Very many persons who have all the WW1 necessary for great success at games, and in some cases professions, are prevented from doing themselves justice by an uncontrollable nervous- ness which comes over them when their talents are put to an important trial. Young 'soldiers at the Front who ex- pose themselves recklessly are often prompted to do so by a desire to bat- tle against their natural fears, just as many persons who are nervous about particular things, animals, or places, often court association with these things as a cure. A certain large farmer was once very badly injured through a kick { from a horse, and for years after- wards could not bear to go near the heels of one. He was fouled one day by one of the farm-hands standing in the stable right behind the hind -quar- ters of the biggest and most vicious animal on the farm, white with anx- iety, niiety, and his face wet with perspira- tion. "Get out of this, lad!" said the farmer, on seeing the carter. "I'm stopping here quietly for a bit!" In about an hour out he came, cur- ed for ever of his nervousness! A young and clever barrister, now serving in France, is said to have been so ,nervous when first called upon to address a jury in court that he de- termined to adopt strenuous methods in order to cure himself of this fail- ing. Dressing himself in his shab- biest clothes, and taking only a small gladstone-bag with him, he set out on a tour, making "tub -thumping" speeches in parks and market -placer, in country districts, and making it a iule not even to decide on a subject 4r, for his speech until he had collected an audience. Cases of strong men who faint at the sight of a drop of blood are fairly common. An extraordinary case is recorded by a doctor who was called in to attend a man who had a fainting attack as a result of slightly cutting his finger. On inquiring the business of his patient, it transpired that the man was a butcher! Though used to animal bloodshed, he could not bear the sight of human blood, and always worked in strong leather gloves to prevent accidents. Legislation was once threatened to prevent Toronto holding an Exhibition except in years specified by the On- tario Government. Fortunately, the matter never reached the House.

Peace Is Desired, But It Must Be On Terms Dictated by the Teutons. The London Times publishes the fol- lowing account of the true condition of Germany "from an unimpeachable source." The article is based on the experience of an observer who recent- ly reached Switzerland, after having lived in Germany and enjoyed special facilities for observation from the beginning of the war. He says: "The press of German Switzerland, from which my first impressions of the outer world were derived, certainly tells the impartial trutde in sufficient degree to save its readers from shar- ing German illusions. What more can be asked of a neutral press? "Scarcely less astonishing than the discovery that the position of the Allies is not what Germans fondly be- lieve it to be is the mistaken con- ception prevalent in some allied coun- tries of the real condition of Germany and of the state of mind of the Ger- man people. I propose to describe as simply as possible what that condition and that state of mind really are. "Unless I am entirely mistaken -- and my experience of life in Germany has been continuous—no essential change has taken place among the German masses since the beginning of the war; or, if there has been a change it has not been in the direction of dis- couragement. The utmost which or- dinary Germans can be got to say is that 'it is high time that peace were made,' but they mean, of course, a German peace, one which shall con- solidate and correspond to German victories. They not only feel that they are victorious, but they are firmly per- suaded that they cannot be beaten. Conscience Is Easy. "It must not be supposed that the German people have an uneasy con- seienee. The Imperial Chancellor's de- claration to the Reichstag at the be- ginning of the war that Germany was 'doing wrong' in invading Belgium was never taken as a confession of guilt. His phrase that 'necessity knows no law' meant and still means to Germans that Germany found her- self in a condition of what is called Notwehr—that is to say, of legiti- mate self-defence. "'Surrounded by a ring of jealous enemies who had conspired to assail and crush her, they claimed that her only chance was in breaking through the ring by all possible means and of 'vindicating by the sword her right to free existence.' "Statements by people like Harden that Germany wanted war, and made it deliberately, are regarded as here- sy. Harden has been badly received by audiences in provincial towns when he has attempted to propound this view. "At first it was thought that the war would be short and triumphan- ant. Confidence in the army and its chiefs was boundless. Illustrated pa- pers represented the spirit of Bis- marck as brooding over Paris and pointing to a repetition of the mighty deeds of 1870 and 1871. The Battle of the Marne was taken as a proof that the task might be longer and harder than had at first been suppos- ed, but all talk of a German reverse was checked by the explanation that, on the Marne, the German armies had merely stayed their advance for a time, in order to take up positions carefully selected fifteen years earlier by the foresight of the General Stan. Fighting for Existence. "As time went on the conviction grew and deepened that Germany was fighting for her very existence. Though obliged by the necessities of the situation to attack, the view con- stantly inculcated upon the people was that Germany was and is on the de- fensive. There are no means of get- ting this notion out of the public mind. "Gradually the bitterness of feeling toward England increased. It is now intense. The Germans had been hopeful that, in the. event of a Euro- pean war, England would at least be neutral. Some even dreamed that England might be on their side. • They never imagined that she would declare war upon them.,The declaration of war was consequntly a great blow, though the phrase of the King of Ba- varia—'So much the mbetter; the more varia `So much the better; the more passed from mouth to mouth. At the time I felt, and I still believe, that had the attitude of • England been plainer, Germany would have shrunk from making war until she was quite sure that England would stand aloof. Only Thorough Defeat Will Do. "Now ;nothing short of thorough military defeat will convince the Ger- man people that they, can be beaten. Otherwise there will be no peace ex- cept on :Germany's' own terms. The people are prepared to suffer, much as they may, dislike the inconvenience to which the war. has put them. This is.. articularly tine', of States, like Bavaria,where•I spent,_ some time Se, fore leaving the country. "If the Bavarians could be given'a" smashing blow there might be a tepid° end of the war, but they are now as, persuaded as they were at the begin- ning that their 'Generalsand their Soldiers cahoot be defeated. Even w .Agents for Willard Storage Batteries. Repairs to all makes of Batteries, Magnetos, Generators, Eto. Prussiann defeat would not make much impression in Bavaria unless the Ba- varian armies were defeated at the same time. "The Allies may not have noticed how carefully the Berlin Government plays upon the feelings of the various German 'tribes.' To -day it is the Po- meranians, to -morrow the Branden- burgers, next day the Saxons, and then the Bavarians who are singled out for special praise in the official •bulletins, Everything is so organized i in every detail by the Government in order to carry out its policy that the public has no opportunity of aequir- , ing views of , its own. Popular con- ` fidence in official management and in the official accounts of things is still absolute." ROLL OF HONOR. Several thousand officers and em- ployees of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Company enlisted for active mili- tary duty with the Canadian Expedi- tionary Forces, and the majority of them are now in Europe, bravely bat - Wing for Canada and the Empire.

Only a Few Ladies Smoked During the Programme. More than a column is devoted by the Berliner Tageblatt to a description of German concerts in Constantinople. The leading Liberal journal is strong- ly of the opinion that the performance of German music, instrumental and vocal, in the Turkish capital has not only "important kultural significance," but is also fraught with a deep poli- tical meaning. For more than a week, we are told, German instrumentalists and singers, male and female, have been delight- ing the Turks with the works of Bee- thoven, Bach, Brahms, Schubert, and Schumann, as well as with the live- liest strains of Johann Strauss. Every- where the audiences were delighted, and applauded vigorously. We hear that the Sultan and Imperial house- hold were frequently regaled, and that in these august circles music is cultivated with a passion and success of which few have any notion. Near- ly every member of the Sultan's fam- ily is musically gifted. All the prin- ces and princesses play some instru- ment or other, and several of them have developed such talent as to be almost artists. The Tageblatt correspondent was 'quite charmed to notice the respect- ful behavior of the Turkish audiences, Nearly everybody sat quietly, and it was interesting to note that few ladies, except the very ancient ones, indulged in cigarettes during the per- formance. A number of very lofty pieces did not meet with the recog- nition which was expected, but on the whole "the concerts were a mar- velous gift of the Germans to their Turkish friends and allies which they will long remember, and which touch- ed their hearts deeply." The Altered Sign. He was running a summer hotel, and to keep departing guests from forgetting their belongings he put up a helpful sign. "Stop—Look! Have you left any- thing?' Of course the drummer had to get gay with it, thus: "Stop—Look! Have you any- thing left?" The attendance the first year of the Canadian National Exhibition was 101,000. It ran three weeks. Last year there was a daily average attendance of '72,000 for 12 days, a total of 864,000. Perverted Proverbs. Strike while the iron is hot. The more waist the less speed.

When you think of the great com- mander directing the operations and shaping the fortunes of the armies of France, think also of the best and the truest story that is ever to be told of him. The battle of the Marne had been fought and won. Gen. Joire was apparently unmoved. "Do you know, general," said one of his staff, who thought it strange that at such a time a victorious command- er should not almost sing and dance: "do you know that you have won what is perhaps the greatest battle in his- tory?" Soffre looked calmly and reflectively upon him for a few moments, and then he answered: "What I have won, I hope, is a right to rest the sooner in -my little house in the eastern. Pyrenees." - • Why, Thomas. 'Why is it that the telephone oper- ators are all women?" Mrs. Thomas asked her husband. "Well," answered Mr. Thomas, "the managers of the telephone exchhnges are aware that no class of people work so faithfully as these who are in love with their job; and they know that women would love their work at the switchboard." .

Britain the Enemy. Our firm opinion is that there is in this war no room for a compromise with England, says the Vossisehe Zeitung. England is the -enemy who has raised up and is still keeping against us a world of enemies. We can expect from England's good -will nothing . . . for our national future. We must for the sake of a reconcilia- tion with England abandon none of the war -aims which we have achieved by conquest and which we deem it ne- cessary to retain in the interests of our country. The only important thing is to weaken England's power and to strengthen our own to an ex- tent that would allow us to impose peace upon England, willy-nilly, and to make her recognize our right to ex- istence, our right to the future, our right to access to the world and to the world's oceans, KEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEA-THER. Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small chil- dren.
