scription Of the methods employed:
"They were trained to remain per.

description; to receive blows about ths
head; drums were beat, pistols and
crackers fired In their ears, flags
waved before their eyes, clumsy pack.

VICTORY MATTER OF COURSE
American Advantage In Battle Obvious
to the Most Casual Observer
Of Events.

One Of the great assets on the side
Of the United States In any war Is
the complete and uEbounded conf
dence Of all the people-soldiers and
cfvilians-that we are going to win.
No one for a moment has any doubt
about that. Some Of us feel that we
may have to pay a heavy price, but
most OF us will feel also that It IL
going to be worth all that 1t costs.
1t is to be noted that this sense OF
confidence that fills the hearts of the
people is not the overconfldence by
which great battles are sometimes
lost, but rather the consciousness Of
being in the right and of having the
mental and physical force to uphold
that right for our own sakes and for
the sake Of the world. This calm
confidence is unquestionably a great
American advantage.
The magnificent showing that has
been made and always will be made
by the American soldier boys thrills
the hearts Of all loyal citizens. 1t 10

but 1t was not unexpected.
