In Aid, Not Opposition.

chicago Tribune.
We think the president has been
supersensitive respecting the at.
ternpts of the senate military af-
fairs committee to accelerate prog
ress and correct serious defects in
our war organization We think he
has misunderstood the spirit Of the
committee and been unduly sus-
picious of partisanism.
In the matter Of the resolution
authorizing the committee to carry
on during the recess we have no
idea the dangers of undue interfer-
ence which he fears would
materialize, yet il is not to be de-
MED that the language is sweeping
and since the president has declared
he would consider its passage in its
present form as a vote of lack of
confidence, we think the phrase
ology should be amended and its
scope restricted.
There have been serious grounds
for complaint IN some important
phases Of our preparations and the
need for inquiry and for constructive
criticism has been demonstrated be-
yund the denial Of any save blind
partis1ns of the administration. But
constructive criticism has resulted in
substantial correction Of defects in
personnel and organization and we
may sousibly hope that the process
will continue. There il no DISPOSE
ton in responsible quarters of con-
prcss or among responsible news
papers TO harass the president or the
w.r organization. On the contrary.
there is only a sincere desire to as
s.gt In tho expeditions and efficient
mobilization Of tho nations re-
sources for the accomplishment Of
the earliest possible victory. The
senate military affairs committed
viii work. we are certain, solely foIf
this end Loyalty aiding the president
where ho needs help and will ac-
capt it, while fulfilling It's duty to
the nation as ii conceiyes this duty
To- be. The committee should sit
during the recess and 1t might be
advisable also for the foreign re-
iauoRs committee to sit for possible
consultation with the president in
case events develop in manner to
compel decisions for which the pres
ident might seek the advice or con-
currence of the coordinate branch.
But in any case 1t should he made
clear that the functions Of the com
mittees are in aid OF the executive
and not in opposition.

Sir Sidney Lows letter concerning
what appears to be the utter lack of
concrete results from Americas first
year of preparations for war, as re-
CARDS both aeroplanes and shipping,
has produced a most painful impress
sion.
1t is TO be hoped, as 1t is believed
in some quarters, that some author
itative contradiction may be forth
coming. Otherwise 1t is inevitable
that a good deal of feeling should be
aroused in this country, which is CIV
Ing its men up TO so years of age,
and IL, as Mr.. Bonar Law stated yes
terday. financially self-supporting,
even in this fourth year of the cam
paign.
Meanwhile we are asked to believe
that twelve months hustle in the
States has produced one battle plane
on the western front and two new
food carriers.
That we and the French are sup
plying the American troops with ar
tillery was of course, made known
long ago; but then ! always held
that it would be better that the
European allies should undertake
this task, and American troops be
sent to France without delay than
That the troops should be compelled
to wait on the other side of the At
lantic until the United States ar
senais had turned out the requisite
number of batteries.
In the circumstances 1 trust that
the American politician, upon whose
assertions Sir Sidney Lows lament
is based, may belong TO the profess
stnnh type OF grumbler whose
chatges are based on no serious
| facts.

once moro has Congressman Dick
T Morgan demonstrated that he is
actuated in this national crisis by
something more than mere PARTISAN
ship Most Republicans, unfortu-
Iratcly. seem inclined to magnify
each OF the numerous delays and
mistakes bound to occur during the
transformation Of the nation into a
fighting machine, while at the same
time refusing, at least until after
long delay, in granting to the presi-
dent the power he must have II our
war preparations are to be pressed
TO the utmost. The ADMINISTRATION
deserves criticism for each and
every delay; only through criticism
San progress be made. But the ad-
ministration also deserves hearty
legislative support--and this comes
only most reluctantly from a large
proportion of the membership Of
congress-
Congressman Morgan, unlike too
many others, criticizes without de-
laying. He was among the few Re-
publicans TO urge the enactment or

enlargement Of the presidents )

best Americans know that he is
wrong. 1t Is pity the constitution
cannot be altered so that the presi-
dent could leave his country for a
trip here and TO France to see for
himself. There is bitter comment on
the fact that the president has not
sent for Gen. Leonard Wood since
his return. and the New York sun
asks, satirically. rs it merely be-
cause the president prefers to keep
his mind clear of military facts until
Secretary Baker reports?" They do
not think much Of Mr.. Baker as a
warrior or war dog in the L. S. A,
however high their estimation Of
him, and one or two others, as phil
osophers and altruists. But America
will get there all the same, because
OF and in spite Of her difficulties.

Quoted on an efficiency platform" de-
clared S. E. Cobb, divisional commit
teeman for Kansas in an interview
this morning. Il have almost COM
pleted the list of captains of districts
and lieutenants of counties. who will
be in immedia charge of the local
campaigns, and the men l have Sc
lected for these places are the men
who have already made wonderful
shoWlngS in war work campaigns or
whom 1 believe will prove their worth
in this campaign"
The 1918 Red Cross war fund cam
paign is to officially open May 20 and
will close May 81. The campaign in
each of the five states of the south
western division of the Red Cross will
be carried out along certain prede-
termined lines. There is to be no con-
fusion and tapping over of effort in
this campaign, and every ounce of
energy expended is going to be ex-
pended where it will get the best re-
suits.
Add 81 to Every 500 Collected.
The 100000, 900 fund raised in the
1917 Red Cross war fund drive has
been nearly used up. tho for every
500 in the fund $102 was expended.
The interest on the fund allowed
this. The s10O,0O0.000 1918 war fund
will be handled in much the same way
ana the HeQ cross AUTHORITIES expect
| to repeat the $102 for $100 record of
| the 1917 fund.
The people are expected to give
much more readily to this cause this
time than in the 1917 campaign" said
! Cobb this morning. Our boys are &C
tually in the fighting now, and the
reasons for the need for the fund
come just that much closer to the
people of the country at large. 1t is
| a lot easier to give when your own
boys are to receive a large proportion
| of the benefits than when the suffer
ers who get relief are those men who
are not quite SO close to our hearts
| The Red Cross feels certain that Kan
sas will not fall down on her former
record
kansas subscribed more thar
| 100000 in the 1917 Red Cross drive
| and tho her quota in the 1918 drive is
less than 100000. it does not NEAR
that the necessity for the money fol
relief is any less pressing or any
| farther away from the people of the
| tate. Kansas was exceeded only by
| Missouri in the 1917 drive, and 1 fully

MISS CORNING WATCHES THEM
Street LOaferS One of the Worst
Evils of City.
Better Men Only Way To Wipe
Out Delinquencies.

The soldier menace to Topeka girls
is next door to a myth, according to
Miss Eva Corning, probation officer.
The chug-chug of the motorcycles and
the lure of a flying ride on the handle
bars is one of the major causes for
trouble in Topeka households, the pro-
baton officer asserts.
The soldier proposition has caused
rs little trouble" said Miss Corning
Two young girls were brought into
the Juvenile court for care whose
mothers were a menace to soldiers and
are now serving time at the woman's
detention home at Lansing. Two 9TH
er neglected girls who were given pro-
tection of the court are deprived of
their mothers because of their disor-
derby conduct with soldiers.
Assistance Given Twenty-Five Girls.
L have been called on to give as
sistance to twenty-nine girls in the
last two months. Nine of these girls
are reporting to me once every week
IN the little private room of the court.
But the lure of the uniform is con-
tributing only a small part to the de-
hnquency of young girls. 1t is the de-
PRAYED men and women of the streets,
the wrong kind of associates who
make business for the juvenile court.
When we have better men and women
we will have fewer delinquent and
neglected children"

These unprecedented demands for

r1eans nothing but suffering among

possible for majority OF the people
