There- arc some interesting reieien-

then with a patronage vcrging Oli “Oll- t@mpt_ Frcytag once says outright that “thc Germans were on several occasions threatened with thc Austro- lflungarian army -being defeated utter- ly by the t`ur superior Russians."

As regards the Germans, Frcytag

says that the want oi’ otlicers tnude it- self felt in an extraordinar way after the original heavy losses in the au- tumn ot 1914, and otherwisc brave men occasionally failed when their leaders were taken away by enemy bullets," He declares that the Ger- man army has at traditional contempt for danger surb as belongs to _,no other “pcoplc's army," but in this, as in all other matters, lic- insists upon the lncstinmble value ot' disciplinc and training, such as can he obtained only undcr 3 system of avowed and tleterinined miiitnrism. ' _

Throughout the lesson which Frey-

tag is most concerned to teach, is that the new experience docs not dis- place but must he grafted on to old knowledge; He repeatedly declares that the importance ot' outtlunklug strategy has not 'l~‘ ziffected _by the losses of the war; what Germany must try to do is to obtain by "policy" n better starting point. for her future wars. ’I`hc following passage may he tnkc-n as F‘rcytag`s rcnl “deduction t'rom the world war."

"If, as we hope. policy succeeds in

Our business, therefore, is to maintain thc fundamental ideas or war as tile-.v llvad in thc Gorman army up to thc ycnr 1914, to soak th:.~m in tho experiences- of tim pro, sont. wnr,\und to make the fullest technical use of these expcriottcos- but tu tio all this without giving an nntircly new direction to our thinking

Our ideals of knighthootl stretch

back to the days oi’,chi\'n1ry-to the days of the round table, when King Artbur's knights \veut -out in_searcli of the Holy Grail; when the knights ot' thc Crusaders fought in the lloly \Vat‘s; to the tlinos of tournaments

and tleetit-i ot’ valor; ot` which we are still justly proud. Yet-are the lads in khaki less brave, less noble., less true __knlghts than those steel-clad warriors of long ago? They uiay not wear their ludy's glove in their hul- nicts, ,but they carry her memory t`nitht'nlly in their hearts; the vision they have before _them may: not be the vision of the lloly Grail, hut can we say it is less noble? Are they not

fighting for right and ideals-vjust as the so-called honors of our modern* day-thc majority would not. wish to accept it-but nevertheless 'they are as truly knights as any that snt at that mund table centuries ago.

But what of the "ladies" for whom

the title "ludy." using instead' "wo- man," in the prcsont den1or:ratic,rln.vs. At a recent meeting in this city .a speaker remarked: ‘.‘l will not say, ladies and gentlemen; l address you as men anti women," evidently intend- ing to convey' it compliment thereby. Did hc over take the trouble to find out the moaning of either -title? Lady, correctly speaking. corresponds with Lorti-and means “bread-giver," or

maintainer of laws. At the presenti

more than that oi' “lady'."' Anti is not the woinan of today proving her right to that title? Not merely is she ii "l08l`~Klver" to her housdhold, not

only ‘“brendfgivcr" to hcr children. but, in the far broudcr scnsc oi' initi- istering to tho wants ot' the multitude without her gates, ot’ i'eed'lng thc hutr gry, “in the ordering, the t-oiui'm't- ing. and in the beautiful adornmcnt of the State.”
