One of the greatest generals en- gdged in the present war has said that all military tdctiés, from those of Alexander down, have beéen aban- doned, except the tactics of Stone- wall Jackson. Yet military critics bave {estified -that the tactics of tonéwall:, Jackson were -generally . in lirect - opposition | to -every thing re- garded as good military stategy. - In fact, this general had no system' of tactics at all in any hard and fast sense. He was the author of mili- tary initiative. Disregarding prece- dents, he simply did the thing that® needed to be done, when and as the occasion demanded. Msthods of fighting have changed sinee Jackson's day’and few of the manoeuvers of '61 would be -effective on a modern battlefield. It is cer- tain, however, that the Southern lead- er Las thousands of brothers-in-arms on the Westérn front and that they are as ready as he was to discard every method outworn and to seize every new advantage. The spirit of -enterprise, initiative and daring is as valuable in treneh warfare as in the older forms of open fighting, and is no less in evidence. Jackison's tactics - are practicallys necessary for all of us in a world of such momentous changes ag.the present one. “The sun do move,” &s ‘Brother Jasper truly observed. It has .moved so fast in recent years as to upset the equilibrium of thousands of us. The great war has run a ploughshare through the life of all nations. Hardly a single human in- terest in any civilized country has been unaffected. Few social institu- tions . familiar to man will ever be the same again as before 1914. There have been ages when changes in the contour of this phys- ical globe have beén so slow as to be hardis? perceptdble. The geologist spéaks of other ages when changes were . exfraordinarily rapid. Such svere the years when velcanoes belched and mountains were - thrown up, when glaciers crunched their way dcross the plains, when river beds were gouged out. At such times the process of world making moved on apace. in-the physical universe have been those in “Human affairs during these most ‘recent \yeags, 'What ° changes have cofie over the.face of society! things ‘Wondrously indeed . is the Divine Spirit fulfilling that program in the world.

Tt is somtething un- usual to find a man who is willing and firm enough to stand np for what he feels to be right and if all men had the love for pedce and right doing, the ser and his followers would not be in bat$le with other nations. The Quaker belief to me has always been the most unseifish and beautiful one in the world, and if Mft. Watrgus is a member of that seet, what right have any of us t6 erfticise him for doing what he beliéves to be righ How many men may I ask would be willing to %o out to fight the Gérmans if they were consulted? Possibly we all would be amazed t6 find that 86 many would be willing to remain at home under their “vine and fig tres.” Mr. Watrous or’ othérs. who beleve as ne does would not make the best of s6l- diers for the reason that their hearts are not in this fight, But he mdy have to take up arms just the same, and if sp he must do as all the citizeéns of the United States have to do. fo matter how it pricks his conscience, and there-is no way out of IL Lot s hope ‘and pray that pesce wil be restored and reign as it'has Mm done before and there will be feither “war, nor rumonng w:rai” pectfi RS, Uorwich, March 22, 1918, Answer to Common Pesple.
