a Creed for Americans

wnuam Howard Taft in the Phila-

purpose until events force him on 10

Neither congress nor the admins

that our allies could win II we Turn

It could easily be established that for
some time after this war began there
was no serious purpose on the part
Of the administration to put large
army in France. The coming OF
the reluctant sending OF our small
expeditionary force under Pershing

it was not intended TO increase the
force beyond half a million The
fond hope INDUCED was that the Aus
TRAN people would break away from
Germany and the German people
could be separated from their kaiser
and the military regime. Much re-
lance was placed on an Interchange
of messages and speeches which were
to rouse the German people to revo-
lntionary action by convincing them
that We were not warning to destroy.
but only to secure q inst peace.
A powerful cult IN Washington and
elsewhere has severely criticised
Lloyd George because he advocates
the fighting OF this war to knock

military party with the German
people and prevents their revolt

is said that they would through the

of Russia by deceit and treachery has
followed. The stin small voice Of
the socialists in the reichstag against
annexations and indemnities has been
drowned In the triumph. The reich
stag is now invited to repeal the
resolution declaring the peaceful and
self denying policies Of the German
people.
There Is reason 70 believe that our
peace seeking cult has not been con-
WINGED, even yet. Of the futffity Of it's
plan. 1t hopes that the Germans
will be held on the western front,
that a counter offensive win then

CONGRESSIONAL, PuFvooNERY.

Probably the issue of the Congressional Rec.
ord which contains the latest and greatest ora
4orical outburst of the Alabama Adonis, Repre-
sentative Helm, will be week or two late in
coming to hand That is often the way; and
when one really wants number of that fasci
hating periodical it is not unlikely to be lost in
transit and never arrive. It was this congress
man who was charged on the floor with having
= the bravest mouth and the most cowardly
legs which had ever been associated In physi-
caI makeup;'' and now that he filings the base
slander back into the teeth Of the man from
Illinois who made it, the Record as might be ex-
nected has not yet come and never may. It is
not half so dependable Mr.. Creels t'Court
Chronicle - which has arrived so regularly that
we seemed to be tearing off its wrapper most of
the time while picturing some pleasant sur.
prise in store.
AS to Congressman Helm, readers will have
to possess their souls in patience. When the
Record containing his remarks arrives there
will be due publicity given them. Congress is
so dead serious nowadays that little foolish,
ness ON the part of members is not unwecome

The course Of events has retuted

energy will be directed to their new
terrttoey In the east Messages and
hnmeyed words calculated to win them

plan for at least three years. It
should be worked out in detail and
legislation enacted to permit it to be
begun with clear vision of its ex-
tent, requirements and purpose.
The American people believe IN
fighting this war to 'knockoat," as
Lloyd George phrases It Their con-
ception Of its world importance and
their vital concern in It are broaden
ing as our participation in It becomes
greater. This western drive has
started them into anxious interest.

ANorHER NEWSPAPER CONSOLIDATION.

The removal of newspaper landmark
through the sale of the Chicago Herald to the
Illinois Printing and Publishing company and
its consolidation with the Examiner Is an event
in the journalistic field directly resulting from
conditions throughout the country. High cost
of material and lack of capital required to carry
on to success an enterprise Of such magnitude as
was comprehended in the vision Of Publisher
Kelley has forced the Herald from the field 1t
was clean newspaper, and if some Of It's
ideals are successfully inoculated into the
blood of the Examiner the latter will not lack IN
ability to fill the place in public esteem so long
held by the Herald
Mr.. Kelley purchased the Record-Herz and
the Inter-Ocean four years ago, after serving as
editor for the Tribune for number OF years
and named the combined papers the Herald.
The Record-Herald was a combination OF the
Record and the Tfmes-Herald, while the latter
was a union of the Times and Herald, 50 that
the new paper is combination of five Chicago
morning newspapers, some of them dating back
to the early days of Chicago journalism. The
combination of the Herald and the Examiner
leaves but two English morning papers in Chi
