The Soldiers Extra Months PAY.

One amendment to the pending reve

instance OF Senator Tranmell. should
be agreed to by the conterees without
change and without raising any dis
cussion. This amendment provides
for an extra months pay for all Off
GERS and enlisted personnel Of the army
and navy and marine corps who have
served in the war against Germany
who have been honorahly discharged
since Nov. II or who may be honorably
discharged hereafter.
Congress has not made adequate
provision for officers and enlisted men
upon their discharge from the ser
vice. Enlisted men particularly are
left in the lurch, as their pay is small
and often they have no means of get

There is as much sense in IL as in ad-
vising the directorate OF a bank or
corporation to adjourn for a decade.
There is Of course plenty Of oppoT-
tunity TO poke fun at a Legislature. The
legislature invariably supplies the OPP
portunity; but that is no good reason
for utter dismissal Of any claim Of the

in a letter to the mayor that:
The attitude Of Mr.. Hearst during

than an honor and we cannot permit
the expression OF our admiration and
gratitude for the splendid service Of

Here in Iowa we still think suCh

The result IS that Iowa has only /

APPEALS TO REPUBLICANS.

Mr.. David Lawrence. the southern
newspaper correspondent, who has
been voicing the views OF the ad-
ministration in his letters, and who Is
| now in Europe. in one of his recent
cablegrams to- the New York Post
throws some unexpected light on the
foreign situation. He says that II the
actual situation in Europe were
known in America as he and the
other correspondents know it, the re-
publican party would demand the i'm
mediate withdrawal of our army from
Europe" instead OF fooling with aca-
demic questions growing out Of the
league of nations. Just why he i'm
poses this duty on the republican
party, he does not tell U.s. but he prob
ably assumes that the democrats In
conSress would not care to break OPP
emily with the present foreign course,
even if they knew the facts. In order
that We may not misstnte or misin-
terpret Mr., L.awrence's position, let
US make these excerpts from his sig
nificant letter:
Many an American here Is asking
himself the question what the attitude
OF the people of the United States
would be If they knew all that had
been going on here recently. My own
opinion il that the republican party,
instead Of discussing accidentally
whether a league of nations should be
taken up at the beginning or the end
OF the peace conference should de-
mand the withdrawal Of the American
army from Europe at the earliest pos
sible moment and the refusal to sign
any peace treaty committing America
to any territorial settlements whatso-
ever or permitting America to become
any further involved in the meshes Of
European diplomacy"
He also tells us that in case the
American idea of a league of nations
is accepted and adopted the United
States for one will he asked TO what
extent II will ne willing to help pre-
serve the peace of Europe. That is to
say. if the peace is made upon our
ideas, it will devolve on US to assume
the leadership in maintaining that
peace and the Americans, or many Of
them. fear that il will be an inter
nina BILE and hazardous piece of bust
ness for us, one that they cannot wish
upon America.

not to look after such important de-

that this sickening blunder of int

there can be no question but that IT
would lead the international complica-

All Of this goes to show that there
IS more involved than the academic

idea is that he for one believes that
