Wilson replied that the President made
the Kaiser back down in the Sussex
case, and would beard the lion in his den
again and fight, II necessary" So
everybody ought to be satisfied. The Re.
publicans got a firm President after ALL
and the Democrats elected Wilson, and he
proved to be the real fighter they said he
was.
Therefore. we take it that between now
and Saturday the 10000 army increment
sought for by the President through vol
unteer enlistments should be heavily
"oversubscribed." Or was it all talk? Did
the young gentlemen who made hit with
the ladies' by calling Wilson weak and
vacillating" think they could get away
with a bluff when they demanded a fight
ing President? Perhaps they wish now
that Wilson had gone on writing those
notes which they professed so utterly TO
despise,
Either we give our quota of those
10000 recruits-about 1900 for Philadel-
phia-or else we must admit that the
man in the street" right here in this
city was an outrageous hypocrite during
the last presidential campaign. For Phil

He Kept Us out Of War" and voted for
Peace With Honor" which meant Peace

it turns out to he necessary. You can't
have the penny and the cake.
There have been several campaigns re.
cently--Liberty Loan, Marine Week, Red
Cross Week. There have been days when
it was like pulling teeth to get the young
men who howled loudest for war to make
good. Success crowns the efforts after a
tussle, but IL appears that it is the folk
who have been quiet all along about
"firmness" and fighting" who finally
put up.
There is an urgent need for a prompt
filing up Of the ranks of the troops who

before the selected army will be ready.
There are many times 1900 men in town
who should this week ask themselves
whether they themselves have not been
