THE RECORD STANDS.

A careful reading of Admiral Sims
charges SO far as published shows
that they run exclusively along the line
of alleged failure with the Allies dur
ing our participation inthe war. Charg-
es so general and of such a character
may and doubtless should impress
Congress as worthy of most rigid in
vestigation, says the New York World
But they will fail to impress the Amer
lean public as either sensational or
disturbing in the slightest degree This
is because they tend to impeach the
general record Of American naval CO.
operation in winning the war and that
record is entirely beyond impeach-
ment. 1t is known, it is information
ally admitted, it is broadly established
ineactual fact, it is as secure as the
past is secure.
When the record shows that our
naval cooperation made the blockade OF
Germany as perfect as anything OF the
kind could possibly be; when is shows
that thereafter the German High Seas
Fleet went into permanent hiding. as
against even occasional foraysi when
It shows that the tide of the submarine

against the Germans with that coop
GRAFTON; when it showed that under
convoy of the American Navy through
enemy infested seas the life of not a
single American soldier was lost
among the many hundreds of thous-
ands transported across the Atlantic
no amount of Congressional investiga-
ton can prove failure to cooperate
fully in winning the war.
Knocking" the navy or the army for
personal purposes, knocking for pro-
fessional purposes, knocking for part
isan purposes. is no doubt to be ex-
pected after. victorious war as often
in peace for no higher purposes. Mis-
takes have almost necessarily been
made which none the less may call for
serious investigation, that the future
may profit from the past. But in the
large sense of naval cooperation, prob
able cause for investigation has not
been shown and cannot be shown
There is the record, and it stands.

LLOYD GEORGE PRAISES AMER
ICA,S WAR RECORD.

when questioned few days ago
by a Chicago Tribune representative
concerning the Lord Grey Letter, Lloyd
George said:
II might have hopes, from the Euro
mean standpoint, as to what America
might see its way clear to do, especial
" in view of the value of time, but
could never put myself in the position
of advising it about its business.
Lord Grey's letter was different
matter. 1t was in the nature OF re-
port to the British people on what he
had observed during his stay in Amer
lea and to give them a clearer idea.
II will tell you how | feel about
America. 1t came into the war at
time when the need for its coming was
most urgent.
It's coming was like an avalanche.
The world has never seen anything
like it.
cts great army of all ranks gave
a service that no man would in 1917
have believed possible.
"The efforts Of its navy was beyond
praise.
"The president and the whole adj
ministration at Washington and every
branch of American cooperation every
where worked closely and effectively
with the European effort against Ger
many.
"And, finally, the great American
people put every ounce of their irwin
chile might into the war 5000 miles
away-a war on issues at first strange
to them and offering no direct or inn
mediate menace to their interests.
"And now I can only say that trust
them. trust their fairness and their
sound judgement And whether they
come in or stand aloof, even If they
never gave anything more than they
have already given, they would leave
Great Britain and the whole of Europe
under a debt of gratitude that can
never be repaid"

MORE THAN A "scRAP OF PAPER
THIS TIME,

{ Il y IL q .
Germany threatens to disregard It's
peace treaty with the Allies the same
as it did the treaty with Belgium. But
it had better beware OF the conse-
quences of such an act. The peace
treaty with the Allies is no scrap OF
paper that can easily be. torn up and
disregarded. The written peace trea-
ty is mounted on fabric that has
swords and bayonets for its warp and
wool.
Why should Germany refuse to sur
render for trial the men whose fiend-
ish conduct disgraced Germany and
turned nearly all Christendom against
that country?
The Allies hold a large tract OF
German territory, as security for the
faithful performance Of the treaty.
Does Germany want to forfeit that por-
ton Of the Fatherland to protect these
monsters from the punishment they
richly deserve?

have been busy for nearly year. It
is little more than the expense of the

by the Republicans is. to be judged by
the way in which the rivers and har-

it promises to be only little worse
