It was on this vague and tragic

offence of "cowardice" that the debate aventually centred. JOHN SIMON moved an amendment to exclude it from the list that in- volves death, and he had many supporters. Against this course it was argued that the death penalty is necessary if men are to go for-1 ward to face risks that are fright- ful. But it was also argued that' the shooting of a man, for cowar, dice will not make "his comrades any braver. The validity of all arguments on this point depends, of course, on the definition of cowar dice. Stated in simplest terms, it is a moral defect which may be manifested physically; and in an extreme form it is fairly obvious that a man may be so overwhelmed with terror that he is absolutely impotent. His nerve has gone. "For the time being his nervous system is paralysed, and he is physically incapable of movement in spite of anything contained in the King's Regulations. Or it may be, as in the case of shell-ahock, the collapse is entirely physical; men have been known to overcome this and to carry on again with valour.

The subject could be discissed indefinitely. In the end the House of Commons rejected Sir JOHN SIMONS's amendment. The death penalty for cowardice is not to be abolished-and perhaps rightly.. Cowardice must always be more of a moral than a physical weakness, and on active service men aro not shot for a momentary loss of nerve to but only for calculated refusal take their place in the firing line. THE LATE MR. H. E.
