Investigating MIR. Crcel.

Chicago Tribune,
The house OF representative re-
sents Mr.. creers alleged reflection"
on the house, and Mr.. Treadway
proposes an investigation OF Mr..
Creel's bureau. The American peo-
pie are not particularly concerned
whether Mr.. Creel has. or has not
outraged the dignity OF congress
but that they are concerned with the
operation of one OF the most import
ant bureaus of the government.
II Is important because 1t Is a
propaganda bureau. Its specia
function is to promote Americanism
and American interests both in TINS
country and abroad. The ideal con
ception of such a bureau is a bureau
that will tell the truth, because, uh-
less we are very much mistaken
about our purposes in this war, we
cannot hope to devise any better
propaganda than to disseminate tue
truth.
Mr.. Creel, however. IS an ardent
partisan, and his conception or MS
duty Is that of a special pleader' lie
must rush to the defense of any or
fetal who happens to make a ms
take or happens to come In Lor
criticism. This attitude is naturally
fatal to the accomplishment OF the
purposes which a real propaganda
bureau ought to accomplish MT
Creel may think he is telling the
truth. the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. but there are perhaps
not more than half dozen people
in the United States who concur
with him in that opinion.
As scheme OF involving self-de-
ceptlon may have its advantages,
Mr.. Creel doubtless would have to
ouit living If he ever began to ra-
tionalize his activities, But we are
not interested in preserving MT.
Creels peace of mind; our interest
lies in prosecuting the war.
A congressional investigation
therefore, can be of great service II,
as in the case of other investigations,
it serves to bring about a reorgani-
zation of the Creel bureau. 1t is
doubtless too much TO hope that Mr..
Wilson will discharge Mr.. Creel, but
II Mr.. Creels shortcomings are dem
by a congressional investi-
CATION 1t is quite possible that Mr'
Wilson may find another place for
him.

THO Simple Life.

Cincinnati inquirer.
There. has just passed away In
Paris, his last years touched by the
horror which SO ruthlessly brushed
aside his gentle teachings, one who
sang as sweetly OF the simple life as
Murser sang OF youth.
only a few years ago tho lit,Ia
pook or Pastor Wagner was more
widely read and talked OF than anv
other literary product of the time.
i's popularity attested TO a deep
yearnlng for return to the period
when all OF existence was not a oues-
Iioh OF economics. 1t NAV be that
mere was then subconscious rec-
oghltlon or the direction human ar
ia'rs were taking. There NAV have
oeen IN the air sense of unres, and
anxiety. brought about by the vast
preparations then in Progress for
the fresh enslavement OF man thru
recourse 10 the very instrurn entail
ties 10 which 1t was fondly supnosed
he owed his liberation.
Be this as 1t may, Pastor warner
the leading exponent OF his times OF
the simple life" was Of the right
sturdy stock so quicR to appreciate
the occasions under which to issue
the cry of peace and quiet was to
prove traitorous to all that mankind
holds dear. So It was that in the week
beore his death he sent a m Message
to the American people. warning
against a German peace, and declar-
ing that Ito 60 on leading a quiet
life when iniquity is flooding the
earth is to become an accomplice OF
iniquity."
The very urgency OF this message
addressed primarily to the pacifist
element wherever It might be found,
makes Of possible wisdom a brief ret
respect. The sense of deprivation
may often be appealed TO for the
purpose Of stirring up a righteous in
dlgnation against the malefic forces
which have brought the loss.

the national service. There are Dem
ocratic as well as Republican mem
bers in the present congress Who
would make poor showing In a
competition of that kind. and every
one of them should be left at home.
Aside from all such obstruction
lists and self-seekers. who deserve
the fiercest wrath of their constitu-
ents. the leaders OF both parties have
no higher duty than. by united ac-
ton in the few districts where pro-
German and pacifist elements are
powerful, to make impossible the
election Of a single representative OF
those interests If the speakers ad-
vice is to be followed. there will be
no more hope of such combinations,
and many blatant partisan, per-
haps even some notorious public en-
emies, will displace patriotic mem
bers.
Although Mr.. Clark has fittingly
recognized the value OF non-parti-
sanship. his program is thoroughly
and shockingly partisan. There ought
not TO be another stump speech like
his while the war Is in progress

Some Tasks Not For Women.

Syracuse Post. Standard
The Post STANDARD doesn't believe
that Mayor Stone will listen patient
ly to the proposition to put women
on the ash wagons.
There are many lines OF Industry
now employing men. in which wom-
en- NAV be used. They are being re-
cruited in increasing numbers Tor
office and clerical positions. They
may run elevators. They may drive
automobiles, They may soon be on
the street cars here. as they are in
New York.
It oftends the American sense OF
chiyalry to employ women in the
heavier and dirtier tasks In which
women have been used in many
European countries, They do not
want women hitched with mules to
draw plows They do not want wom-
en- carrying the hod or delivering
coal Nor. we believe. do they want
women operating the city's ash col
lection.
The shortage Of labor is causing
the city, like all other employers,
anxiety. With respect to ashes there
would be sornesrelief in a revision OF
the old system Of requiring the
householder to place his ash cans at
the curb. The householder who
wouldn't do 1t rather than have a
woman call to drag it out jsH't much
OF a man.

many's military strength. They rep
resent some Of the most cruel tyran-
nies over subject peoples for which
Germany stands. II is idle for us
to pretend sympathy with the Ar
meuians unless we war on Turkey,
which, with Germany's assent, mas
well nigh crushed the Armenians
out of existence
when President Wilson stated
that this war was waged TO make
democracy safe throughout the
world he properly and definitely
committed the American people to
the principles above enunciated and
for the American people TO accep.
less than their president has thus
announced that he would insist up
on would be unworthy .The presi-
dent has also said that there is
therefore, but one response possible
for us Force-force to the utmost
force without stint or limit-the
righteous and triumphant force
which shall make right the law OF
the world and cast every selfish do
mlnion down in the dust"
The American people must sup
port President Wilson unflinchingly
in the stand to which he is thus com
mltted and must resolutely refuse tc
accept any other position. We mus'
guard against any slackening Of eff
fort. We must refuse to accept any
premature peace or any peace other
than the peace OF Overwhelming
victory.
Owe must secure such complete
Teedom for the peoples of centraI
Europe and western. Asia as will
shatter forever the threat of GER
man world domination. our honor
able obligations to our allies our
loyalty to our own national prin'
ciples, the need to protect our Amer
lean neighbors, the eneet to defend
our own land and people and our
hopes for the pedce and happiness OF
our children's children all forbid u:
to accept an ignoble and inconclusive
peace.

The Dangers Of Premature Peace

The Dangers Of a Premature Peace
BY Theodore Roosevelt
As now seems likely, II the great

upon paclfist agitation for peace In

which thcy are fighting. To yield to
such peace proposals would be
fraught with the greatest danger to
the allies, ana especially to our own
country in the future,
Let us never forget that no
promise Germany makes can be
trusted. The Rultur developed under

than upon Ruthless violence and bar
barity
For example, there are strong in

Memorial Day, the day OF Ameri-
cas- soldier dead, has grown with the
sweeping growth OF Americas des-
tiny in this great war. twenty-five
years ago May 80 was the day OF re-
mem brance OF the union soldier. The
Grand Army met on the village
street, and the womans relief corps
fell in behind it, carriage bounti-
fully laden with lilacs and MOCK
orange blossoms, sometimes with
roses, brought up the rear. and the
cortege moved to the cemetery,
where, with prayers and barred heads.
| the veterans and the people strewed
the flowers upon graves which were
marked with little flags graves or
the men who had given or offered
| their lives to the cause OF the Ameri-
| can union. A beautiful and touch
ing observance. with the germ in II
of the great idea which we have now
embraced, yet limited after all.
Then came the day. rs years ago.
when the Spanish empire was wiped
off The map. Not that we had any
thing against the Spanish empire;
but on that day an irresistible and
Unforeseen destiny moved our ma
ton. and the world with 1t. on a
/ glorious path, involving far more
than we knew. Then we had new
graves to decorate-not so many,
perhaps, but graves about'which a
glorious symbolism clustered. Mem
orial Day has ceased to be sectional.
II had taken a long step toward
world democracy.
But see what new stride 1t has
now taken Memorial Dav will
come again. and then we shall see
the marshal of France, and with
him representatives not only of the
sFrench republican government but
Of Britain and Italy. standing by
many new-made graves of American
soldiers in a far foreign land. and
reverentlv laying wreaths and palms
upon them, with tears for our dead
tears and emotions of Joy as well,
for the deed which these American
soldiers performed in dying was one
which has sealed the unity OF the
free peoples of the world.
Marshal Joffre. Premier Clemen-
: ceau and the other French leaders
who will participate in the decora-
ton of the graves OF our soldiers in
France know we'll that they are cele-
: brating an event much vaster than
the mere honoring of the heroic

the aid Of their cause. They know
that they will be celebrating the

Even in their boastings OF the

overawe the people OF Spain. Ger
man propagandists could not tell
the truth. Their statement Of seiz-

cording to any analysis furnished by
an official Belgian source, ridicu-

l20.OO0,O00 pesetas, the so-called
