 newspaper which scods the government day after day dealing with questions upon which cannot possess the ma tera of judgment may have excellent motives but is fact disturbing the country and imparng the power for victory
 The Bridgeport Post distinguished among the newspa pers of the United States Vruen criticism of the American has become obsession with it. But there is that it's conduct not deenbe The attacks the made by implication nuendo with hing and camouflage, well as directly.
 The president has sought to make separation between Austria and Germany The necessities that lead him. and the consequences that may follow upon unknown except to the directly concerned in the negotiation Even they can not the results that may flow from their efforts.
 The following excerpts from The Post of Thursday:
 Ut is beginning dawn upon tt entente part of the world that the very best thing to do in this situation is to stop talking and do fighting
 Yet there are still persons in this country who think talking long range Our delay in entering the war is III example of the deadly harm it can dO"
 Let begin by issuing ultmaum that if the Central Powers agree make peace upon the Allied terms by certain nation in the world will trade with them for ten years after the war"
 And after the time limit this threat expires a to the deah to actual destruction and that negotiation of any kind will be considered"
 "Tha is the kind of policy that America would like, to see with long range diplomacy laid in cotton banng for preservation"
 Coupled with excessive invectve against the Germans which disobedence-he government has advised temperate language in speaking of the this criticism of the head of the American govern ment for is the president who talks for America his is the diplomacy denounced in the phrase Hong dplOmacy
 The proposal to stop the by trade utimaum is full of the intelligence and the wisdom of those who would substitute their unsubstantated impressions for the responsible leadership of the nation.
 Let the Allies notice that mo nation in the world will trade with years" What notion, that such statement would end war; which has not been ended by the efforts of millions of armed men, equipped with every deruc tive device known to civilization

 The Post which perceive greatness and no glory in its government would force the hand of the president in his dealings with the situation in Siberia.
 Japan is ready to act at any ime It understood that and Britain willing to have her occupy the princ pal cities of East Siberia but Washington usual is halng
 "THE REASON FOR THE WASHINGTON DELAY IS, NO DOUBT THE SAME THAT HAS CAUSED EVERY OTHER DE- LAY-A HOPE THAT SOME PACIFIC POLICY MAY DO, AS THOUGH THIS BRAND OF POLICY HAD NOT ALREADY COST US HUNDREDS OF LIVES AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS"
 What could the Kaiser ask of American newspaper it should with ceaseess iteration, tell the Amer people that their affairs managed by government weak cowardy base and blind that it's supdites have Hundreds of Lives and millions of dollars
 The government must forsooh abandon long dipo- macy is to say attempts to alenate Austria from Ger many because the government pacis government whose diplomacy creates delay which has already cost Hundreds of lives and millions of dollars"
 If this sort of language repeated with reiteraton and creasng rancour isn't seditious it should be. ,
 Returning again to the Issue of Thursday appears another characteristic attack upon the government of kind often made and frequently repeated by The Post.
 Massachusetts has in Congress excellent named Fuller who placed upon comparatively unimporant mittee The Post tells why Fuller didn't receive important place, follows:
 "Poor There two reasons why he was marked for failure from the start First he from New England That would down him with the present body how marked his ability"
 "Mr Fuller has some Republican leanings That is an of which Washington these times would forgive"
 This newspaper which carries nvective against point beyond declares that the government is against England and that the will not recognition according to the usage and custom of the and anybody who is a Republican
 In the article this paper it could settle the umatum shows that it knows conclusvely MT Fuller drdnt get big committee
 Congress recognizes inexperience in membership no matter how great the business genius
 That's the truth. Mr. Fuller is a He got a small ob Congress full of old Republicans who hold better jobs than new Democrats the the Republicans in power. This is the custom of congress
