adjustment to en- vironment, with the qualities present which instinctively and intelligently respond to external truths. The result is the manifes- tation of those wholesome reactions to which have been given the names of civil- zation, art, culture and refinement in the intellectual field, and lend meaning to |the terms of honor, truth, right and justice in the moral field.
 Prussian militarism has deliberately broken down the means of access to these external influences There Is no longer any right but the German right as the Ger man military leaders choose to interpret 1t. What the German government is preach ing to its people is that the will to power, the will to victory" Is sufficient to bring victory, right or wrong, There are certain fundamental laws which all clear-headed men recognize as inflexible, but the Prus- sian military leaders have said that all these must be subordinated to Germany will. The Prussian military leaders have placed themselves intellectually in the position of the insane egoist who persists in believing that he can lift himself over the fence by his bootstraps, in supreme defiance of the laws of gravitation.
 Bismark once warned the German peo- pie against the danger of ignoring what he described as the 'iimponderables against ignoring the love of truth for its own sake, against ignoring kindliness, charity and un- selfishness as necessary parts of full na- tional life.
 The gospel of the German government, especially since the present war began, has been materialism, and it is the irony of fate that Germany frightfulness has now been turned turtle, and caused an internal fright lest, after the war, her national life should be starved for want of raw materials.
 Time as well as righteousness fights on the side of America and the Allies. The forces that are struggling against German militarism have the knowledge that the longer the war continues, the stronger must America and the Allies become, while the longer it continues the more surely will Germany strangle all her hopes for regain ing her former position in the world mar kets, and respect of mankind.
