THE MOLLYCODDLE BRIGADE. The trouble with a lot of perfectly honest and wellintentioned people in this world Is that, they are afraid to looli their dog in the face. In the matter of the war and its conduct they do not seem inclined to face unpleasant facts that may be brought to their attention. They admit that there is a war but yet they try to save as much of their skin as possible and dodge the truth. They want this country to conduct its part of the war in a half-hearted fashion: they would have it reluctant and hesitant in going to the limit. They are in reality the best friends our
enemies have on this side if the Atlantic. The kaiser in
all his dire need of friends could not have anyone who J could carry on his propaganda here better than the people who are skin-savers. This class hees and haws and raises its eyebrows j and querously deprecates the idea of war for war's j sake. It would have a, nice little lady-like war a now ! if-you-doa't-stop-I'll-slap-your-face idea of a war. If gives them the shivers to think about wounds and ban- j dages and suffering and death and coffins. They think : K a terrible thing that some of our boys smoke cigar-' ettes at the front. It makes them gasp to think 0 a 1
cold weary soldier drenched to the marrow having a noggin of rum before going into battle. We suppose they would rather have 'our boys" as they are always pleased to call them go over the top dispiritedly and surrender rather than be ready to deal death with determination and vengeance. There is no way to wage war successfully except to be fully prepared to wage it and then to wage it with the bullet and the sword. You can't bayonet a man without drawing blood and often you drive it into your
enemy with such strength that you can't pull it out to j skewer another unless you shoot it out. They would 1 never open their heads when a sappy and callow sport 1
on a midnight joy ride, drunk at the wheel of a car overturns it with death to the occupants, but it makes them sick you know to have 'that same youth metamorphosed into a man by intensive cantonment training going in to do his part in making a world where his women folk can live without being ravaged and mutilated a world where there are such things as tru'h, honor and respect among nations. The people who believe in half-hearted prosecution of this war on the part of the Unitetd States are not fit to live within its boundaries. They belong in Germanv or in the nether regions.
President Wilson was 01 the other day and reports Horn Washington say that despite his age, the press of the presidency, and the added burdens of the war he is as young looking as ever, keeps fit. lias the glow of health in his cheeks, and in no way manifests his age. If von cwv saw .Mr. Wilson one oKtlio fast things that would impress you is how well groomed a man he is. Clean shaven, h.ur trimmed neatly, clean teeth, clear complexion, siraightness and well tailored clothe:; mr.rk this man qf men. However keen has been his studying and his hard work he has kept himself clean and in good health through the years and so een at the age of 61 finds that his body meets all the drafts that his intellectual processes must hate in order to direct a nation's affairs in its great crisis.
j It is aptly said that clothes make t lie man and in ' the case of Wood row Wilson there is no doubt that ! keeping well groomed both as to wearing apparel and 1 his personal appearance makes him look younger and

NAU MANN'S LAMENT. Writing m the Mitt'europa, Prof. Friednch Nauman, the author of the famou. book on 'Central Europe." says: ' "'n spite (if many efforts, the jderi of a rn tral European union has gained no definite form, and the foundations for the structure of a Ger-man-Austro-Hungarian state agreement are still missing." Prof. Naumann goes on to blame the late and pre-
j ent Austrian and Hungarian prime ministers for -having
I done nothing. Discussing the terms of the proposed
treaty, he says that they should be as simple as possible, avoiding all unnecessary conditions. "The task is only to create a military and economic unity on ground on which the Central powers can negotiate jointly. It would be sufficient to have a State decree issued by the Emperors and approved by the Parliaments declaring that the three Central States intend in the future to train and equip their armies on these same lines, conclude treaties with other states jointly, and unite their finances on a common credit system. Other questions can be settled later. The first thing necessary is an irrevocable settlement of the historical alliance."
