globe and the statesmen of the all lied governments accepted his lead ership.
 An observing citizen cannot fail to be aware of the unusual efforts which Republican leaders have been making for the last two or three years to regain the mastery of the machinery of government To this purpose, they have brought all their ingenuity, have summoned all their resources, have magnified belond all reason, minor errors of judgment in the conduct of the great war. have mobilized the forces of irritation and discontent, and have made tacit con- sessions to certain elements, which, to say the least, show tendencies toward open sedition. It is an un- holy alliance and cannot prevail.
 Wilson Slandered, Charge.
 As I read the reports of their speeches of strict and unrelenting partisanship. l wonder what phrases of abuse. what language of vituper- ation, what invective, what recital of blunders and crimes would have agitated the political atmosphere if the President of the United States had led the country to the disastrous conclusion of an unsuccessful war. EV cry epithet of reproach has al ready been exhausted in an attempt to discredit the leadership of Amer iCa's Prsidpn. at time when Amer ica's prestige was never greater, Americas power never so vast and Americas success never so trans cendent The campaign of islander, which is the very spume of politics, has been reserved for Americas S greatest triumph. To listen to the spokesmen of the Republican or ganization is to gather the impress sion that America losl the war, and has Teen forced into q discreditable peace, aumiliating to Sll lovers of constitutional government and free dom I do not know how others may feel about it, but as for myself, am proud to be an American citi- zen. I am proud of the army. I am proud of our, great navy I am proud of the heroism of American men and women. I am proud of the role that America has played in the affairs of the world. I am proud of the work which America is doing for the world I am proud of the power of my country and of the manner in which that power has been used; and am proud of the leadership of President Wilson.
 Little more than a year ago, Gen. eral Haig, with the bluntness of a soldier, said The British army is fighting with it's back against the wall" About the same time Lloyd George said, Tt is a race between Wilson and Hindenburg," and at that very moment, France was clinging like drowning man to the rock of Verdun and turning agonizing eyes

toward America. And America ar rived. The war was won and 1 chal- lenge the critics Of the administra- tion to suggest how, within the bounds of human possibility, the war could have been won more promptly or with less loss of Amer ican life. The Republican party is rendering small service to America when it converts the machinery of it's organization into an instrument of attack upon American leadership and American honor
 G. o. p. Reverts to Type.
 "The Republican organization has reverted to type It's leaders seek to restore the good old days of Mark Hanna" Unable to agree upon any constructive program of their own, they unite in unfaltering op- positions to anything and everything that is proposed by President Will son.
 Political animosity followed the President to the peace table, sena- torial pronunciamentos of a censori- ous character were issued from time to time. a round robin" was widely circulated, and indeed, every device which partisanship could develop was employed for the purpose of weakening the influence of our com mission at Paris and making the task there still moIe difficult Rude and unskilled hands were thrust reclllessly amid the interlacing strands of human destiny. At a time when every instinct of fairness plead ed for a whole-hearted support of the President, political antagonisms and personal envy controlled the anti-administration forces.
 How shall political equilibrium be restored? How shall society be steadied so that the processes of healing may serve their beneficien: purpose? Has statesmanship no bet ter answer than to suggest that America should attempt to withdraw into a position of studied isolation, leaving the world to chaos and in viting a recurrence of a world war into which America will be drawn as inevitably as it was drawn into this war? Shall we follow this policy of ignominous and futile selfishness Shall that great light of hope which famed from liberty-loving America upon tke troubled and desperate peo- pies of the earth be darkened for ever? There is neither honor nor safety in such response to an agon- ized world. No man and no party Intentionally placing obstacles in the way of League of Nations will sur vive long enough to outlive the memory of such an offense against humanity and civilization"

Inasmuch as these engagements con-
formed to the POLICY of the President,
many times expressed before Congress,
and were known to it, one is astonished
to see these republicans, whose sympa-
this were generally acquiescent at the
end Of the conflict with our enemies, turn
to destroying the work which, in spite CT
its imperfections assured to the nations
which were associated upon the field o.
battle their minimum of guarantee.
1t is the attitude of America which
has been the principal cause of delay. Ger
tainly, as one Knows well. the ratification
by this power is not technically indis-
pensabe TO putting the treaty into effect
But practically, for the full application
of certain clauses, for putting into move
ment the complicated machinery of the
administration of commissions, one had
always counted upon the help of America.
We hope that, aside from ratification or
the treaty, the Senate will authorize its
officials and it's high command to col
laborate with the entente powers for the
realization of peace. The latest news from
Washington excludes for the present al!
possibility of cooperation.

Evidence That Mexico Has
Been Preparing For Worst

lR EcENT disclosures made by
0N government investigators indi-
cate that our good friends, the Next
can, have not been calmly waiting
for American jingoes to cross the
Rio Grande and capture the country.
For land where "manana" is sup
posed to be a popular slogan, the
Mexicans have shown a great deal
of forethought and instead Of post
poning everything until tomorrow"
there are reports of huge orders for
arms and ammunition placed abroad.
! Even during the Var Mexico was
making active preparations to resist
the expected American invasion. Spain
received large orders, machine gun
manufactured by the Dons being APP
parently most efficient weapon.
Disregarding the affectionate inter-
est we have been taking in Belgium,
and continue to take, the willy Mex
leans began doing business with Bel
gian munitions makers, but Uncle
Sam was able to take a hand in the
proceedings there, although Spain is
outside his jurisdiction as an associ-
ate of the allied powers. There is
also talk of a heavy influx of Rus
sian "reds" through Mexico.
These revelations are not particu-
larly alarming. Anyone acquainted
with the temper of the present Mex
ican government would naturally ex-
pect it to make some preparations
to oppose intervention. Neither
