Our Fourth War.

This is the fourth war we have en-
gagged in for freedom and liberty. Our
first, in 1776. for liberty and the right
to participate in the making and exc
cution Of the laws by which we were
to be governed; the second, in 1872, for
the freedom of the seas; the third, in
1861, for the emancipation of a subject
race in our midst; and now the fourth
we are hghting not only for our own
protection in the future. to save our
children, and our children's children
from fighting to preserve our birth
right. but also to give all peoples,
great and small. the right of self
government, and protection from
predatory power and national bandits.
And this war we will fight to a finish
"a victorious finish; a finish not by
negotiation, but by unconditional sur

What will the Republicans do now
that they are assured of control Of
Congress?
Some of them, in fact. are worried.
for they think they will seriously
handicap themselves for the Presi-
Dental race in 1920, and that per-
haps their two years custody of
Congressional affairs leading up to
that race will not be handy argyll
ment to use in the Presidential cam
paign.
There are two widely eouilictins
schools of thought in the parties that
take their cues from their oil politi-
cal associations. the progressive and
the standpat. This difference in the
parties will grow quite as pronounced
now under Congressional control as
1t was when the Republicans used to
be in control. This is what the DEM
ocratls leaders contend and what they
nope will be attempted. 1t will be in
teresting to see if their beliefs are
adhered to IN the next two years.
The reelection of Champ Clark con-
tnues him among the potential Pres
idential candidates. The defeat Of
Senator Weeks. of Massachusetts. on
the other hand, removes him from
the Republican Presidential possibil-
tiles.
Champ Clark's friends are anxious
TO have him made actual leader of
the House minority so that his Pres
ldential potentialities may be increas-
ed. They believe if he is given two
years in this trying position, he will
grow Immensely under it, so much
so, in fact, that if President Wilson
does not run for a third term, no
other candidate will appear to give
serious opposition for the place.
Republicans seem to feel that no
outstanding leadership will be devel-
oped as a result of their control Of
Congress to a point where that lead
ership will inject itself into the equa-
ton. Mr.. Lodge, as head of the For
eign Relations Committee of the Sem
ate. for instance, will not be able to
develop himself into Presidential tim
ber. Neither will BoLs Penrose as
head of the Finance Committee: nei-
ther will Mr.. Mann nor Mr. Gil

What We Must Fight For.

ExPremier Asquith touched the
fundamental issue of the war when
he said our main objective is ito de-
stroy Prussian militarsm." The
Ousting of the Hohenzollern is not the
main purpose. but only a corollary
OF IT. The cornerstone of the Hohen-
zollern is. and has always been. mill
tarism. The power of the Hohen-
zollern can be swept away only by
destroying the foundations on which
it rests.
The world will not be safe for
democracy" if miIitarism remains un-
destroyed. and militarism will not be
destroyed by an exchange of notes
with Berlin. The thing that started
Germany on her peace drive was not
the internal political situation, but
the many weeks of steady defeats
Marshal Foch administered 80 ''ar
armies. The best answer to her hy-
pocritical and urrrpent.',.
for peace is the drive on the Western
front
The German army must be smashed
to smithereens. Marshal Focn can
do it. if we give him time and back
him up. When the German army is
completely defeated and forced to an
unconditional surrender. when the
German people have been convinced
that militarism had led them to de
struction instead of to "a place in the
sum-" the Hohenzollorn will 60 Of
necessity. On this clear ground a
Germon democracy may then be
erected.
Let us not becIoud the issue: We
are not fighting for anything else
than, as Mr.. Asquith says. Ito
destroy Prussian militarism." When
that has been destroyed, no Kaiser
will have the despotic power to order
out, at twenty-four hours notice, an
army of 100000 to fight for some
thing they know nothing about-From

TWENTIETH INSTALLMFNr.

After the war is over" said Gen.
Mertens. "e are going to :ablish
big tourist resort here, build hotel
and sell relics to you Americans. We
shall not have to do much eXcavating
to find them-the British feet is
doing that for us now"
This sounded like a passing joke.
yet the statement was literally true.
Dardanos. where this emplacement is
located, was one of the famous cities
of the ancient world; in Homeric
times it was part of the principality
of Priam. Fragments of capitals and
columns are still visible. And the
shells from the allied fleet were now
plowing up many relics which had
been buried for thousansd of years.
One of my friends picked up a water
jug which had perhaps been used in
the days of Troy. The effectiveness
of modern gunire in excavating these
evidences of a long lost civilization
was striking-though unfortunately
the relics did not always come to the
surface intact.
The Turkish generals were. extreme
ly proud of the fight which this Dar-
danos battery had made against the
British ships. They would lead me to
the guns that had done particularly
good service and pat them affection
ately. For my benefit Djevad called
out Lieut. Hassan. the Turkish off,
eer who had defended this position.
He was a little fellow. with jet black
hair, black eyes. extremely modest
and almost shrinking in the presence
of these great. generals. Djevad pat
ted Hassan on both cheeks, while an
other high Turkish officer stroked
his hair one would have thought
that he was a faithful dog who had
just performed some peritorious
service.
TT is men like you of whom great
heroes are made" said Gen. Djevad.
He asked Hassan to describe the at
tack and the way it had been met.
The embarrassed lieutenant quietly
told his story. though he was moved
almost to tears by the appreciation
of his exalted chiefs.
There is a great future for you in
the army" said Gen. Djevad, as we
parted from this hero.
Poor Hassan's future" came two
days afterward when the allied fleet
made its greatest attack. One of the
shells struck his dugout, which caved
in. killing the young man. Yet his
behavior on the day I visited his
battery showed that he regarded the
praise of his general as sufficient
compensation for all that he had suf-
fered or all that he might suffer.

which stretched from Tchanak south

the Germans and Turks had scattered

This was the reason why this latter
part of the Dardaneiles was now
practically unfortifed. The guns that
had been moved for this purpose
were old style Krupp pieces of the
model of 1885.
South of Erenkeui, on the hills bor-
dering the road, the Germans had in
troduced an innovation. They had
found several Krupp howitzers left
over from the Bulgarian war and had
installed them on concrete founda-
tons. Each battery had four or five

the plan of defense. AS soon as the
dropping shells indicated that the
fleet had obtained the range. the
howitzer would be moved, with the
