Our I'ndersea Triumph.

When tie German U-boat Deutschland

successful submarine voyage across the
Atlantic. the accomplishment was gwen
due credit by our people and press. No
iealousv. no hostile feeling, was per
mitted to stand IN the way OF just praise
Now We arc informed that the Deutsch-
land did not establish a record by her
initial journey across the Atlantic Ocean
Eighteen months before the Deutsch-
land arrived here. says an officer OF the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, twenty
submarines which were constructed IN
America, largely al Bethlehem had sailed
from a Canadian port and through the
Mediterranean Sea and all the way TO the
Sea of Marmora In the Dardanelles
thev fought the Turkish war vessels and
all gave good accounts Of themselves The
twenty started and the twenty arrived
at the destination Many Of them are
still on active duty
This interesting information, IN ac-
Cordance with the policy OF secrecy that
has long been deemed essential TO the
success Of military and naval operations,
was withheld from our people. We were
thus deprived of the pleasure of publicly
acclaimng notable achievement by
submarines built IN Tins country. instead
OF wasting praise upon the journey Of
a German submarine which did only
what our boats had done months before.

What Else Could They Do?

No one desires TO deprive Republican
members of Congress of the credit that
is due them for standing by President
Wilson IN many instances since we took a
hand in the war Many Of them dis
played real patriotism.
But it must be borne ID mind that
President Wilson has never asked of
them anything that was inconsistent
with their patriotism or their political
convictions. On the contrary, everything
was in accord with patriotic and public
duty
What else could they do? If they had
violently and without reason opposed the
Presidents policies, as some members of
Congress, Democrats as well as Re-
publicans, did upon various notable oc-
casons, viciously and without reason.
they would have made themselves de-
spised by the people. Some of the dis
loyal recalcitrant members already have
suffered from the indignation Of their
constituents.
Great credit is due all members of
the Congress who have 50 splendidly
supported the President But. as we
have asked, what else could they do, "a

PRESS COMMENT.
COLONEL ROOSEvELT'S PLEA.

While the world regrets thnt Mr. Wilson
in person ever assumed the task of asking
the people to choose n Congress in symp-
athy with his leadership, it wns n word
needing to be said, and so said that it
would arrest attention. His letter has
at least had this effect that whispered
cal,mnies are replaced by free discussion
and men who had no thought of "ad-
journing politics for the war arc forced
into the open
OF this change Theodore Roosevelt
furnishes an impressive example. He has
been bitter in current criticism of the
President s views upon n proper pence,
all OF which have won hearty applause
among tho Allies Yet his speech last
night is for him conspicuous by its modera-
ton. Mannuvred out from abuse OF
a man to praise of a party, this champion
of the strenuous produces merely the
typical party mans argument. dlstin-
guished less by its strength than by its
length
Colonel Roosevelt asserts the ~ surd

He denies the undeniablc: that Republican

posterous: in face of our vast achieve

No Gcrma II Statesmen Now.

This war has revealed the fact, most
plainly, that notwithstanding her adj
mittcd military superiority, at the be-
ginning of the war, her possession of the
mightiest military machine the world
ever knew, Germany has been sadly
lacking in statesmen and craftsmanship.
All her civil leaders have proved lam
cntable failures, whose official acts and
policies have gained for Germany the
contempt of the world, not its admiration
and respect. And her military leaders
gained decisive victories only when at
tacking a foe greatly inferior in numbers
and munitions.
No Bismarck lives in Germany, today.
None was TO he found among the Kaiser S
co,insellors when it was determined TO
enter upon this cruel and absolutely

advocate of the policy of blood and lron
and ruthless in his methods. He directed
Prussia to the conquest of Denmark and
the theft of Schleswicg-Holstein. He
brought about the war with Austna, for
the purpose of making an alliance out of
her defeat And by means of forgery

irritating words in an official telegram with

war, but did not want Prussia TO start IT.
Bismarck was the creator of the present

ceitedly believed he was a greater man
than Bismarck. and So dismissed him
