Republicans In Congress attempted
to have a congressional committee
created for the purpose of supervising
and auditing war contract expendi-
lures. Even Democratic members ad
nit there Is great waste and extrava-
gance = and even graft = in the ex-
expenditure of such vast sums. But
the Democrats refuse to agree to any
auditing or supervising committee.
Twice they have defeated such pro
posals.
Congressman Fess, chairman of the
Republican Congressional Committee,
says he cannot understand the ''sensi-
tiveness" of the Democratic Congress
whenever the proposition is made to
have an audit of the public's money.
He says the Republicans will, If they
control the next Congress, create such

NO "DICkERED' PEACE
Germany Must Surrender" Say
Republican Leaders In Treaty
Making Senate.

Early In August, Senator Lodge,
ranking Republican member of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
and Republican leader In the Senate,
sounded an earnest warning against
any premature or compromising peace
with Germany. He demanded a peace
dictated only by victorious American
and Allied armies, peace involving
Germany's unconditional surrender.
His address aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm In all the Allied countries,
where 1t was reproduced In the public
press.
When the recent Teutonic overtures
for peace were made, Republican lead
ers in the Senate, which is the treaty
making body of this government, I'M
mediately went on record against any
armistlce or "dickering" with Ger
many and her allies. Senator McCum-
Der, Republican, of North Dakota, in
troduced resolution committing the
United States against any cessation OF
hostilities or peace negotiations with
Germany until the Hun surrendered
Internationally and agreed to make
alton to the nations he had
rayaged.
This resolution was endorsed by the
Republican leaders in the Senate, who
Insisted there must be no let-up In the
prosecution of the war abroad or its
support at home until Germany and
her allies lay down their arms and
say, 1--WE are defeated. What terms
of peace and reparation do you i'm

1t Is absurd to attempt to make 1t
appear that II Senators Lodge. Nc
Cumber, Poindexter, Nelson and their
Republican colleagues carry the No
vember elections and win control of
the next Senate such an event would
be hailed with Joy In Berlin and with
dread by our Allies.

ALL PARTIES ARE LOYAL
Democratic Leaders Claim OF
Monopoly on Patriotism
Insult to Millions.

II Is of themselves, not of the Presi-
dent, that Democratic members OF
Congress are thinking when they urge
the election OF Democratic Congress
upon the ground II is necessary in or
der to support the President In his war
program. II is partisanship and not
patriotism that they are preaching. 1t
is base effort TO make party capital
out of national crisis and cash In"
as party on national sacrifices.
From the very beginning the Repub-
lIcans In Congress have unhesitatingly
voted money, men and other resources
and power without limit whenever the
Administration asked II as war
measure. The record shows that upon
several occasions when war measures
asked by President Wilson were be-
ing bitterly fought by Democratic
leaders the Republican leaders came
to the rescue of the President and
gave him what he wanted.
Republicans have resigned their
seats In Congress to enter into active
military service in support Of the war.
Republicans everywhere have sent
hundreds of thousands of their own
flesh and blood TO give armed support
to the President and the government.
Republicans have led the fight for pre-
paredness They have stood by the

There 10 as yet no certain way in

there is a group Of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur In the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely In Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case Of ordi-

with Influenza feels sick rather sud

eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit Most of the pa

with this comes a fever In which the

The Submarine Menace,

The news comes Of the sinking Of
a ship by a German submarine seven
hundred miles east Of the Delaware
capes. Comment is that tho submarine
was returning home, that her mission
to American waters was ended.
Hard upon this comes news Of the
appearance in West Indian waters Of
q German raider, fast and well armed,
sinking ships and shelling others, and
causing great uncasiness thereabouts.
She IS supposed to be "mother" ship,
a supply ship, to tho submarines.

invasion is not easily taken. There is
but little persuasiveness in the sug-
gestion of bluff; that, at most, Ger

plan Of action and has made provision
for it; that she is seeking troopships
and ships with supplies for troops, and
Is awaiting opportunity to strike.
It Is very clear that a submarine
campaign Of any length or serious pro-
portions cannot be conducted at this
distance from Germany without the

regarded by others as a peace offensive

Of rapprochaaent is at once violently
denounced by the enemies Of 4 rap.
prochnent in the various countriea
so long will it be impossible to see how
any exchange Of ideas leading to peace
can be begun"
Really some progress has been made
toward understanding Il the German
spokesman has reached the point of
appreciating that the allies look with
incredulity upon German talk Of peace,
with suspicion upon German sugges-
tons of terms, with positive distrust
upon German pretensions Of desire to
arrange amicab1y for the end Of the
war.
Dr.. Kuehlmana urges that one of
the preliminary conditions OF the real
peace approach must be certain de-
grees of mutual confidence in each
others honesty and chivalry." Let it
be accepted as a basic fact in this pres
ent deadlock Of war that none Of the
entente powers today has the least
confidence in Germanys honesty and
chivalry." IF peace cannot come until
the allied powers approach the table
Ct conference with trust In those quail
ties on the part Of Germany the war
must go on and on.
Germany has forfeited all claims to
confidence and trust. Violating every
canon Of deceney. every law Of in
ternational relationship, every rule Of
war. Germany today stands exposed in
hideous nakedness Of dishonor. No
form Of words, no belated show Of re-
pentance or reform can win condone-
ment by the allies.
If hope persists at Berlin that Eng
land, France, Italy and the United
States can be eajoled or wearied into
peace maneuyers on the basis of agree
ment with Germany as a power Of
equal negotiations, the amazing self
delusion that has beset Germany from
the beginning still prevails, a delu-
zion that has cost the world the great

that will have oeen q wicked waste if
it does not lead to permanent protec-
ton from an evil power seeking do

Stamps, Thrift and Victory.

There are two good reasons why all
Americans should buy war savings
stamps One Is that the government
needs the money for the prosecution
Of the war, and the other is that the
individuals need to acquire the saving
habit. This "little liberty bond" is
one Of the best possible means Of stop
ping the constant leaking from the
pocket. Tt al,sorbs the small change
that otherwise flows continually into
channels OF waste or luxurious indul-
gence, Buying these stamps incul-
Gates the thrift custom, The millions
that are being accumulated In the
form Of the little green stickers will
Ne available = few years hence for SUBJ
stantial purposes, money that other
wise would have been frittered away.
But after all the best and strongest
reason is that the government needs
the money. This war is the most cost
ly undertaking the United States ever
started It will require many billions
to finance it. Before peace is declared,
through victory. our war debt will have
mounted to an immense sum. Much of
this will be represented by the stamps,
payable in five years. Perhaps there
will be another series Of stamps next
year. If the people do their part the
stamp debt will be considerable pro-
portion Of the whole. But that debt
stands for action and efficiency in war
making. Every stamp means contrf-
