of wide open investigations into al- most everything that might be made the subject of criticism of the admin istration.
 q do not mean that administrative errors should be concealed from our people. Of course, mistakes have been made by the government-doubt- less many and grave mistakes. In the circumstances that was inevitable, but is it necessary for us to stand on "a housetop and proclaim these mis- takes with loud voice to the whole world ?"
 Considering evtrything. MT. Stone asserted that the achievements of this congress and the administration "signalized a degree of marked sue cess without parallel in the worlds history" Undue publicity given present mistakes, he said, had adver- tised the nations weakness to the enemy.

"This is the time for universal national sympathy and solidarity My appeal now is to my colleagues on this side to stand firm ly against influences calculated to mislead us, and l appeal to my col leagues on the other side of this chamber to thrust back the evident rising tide of partisanship."
 The republican leaders purpose, he reiterated, is to elect congress out of harmony with the president.
 What would happen to the Wilson administration if the republican par ty should have control of the next congress 2" he asked. "If I were to adopt the use of Billy Sunday clas- sics the president would have a hell of time"
 In concluding, the Missouri senator presented statistics of what he term ed were partisan appointments of state war committees. He gave the statistics to show, he asserted, that democratic governors had been non partisan in their appointments, while republican governors had not.

 As proof of his charges which, Sen ator Stone said, he presented "delib- erately and regretfully," the republi- cans are "harping" on alleged admin istrative blunders and stalking their political fortunes upon their criti- cisms.

most republican state, very properly occupies the front seat in the republi- can national sanhedrin."
 Citing alleged statements of Sena- tor Penrose that the republican lead CTS were planning to demand an ac- counting of the conduct of the war, Senator Stone said that Senator Pen roses justification for his partisan outburst was over appointment of a democratic groceryman in Penn- sylvania and democratic farmer in Indiana as federal explosives inspec- tors.
 Turning to Chairman Wilcox, of the republican national committee, the Missouri senator said, before he introduced his "star witness" he would cite the statement made to the press by MT. Wilcox regarding the incompetence of the democratic par ty and it's effect on coming congress sional elections. He said meeting of the republican leaders had been called at St. Louis on Feb. 12 to in- augurate winter campaign.
 "Col. Roosevelt has engaged hall in St. Louis to make a war speech the day before the committee meet ing,,' Senator Stone continued.
 q now introduce my star witness; Theodore Roosevelt himself whom l characterize as the most seditlous man of consequence in America. The heart of this man is aflame with in- ordinate ambition and he runs amuck. His chief thought is not to help the government but al ways B * of Roosevelt. Almost every day this man speaks in bitter and contemptuous disparage- ment of the president and the major ity members of this congress. Ev- cry week for long time he has been and still is publishing under contract for a money consideration-think of it, for money-villianous screeds In the Kansas City Star-attacklng the president and the government. These Roosevelt contributions are repro duced in numerous important news papers. Whatever may be said of the papers reproducing these disloyal utterances the Kansas City Star * is chiefly responsible"
 Citing criticisms of MT. Roosevelt's editorials, Senator Stone said:
 "For example Roosevelt denounces the president and the government ln terms that would subject almost any other citizen to arrest, vet his utterances which l say would be denounced as reasonable Ii made by others are widely published with out even official protest.
 q have quoted these utterances of Roosevelt, first, to show that his vaunted claim, self-advertised, of superior brand of patriotism is emp tv and, secondly, to inquire why Roosevelt may say things with inn punitv which citizen of lesser conse- uuence dare not even repeat without danger of indictment for disloyalty
 At this point the senator made his reference to Roosevelt as an aid to the kaiser and then turned to the con- gressional war investigations. He did not question the right of congress to make the inquiries, but rather their purpose and ublicity given to nation al difficulties.
 q cannot believe,' he said, "that 'that worldwide advertisement ot alleged deficiencies in our war activ- ities, even if ultimately found true, is necessary to bring about admlnls- trative reform. I doubt the wisdom

SERGEANT MCDONALD
WRITES INTERESTINGLY Y
Likes it Over ia France And Says He
Is Enjoying Every Moment of His
Time.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mrs. J. A. Mcdonald from
her son, Sergeant Allan Mcdonald,
Who is with Company c, 522nd Sv.
8n. Engineers, in France:
Ny dear Mamma Net:
Just a few lines today to let you
know that l am well, and feeling
fine l haven't been able to see much
,of the country yet, as we are only
about five miles away from the port
where We landed. This is certainly
a beautiful country, and l haven't
yet seen fence around any of the
farms, only hedges. The fields are
only about one to two acres large,
and everything is planted very close
together. The French women go
around selling nuts, candy, and wine,
if they get a chance, but the mill
tary police have everything under
control and what they say goes.
The day We arrived l passed the
quite surprised to see them, as /
thought they were at Camp Dix for
the duration of the war. l saw one
of the Sergeants, and he has been
made a Second Lieutenant
We may be in our present camp
for about ten days yet. We are sleep
ing in our little dog tents. We have
to crawl in them and if we should
happen to turn over at night, down
would come the tent. !
Anyway, I'm enjoying every min
ute of the time, and am willing to
put up with anything, as the sights
are worth it.
With lots of love and kisses for
you, | am your loving son,
ALLEN.
