Very many persons who have all the skill 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 p^sons 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 found 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, 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 £0 nervous when first called upon to address a jury in court that he de- termined to adopt strenuous methods ill order to cure liimself of this fail- ing. Dressing himself in his shab- biest clothes, and taking only a small triadstone-bag with him, he set out on a tour, making "tub-thumping" i-pceches in parks and market-places in country districts, and making it a lulo not even to decide on a subject lor 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 a.ttack 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. PAINTS GERMANY AS STILL HOPEFUL THE EXPERIENCE OF A BRITISH OBSERVER. Peace Is Desired, But It Must Be On i Terms Dictated by the Teutons. j The London Times publishes the fol- j lowing account of the true condition ', of Germany "from an unimpeachable j 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 truth 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 I 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. i "Unless I am entirely mistaken â€" and my experience of life in Germany has been continuous â€" no essential , change has taken place among the I 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- I 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.

"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 in every detail by the Government in order to carry out its policy that the public has no opportunity of acquir- ing views of its own. Popular con- fidence in official management and in the official accounts of things is still absolute." NOTHING BETTER FOR SUMMER >ve:ar Vforn by Every f^ssrribcK of the Famsly GERMAN MUSIC FOR TURKS. Only Britain the Enemy. Our firm opinion is that there is in this war no room for a compromise with England, says the Vossische 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 En^Tland 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 n ex- tent that would allow us to impose peace upon England, willy-nilly, and I to make her recognize our right to ex- I istence, our right to the future, our right to access to the world and to the world's oceans.

Conscience Is Easy. j "It must not be supposed that the i German people have an uneasy con- science. The Imperial Chancellor's de- ' claration to the Reichstag at the be- ginning of the war that Germany was j 'doing wTong' in invading Belgium was never taken as a confession of guilt. His phrase that 'necessity I knows no law' meant and still means I to Germans that Germany found her- ] self in a condition of what is called Notwehr â€" that is to say, of legiti- mate self-defence. I " 'Surrounded by a riijg of jealous ! enemies who had conspired to assail and crush her, they claimed that her j only chance was in breaking through the ring by all possible means and of 'vindicating by the sword her right to ; free existence.' I "Statements by people like Harden ; that Germany wantedNwar, and made I it deliberately, are regarded as here- ' sy. Harden has been badly received , by audiences in provincial towns when he has attempted to propound this I view. I "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- I marck as brooding over Paris and pointing to a repetition of the mighty \ deeds of 1870 and 1871. The Battle I of the Marne was taken as a proof I 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 Staff. Fighting for E.xistence. j "As time went on the conviction i 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. j "Gradually the bitterness of feeling toward England increased. It is now intense. The Germans had been hopeful that, in the event of a Euro- i pean war, England would at least be I ' neutral. Some even dreamed that ! ! England might be on their side. They ! never imagined that she would declare ' j war upon them. The declaration of I war was consequently a great blow, though the phrase of the King of Ba- \ I varia â€" 'So much the mbetter; the more i I varia â€" '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 j 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 particularly true of States, like Bavaria, where I spent some time be- fore leaving the country. "If the Bavarians could be given a smashing blow there might be a rapid end of the war, but they are now as persuaded as they were at the begin- ning that their Generals and their soldiers cannot b« defeated.

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- j tical meaning. I For more than a week, we are told, German instrumentalists and singers, rruiAt and female, have been delight- ^•i,'^ the Turks with the works of Bee- thoven, Bach, Brahms, Schubert, and Schumann, as well as with the Live- liest strains of Johani 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. .A.11 the prin- ; ces and princesses play some instru- ment or other, and several of them j have developed such talent as to be i 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- 1 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."
