William ]. Mulligan, chairman~oi

free to state that he believes boxing

but as body builders have been
found incompatible in the present

Criticism That Helps Germany,
BY Arson MacNaught.

While honest, tempered criticism of the governments conduct Of
the war should and would be welcomed because of mistakes it might
rectfy, few Americans will see any real value in such criticism as
was recently uttered on the floor Of the upper house of congress by
Senator Hitchcock, OF Nebraska. For such criticism can only give
hope and comfort to the enemy, and thus prolong the war.
Consider the situation. Hundreds of thousands of workers in
Germany were on strike. Millions were restless. They were demand
ing instant peace, in part because they feared the power of the United
States. just at this moment an American senator, a man high in the
councils of the administration, rises to inform the world, including
Germany, that the United States is failing miserably in its task, that
this country can be no factor in the war for a long time to come and
that the statement of the American secretary of war that 100000
United States soldiers will soon be in France is preposterous, a gross
exaggeration," and impossible Of fulfillment.
If the German strikers all 60 back to work and the German
masses become less restless under the strain of the war, how much Of
the credit will be due to Senator Hitchcock and others of his kindf
Without doubt his statements are being spread broadcast over Ger
many, not by those who want peace but by those who demand war to
the bitter end. can American senator who is one of the leaders Of
President Wilson's own party in congress says that America is sending
few troops to France" the German people are being told. Have
courage. Americans themselves admit that we need not fear them"
