LODGE VS.. LODGE .A6AIn.

Here is an excerpt from an ar
ticle in the Forum magazine of
! December, 1918, on page GA. pub
) liShCd within a month after the ar
! miSticc had been signed and con-
/ tributed by Senator Lodge:
"Thc President who delivered The
war message and Congress who
voted for war. would guilty of

willing 10 make Il peace on the

before the war. IL VIC send our

crime which nothing can Justify.
. The intent OF Congress and the in
tent of the President was that there
could be no peace until We could

make peace except in company
with our allies. 1t would brand us
with everlasting dishonOr and bring
ruin to us also if we undertook 10
make separate peace.
Quoting the above from Mr..
, Lodges article in the Forum. Ser
geani Melvin ID. Ilildrcth. in an ar
ticle in the Springfield Republican
Of Dec. 10Th. comments as follows:
Thus by his own words does
Mr.. Lodge stand convicted of n
or me which nothing can justify
of branding us all with everlasting
dishonor.' We fellows who went
over bore the burden. We were
summoned by call, worse than
hypocritical il Lodge has his way,
to fight war TO end war. and be-
cause we believed. more than 1O0.-
600 Americans have been done to
death"
When Mr.. Lodge wrote what Scgt.
flildrcth here quotes, he was no
doubt expressing an unbiased Opin-
ion but in considering, last fall. the
ratification of the treaty and the
approval of the League of Nations
TO prevent future war. Mr.. Lodge
was partisan politician seeking TO
worry and discredit the President
for party purposes.
SO far he has lost by the votes
of his own party Senators both in
his effort to separate the League
Covenant from the treaty and in
his effort to amend the treaty in
any particular. But he is yet labor
ing to cripple, or, as the President
understands it, to nullify the Lea
que by reservations. Our hope
and we may say. the worlds hope
is that he nrav fail

PREPOSTER0uS FABRICATION,

The State and Treasury Depart
mcnts and the Federal Reserve
Board, on Jan. st. characterized
rs Il "preposterous absurdity" the
statement published that loan of
$4,000, 100000 has been pledged to
Niscount Grey for the British gov
eminent by the Democratic admin
istratiOn. There is no basis for the
statement, and none could exist.
In the first place Viscount Grey
did not request the loan. In the
second place the administration
could as easily have pledged the
moon as to guarantee the future
loan of such an enormous sum. In
the third place. Congress alone
alone could authorize such a loan,
and provide means for raising the
funds. Sentiment in Congress is
such as to preclude the possibility
Of legislation in the direction in

Accuses Republicans Of Inject

CITES GERMAN SUPPORT
BY the Associated Press

Chicago, Oct. 18.-Speaking ut a
luncheon at the Iroquois Club here to-
day Secretary Of State Colby charged
the Republican party with 1.-THE
methodical effort to play upon the sus-
capabilities Of every racial group In
America" and characterized it as lone
Of the most sinister features" Of the
Republican campaign.
He accused the Republicans Of trans
porting to America and injecting into
purely domestic issues factional strifes
and prejudiccs Of Europe, and of tax =
ing advantage Of these susceptibilties
in immigrants before they have had
time to learn America and become
American.
Mentioning the Germans, by way OF
illustration, Mr.. Colby declared that
any general organized support from the
German element in America is an cx
preston Of either disappointment or
resentment at the course of the United
States in the war.
"Thcrc is not journal published ir
