(3) Don't be unnerved by personal or family bereavements. (4) Don't be frightened at the casualty lists. (o) Don't think that you know how to^ wacre the campaign and that the War Office does not;, accordingly, don't write to the papers telling generals and admirals what they ought to do. (6) Dori't get nervous becav.se the nrosress of 6 the war is slow, it-can only be slow in these stages. (7) Don't believe all you read in the~ newspapers, particularly when it comes froTi Berlin. (8) Don't underrate the enemy. (9) Don't waste breath in attempt- ] ing to ascertain what is to happen to the German Emperor in this world or the next.
