byzantine attitude The Administration
itself is not wise if it shrinks from the
frankest and even the toughest criticism.
The winning of the war is everything. This
administration, any administration, is moth
ing in comparison. Only the Adj
ministration can hurt itself, for instance,
by impotence Of disapproval, by adherence
to mistakes, by obstinacy. by clinging to in
competents under fire." by concealment of
unpleasant facts. War involves a continual
process of trying officials and kicking them
out if they don't conduce to victory. No
favortes be tolerated or spared. Make

mand which Mr. Wilson viii have to en-
force in every department Of the national
service. If Colonel Roosevelt's own criti-
cisns are sometimes hasty and violent, his
principle is irrefragable.

There was every reason for some mis-
understanding by England Of the methods
and the character of our kin across the
Atlantic. And chief among those reasons
was the fact that the great majority of
our relations with the United States were
more Of financial than diplomatic
nature. Again, not only was the financial

lance, but the more picturesque reports of

Colonel Rooscvelts philosophy OF inter-
national altruism and national duty is not
borrowed from Mr.. Wilson. He was preach
ing the same doctrines in his own charac-
teristic fashion when Woodrow Wilson's
name and fame scarcely exceeded the
boundaries of the Princeton campus There
is difference, say, between the ideas
of the President and those of the -Pres-
dent in regard to what must be done. The
difference appears only when we begin to
consider the manner of doing that which
must be done to crush the German menace

Bat disrcgarding the series of admitted

Roosevelt does a great public service by
raising his voice to educate public opinion
To the need of making preparations on the

try was guilty Of a great bfunder when it

Methods by Which
W. Circulation Is Obtained

"A few good paragraphs upon one page
cannot give its tone to whole paper; and
when Englishmen told of the enormous
clrculatlons that are obtained by methods
which they rightly hold in absolute abhor-
renee, they cannot be blamed for misunder-
standing a nation to whose support such
methods owe their origin and their success
The real sentiments of Americans tow
ard US as Englshmen are at first equally
unlnteligible. The original Panama policy
and the Venezuela message made them more
uninteligble still. And in this it must be
admitted that the slower methods of Eng
lish diplomacy and of the English press
had the advantage Of restraining a too
hasty Judgment Nor was this moderation
of that day alone; it is as extraordinary
in time in extent. To take a few in
stances: there was the Sackvile- West at
fair, of which memories have lately been
revived there was the Bering Sea alter
cation; there were the diatribes of Mr.
Blaine, with the browning incident of his
elevation to the Cabinet, an incident which
alone would have justified serious COM
plication' with any European power; and
then there was the Panama Canal.
"Iet England realized throughout that
all this was tie fault of a defective system
of internal politics which had no bearing
at all upon international relations Moth
ing was more characteristic of Americans
than to allow the continuance of state OF
affairs which they admitted to be bad.
They trusted to luck that all would turn
out right in the end. Nothing but cosm,c
disturbance hitherto unequalled in their
history has cured them"
The writer finds in American history
singing reproof for pacifsts in Eng
land:
after American independence had been
sealed at Yorktown in 1881 it was realized
by the best men in both countries that our
colonies had revolted in order to recover
the liberties which every Englishman re-
garded his natural Inheritance; liberties
which, significantly enough, had been in
this case curtailed by a German monarch
The War of 1912 stamped the character of
permanence on the American nation as its
Civil War gave it conference and indivisi-
bllity, and let it be remembered to-day
when every Englishman is grateful to TIE
United States-that if Lincoln had once
