THE WISDOM OF THOMPSON

They ATTACK me. : complain,
Mayor THOMPSON Of Chicago.
because ! do not believe i
sending our youths 10 the
trenches of Europe without their
consent, instead Of providing an
adequate army to prevent home
invasion.
1t is hard to understand the
peculiar blessings that are sup
posed to lie in having the wal
fought on American soil instead
of French or German soil. Mayor
THOMPSON and his fellow think
ers all seem to set great store on
having the Germans come over
here. They would rather hght
HINDENBURG in New Jersey and
Mas sachusetts and Virginia
than in France. The Chicago
Mayor would have US raise TIE
army We are raising, keep il
here until the French and Brit.
ish are defeated. and then adj
vance CALAMITY to meet the Ger
mans all along our coast.
If THOMPSON we're alone ii
this sort of argument, it wouln
not be worth while to pay any
attention to him. But with his
nonsense about using our army
against home invasion" in
stead of in the trenches of Eu-
rope" he has concentrated in d
sentence the whole absurdity
which more skilful laborers in
the pro-German cause manage to
conceal behind a maze Of words.
We are going to fight the Ger
mans in France to keep from
having to fight them in the
United States, bee Iuse we re-
gard fighting them in the United
States as a dreadful prospect.
THOMPSON and his more intel
ligent companions act and talk
as if that prospect were a delight
full one.

Just why members of a sect or
