THE CASE AGAINST HEARST

Colonel Roosevelt, In his contro-
versy with Postmaster General Burle-
son. has made out a pretty good case
against William r. Hearst and Arthur
Brisbane. and incidentally against Mr..
Bur!eson himself He has prepared a
letter to Senator Poindexter reviewing
the whole quarrel which is published
today. In advance of It's publication
the colonel had issued some CON-
pilations of editorial declarations
which the Hearst papers have con-
tanned during the year since America
entered the war. They are remark
able. when assembled, for the tone Of
pro Germanism which they contained.
One Of the most remarkable pas.
sages, perhaps. is that which Mr.,
Roosevelt quotes from the Washing.
ton Times. Brisbane's paper, of July
16. 1917 when Russia still was a
fighting ally Of the United States and

AMERICAS STRENGTH
(From Saturday DailYl

AS Is customary whenever he makes
a public address, Premier Lloyd George
crowded a great deal Of solid thought
and information into his speeches at
Edinburgh yesterday From an Ameri'
can viewpoint probably the most Inn
portant thing he said was that the
strength America can muster in tho
battle zone today Is equal to only
about one-flfth Of that which was
handed over to Germany when Russia
collapsed.
This is a fact which Is easy Of con.
firmation but there are few Americans
to whom it had occurred In just that
light. We have been so concerned
with our more or less successful ef.
forts to hasten the day of our actual
participation in the war on scale
worthy of real consideration that, to
some extent, we have lost sight Of tbs
Ipredicament in which our allies were
placed by Russia's sudden detection.
The benefit to Germany was a
double one when Russia quit. Not on
lily were millions OF foemen removed
from the field of combat but many
German divisions were relieved OF
duty on the eastern front and made
available to service elsewhere. We
know how they were rushed to the
Italian front to bolster up the failing
strength of the Austro- Hungarians and
turn an Italian advance into costly
and disastrous retreat. We know, too
how this removal of troops was CON
tinued by Germany In open violation
OF the agreement made with Russia a.

[From The Courier Bureau

Washington, D. c., May 25-Senato,
Cummins has raised in the senate a
proposition which Will sooner or later
have to be given the serious attention
OF congress and Of the administration
that of how to return to this country
when the war is over the vast forces
of American troops sent abroad and
the immense quantities of guns and
war material.
In the rush of sending men and
equipment and supplies abroad this
problem has hardly been thought of.
One reason for this Is the fact there
are no Indications now that an early
peace need be expected. The war, as
far as outward signs go, may easily
last for several years or even longer.
On the other hand, such is the uncer-
tainty Of military, diplomatic and so
cial events that it might terminate In
another year.
Senator Cummins has expressed his
view of the return of American troops
and material when the. war ends
through a resolution he has introduced
calling for an agreement for the CO.
ordinate use Of all allied shipping for
the homeward transportation of such
troops and material when peace is de-
clared. At the same time, he would
have this transportation carried on to
the exclusion Of ordinary commerce.
Figures lately brought out in tire
house indicate troops are being sent
to France by this country at the rate
of more than 100000 month. Con-
gresham Caldwell of New York gave
recent Official figures showing 10000
has been sent in the first ten days OF
May. This is at the rate of about 270.'

find itself in the position Of having

A MILLION FIGHTING MEN
(From Thursday Daily

| (From Thursday Daily
The first shipload OF American
troops which sailed to France to fight
in the war zone under General Per
shing landed June 26. 1917, eleven
months ago. Representative Caldwell
OF New York told the house yesterday
that year from that day America
will be represented In France by l.
DOC, 900 fighting men. In the first ten
days Of May. he said, 10000 soldiers
were sent abroad.
Government authorities believe that
the armed forces OF the United States
| on the western front will be as large
as those Of Great Britain by August l.
| This is achievement. Whatever may
have been our errors and our short
comings in the first year after we de-
clared war. the second year Is start
ing most auspiciously. We are not
forced to depend on promises nor to
fear that these promises cannot be re-
deemed. We can point now to some
thing accomplished.
There is reassuring evidence Of
many sorts that the administration has
set about the solution of the countless
big war problems with a businesslike
determination which will not content
itself in the future. as in the past.
merely with programs. We had
enough programs, goodness knows, a
year ago, but when we came to cast
ing up accounts we were amazed at
the extent to which programs had
collapsed or fallen short Of realization.
Now we hear not so much Of what
1t is intended to do as what has been
done. The dispatch OF 10000 soldiers
in ten days on a voyage across the
Atlantic and through the zone OF
danger does not mean merely that q
certain number of transports pulled
out of eastern ports and brought up
against the French coast. 1t means
that each Of these vessels was con-
voyed by naval vessels and ran III
safety through the seas infested with
U-boats. 1t means that each OF the
10000 men was equipped for war. that
he had been trained In camp here In
America, that he and the great army
Of which he Is part are to be main
tanned in Europe, received there IN
camps and billets already prepared,
trained in the arts of modern fighting
and given q place in the line OF de-
tense which. even this summer, may
become line Of offense and vengeance
in the name of civilization and democ.
racy.
| It means, too, that Americas war
department and the various agencies
through which 1t operates are working
free Of the entangling red tape that
kept them and the country marking
thine through several months which
should have been devoted to inteDcsve,
effective action.

have been transported eastward

lrine warfAr0with, tho-looo olsonly ths
