WOOD AND WILSON

A DEMOCRATIC newspaper cor

tries to make it appear that by
permitting General Wood to return
to France, the government is grant
ing a favor to that very excellent
soldier and implies that some time
in his past the general had been
guilty of habits of political intri-
que" The local subsidized newspaper
organ of the administration, follow
ing out a persistent effort of the
Presidents supporters everywhere
makes much of this lie and publishes
it as a vindication of the charge
that the President has been unfav-
orably disposed toward Wood largely
on account of the soldiers outspoker
nature, if not his party politics.
Wood needs no defense. All
Europe pronounces him Americas
ablest officer" But evidently the ma.
tional administration does not share
that opinion. When the war broke
out an effort was made to shelve the
General by removing him from the
command of the important Depart.
ment of the East and giving him the
minor command of the South. He
was too big for that small berth ant
went to France. Returning wounded
he was summoned as an expert or

scene of the conflict to testify be

America Goes in Singing

philadelphia Ledger.l
The American troops will fight
side by side with the British and
French troops and the Star Spangled
Banner will float beside the French
and English flags in the plains OF
Picardy."
This is the official answer to Gen
eral Pershing's words to General
Foch:
"All that we have are yours, to
dispose of them as you will"
When Pershing stood at the tomb
of Lafayette and uttered the briefest
and finest war address that has been
delivered, Lafayette, we are here"
he spoke for the American spirit. to
the soul of the French people. Our
country from sea to sea ratified the
message of a soldier unafraid. 1t

THE voice of one for millions,
In whom the millions rejoice
For giving their one spirit voice"
Even so with Pershing's offer of our
whole armed force at once, to beat
back the tidal wave of the flagellated
myrmidons of Prussia. The coun-
| try that we love will send into No

mptor-trucks and rocking, rumblins
wagons rooted with brown, and

marching columns of men pressing
forward to relieve the war-worn
thousands in the trenches with their
irrepressible youth and strength and

America is in the fight because

could not endure to wait an hour

Union Jack and the Tricolor were in
the thick of the hardest battle ever
waged on earth. and were falling

The Kaiser's presence, not exact

divided among equal powers. Ma
poleon did not have a submarine
with which to destroy Great Britain's S
power. But Germany is willing to
fight the whole world if only she can
succeed in her attempt to wipe out
the British Navy. Then she con-
quers not only Europe, as Napoleon
did, but Asia, Africa, and America.
If America had not come into the
war, or if America had refused to
sell food and munitions to the Allies,
Europe would already have been
conquered If Germany wins, then
there is nothing for North and South
America to do but to build up their
navies and standing armies as big
as possible, for when Germany
strikes she hits suddenly and fright
fully.
Nations must look ahead. Individ-
uals can be short-sighted, because
they die anyhow. But not nations.
If we do not win now, while Great
Britain and France are able to fight,
we shall have to be armed to the
teeth for years and centuries ahead,
as long as Germany rules the world.
A huge and permanent army and
navy besides taking our boys ana
workingmen every year for military
service, means low wages, long hours
of labor, suppression of labor un-
ions, suppression of free speech, re-
peal of labor legislation on behalf
of women and children, and all the
hardships that millions of working
men have come to America to escape.
1t is bad enough to be compelled
to make this one tremendous effort
right now to win the war. 1t will be
far worse to be compelled to be
ready all the time for another like
it.

Twenty years ago the Gar of Rus

many refused. Later Great Britain
offered to join with Germany and cut
down their navies, but the Kaiser

If Germany defeats Great Britain,
she will take over the British Navy.
She will then be far and away the

Mississippi away from Spain.
But though Spain conquered near

Great Britain. The British Navy
compelled Spain and France to lei

ELECTION OF LENROOT

"HE election of Irvine L. Lenroot
to the United States Senate by
the voters of Wisconsin will be
received with delight by patriotic
people everywhere throughout the
country as proving beyond question
the loyalty of Wisconsin to the Union
and the failure of its pro-German
element to swing it to the cause of
Kaiserism. Lenroot is first of all a
thorough patriot. Like President Will
son he was very slow in making up
his mind, as a member of Congress,
that it was necessary for America
10 enter the war as belligerent but
once in none has been more valiant
than he in his defense of the Union
nor more energetic in his efforts to
help the President in getting the
war program quickly under way. Not
only did he make no plea for pro-
German support in the campaign in
his own State, but he distinctly re-
pudiated it and openly said that he
wanted no votes but those of loyal
Americans.
Evidently, judging from the re-
turns, the pro- -Germanism of Wiscon-
sin has more noise than substance,
although it is serious enough. I'm
questionably, both Lenroot and Jo-
seph E. Davies, the Democratic can
didate, polled the votes of loyalists
-, - Il
on Berger, the Socialist, who took
no pains to hide his American
views. The preponderance of the true
American voters over the hyphenates
in the State may be judged from the
fact that Lenroot had at least 49,
900, Davies, $4,000. and Berger
$1,000 votes.
Another element in the campaign
was the reputation of the national
Administrations effort to inject
politics into patriotism by appealing
TO the voters on the ground that only
by the election of Davies, Presiden
Wilson's personal choice for the
place, could Germany be convinced
that Wisconsin was loyal. The man
ner in which the voters placed theil
disapproval on this questionable
method of mastering Democratic
majorities at Washington will prob
ably have the effect of causing thu
Democratic bosses to go slow in EN-
ploying that foolish argument again
