PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT. -

We have heard many boasts
fvom those in high command of
the German military and naval
forces of what they intend to do.
We have heard vainglorious ut-
from the Kaiser, von Hinden-
burg, the crown prince, von Tir-
pitz, of what Germany's mighty
arm will achieve, of the Christ-
mas dinner in Paris, of the cap-
ture of the French. capital by
April 1, of the taking of Verdun,
and of the wiping off of the face
of the waters the Allied mer-
chant marine. But did we ever
consider what the true motive of
these braggings might be?

In the tremendous offensive
that she is waging on the west
front, Germany is utilizing all
‘her resources, not only of her

army, but of her navy, her pro-
fessors and her airmen, If she
“ig successful enough on the west
her navy will play a part. Her

submarines are trying to under.

mine the stamina of the’ British
people by the threat of famine;
her chemists are devising poison
gases to weaken the resistance of
_ our soldiers; her air fleet ‘is en-
deavoving to weaken the fighting
spirit of our people by the whole-
sale shawering of bombs on non-
combatants, But behind all this
is another weapon, the continual
low of positive bragging from
the intellectuals of Germany, the
constant reiteration of boasts of
what Germany will do, with the
idea of lowering our morale.
~They tell us, amid much high-
sounding verbiage, to quit while
the quitting is good. The figure
on the ‘psychological effect of
what ‘they say and do, endeavor-
ing to keep before us perpetually
the idea that Germany is going
to win, by this means hoping to
keep us in that frame of mind
which invites defeat, + - .
_ Germaty has made. many grave
miscalculations in the past; and
~ makes ‘one now if she thinks to
-win battles without firing a shot.
She is fighting a people that has
“never known defeat for the rea-
son. it. has never.known when it
. was_ beaten.

The Vice of Pacifisth

The old story of Moses, the man
of God, smiting to his death the
Egyptian slave-driver whom he
found beating his fellow Israelite
has always: been a fascinating
We have heard it
questioned if the great man had
done the wise and right thing in
allowing his anger to so out-run
his prudence and caution, but
there was never any misgiving
in our minds about that. In fact
‘the incident has always been a
very instructive and helpful ane
to us in. this way, that it-has
taught us that anger may havea
perfectly legitimate place in the
life of a good man. Moses’ flash-
ing eye and furious death-dealing
blow has seemed to say to us
that if a man -doesn’t react in
anger and fierce resentment in
the presence of. injustice and
eruelty and masterful evil-doing
there is something wrong with
him, very seriously wrong too.
Under those circumstances paci-
fism is not a virtue and cannot be
made into d semblance of virtue,
but is instead a vice revealing
the terrible fact that the con-
‘science has lost its sengitiveness
and the soul has lost its coutage.,
