felt that tho time appropriate for pleasure I'm our
own country lew persons OF biased IDEAS irown at the
action OF President Wilson in playing golf when the nation
Is confronted by something OF crisis But all OF these
critics arc foe-gng tho wrotarnc OF thought.
Every national executive should be encouraged to take
oil the outdoor recreation which he get The head o
government faces trying situations with half the world
at war The outdoor lie i, needed at such time
than when the world is at peace II president queen
never took advantage OF tho benefit, which offers
such head of government would be mentally and phy',-
cay handicapped for tho important work OF directing pub
lie affairs
Skating golting any other fefreaon' which takes
in the open air strengthens the mind and tho body
gives relief TO the tired executive whe@haS problems to
solve OF which the private citizen has little knowledge
and cgups such chief OF government to give better scrv-
Ice to the people.
The average person cannot comprehend the strain under
which our president struggles Mr. Wilson cannot take
the public into his confidence all matters OF state o
war OF intrigue in other lands lie must keep quiet
tongue and must have keen mind To lc end that the
president may he better equipped perform his duties and
procc, the interests OF his fellow citizens let HIM take
more rather than less outdoor recreation The people insist
upon it, that the president shall have oatc to rest hi
mind in the play the greens breathe the fresh air u.
his lungs relax the muscles and maintain the health wht'
he needs to face international complications.

Among other proofs, he has given evil
dence of his faith in the democracy
and patriotism of the plain people of
Mexico. But now many in Congress
of the United States would legislate
for American citizens as if they were
galley slaves to be scourged to dung
cons" coerced into their work and
driven to the defense of their home
and country.
The insult to American workers and
the injury to their liberties in such
legislation has aroused the best fight
ing spirit in the spokesman of labor
and of the common man. The insult
is offered and the injury is proposed
by those who make profit out of war
and whose prosperity in peace is
founded on special privilege, on spe-
cial favors and law and on the power
to defraud the worker of his just
wages. The insult is being refuted
and the injury is being warded against
by representatives of the workers and
by other genuinely patriotic defenders
of American honor.
Washington is now a battle-ground
for and against-not peace, but free
dom.

made possible by President Wilson's

made possible by President Wilson's proclamation.
 Action along the lines taken by the United States, by Great Britain and other allies has not been unexpected here, in view of the revelations con- corning the foodstuffs and other es- sentials entering into Germany by way of the neutrals since the United States clamped down the lid. The evidence was quick in coming, and was heralded by vociferous protests from neutral nations of Europe Off, ficials here were satisfied that there was fire where so much smoke ap- peared, and went about their inves- legations with thoroughness.
 An official here who is conversant with the situation in Europe stated that the war would end in sixty days to six months if Sweden's trade with Germany in materials needed for am- munition and explosives was cut off Germany has made demands upon Sweden as she did upon Holland for these materials in return for other commodities. Up to the time the American embargo was declared, at least, this traffic was going forward on a scale that was alarming.
 The fate of the northern neutral nations of Europe, if other countries allied with the United States join with America and England in declaring a complete embargo, is moot question here. Obviously they cannot keep up their traffic with Germany on the present scale without outside aid in the shape of foods.
 With the allied nations in an lem bargo combination" South America will be practically the only field left open to the neutral nations of Europe, and Germany's actions in many di- rections have left those countries in no spirit to send their commodities to nations which may aid Germany if other more friendly markets can be found.

proved bill, much fairer to the tax payer and to the government"
 Senator Pomerene of Ohio and Salisbury and Walcott of Delaware criticised the restoration of the special munitions tax They felt that muni- tions manufactures, having to pay the war profits tax, ought not to be obliged to meet an extra levy. Sen ator Salisbury expressed the belief that the munitions tax was a product of pro-German propaganda.
 The advance in second-class post age rates was criticised as tending to injure many publications. Senator Simmons defended the tax as neces- sary. He had read into the record a letter from the postmaster general, stating that even with the increase. the government would lose $4O,000,- 900 year in handling newspapers and magazines.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa attacked the bill as tending to bring industrial ruin to the country. He favored a much higher tax on the country's s wealth. Senator Cummins calculated that the expenses of the first year of the war would be approximately $22,- O0O,OOO,0OO
 "Of this stupendous amount we pro- pose to raise by increased taxation less than $3,OO0,000,000 and borrow the remainder" he said. "I protest and a most grievous injustice to those who come after us. It is ,unwise and ineXcusable."
