had opportunity to observe the
quality and conduct of the men in
uniform has remarked upon their
improvement over the youth we
knew in civilian life. They are not
only better set up physically, but
they also display more dignity, more
self-respect, more confidence
and more efficiency. They have
learned the great lesson of subordi-
nation of self to a cause and a task.
New purpose has been put into their
personalities. Nobody ever attains
the heights of life until he has
learned to subordinate a desire to
a duty.
As to Alcohol.
One of the commonest tests of
this deep principle Is the use of
alcohol. For all the ages that are
recorded of mankind, even far back
into the millenniums which the
cuneiform tablets report, alcohol has
been major problem of life. The
general moral verdict has been
against it. There is no lack of knowl-
edge concerning the evil effects of
strong drink what has been lack
ing has been personal conviction
as to abstinence. But the war is
bringing a revival of public interest
IN the whole subject. We cannot
AFFORD to weaken our military effbrts
because men--and, alas! women, also
want to indulge their taste for
cocktails and other forms OF booze.
In the magazine Of the American
Medical Association, Hygeia, there
appeared a review Of alcohol
throughout history, eliminating in
this verdict: Nov, in our ciyiliza-
ton and culture, alcohol constitutes
a greater social and personal hazard
than ever before in our history"
II that be true-and who can
doubt it?-the challenge is clear
and strong to everybody who would
1--we on the highest level of patriot
ism to forego personal use of strong
drink. Total abstinence is the one
sure method for overcoming the
evils OF drink. And it is really such
a small sacrifice to make for so
great an end. 1t means giving IN
a taste, a personal indulgence, for
the sake of public cause.
Why France Fell.
Lurking in the background of this
present lesson is the timely truth
that when a people becomes fiabby
IN It's moral muscles; when private
self-interest and self-indulgence
take the place Of heroic devotion
to the nations welfare, then public
Evening star., 1942-09-05

we are StIll III UIe preliminary stage
of grumbling at restrictions OF gaso-
line, fuel OIL rubber, sugger, and a
few other commodities; but we are
getting an understanding of what
total war means and the price that
must be paid for victory.
In the light of present depriva-
tionS. we are beginning to see what
a self-indulgent existence most of
us have been leading. Self-pleasing
has become the common mood. We
have coddled our carcasses, and
made the circumstances of life COM
Portable to an unprecedented degree.
The criticism is common that society
has grown soft, by disregard of the
sterner virtues. 1t is not easy for
our luxurious generation to sacrifice
a practice for principle, as the war
is now compelling us to do.
Our new experiences of rationing
will be steadied and strengthened if
we realize that they are but the out
working of cardinal principle of
religion. The truth that there must
ever in life be self-denial for the
sake of others runs like a golden
cord throughout the New Testament.
Its culmination-and inspiration-is
the cross of Calvary. He died for
all, that they which live should no
