HARDEN's GREAT TEACHING.

Maximilian Harden, the great German
editor, and recognized as one of the worlds
cieareSts-seeing publicists, recently de-
cared in his paper that Alsace-L Lorraine
must be restored to France, and Trentino
and Trieste to Italy if the probable cause Of
future wars was to be abolished
Harden is a loyal German; he is not
seeking to divide the Fatherland, Ms only
hope is to light its path through the fear
i'll storm now.raging. That too is and al
Ways has been, the object of the United
States-struggling for humanity during
peace, struggling for humanity dur
ing neutrality, struggling for humanity
during war. AS President Wilson said that
the world must be made safe for demo-
cracy, so Harden has said that when
Lurope energies from this war, it must not
t.nd any nationality oppressed; the two
men are intellectual brothers; and Harden
closes his analysis with the declaration that
peace of the world must be assured
through some form of confederation of the
powers, somewhat like the American or the
Swiss confederation.
No wonder Harden's paper was sup
pressed. But there is encouragement in
lie hope that from such q teacher many
have already learned the truth-and truth
will prevail!

Congressman Resent Charge
That They Haze Been Idle

and remained in session until six
o'clock or later, with several night
sessions, and with no weekend hOli-
days, except in two or three in
stances.
The members of the House are
angry over what they consider the
pubic's lack of appreciation and
understanding of their efforts to
speed up to the limit Many mem
hers are charging that the executive
departments are themselves showing
4 lack of hustle and are shifting the
blame to Congress.
Several congressman have become
so exercised over the criticism di,
rected towards them that they are
sending out letters to their constitu-
ents by the thousands explaining their
side of the situation.
Congressman Carter of Massachu
setts has prepared a speech on the
subject outlining the war measures
enacted by Congress and those in
course of enactment. Another mem
her, Congressman Campbell of Kan
sas, (Republican), is outspoken in his
charge that if the departments of thl
government had done as much IN fOul
months as Congress has done, there
would be much more material now
on the way to win the war.
"Let me give you a list of the mair
things Congress has done since Apri
2" said Congressman Campbell in dis
cussing the question. But before
do that let me make it plain tina

DOCTORS AND sELECT1vE DRAFT

Is selective draft to be applied to doctors
next?
Some such measure has already been
taken by England; now it is stated that the
volunteering of doctors here is as unsatis-
factory as the volunteering of men-hrst
because not enough answer the call, and
secondly, because such an indiscriminate
system is liable to cause hardships at home
Of the 100000 physicians in the United
States, less than half are available or de
sirable for the eXacting service armies on
the firing line require; and draft, it is
argued, based upon special classification by
census, would accomplish the desired re-
suit by bringing into the army the best fit
ted for its uses and by leaving at home
those needed by the community.
That draft of doctors is legal, is estab-
lished in an opinion from the Judge Advo-
cate-General.

Washington Bureau,


Washington, D. c., Aug. 17.-Con-
gress is growing entirely out of pa
tience with the continual charge that
it is wasting time in talking while
almost every executive branch of the
government waits on it for legislation
before it can turn a wheel.
The resentment of this charge is
more bitter in the House Of Repre-
sentativus, where every legislative
matter of Importance has been han
died with the utmost eXpediency, than
in the Senate. The House members
point out that never in the history
Of the United States have matters
of such immense Importance been
handled with such promptness as the
war measures since war was declared
on April End. They call attention
to the fact that the House passed
all the war legislation; the two food
bills and the war revenue bill almost
Two months ago and has since been
waiting for the Senate to catch up.
The Senate, proud Of its reputation
Of being the greatest deIiberative
body in the world, takes not a great
deal of heed Of the public clamor

Senate goes along in its usual way,
with unlimited debate, and a feeling
that it must perfect what it considers

ionally takes any notice at all of the
demand that it speed up, its members
point with assurance to it's record of
/ legislation and are able to show that
the progress made compares favor
ably with that OF former years.
In fairness to the Senate it can be
said that considering the hours per
week it has put in it has worked
harder than any previous Congress
Until two or three years ago it was
the custom of the Senate to meet
