Morale.

Perhaps the simplest way of explain Ing the meaning of morale is to say that what condition" is to the ath- iete's body, morale is to the mind. Morale is condition; good morale is good condition of the inner man it is the state of will in whic'l you can get most from the machinery, deliver blows with the greatest effect, take blows with the least depression, and hold out for the longest time. It is both fighting power and staying pow CT, and strength to resist the mental infections which fear, Encouragement and fatigue bring with them-such as eagerness for any kind of peace if only it gives momentary relief, or the irritabiiity that sees large the defects in ones own side until they seem more important than the need of de feating the enem.-. And it is the per petual ability to come back.-William Ernest Hooking in the Atlantic Month ly.

Let scarlet red be taken,'' he says, ''and let him who is suffering smallpox be entirely wrapped in it or in some other red cloth.

By agreeing to the arnnistice when she was on the brink of the most CO., lossal military collapse in all history, Germany saved her military face be- fore her own people, declared D. Thomas Curtin. war correspondent and author, speaking Tuesday evening at the ChautauQua on the Academy campus, and for this reason the Ger
 man people are still uncOnvinced that they were defea ted in a military sense. For this reason. too, it is lmportant that the allies should go ahead with the trial of the kaiser and his aS5o- ciates, for there is a big difference be- tween knowing that you are phys1- ca1ly defeated or acknowledging that you are morally wrong It is funda-
 mental that the German. people should be brought to realize that their lead CTS deliberately willed the war and this trial will produce just that proof.
 MT. Curtin, the man who has writ ten Dragging the Truth Out of Ger many, spread new and intensely inter esting information before his audience that filled nearly every seat in the tent pointing his talk with bits of humor and short stories that brought his hearers into intimate knowledge Of conditions in the years of war.
 Germany started the war with piece of trickery against Russia, he declared, designed solely to fool the German people into the belief that the ma ation was compelled to take up arms in it's own defense against Russian mobilization On the afternoon of July S1. 1914, a leading Berlin news paper came out with extra with the scare headline. Germany Mobilizes. The Russian embassy in Berlin took the bait, just as the German leaders expected they would and at once tel egraphed the news to Petrograd. That telegram went through on clear wires for Germany had seen to that. But very soon after the first extra came another denying the report of German Again the Russian em- bassy sent this news along, but Ger many had control of the wires and German efficiency saw to it that this was delayed twelve hours. By that time Russian mobilization was underway and the German leaders

Famous Old Love sono.

"Robin Adair" is one of those old fashioned love songs which has lived for more than a century, and has re- tained its popularity probably more by reason of it's pretty and plaintive mel ody than for it's words. which were written by Lady Caroline Keppel. The song Robin Adair" is close to two centuries old. It was written around an incident that actually occurred. The tune to which Robin Adair" has always been sung is of Irish origin, having been composed by Gerald O'Daly, one of the native harpers, and first associated with song entitled Eileen Aroon." Its popularity in England dates from the first half of the eighteenth century, about which time it was much sung by Tenducci, the Italian vocalist.

CURTIN SAYS KAISER SHOULD BE TRIED

 On such a basis of. tricierr they built up superstracture of illusion after illusion that continued till the eT-d of tho war.
 Mir. Curtin referred to the graz quent words Of the kaiser in aG6re~-- ing his troops when he said s.bc con- vlnced that you are tho chosen peo- pie. The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Death and misery to those who oppose my will" The German profess sors preached the benefit of hate as a cult, hate especially towards England, and the soldiers sang the song of hate, in contrast to such songs as Pack Up Your Troubles, Tipperary and There's a Long, Long Trail, which were most frequently heard on the lips of the all lied troops.
 He spoke of the well organized work that the Germans and Austrians did to make it appear that men taken prisoners were far more comfortable armies and said this really had tre- mendous effect against the Italians Relating a visit to German prison camp, he showed how those in charge of the camp had things fixed up es- peciaIly for that day so that the vis- itor should get the most favorable inn pression, but far from the truth as to the treatment of prisoners.
 The U-poat campaign, he declared. was put on by the military leaders of Germany, who overruled the foreign office when it sought to try to have President Wilson get the nations around the peace table and leave Ger many triumphant. "YoH can always buy America" said the military lead CTS. You have no soadiers. You can't fight What good will your i'm mense resources be-
 In a. final word. touching on the league of nations, Mir. Curtin said the war had been fought to make a better world and men should not now put their energies into furthering their political careers but into making our flag the hope of the world

Ln pefense of the whlte Ant.

Residents of tropical regions gen orally look upon the white ant as an unmitigated nuisance, on account of the damage wrought by this insect in all kinds of woodwork. t appears, however, from Sudan Notes and Rec ords, that in the Sudan, at least, white ants serve useful purpose. Vegeta- tion grows very rapidly during the wet season and the ant only attacks plants that are weakened by drought or dis ease, and that. but for the activities of the insect would soon cover the fertile parts of the country with an inpenetrable mass of vegetable refuse.
