The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-06-15

1laIl, ana gets more trouble than he expected,
Pyrrhus was disagreeably surprised at the
stubborn pugnacity displayed by these de-
spised Romans.
However, he was brave man and good
general, and after a mighty hard fight, he
whipped the Romans.
But he was not puffed up by his glorious
victory. Quite otherwise, in fact; for when
he surveyed the field, and sized up his losses,
he exclaimed in classic Greek
"Another victory like this will get my goat,
and will be lucky if [ can get safely back to
where [ started from"
The classic statement of the disappointed
Eplrote monarch, originated-as you will
know-a term which is applied to this day to
one sort of victory.
From Pyrrhus to Napoleon, quite span of
centuries stretch, but both of these never
contented conquerors supplied the military
lexicon with terms that will never be forgot
ten.
A "Waterloo" means a complete smash-up,
which hopes for no tomorrow; "Pyrrhic
victory" means, eyes, [ won it, but can't af-
ford another of the same kiro"
1t seems to me that William Hohenzollern,
whose eat-grandfather- a few

IL
CHASE, into that of King, has won Pyrrhic
Victory" over the British fleet
At first, the German accounts of the battle
in the North Sea indicated that the Teuton
ships had come boldly out of its hiding place,
whipped the entire British armada, and then j..
proudly returned to the hiding place.
of course, you must have wondered why
the German vessels did not keep right on,
cross the narrow sea, some 300 miles, and bonn
bard the big cities of England.
The next reports that came gave you the
suspicion that the German fleet was so glad
it didn't get annihilated, that its jubilations
were on that account.
Like timid base runners in the old game we
used to play, the Germans were shouting be-
cause they were able to get back to base with
out being caught out, while away from it.
The latest reports fully confirm this suppo-
sition:
The German rejoicings mean, in effect,
eve are praising God and receiving CON
gratulations, because some of us are alive
The British did not sink us all"
No, the British did not sink them all, be-
cause the German ships outran the English,
and got back to cover.
1t was a big game of "tag," and the German
scooted, after tagging" the Briton.
That's about the size of it; and, as the news
gradually filters through the censors, we can
see that Kaiser Bill now has cause to remem-
Der King Pyrrhus.
Of course you recollect what finally hap
pened to the Epirote fire-eater!
No? Then pardon me for reminding you:
After he returned from the Roman dis
asters, which overlook him after that first ex
pensive victory, he felt it necessary to do
something to restore the lustre of his dimmed
halo: so he jumped on a weaker Greek neigh
Dor, and went to beating this feeble neighbor,

Cleveland, Jan. 31.-President Will
son, in his speech before 1000 persons
at Gray's armory here, asked the au-
d1ence if it were willing to stand be-
hind the government if it took stand
to maintain the honor of the country;
said in one breath the people asked
him to keep them out of war and in
the next breath told him they were
willing to stand behind him in case Of
conflict. And he incidentally referred
to the fact, that while our navy is
ranked second by some statesmen, that
it is in reality fourth and should be
improved at once.
The president introduced statistics
to show the apparent weakness of the
navy and ominously mentioned that
'all the world outside the United
States is on fire.
Must Take One Course.
Have you reflected" he said, that
the time may come when l can not be
for both peace and war? The time
will come when l must take one course.
No one doubts, that given proper time,
we can assert any amount of force
necessary. But when the world is on
fire, how much time do you want to
take to get ready? When you know
that there are combustible materials
in the life Of the world and in your
own national life, and that the sky is
full of floating sparks from great
conf1agration, are you going to sit
down and say that when the fire be-
gins it is time to do something
about it?
Il do not believe that the fire is 60
ing to begin; but l should be surer of
it if we were ready for the fire."
do you wonder men see red?" he
declared. Our interests are slowly
being drawn into this maelstrom. 1t is
difficult to hold off, We have done So
But it has needed a great deal of
watchfulness and unremitting pa
tience'

MILWAUKEE, GREETS WILSON
Thirty Thousand Battle to Get Inside
Auditorium to Hear Speech on
Preparedness.

Milwaukee, Feb. 2. - Mil Taukee,
"the most hyphenated city" in Amer
lea, where President Wilson has been
assailed bitterly by press and pulpit,
gave the president the warmest re-
ception he has met on his present
tour. The presidents entry into the
city was a triumphal one and, accord
ing to the oldest politicians, nothing
like it was ever before witnessed.
Long before the special train ar
rived the streets were banked with
people. Thousands cheered as he
was slowly driven to his hotel. Stores
and buildings were gaily decorated.
To Keep Nation Out of War.
1t may be that President Wilson is
not popular in this city where 60 per
cent of the population is of German
extraction, but none would have gain
ed this impression from his reception
at the Auditorium.
A passage that brought the audience
to it's feet was that he would do his
best to prevent this country becoming
embroiled in war The statement that
it might be necessary for tho govern
ment to go into the munition business
was cheered. At one point he pointed
his finger at his audience and said:
81 am not arguing with you; am
telling you
Crowd Battles TO See Wilson.

waukee has a political meeting drawn
such a crowd In the hall were seat
ed 5000 persons. Outside. crowd
estimated at close to 10000 battled
to get near enough to the building to
see the president when he came cat.
That the danger Of hyphenated
Americanism is a thing Of the past
and that when the test comes every
mans heart will be first for America"
was the keynote Of the presidents
address.

Wilson in Fighting Mood.
Mr.. Wilson was In a lighting mood
throughout his addresses. In a speech
delivered early in the day, he declared
he always accepted an invitation to
fight. Later he told the railway men
he was an advocate of peace and had
struggled to keep the United States
at peace, but he considered the liber-
ty and honor of the nation even more
important than peace.
WOE to any man who plays mar
plot or who seeks to make party poll
tics or personal ambition take prece-
dence over candor, honor and unset
fish, bipartisan service" the President
declared in speaking of his defense
plan before the railroad men. He de-
clared the country expects action.
Interrupted by Applause.
This is a year of accounting, and
the accounting must be definite on the
part of every individual who wishes
to enjoy the public confidence" Mr.
Wilson said.
For my part hope every man in
public life will get what's coming to
him." he said amid laughter and ap-
plause.
In his speech before nearly 1900
business men at the railway banquet
where he cast aside almost entirely
the text of the address he had pre-
pared previously for delivery there, he
was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause.
Discusses Mexican Policy.
The President discussed his Mexican
policy vigorously. He asserted that
TO invade Mexico would mean the los
ing of confidence of the rest of the
Western hemisphere. He cited the
freeing of Cuba as an instance of
good done by the United States.
Wants Industrial Training.
Industrial preparedness, with the
military training of students in indus
trial schools was proposed by the
President. He left navy plans for Ia
ter addresses.
