Talk about a short war" said Mr..
Dale in New York this week, I'VE
shall be mighty lucky if we get
through this war in two years, at
such an expense and with such a
loss of men as will run into hundreds
of thousands.

partment head in Washington:
Wake up! i wish / could take
them with me to Vimy Ridge, where
the guns do not crash or detonate,
but just explode in one continual
roa;
II did not go into the front line
trenches-f don't tllink it is any
place for a civilian--but / walked
among the stark, dead bodies OF gal
liant Englishmen and Canadians,
some of their faces crushed into the
ooze and some-horribly changed
and ghastly--up turned TO the sky.
"Why unburied? Because men are
SO precious and the German aviators
so yigilant that even q burying party
in the open is Immediately marked
and cut down by their quick firing
guns t''
Yes, | wish | had some of those
easy-chair Washington department
fellows at Vimy Ridge, men who,
after eight months Of war and not
enough guns in Flance to equip our
men, are still telling the newspapers
that everything is all right!
Must Cut Red Tape.
They seem to think we have done
great things. Let me say that UNI
less we begin cutting red tape, elm
mating lost motion, doing away with
Incompetent suryivals OF WORKOUT

talk about a short war and get busy
rushing % supplies, guns and muni-
tons to our troops in France, CD
men, more men and men by the mil
lion, we are not going to win this
war;
Congressman Dale had no trouble
finding anything in France but the
American troops. Although their
numbers and location are, no doubt,
thoroughly known to the enemy, a
most mysterious silence met him
everywhere He actually had to
chase them up himself and he new
er would have found the Vermont

line--if it had not been for some per-
sonal friends who told him where to
