Every^Englishman holds asan instinctive faith the dictum that more important than the gun is the man behind it. It is a brave creed, and it has been bravely proved in this long combat. . For the Aisne, amongst the many lessons it has taught, has taught none greater nor more moment-
ous tiian this — thatZalnacKlne, no matter how powerful or complex, remains but an insecure buttress against the two- hands of a man'.         -•
Let me illustrate *with a ^which .has reached me from the scene of the struggle, says a Times correspondent. Somewhere at t^rfiFfront is' a' little valley ^-protected by a wooded hill. Through the yaHey passes a roadway leading towards the heights. From the heights one looks across the river to the entrenchments /of the enemy. . In order to direct an accurate fire across the river into the little pith that I have in mind, and by which . come supplies and foodstuffs, it would' be necessary-tb have a signaller uipon the hill. ¦
But without having any such signaller the Germans were able
drop their shells exactly upon the path. How? Because, apparently,- in peace time feliey had surveyed this ground carefully, decided where their guns were<to be placed, • and at what angle exactly the firing must be conducted. v ' ¦ ¦ i '.. ASSAULT WITH COLD.STEEL. being tbgjve thein;;ti?e use:of

A THRILLING STORY.
Here, for instance, is a scene described by a man who took! part in it. One rainy night as great guns were bellowing from f the distant heights and great shells bursting1 vvith monotonous regularity over the trenches the order was luddenjy given to charge. Our soldiers got up. warily, towards the* enemies' lines, seeking all- the coverthe-ground affords them. .During long hours they, have .lain in their sodden burrows exposed to an insistent fire. /Nerves are a-jangle; tempers on edge . . .'.   "
At last, they arej upon the enemy. ''Atdast they can prove their valour with cold steel. The enemy, cornered, must fight or succumb. Wounas are given and taken, in fierce hand-to-hand combat. Now, at last, it is man-to-man.
Suddenly the sound of loud and continuous laughter is heard, Racked by emotions, one of our soldiers has passed the borders of restraint. He is transformed —a very figure of destruction. It is no longer dull" courage but a blaze of anger that sweeps the ranks of the enemy like a/ire, striking terror by its Very/native ferocity.           .     /' X
Machines have rior^ply to suth zeal—of-passion\y rierer yet^w machine conceived that could oppose resistence to this living wrath/of men.. -The tide of battle rolls back, the enemy fall away broken and discomfited, his attack dissipated and shattered. The sound of that terrible laughter rings through the quiet valley an everlasting menace.
The.,-great war rnachine" has been weighed, it would seem, and found wanting. The hands of men have been raised against it, and its vaunted perfection is revealed as a mere balancing of innumerable wheels, the breaking of one of which spells ruin for all. On the banks of the Aisne -JBritons and Frenchmen areNproving day after day that the zeal of liberty v, and of country are greater things than a calculated rapi n z.X.     ,
