! The Truth About the War

Many people are irritated by what
they regard as mud singing and
pln-prick criticism of the manage
nent of the War Department and
Df the army in France. Charges
brought to the attention of investi-
eating committees often have done
grave injustice to individuals. In
these Inquiries mere undertaking has
no proper place.
But their value to the public
should not be obseured by the per-
sonal annoyances these investiga-
tlons sometimes cause. Their legiti-
mate purpose Is to determine to
what extent the war was conducted
lntelligently and efficiently. We
must know just what mistakes were
made in order to avoid repeating
them. In all our earlier wars the
most costly blunders were commit
ted. We didn't profit much by these.
even In the two years and half in
which we were drifting near the
edge of the World War whirlpool
Eventually we lost thousands of
lives and billions of dollars through
our unpreparedness. How are we
going to amend our military policy
except in the light of our shortcom-
ings in the conduct of, the great
war-shortcomings which the Ad-
ministration has done it's best to
conceal and which can be uncovered
only by persistent inquiry7
A recent witness before COM
mittee in Washington was reported
as saying that the accomplishment
of the War Department in getting
ready for war was a greater accom-
plishment than that of France or
Great Britain in the same period of
time. That may be also Secretary
Bakers view. But it is not the
view of most Americans. 1t flies IN
the face of the facts which have so
far come into the public's possession.
How is statement like the above
to be substantiated unless some com
mittee drags out of reticent War
Department its hitherto hidden
records of accomplishment from
1914 TO 1917 in the way of military
preparation?
The Administration has withheld
many of the most essential facts
about our participation in the war
An Investigation brought out the
Benson cablegram to Sims defining
our original policy with regard to
