Irish Optimism
Senator Sherman Calls a
Roll of Honor, and Almost
Leaves Some One Out!

M R. sHERMAN-I know how optimistic
A'A everybody is; do not think at all to
classify myself a pessimist; l am like
most of US, for l think most people are
optimistic by nature and pessimsts by ex-
perience. Whatever we may hope, here is
the hard, cold daylight truth, that for a
nation of 100,000,000 people, with more gold
in our Golfers than any other nation in the
world, with the wealthiest soil the sun ever
shone on, that makes the Nile and the
Euphrates look like they were only a part
of the worlds historical supply in years
past-with all that, with our resources of
the metals, the iron and the steel, out of
which men grid themselves in modern times
for such struggles-with all these advan-
tages of civilization and art and the his
torical traditions of thousand years going
back through our ancestry, the fact re-
mains that, with a year charged to our
credit since the war began, in this strug-
GLE, repeat, we are rot bearing a mans
part.
Mr. KNOX-May l not ask the Senator
from Illinois if he is not an optimist some
what in the sense Of the Irishman's defini-
ton of that term, "Doing your best to be-
lieve something you know is not so"?
Laughter
Mr.. SHERMAN-Yes, sir; think that
very aptly describes my frame of mind and
probably the frame of mind of many other

in that condition we are told by divers
gentlemen that our airplane programme,
our armament and explosive programme,
and our ship programme are all in very
fourishing state. wish that were SO. A
member of Congress, for whom I have the
highest esteem, back in his home State of
Illinois not long ago made a speech in
which he said that within three months
we had so developed explosives that both
the bomb that explodes on the surface of
the water, destroying submarine when it
is in view, and the deep-sea bomb that
follows the U-boat when submerged, are
now accomplished inventions. and that in
three months the submarines would be
chased from the Atlantic Ocean. am sure
that everybody would rejoice to know that
such inventions existed. He said, further,
that we had thousands Of airplancs. / do
not know where they are; they are like
many other things; they arc like the ma
jority side OF this chamber, for instance,
which is absent, with the single exception
OF the junior Senator from Mississippi Mr..
Vardamanl (Laughter.l
Mr.. WOLCOTT-~Mr. President, am
afraid the Senator did not notice me.
Mr.. sHERMAN--I beg the Senator's par
don. l wish to Include the Senator from
Delaware in that roll of honor, and also
the senior Senator from Georgia Mr..
Smith. who is caught in suspicious cir
cumstances on the Republican side of the
Chamber. Laughter.

to inquire if l in a suspicious position
because I am talking to the junior Senator
from California Mr.. Johnsonl -? l thought
that would be permitted everywhere
Mr. SHERMAN-No; that is not the sus-
picious circumstance. l would not so re-
gard it; but the fact that the Senator had
successfully executed camoufage over
here, and was not able to see him, for he
looks almost like a Republican. Laugh
ter.
The PRESIDING OFFICER-If the Chair
may make an inquiry, Has it occurred to
the Senator from Illinois that he may have
emptied the majority side of the Cham
Der by his attack on the lecturing profess
sion? Laughter.
Mr.. SHERMAN-The Chair, as usual, is
right, especially the present occupant Of
the Chair.

With the American Army or the

west of Jaulgonne this morning
crossed the river with a rush and
promptly started to fight their way
to the south, having as their objec-
tive a point about nine miles distant.
The Americans and French held up
this advance to such an extent that
two hours after the time set by the
enemy for reaching his objective he
was still far away from it.
While fighting in the open contin

attack was organized. Light artillery
was hurried into position. 1t concen
trated a very heavy fire at shor
range and when this fire had cease,
the American infantry dashed from
cover and met the oncoming Boche.
Machine gunners moved forwar
and lying on the ground poured
stream of bullets into the enemy. Tn
fierceness of the fight brought tn
Germans UP short. They would no
stand the storm of steel and hesital
ingly at first finally broke and fe
back. Within three hours the Anne,
