.TAMMANY's SURRENDER,

r. (From the New York WORLDLY ,
Even Tammany applauded every
reference to President Wilson in the
Saratoga Conference, and the plat
form begins with this tribute to the
President and his Administrations: ;,
'"We declare our faith in the wis
dom and patriotism of Woodrow Will
son and pledge him our support in
discharging the grave duties and
solving the complex problems i'm
posed upon him by the high office to
which he was called by the people. II
with singular 'fortltude and pa
tience our President has stayed the
impulsive spirit Of war and translated
for all mankind the meaning of a
Republic intent on liberty and peace.
In dealing with the painful problems
Of the. stricken Republic of Mexico
he has won and deserves the unstint-
ed approval Of his fellow-countrymen.
"We inderse the Democratic Ad-
ministration of the affairs of the Fed
eral Government, an Administration
cleaving to the line Of party progress
and keenly sensitive to the settled
will Of the country"
:Tammany likes Woodrow Wilson
no better than it did when, it led the
fight against him in the critical Pc
riod of his administrator. 1t likes
him no better than it did when
Tammany United States Senator was
the inspiration Of the conspiracy to
discredit the President by tearing up
the treaty obligations of the United
States after Mr.. Wilson had made
personal appeal to Congress. 1t likes
him no better than it did when a
majority of the Tammany Congress-
men ardently supported the Clark
Hearst-Wall street campaign against
the Presidents leadership Of the
Democratic party.
But Tammany has discovered that
the country Is with the! President,
and so 1t is with the President. 1t
has discovered that the people of the
United States are profoundly grateful
that they have a Chief Magistrate at
this time who measures foreign and
domestic policies by the standard
Of honor and Justice and integrity and
good faith. It has discovered that
without the leadership Of woodrow

THE TICKING OF TIMES CLOCK.

(From the Chicago Herald.) 3
-Four weeks ago Germany declared
war on Russia, attacked France and
invaded Belgium. How Belgium re-
sisted, how France and England came
to her aid how Germany has ad-
vanced, how Russia is advancing are
history. a.
To the humane and thoughtful Am
erican mind, regretting the war for
all and without prejudices in favor Of
any Of the combatants, the rights"
AND wrongs" Of the struggle in its
beginnings and, its continuance are
considerations put aside. They are ST.
fenced by the drumming guns.
The issue, for the pres emit is just
one Of might, and of Time. Such a
mind. therefore, tends to detach it.
self from the details of the struggle,
horribly fascinating as they are, and
listens to the ticking of Times clock.
.saa 1t Is agreed by the military ex=
perts OF all lands and parties, that
the Russian mobilization would be
about four weeks behind the French.
In the light of that agreement we
see how Time counted in the Ger
man military plan. -. r.,
That plan evidently was to over
iwhelm France before Russia could
get into action; then turn upon Rus
,sia and drive back her legions-
Four weeks have passed. Has Ger
many succeeded in her plan? We do
not know The known facts SO far
warrant no conclusion.
Yet perceiving the vital Importance
of Time. the thoughtful mind hears
above the roar of the cannon and
the rattle Of the musketry the tick
ing of Times clock as it measures
out the destiny Of nations.
