The corporal's regiment had been through two
months of campaigning, a test by fire which In those

• The Vulnerable Point.
The psychologist holds that all men have Some point
or points at which they are vulnerable to fear. In the
vast majority of cases It Ss impossible to trace the
cause; usually it lies In some forgotten incident of
childhood. The pyschologist waits to be shown any
man who is wholly insensible to fear in one of its
forms. Fear being the outcome of ignorance, and the
universal brain being, unfortunately, still some few
cosmic steps ahead of us, we have all a heel of
Achilles about our mental persons somewhere, prob-
ably several heels, to mix the metaphor. We may
suppress our weaknesses. If we do we are brave.
Shunning all popular phrases as the scientist does.
calling them false generalizations that have neither
truth nor meaning, it is hard to pin him down on the
matter of bravery and cowardice. Rut thrust into a
corner he will say that the brave man must be the
one who is not governed by fear in certain situations
whicare arbitrarily accepted as vital tests of •a
man'sh worth.
Centuries of usage have defined these Situations.
it is agreed• for instance that one who shirks duty
on the line of battle, who shields himself behind ■
woman, who quails before a weaker, who dodges
danger at the sacrifice of others, is a (-award. It Is
agreed that one who leads a charge, who risks his life
to save another's, who [acre a much stronger oppo-
nent, who defends and protects the weft. Y a brave
man. Meanwhile the pay.•hologtst. having gone so
far with the papular view. seniles wisely and declares
that In each and every instance he is almost sure to
find a startling contradictIon somewhere.
The cowardly soldier who runs panic• stricken from
The field may stake his life without hesitation next
day to save a comrade from drowning. The bra've
captain who heads a forlorn hope may be turned to a
jangled, helpless bunch of nerves to -morrow while
crossing a rough hit of water In an open boat. Such
apparent incongruities, says the psychologist, are met
with every day and support his suspicion of such
wide differentiations as bravery and cowardice. There
may be one contradiction or many, but no character
is uniformly strong or uniformly weak.
Dr. Tom A. Williams. a well known neurologist
and payeopathologist of Washington. D. C.. one of
the few American members of the Societe de \eurol-
ogle. of Paris. discussed the psychology of fear awl
courage for a newspaper reporter recently. After mak-
ing clear his scientific unwillingness to accept abso-
lute distinctions between cowardice and bravery he
showed how It may happen that a man, otherwise de-
cidedly Indifferent to danger, shows weakness in some
one situation.
What Bravery Means.
"If we are to use thle word 'brave' at all It must be
In a pwr 'ly relative sense." said Dr. Williams. "There
can be no white, no black, except In so tar as a man
meets or falls to meet the popular notion. Carefully
speaking, there are every variety of mind and count-
less peculiar characteristics which may govern each
mind. The scientist would be very conservative In
employing such classifications as 'brave' and 'cow-
ardy.' because be knows how difficult It Is to draw
