For This Issue
forests and over hills by, means of
most skillful flanking operations. Our
men were protected by the threefold
covering of smoke screens, artillery
barrages (large gas), and hordes of
assaulting tanks. The extraordinary
development of our chemical offensive
during the summer of 1918 will be
hence forth a subject of great Interest
for students of war. The change that
has taken place Is Illustrated by the fact
that In 1918 the French cut the ene
my's lateral railway along the Sulppe
river. In Champagne, at a cost of less
than one fifth the casualties that were
Incurred in the unsuccessful attempt
of 1915. War Is always a matter of
relative strength and skill; the Im
provements of today are the antiqui
ties of next week. Necessity may be
the mother of Invention, but freedom
Is thr father of progress. In notable
cases, as with the tanks, the Ger
mans were shown how, but they could
neither effectively use the new device
nor defeat It. The victories of the
autumn of 1918 were won on the
basis of the new situation wrought by
allied skill and energy. The war will
be won that way. Collier's.
A NATURAL SUSPICION
Has the German imperial govern
ment In her dying efforts, knowing she
Is defeated beyond her worst fears,
realizing that the whole world is eager
for ber fall, and seeing ever her allies
drop away from her in loathing, now
resorted to further Tile, underhanded
means to stave off for a brief space
inevitable disaster?
To an American who knows the
dastardly ends to which the enemy
will go. this is a question which
forces itself into prominence as the
Spanish influenza germs settled down
on one Yankee army post after an
other. Bitter experience has taught
as to suspect anything of the Huns.
We do not doubt that the perpetra
tors of the Lusitanla affair and the
Cavell incident would hesitate to bring
about this present epidemic. - The
Prussian high command has been cry
ing for time, time to recover from the
staggering blows delivered by Foch
on the west and Allenby on the east,
time to rest her wearied soldiery, time
to reconstruct her shattered plans.
There is, therefore, nothing that could
please the Hun more than to see Am
erica's great war machine even tem
porarily slowed up. If the Yankees
could be kept for a few months from
enuing more oi ner ngntlng men
across the Atlantic Germany believes
she might have time to recuperate in
some slight measure. The Spanish
Influenza epidemic must be the
brightest spot on the enemy's ever
darkening horizon.
Among soldiers and civilians the
questions are being raised a myriad
of times daily: "Why would the in
fluenza germs jump right over a city
of a hundred thousand, like Des
Moines, and Kettle down on an army
camp a few miles distant where a
fourth as many persons are quartered?
Why is nearly every army camp In the
grip of the epidemic while civilian
communities are comparatively un
touched ?"
What part Germany has played in
settling this scourge upon Yankee sol
diers may never be officially known.
But absence of official proof will not
tend to lessen belief in the Huns' gilt
in the minds of a nation forced to re
alize there are creatures who can and
will stoop to practices more loathsome
even than the spreading of disease
germs. Stars and Stripes.
WAR'S REALITIE8
The trouble with civilian commen
tators on things military is that too
often their premises, or assumptions,
are nonexistent by the time their con
clusions are published. For example,
in late September the essayists were
still talking of "trench warfare" and
"frontal attacks' when the allied arm
ies were forcing their way through

WHAT DISCIPLINE IS
There may be some people In our
country even yet who think that army
discipline must mean a lowering ot
manhood, a putting oneself under the
will and heel of another. On this
basis of fallacy pacifists erect their
belief in the moral superiority of non
rt'fistance, defeatism, peace at any
price, etc. The answer is given once
and for all in an article on "The Phil
osophy of General Foch," by a Brit
ish writer named Charley Whibley.
Foch says:
"To be disciplined does not mean
to keep silence, to abstain from action.
. . . It is not the act of avoiding
responsibilities Discipline
eauals activity of mind. Idleness of
mind leads to indiscipline Just as does
insubordination Discipline is
activity of mind to understand the
views of a superior officer and to en
ter Into those views, and activity of
mind to find the material means to
realize those views."
That is the whole truth of it DIs
cipline is not a state of punishment or
of servitude, but the whole-hearted
response of freemen to worthy leader
ship. Under Foch and Mangin and
Petaln and Gouraud and other capable
generals, the soldiers of the French
republic are proving that creed to the
uttermost. So are our men. In a
world where righteousness must be,
fought for and won, what better rule
of life can a man have? Collier's.

Quality Once Acquired, Many Men

It is a remarkable fact that mast
men are engaged in occupations that
they dislike. We know many a doc
tor who would for rather be aa author,
and, by the same token, we know some
Kuthcrs whom we would like to be doc
tor or something else. There are
6tutesnien who always wanted to be
blacksmiths, and blacksmiths who
wanted to be statesmen. In many In
stances they could trade and the coun
try would be the gainer.
