Mr. Hodglns.t when he says w don't
want any "Spartan spirit ' In this roun
try, is right. I have often thought of
Hptrta In connection with the war. The
career of Sparta is one of the most In
structive chttpters in history. The Spar
tans were the Prussians of their time.
They were not bessts, like the Prus
sians, and thny knew nothing of kultur.
But in other restwets the comparison
niny be made. Their policy was a coldly
calculating selfishness, based upon an
iron militarism. The result wss utter
barrenness. There wss nothing that
was fruitful or spermatic in their polity.
They have left to tin world nothing but
a repellent nsme, whereas the genius of
Athens hws enriched all time. Not only
has Athena left to humanity an Imper
ishable heritage of things of the mind.
It was Athens that stved Europe from
the Persians. Spurt was absent from
Marathon and Salami.
There Is no more splendid page In Ms
tory than Athens dpflsnce of Persia.
Persia wss the Ttoms of thst time and
ruled the world from India to the
Dsnuhe. Greece wss too small tn be no
ticed In the Brest campaigns of Cyrus,
nut when the rest of the world hsd
been overrun and plundered he turned
his sttntlon to Oreere. He died about
this time, but his policy wss continued
under his successors. When the Persian
smbsssndnrs were sent to Greece to de
mand earth and water In token of sub
mission the Greek slates were terrified,
ss they well might be. The world wss
prostrate at tha feet of Persia. To re
slat her seemed raadneas. As the am
haasadora passed on their way ths Greek
states yielded. Put when they arrived
In Attica with their demand for earth
and water they were thrown Into a
ditch and told to take all they wanted.
For Greece to stsnd out against Persls
was like PelRlum standing out sgslnat
Oermsny. only it was a more drapers te
thing, ftehlnd Belgium were Rnaland,
France and Russia. Behind Greece wss
nothing. But Greece illd not stand out.
Athens alone, amaller than srt Amertcsn
county, made the stand. She tried to
rouse the other Greek statea. but they
were too timid to respond. Really there
Is nothing tn history comparable to the
slsnd of Athens. Alone, or almost alone,

to ths Asiatic Greeks. As we see It now
her stsnd wss not the senseleaa, fool
hardy thing it seemed, but one of the
moat daring and splendid strokes of po
litical genius the world hns ever known.
It waa not only this, tt was a great

In history excels it.
