Honestly, Alice, | don't know Just
what should be the offices of friend.
Sometimes I think a true friend never
gives advice, especially il it is not
asked. And even then he is very sp,
to make mistake, for when most poo-

One Of their chief criticisms il that

lions of the peoples money was vast
ed because Of the ineffioiency Of the
Democrats. lss
Now there is a great difference Of
opinion among people, who ought to
know something about it, whether the
war, from the American standpoint,
[mas well or poorly managed. u
As there is no possible way to de-
eide the question, it will probably al
ways be debated.
1t was the most stupendous job
ever undertaken BY any nation in the
worlds history, and necessarily cost
a lot Of money.
Whether it cost few billions more
Of few billions less than it would
have cost if somebody else4-say,
Roosevelt, Or Hughes, or Taft-had
been president, is purely speculative.
One thing we do know is that the
tremendous power developed by
America on the battle front brought
about Germanys defeat at least a
year sooner than any Allied leader
expected, and that the cost in Amer
lean lives was less than anybody
thought it would be-.
A very large part Of whatever
waste" in money there may have
been is properly chargeable to the
speed with which America developed.
her power.
This speed cost money but saved
lives.
SO far as the money cost Of the war

syndicate greatly underestimates the
intelligence of the voters. !.
Certainly the facts Is to President
