Blackness conceals; the unseen and unknown are feared. Lands where the night is long are more primi- tive and less populous than those where the sun favors progress. Gloom lends itself to the forces of evil. Germ life thrives where the sun’s rays cannot reach. Villainy and vandalism cling to closed shutters and drawn blinds; plotters and pillagers plan and split spoils in places ill lighted, not illuminated. Darkness cloaks crime. Many outrages of his- tory were conceived. connived and directed in the ig dark, dampness of cellars.

A simple rearrangement of | _ conditions will produce either. These two. words, so alphabetically akin, carry the relationship into their meanings. The intactness of your reserves depends upon the extent of your reverses. sour reverses is accentuated or minimized by the 1 amount of your reserves. i Wherever either figures, both are factors. Each ‘ depends upon the other. They are equalizers. i They determine the points of solvency and liqui-! I dation A defensive warfare is one of reserves and re-' verses. 3 The allied offensive is ‘calenat to continue Ger- many’s reverses till her last effective reserves are thrown into the fray. It is at once perceivable that the frequency and ‘weight of allied thrusts determines the speed with which the length and strength of the HUN parries will be diminished. - ‘Through all of life’s vicissitudes, the principle of reverses versus reserves stands unchanged. One _. fimancier lightly regards a setback which would be ' ~ another’s calamity. One man’s vital forces magne- __tize his personality while another's, depleted by Von Hindenburg has told the German people not The admonition, no doubt. is based upon his own | beiated conviction that the Yanks AKE foes to be the He is a typical HUN bully, of which the gorilla) shrouds now and abandon any notions of maneu- 1 while ignorance is a bandage to the eyes of prog-!
