i
in the sense we commonly. give to
that word. The war they seem to
have taken as the natural, the una
voidable thing, just a part of life,
as the gambler takes gambling, with
no other regret than that it is his
bad luck to lose. Like the gambler,
they may be sorry they made Ger
tain moves in the game; they may
be sorry they entered the game at
all, as the gambler would be who
knew in the end that his adversary
had more money on his hip than
he had given him credit for in the
beginning. But it is not a regret
Of being a gambler, Did not Metz
che say that to regret, to repent, is
a sign of weakness? Unless there
is something under his mask that
never shows a hint of it's existence
on the surface, the German is still a
firm disciple of Nietzcf|an philo.
sophy.
"In one sense he is "good loser"
in that he begins without waste of
time or vain regrets to hedge, to
make up for his folly-or his bad
luck-to bend all his efforts toward
quick recuperation. But in the other
sense. that in which the term is
used in clean sport, he is a decidedly
bad loser"

ways through this agency. The
association has been ready to re-
spond TO every emergency for
serving men. IL had 200 tents
in the Spanish American war.
When the troops were sent to
the Mexican Border, the as.
