The official British estimate ,of the
c ermmrt casualties to dategives the
total as 2,822,079, including 664,552
killed outright or mortally wended
and 41,325 who died of sickness, There
is _not one of these nearly three mil-
lion men who could give a valid rea-
son for the war apart from his duty
to his country and his Emperor. Even
these frgores do not tell the whole
of the story, for the naval and co1oe
nial.troops'are omitted.
For the crime against civilization
committed by German militarism the
German people, just and unjust, in-
nocent or guilty, pay the penalty.
While the voice of a Liebkneeht cries
in the wilderness against_ the policy of
blood . and iron to enforce Kultur,
Prussians, Bavarians, Saxons and
Wurtembergers go marching forth to
slaughter in the trenches. The Ger-
man soldier obeys his orders without
question. Discipline and drill Have
erased his personality and denied him
a will of his own.
It is the consummate pathos of
the war that the huge number sent to
die that time Kaiser may spread the
terror of his name over the face of
the earth should be able to give no
reason for the sacrifice to the God
whom the Kaiser patronizes.

The situation of a person thus prev-
ented from relieving evident distress
of mind by making restitution may
strike some as a novel one. How-
ever, it was considered long ago by
moral philosophers. St Thomas
Aquinas, for example, held that the
church might justly accept from a
'repentant thief the profits of theft
where restitution was impossible.
Science and invention have present-
ed to mankind. many new material
problems, but the moral problems are
all as old as man's conscious consider-
ation of his right relations with his
fellows and his Maker. If some im-
patient reformers knew more history
we would have less of the accusa-
tion of others' motives which so
grievo�.tsly delays reformatory effort.
SOLDIER'S HEART.
Queer Trouble Which Affects Men
Who Have Been in Action.
, A not uncommon ailment amon
men in England who are invalide
from the front is soldier's heart. T
define it would be difficult. During
the United States Civil War a specie
hospital was opened in Philadelphia
to study and treat the trouble.
Soldier's heart seems to have no
direct relation to the "seated heart"
that knocked at Macbeth's ribs. The
most heroic men often have soldier's
heart. It is in the nature of physical
prostration attended with low spirits,
the patient being unfit for duty. Sir
James Mackenzie, an authority upon
cardiac irregularities, says that sol-
dier's heart is not heart disease as j
the term is commonly understood.
The general treatment is fresh air,
light exercise, and congenial recrea-
tion. Cheerfulness is a factor in the
cure. Officers invalided home re-
covered when sent away to fish and
loaf. Sir James Mackenzie saw the .
importance of studying the cases of
private soldiers, and a special hos-
pital has been opened for them at
Hampstead. The staff includes, be-
sides Sir James, such well known
medical men as Sir William Osler
and Sir Clifford AIibut. Some re-
