to use words which until then had
been foreign to her vocabulary. The

The inevitable parallel which his
toricaily inclined minds find In the
present military situation in France
is Gettysburg. The action along the
Marine now is thought by these COM
mentators to be the Gettysburg of the
present war. In that case, we are not
to have peace speedily. Though the
power OF the Confederacy waned
constantly after the high water mark
of Gettysburg, it was nearly two years
before the end came. With Germany
1t is likely to be still more delayed,
because the German empire, even in
its existing dire straits, is much more
nearly self supporting than the rebel
states were. Plenty of men and good
deal of time will be required before
Germany is beaten.

Speaker Champ Clark's appeal to
the voters Of Indiana to elect demo-
cratic senators and representatives to
prevent partisan strife during the war
between President of one party and
. Congress OF another fell pretty fat.
The voters have not forgotten so
quickly. The plea becomes ludicrous
when the records are consulted.
When President Wilson wrote his
letter to Wisconsin, he designated the
vote upon several measures as the
''acid test" of loyalty, and the most
important of these was the vote on
CONSUMPTION. When that measure
was before the House, Speaker Clark
took the floor and spoke against it,
denouncing it In unmeasured terms,
and saying, among other things, 81
want to say in all seriousness that if
tEis CONSUMPTION fad is to be put on
the American people there are two
men in this House who deserve more
credit for 1t than any other two men
on the top of the ground. One is the
gentleman from California, Mr.. Kahn,
and the other Is the gentleman from
Massachusetts, Mr.. Gardner. / am
in favor of giving the devil his DUE"
Thus, on the measure which con-
stituted the basis for the Presidents
s'acid test" Ir. Clark gives first
honor to two republicans. 1t is com
mon knowledge that republicans have
ungrudgingly supported all necessary
war measures and sometimes it was
they who saved the legislation from
defeat.
