TOUCH OF FANATICISM NEEDED “The nation requires something more than phrases about freedom,” writes Mr Gerald Barry, in the “News Chronicle.” “The desire to be asked to do more and to give more, which is the most significant feature. of the current national mood, is due to nothing else than a passionate longing .on the part of every citizen for a cause that will implant in his heart the burning and impelling personal conviction that this was is his own individual war and must be won for his own individual salvation. An Army fights the better for a touch of fanaticism, just as a people does. From With-" in, the British Army is now being trained into a magnificent fighting service.
