SEEN ON THE, SIDE
It's n Long Way oye.
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER

It's n Long Way Over.
I've had n letter from a chap
Who's fighting over there
little demon for n scrap.
But clean. and neat. and fair;
And all he had to say about
The war: It's far to come.
But don't you fellows have doubt
Well soon be sailing home!
But here we are and here we'll be
Till all the world knows LIBERTY
We've set our eyes OH Freedoms skies,
Our sun is shining clear!
It's long way over. but
The Kaiser knows we're herew
n harmless chap. this Khaki Boy.
The kind you like because
He's full OF youth. and wild with Joy
But whom he sets his jaws
Somehow you know the time has come,
His task is set. and when
He hears the bugles and the drum
He'll measure up with MEN!
He's over there. he's over there,
bunch Of nerve aud grit
And death may be the heros share,
His unforgotten "bot.
His sleep may be in Flanders, yet
He writes: "I's far to come
But don't you folks behind forget
Wen soon be coming home!
It's long way over, long way over!
For some there will be taps and guns,
But two for one will drive the Huns!
God bless the flag we're lighting for
And keep its memory dear!
It's long way over, but
The Kaiser knows we're here!"

Senator Hitchcock knew only what
ne read in the papers.
There are matters upon which the
president. is not informed. but they
are not vital, and if they become so
ne mas at his command every avail.
anle source Of information in the
United States and the allied nations
On more than one occasion the
president has appeared before the
Jolnt assemblage Of both houses Of
inc congress and demonstrated that
he knew the real situation.
aore than once he has been able
to enlighten official Washington CON
corning matters OF local. national and
international affairs, and on every
occasion he has shown a marvellous
familiarity with the real situation.
Senator Hitchcock paints gloomy
picture. But he paints ii out OF
ms imagination. He disregards what
the president says he disregards
the statement Of Secretary Baker;
he ignores the statement of Gen.
Sharpe, the quartermaster general.
and bases his findings upon the
things he alone knows, and informa-
ton secured from a source which
nobody knows.
Before Senator Hitchcock proceed
ed with his castigation of the admin
istration he should have made some
inquiry as to the relibility of his
information. If the civilian in high
authority" has more reliable informa-
ton than the president of the United
States and his cabinet, then that
man is too big to remain in a name
less seclusion.
1t is more than likely however,
that Senator Hitchcock has fallen
into the pitfall that is regularly laid
for any democrat who shows dispo-
sition to step aside from the straight
and narrow path of administration
support
1t would be unfair and unjust to
say that there are government EN-
ployes in Washington who secretly
desire the defeat of the United
States in this war, but it may be
said with a positiveness based upon
actual experience with them, that
there are hundreds of civilian en-
ployes in Washington who do desire
the collapse of the democ attic admin
istration and its defeat at the polls
in the next election.
Washington is one city where poll
tics never ceases. The Republicans
have all the best of it in the civil
service jobs. The civil service was
created for their especial benefit
and protection, and they have been
loyal to the Republican party ever
since
Evidently these are the sources
from which Senator Hitchcock gained
his information and opinion of the
administrations weakness and i'm
potency.
For our part-and we believe we

to Daniels and to McAdoo as the

Gle.
If President Wilson has justified
our faith in the past by his measure
of men and his judgment of condi-
tions, there is no reason why we
should question him now that Senator
Hitchcock. of Nebraska, has seen
fit to characterize him as being un-
informed, and Secretary Bakers
statement as preposterous.
The truth of the matter in that
Secretary Baker demolished the paci-
fists, an element of the Republicans
and some recalcitrant Democrats,
with his statement before the senate

If the United States is in as bad
,way as has been represented by
Senator Chamberlain and Senator
Hitchcock, we,eught to end this war

If this country is as far from be-
ing an effective. ally as they seem to

as a natien and las individuals has
gone for laught.
But there was one encouraging
feature in the speech delivered yes
terday by Senator Hitchcock, and
that was when he said the president
does not know the real situation -
The encoura gemgent in this situa-
ton lies in the fact that either
President Wilson is wrong or Sen
ator Hitchcock IS wroBH.
Evidently Senator Hitchcock is
following the trend OF certain
brand of thought in this country
that gives the president credit for
being right In ali things they are
informed of, but absolutely wrong in
all matters wherein they are not in

The courier-index., 1918-02-15

We must remember that President
wilson knew OF the Vaccinations of
Count Won Bernstorff a year before
Senator Hitchcock or any other
member of the Senate, or the people
of the country at large, knew that he
was plotting against the lives of
American women and children and
sowing seeds of dissention within
our borders.
1t was the part of wisdom to keep
these transactions from the public
until the time arrived to strike.
The United States government was
reading Bernstorff's messages, relay
ed through the confidential channels
of Stockholm and Swedish ambass-
adors.
Had the president thought to con-
fide all the information obtained
through the department of justice,
the department of state and the sec
ret service department, as it develop
ed. no doubt Senator Hitchcock would
have considered the president as
wise a man as himself.
The president knew something of
the Luxburg matter, in which the
German ambassador at Argentina,
suggested that Argentine ships be
sunk without notice President VIII
son knew more about that matter
