CAMPAIGN OF vILLIFIcATION

''The Republican Publicity As
sociation, which is collecting
$500. 900 from manufacturers
to take congress away from the
president" says the Providence
News, has begun its campaign
Of villification in a statement
sent broadcast, accusing the
president and the democratic
party of using the war as a mask
to find jobs in the Labor Depart
ment for men who cannot find
work elsewhere.
''The republican attack is pub
lished with the title. Under the
Robe of War; and insinuates
that the administration is black
jacking congress into voting
money for alleged war purposes,
when the real intent is to find
jobs for the faithful. No repub-
lican senator would dare stand
sponsor for such a scurrilous at
tack upon the president and the
Labor Department, but the Pub
licity Association is used to make
it over the signature of Jonathan
Bourne, Jr.

money will be expended by bu-
reaus in every state TO provide
labor for factories. Big employ

official acts was to send the fol-
lowing telegram to the newspapers
and directors OF War Saving COM
mittees:
II most earnestly urge upon you
that your organization make every
possible effort to end that pledges
for the purchase Of War Savings
Stamps be fulfilled defore the close
Of the year. The Governments mon.
etary requirements were never great
er nor more pressing than today.
Expenditures for November were
greater than In any similar period.
These expenditures growing out Of
the war must be met BY borrowing
from. the .pseple snd their inagnifi-
cent respose heretofore to the gov
ernmsnt's requirements makes me
confident that they will not fail to
continue their support to the end
that all payments resulting from war
necessities will be promptly met.
Much remains to be done; our brave
troops must be maintained and paid
until their work is fully accomplish
ed and they are returned to their
homes. This is not time for us to
relax our efforts and the Treasury
Department Is making plans for lar
ger and even more important work
during the coming year. Please make
every effort to bring this statement
before the people In your district and
to urge upon them the continued
holding Of their War Savings Certi-
fcates, the fulhllment Of their Pied
Res and additional purchases as their
means permit"

They Fool Nobody

The ex-Crown Prince OF Germany
denies having renounced the throne,
but 10 the light of the universal de-
testatton in which he Is held, both In
Germany and abroad, that is an in
consequential detail. More interest
ing ID his effort to offer his alibi for
the war. According to his story, he
alone foresaw that Germany had lost
as early as October, 1914, when the
flrst dash to Paris was turned back,
but his advice to make peace then
even st the sacrifice Of Alsace-
Lorraine was rudely rejected by the
general staff, which told him tn
mind his own business. Whether he
did or not. the fact has long been
known tnat after the first defeat at
tile MArne, which frustrated the Ger
man plan for a duplication of 1870,
Germany would have been more than
glad to have patched up II peace right
then. 1t had staked everything on a
short, victorious war. 1t had neither
plans nor preparations for n four
years struggle. This is probably the
basis for the ex-CrOwn Princes state
ment. which he now seeks to twist
into personal alibi for the continu-
auce Of the struggle, wholly ignoring,
Of course, the hundreds OF thousands
Of lives he recklessly sacrificed In
his vain efforts on Verdun, a wanton
sacrifice which has made his name
hated throughout his native land.
With his statement, as with all the
German apologists, from the ex-
Kaiser down, who are now des-
perately striving to escape the con-
sequences of their murdegous acts,
the fatal flaw is In the all too plain
evidence that these excuses and
deprecations are mere afterthOughts,
that there WAS no thought Of them SO
long as the German military machine
was In the ascendant. 1t IL only In
the depths OF defeat and despair that
they seek to pose as haters OF war.
But they fool nobody. = Pittsburgh
Dispatch.

postponed on account of the prevail

The day was observed In this
country In honor Of the Rritish and

sailors who laid down their lives for
democracy In the worlds greatest
war. .
The chief celebration was In New
York, presided over by Judge Alton
B. Parker, former Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency.
A message was received from King
George of Great Britain, expressing
the hope that Britain and the
United States may always be united
as they are today"
General Pershing sent the follow
ing telegram:
"SteAdfast in adversity-wounded
with y thousand wounds, Great
Britain's hammer blows have never
weakened nor faltered. But for the
tenacity Of her people, the war would
have been lost. To those Of US who
have been associated with them and
fought with their gallant troops.
words Of praise seem inadequate to
express our admiration. These things
our kinsmen have done, have brought
inseparable union between them and
ourselves. We offer our right hand Of
