whether he should have been held in

We are constrained to throw out
these suggestions because we note
that so many of our newspaper

the war should be conducted and
are we'll aware of every mistake that
the administration may make, or is
going to make, fer the next few
weeks or months, or years. as the

the least, why under the sun some of

ought to be done should remain here
