IS THIS PATRIOTISM?

lS THIS PAIRIOIISM? . i
 HE BRIDGEPORT POST in it's editorial columns regards with an unequal disapproval it's government, and the Kaisers
 which the Germans make and the American government because 1t does not the methods Its warmth of approval is reserved for British statesmanshp.
 "Now in the talk game the who is interruptions has all the advantage fighting The Hun proficient in both methods He would be beaten nation today if he had not broken h ed robbed poisoned cheated deceived and employed woE to conceal his thoughts with about much consideration for the truth the father of lies"
 Thus The Post in its issue of Friday One might suppose reading the lusy paragraph just quoted that The Post gun ming for the Kaiser Not gunning for the President of the United States.
 The presidents diplomacy designed to divide Austria from Germany, does not meet the approval of the Post:
 beginning upon the entente world that the very best thing do in this situation is to stop talking and do fighting"
 we have heard much about this long range diplomacy has been in evidence almost since the war started"
 Yet there persons this country who think that talking at long range win"
 Such is the working of pacsm. Our delay in enter ing the is example of the deadly harm it can do
 that ferocious invecve of the Germans is merely the vehicle which bitter denunciaon of the American government president talks too much He does not fight enough He is pacs The delay he has caused is ample of the deadly harm his methods can do.
 It the Kaiser The Post gunning for but Woodrow Wilson and the American government which describes government hates England government that will not give Republican his just due
 Britain willing to nave Japan occupy of East Siberia "bu Washington, usual, is haltng."
 The reason this Washington delay is doubt the that caused every other deaya hope that pacific policy may do AS THOUGH THIS BRAND OF DIPLOMACY HAD NOT ALREADY COST US HUNDREDS OF LIVES AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS"
 Those are fine American sentiments they not? The Kaiser couldn't buy better propaganda, if he tried
 The faith ies cheats robs poisons, and avoids a beating.
 American president is patient scrupuou truthful honest the unnecessary loss of hundreds of of dO11on
 British statesmanshp favors Japanese occupation of S beria But the American president forsooth delays he always doe praccng "brand of diplomacy that sacrifices lives and dollars"
 Germany according to The Post is always wrong and all ways Britain is always right and America always The talking delaying long pacs diplomacy of the ent does the American damage than the Hun has able do it. American losses thus far measured in hundreds of lives These losses all occasoned by the ernment Germany is not responsible for any of them
 These charges against the government grossly slan- derous They fay the record The is not posed of towards potroon but of bg broad hu This government into which the American people putting their very best conducting great enterprise in great way The American government stands far above the whining reachey little minds the does above the earth
 It is never too late to mend From The Post will give the American the support deserves The right to crcse not the right to scod is not the right to d vide to slander, to discourage, or to deceive
 Stand by Amerca!
