Esprit de Corps Work. Wonders.

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

self in Great Britain, a shop door in
Bond street carried written large the
announcement that mo person Of Ger
man birth, whether naturalized or not,
Is permitted to enter these premises"
1t was Of course in the nature OF an
outer and visible sign OF an inward
and patriotic grace, but one wondered
on reading that notice how on earth
the owner Of the premises could tell
whether his order got obeyed or not.
Curiosity, however, did not go so
FAR as to impel inquiry In Me matter,
but now that the spirit of the Bond
street shopman Is shared by the whole
nation, 1t might be quite worth while
for officials Of several of the govern
ment departments to get little infor-
nation from him on chow he does it."
Hints based on experience are not to
be despised.
