for a Rongress on which he can
bank for support. But the man

in 1885, If it was right then it
is right now and G. o. p. party
workers cannot in good faith
claim otherwise.
The chief reason why an
anti administration congress
should not be elected is that
such an action would be inter-
preted abroad as a repudiation
of the President and his war
policy,
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch
says:
The;President's view on the
signift nance of the election will
be thS worlds view. Defeat

can PEOPLE would be hailed
with joy in Berlin, which is
eagerly seeking a flaw in his

But to prove the point it is
not necessary to take the word |
of the president or of any
newspaper that supports him.
We have the word of Theodore
Roosevelt, given in 1898 under
similar but less serious circum-
stances. We have the word of

When a big construction job
is underway and everything
depends upon getting the work
through in good shape by a
certain time the man in charge
naturally prefers cerw he can
count upon. He does not want
men who at every chance will
agitate and connive against
him even to the extent of en-
dangering the work. This is
the very reason why President
Wilson does not want a United
States senate controlled by men
like Lodge, Penrose and Poln-
dexter. He is right too and
every practical man and wom-
an knows he is right.

U. S. Troops 10 France Now Moving On

From high authority it has
been learned that Troops and
supplies for General Pershiag's
forces are now moving to France
on schedule time. While figures
may not be published, it was
stated positively that transpor-
tation requirements of the army
are being met by the Shipping
Board and the immediate sltua.
tion as to ships was described as
satisfactory.
A substantial American army
already is in in the trenches on
the western front and Secretary

be at least q million American
troops in France during 1918.

An Ode To Health.

Health of itself makes life a
perpetual Joy. Nothing daunts,
nothing overawes or discourag.
es and nothing overpowers the
man and woman possessed of
health. Health means not only
vigor and energy OF body but al.
SO clarity and strength of mind;
purity and beauty OF soul. The
healty person dominates life in
stead OF allowing life to dominate
him. He scarcely thinks of his
body as consisting of parts or as
performing separate functions
10 him the body is but one har-
monlous whole. He is a unit, q
being, a man;complete. vigorous
perfect. TO such a man work is
a Joy. He hardly knows what
WEAKNESS is. lie never experien.
ces exhaustion. Merely to grasp
his hand is a pleasure. To gaze
into his eyes is a Joy. To hear
his voice is to feel a thrill pass
over one. To peer into his mind
serves as a stimulus to higher
achievement. Health supplies the
courage, the aggressiveness in
life. Without health one is bank.
rupt regardless OF whatAis finan.
cial capital may be. He becom'
a cipher in the world OF real men
and women. If you have health,
then, friends, cherish it, guard it,
and treasure it as you treasure
lif', for out OF it are the issues of
life."

More U-Eoats Destroyed BY Entente il
December than Germany
Was Able to Build.

According to information that
has reached Washington, more
submarines were destroyed by
allied and American naval forces
in December than Germany was
able to build during that month
This fact developed from a state.
ment made to parliament by Sir
Eric c. Geddes, first lord of the
British Admiralty that,the sub
marines were being checked.
Although it is not known that
succeeding months have shown
a net loss in German submarines,
it is believed that the anti.sub.
marine campaign has proved 80
eff ctive that increased efforts
this spring will see a steady de-
crease in the number of U-boats
available to prey on allied ard
American shipping.
American naval officials seem
satisfied that the weapons are
forthcoming with which they ex.
pect to crush finally the subma-
rine menace. Some of the agen-
cies upon which they count are
increased numbers of patrol ves-
sells OF various types, appliances
and devices to make them more
effective against underwater at
tacks and the increased skill of
navy personnel 1t has required
much time to produce the wea.
pons, but they Are becoming a.
vailable now.
The advance guard OF the Am
erican destroyer forces aided by
the allied navies have held the
enemy and are now destroying
one out of every four or five Ger
man U-boats that put to sea.
Americas real contribution to
the naval warfare is about to be
felt. With every passing week,
the strength OF the force will
grow, for it is embodied IN the
most extensive construction pro.
gram ever undertaken for the
navy of any power.
There is no sudden falIlng' off
OF tonnage losses expected for
the reason that the new destroy.
ers aud other craft must be add.
ed gradually As they are compile
ted. High British naval author
tiles have stated publicly that
next August Will snow withouta
doubt that the U.boats have
been overcome. There are Off.
cials here who are hopeful of de-
cided results perhaps Us early as
May or June.

"now distinctly inferior to the
Entente allies" while the gap be-
tween them is widening with pv-
cry day OF the continuance of the
war.
This much having been said,
and said, as The Journal OF Com.
merce holds, upon "a pretty sol.
ID basis" of fact, Doctor Lad,I
presents three three enemies who
are to be dreaded more than our
desperate fo' 8 in Germany. One
is "a divided Government" That
means our Congress which seems
unable to shake off politics and
which is being held to it under
the leadership of Penrose and
"The Old Guard" and a fact
manifested in the persistent fight
against giving the President full
power to select men for the co.
ordinated departments for the
prosecution of the war, and who
are doing much in encouragement
of the enemy. A second element
il the wOrkmen who, shortsight-
ed and selfish, are thinking more
of their own gains than of bring
ing the war to an early and SUE.
C cnssful conclusion. A third is the
'faint-hearted pacifists whether
they belong to the bolshevist
crow'l or to other associa lions or
even to some religious denomina.
tions who are advocating an un-
tini he'd work, just approaching
completion, or above all, the bri-
he'd pro German crowd who are
doing that cOuntry's dirtv work
no less effectively than they for.
merIy did by arson, b )mb-throw::
ing and bomb.placing and by
diplomatic intrigue against us in
foreign countries"
Doctor Ladd is correct in his
estimation of these home ele.
ments of obrtruction, and we be-
lieve he has made an approx
mately accurate forecast OF what
is about to happen in Germany.
That the Kaiser will drop his
sword "by the close of 1918" is
a contention which, in recent
days, has been drawing q troop
of supporters Charlotte Obser-
