US. WAR VOTE MEYER
WAS UNANIMOUS
Always Some Group Of Ma
tional Congressman Have
r Tried to Avoid Hostilities.
PRESENT NO EXCEPTION
BY A. r. GROH.

A man remarked the other day that
lie would "feel Better about this war
if congress had voted unanimously in
favor of it."
Good sir, your ignorance OF history
is as great as your ignorance of hui
man nature.
If you will look back through the
history of this peerless and highly
respected land of the free you will
find that congress never voted unan-
Imously for any war into which we
entered. Yet every war has proven to
be a Just war and war for liberty
and the high things of national and in
iividual life.
Just nineteen years ago this month
the halls of congress reverberated
with oratory and hot debate over the
question of freeing Cuba from the
Spanish oppressor. There was no
doubt that the people of the little
island were being outrageously perse-
cuted. That was admitted.
That Cuban Wrangle.
But did all the congressman and
senators vote in favor of freeing the
little island? Not so you could notice
It. Upon the final resolution declaring
That the 'Cubans were and of a right
ought to be free and bidding Spain
get her soldiers out of Cuba and her
battleships out of Cuban waters, the
vote in the senate was AZ for and IS
against. In the house $40 voted for
the resolution and against it.
How does that compare with the
Louise vote, of 373 to 50 and the senate
vote of 81 to E in favor of the resolu-
ton last week?
Perhaps you imagine the north went
into the civil war unanimously. Far
from it. There was a great deal Of
opposition all through the north and
in congress to President Lincoln's
war policies in 1861.
More Peace Advocates.
The Mexican war had the same, his
tory back in 1916. In spite Of long
series of outrages against American
citizens, President Polk had a hard
time getting congress in line for war.
Calhoun, the most powerful demo-
crat of the time, was against it.
The final vote in the senate was AZ
to 2, and in the house l73 to Ia. Z 2
Well, let's 60 back to the American
revolution. Perhaps you think the
Declaration of Independence was
adopted and signed without dissent
ing voice. 1t was, in fact, adopted
unanimously, July a, 1T6.I But this
was only after long debate.
t- War With England.
The war of 1872 was launched only
after much opposition in congress
President Madison himself was moi
heartily in favor of it. 1t is said that
Henry Clay forced him into it.
And on the, final vote, after much
debate, congress voted for that wal
by only a very narrow margin. The
vote in the house was 70 to 49 and in
the senate, after the declaration had
been held up for two weeks, the vote
was 10 to Is.
So you see, my dear sir, you can
feel just as good as you want to over
the way the declaration for human
liberty passed congress last week, for
it passed by very respectable ma
iority indeed ht

Less founded perhaps in fact is the rep
resentation of the child kneeling on the
grave of her severed hand. But brutally
true in spirit if not in literal fact is the
indictment carried in the picture Of the
mother nursing her baby IN the ruins OF
her home. regarded by the sneerlng Prus-
sian officer. For whether you call it Requl-
sition, or Robbery. or Rape, whether you
apply it to the food or coal or copper or
machinery or horses or wool or clothing or
men of Belgium or to the young girls of
Lille, or TO the looting exploits of Eitel, or
to the wantonly destroyed fruit trees OF
France. or to the fish requisitioned from
the poor fishermen Of Falyy and sold for
the personal profit Of the commanding

trinkets, the coflins burst open, the poor
bones still to be seen scattered at the Dot
tom of the graves, the animating spirit is
the same.
Sometimes the exhibition Of the spirit is
disguised under the garb Of a sale, even
though an enforced one; as when the stock
and supplies of the farmers of Croix-
Moligneaux were "requisitioned' and re-
sponsibility for payment acknowledged in
the form Of bonds redeemable after the

the wide range Of viola
tions Of the decencies of war, hith-

IlODS OF NUe OcCcnClcS OF war, IllH-
erto undreamt of by belligercnt,
accounts in part for the variety of theme
and treatment in the war cartoons of the
Allies, and particularly Of the French.
The Gallo genius has been quick to
utilize every opening. with the result that
France is flooded with pictured appeals to
the patriotism Of its citizens, more spirit
ual and more telling than those Of any
other country. France is free to depict all
the unlovely traits of the invader, and free
Belgium, through the great master Of the
cartoon. Racmaekers, keeps the oppressor
writhinc, if not with shame, with futile
rage.
But occupied Belgium cannot express
her feelings with like freedom and must
content herself with ndirection. So it is
that the Belgians in their cartoons make
sport chiefly of themselves and the troubleS
;hat have come upon them through the in
vader. If because Of him, potatoes, al
most their chief food, disappear, out comes
a -bordered announcement Of the de-
cease Of Madame Pomme de Terre, or
cartoon showing the arrival of the new
crop after passing through the kartoffel-
central. When reduced, as has happened to
clothing themselves in the sacks that
brought their American flour, they invent
new modes Of wearing them. The soaring
of war prices is shown as a hopeless race
between housekeepers.
Other cartoons have for their themes
some Of the numberless regulations of the
occupying authorties-the requirement
that all doors shall be left open on a given
data the enforced muzzling Of dogs, and
the like. The substitution Of zinc for the
vanished nickel money, Of cows and oxen
for the requsitioned automobiles and
horses, the original musical call of the
military automobiles, which the Belgian
small boy bluffed the invader into giving
up, and which was provided with various
opprobrious words by the populace-these
and hundred others effectually hold up
the German foe TO the scorn or amusement
Of the initiated. though no names are
named. These Belgian cartoons are in
color, generally crude, as the specimens
show in drawing, and often too frank In
treatment for our taste.
Many of the French cartoons apply
equally well to Belgium, though they could
not appear there. That of the German
sentry testing the weather is true to the
Belgian climate and the Belgian urchin.
Still more true is the touching care eX-
hibited by the ield-gray hero for his little
charge, while the camera records his kind
ly solicitude Such cartoon is not a lam
poon but a statement of historical fact.
