The Chicago editorial idea Of pa
triotsm seems to be to light hick-
ory torch, descend into the govern
ment powder magazine and dust it out
AS a sample Of the Chicago brand
of pernicious, insidious disloyalty is
the Washington correspondence to the
Tribune of II. NJ. Hyde, ex-editor Of
the Technical World. Mr.. Hyde has
begun series OF articles in which he
proposes TO show that the admins
tration has brought the nation to the
point of defeat and humiliation.
One of the most prominent and
active men (unnamed) in the war
activities of tho government" tells Mr..
Hyde that the war situation at Wash
ington is most critical in our history.
Lack Of organization and team work
is paralyzing all efforts. There is
waste of time, money and effort and
there's little progress.
u Being convinced of this distinguish
ed back-biter's sincerity, Mr.. Hyde
talks with other high-ups equally dis
tinguished and nameless, who agree
that the situation is alarming and they
admit that the progress SO far made
in almost every line of wartime &C
tivities has been shamelessly slow
and bungling." Read tomorrow's Trib-
une and get; more Washington scandal
and gioonE etc, etc!
At this time when the morale Of
the allies seems to be in rags, whip

can ask nothing better than that the
American morale be beaten to a fraZ

This may sound queer to the lay

the same salaries everywhere, soldiers
should cost no more In enc region than
