the face of the fact that the constitu

the supreme law of the land and must

attack in the open"
And yet this very thing has happened
—not merely once to he written into
the chronicles of a nation's sublime
heroic*, but everywhere and every day
throughout that far-flung battle line
on which Teuton is locked i in the
death-grip with Frank and Eriton
Marvelous, aiso, is the fuel that this
matchless courage is being displ < c
not by the toughened veterans of a lone
campaign not bv professional s.!<1iers
steeled and tempered by the discipline
of barracks and camp, but bv work - i -
day laymen call'd at a minute's notice
from the peaceful routine of their daily
lives, and told to rush “into the laws
of Hell!"
Consider them, as they advance
'through the zone of death compact
unwavering, and with every emotion
save that of fear shining in their eves
They have come not from the snug
shelter of the camp, but from the end
less misery of the trenches in which,
when man was not lashing them with
lead and iron, nature has whipped them
with wind and sleet and pitiless rains.
Sodden unfed cold and wear', they
face the multiplied savaaer' of modern
artlllerv with a heroism that the vet
erans of Napoienn. Rim her and Wel
lington can scarce have equaled in tlie
(lavs of the less murderous smooth
bore and muzzle-loading muskei
Man need not be brutal to be phvsi
! * ally brave
Never since the time when men first
marched into battle have armies taken
the field in which there was such a iiieh
average of education and refinement
as in these contending hosts of the
French and Belgian battle giounds
Among these four . r none millions f
men we doubt if a corporal's guard e. u
t>e found that is not able to read and
write And the uradw of culture ex
tends from that of the state schools up
to the highest erudition .f the colleges
, nd universities
War muv be brutal: but the deeds . f
ihe citizen-soldier in this unparalleled
test of the twentieth eentur' have
proved that there is not the remotest
relation between brutality and braverv
Rather, we have learned that the men
tal. more!, and artistic upljft of tbs
i age we live in so far from stripping the
i ace of the sterner qualities of nvin
I h ood. has stiffened immeasurably its
piitck. tenacity and courage F.\
