Seven Months Work.

Now that the exact figures are pub
Ished, it is possible TO take in the
meaning of the second Liberty loan.
The most important feature is not the
size Of the loan II is big, but not as
big as the largest British loan and
not up TO the maximum, though that
Is Of no great consequence. The big
fact about the loan is that there were,
in round numbers. 9,400,0 900 subscrib-
ers. There is a fact for Senator La
Toilette, Morris Hilquitt and others
who think this country is not in favor
of the war to consider with a view to
changing their minds,
But If that figure leaves them un-
convinced, let them look at Secretary
Bakers latest statement on the
strength Of the enlisted forces now in
the service of the United States. TAX
ing them all together, there are 2,0e7..
39l men fighting or in training to fight
for the United States. All but $4,000
of them are volunteers, and the men il

willingly as the men in any other

Mr.. Wilson In a Tight Place.

Colonel Roosevelt loses no oppor-
tunity, and sometime invents the
opportunity, to direct a criticism at
President Wilson, not only for what
he claims are sins of commission, but
also for sins Of omission. This habit
has been growing in the colonel to
such q degree that the New York
World is fully Justified in shooting the
following shaft Of sarcasm at him:
From Mr.. Rooseyelts latest fulmi-
nation Americans will learn that Pres
ident Wilson was responsible for the
M"Lemore resolution, by which it was
proposed that congress, in obedience
to the kaiser's demand, should surren-
/ der the rights Of the United States on
/ the sea. Little by little the colonel is
passing final judgment on all things
and the culprit in every case is the
same
In the course of time. no doubt, we
shall hear from Sycamore Hill thai
I il was Mr., Wilson who wrote the ulti,
matum to Serbia, and a little later We
shall be told that it was President vii
son who led the German armies int
Belgium. II the war lasts another
year we may also get evidence tina
the president bombarded the Rheimt
cathedral and commanded the U-boa
that sank the Lusitania.
