Convention was held. -the giving out
of statements concerning; his views
on political' questions', which .reached
a.cllrnax when Colonel Roosevelt pre
pare'd General Wood as a compromise
candidate for the Presidency In a
telegram to. the Republican conven
tion could be brought up. All this,
together with the admission of Colo
nel Roosevelt to the Flattsburg camp
to make a political speech, an inci
dent that brought a sharp reprimand
to General Wood from Secretary Gar
rison, Is now considered to be past
and gone. Nothing counts now but
military efficiency and few men are
esteemed in that, as is General Wood.
Politics Dropped.
When the war began politics was
dropped absolutely so far as any con
tact with the army is concerned. The
President selected as commander-in-chief
of the army abroad General Per
shing, who Is a Republican. He Is
the son-in-law of Senator Warren, a
Republican leader. Most of the'btgh
officers of the army today ar. men
who got their promotions through the
aid of Republican Admtnlstratloas,
and presumably hare been In sym
pathy with Republicanism.
The man whose Job It is to handle
all the supplies and equipment for
the army overseas Is a Republican
Gen. George W. Goethals. Yet when
ever flaws are picked, the Republicans
in Congress shout out against the
Democratic Administration and both
Senator Lodge and Representative
Longworth have both made bitter
speeches lately Insinuating that this
Is "the President's war" or "the Dem
ocratic party'a war."

There are Republicans galore In
high office today. Not only Is, the
army being run by Republican gen
erals, but Secretary Baker dismissed
Assistant Secretary Ingraham, a
Democrat, and replaced him by As

though never active In politics. Is a
Republican. Edward R. Stettlntus,

The President doesn't confer with

recommended by the War Depart

army affairs, he consults General Pey
ton March, chief of staff, and he has
personal messages constantly from
General Bliss and General Pershing
abroad. For this reason he has-'not
been receiving any returning gen

suircesled.

This coBntry and the allies are

for themselves, never learned to

men should live In civilization, as
tree men thinking for themselves,

these amateurs of democracy Ques

To read what Is written here Is
not pleasant, for It means long
fighting, and some Inevitable dis
appointments. When a decent man resents the
Insults of a professional .bruiser
he Is pretty sure to be knocked flat.
In spite of having right on his side.
And nation or nations that eon

However, this country and the al

it is that confronts and threatens
them and what their difficulties
will be.
Professional prizefighter do not
rule the world. Their status Is
lower and lower as the years pass. ,
And Germany, the professional
prizefighting nation, will. In the
end, not rule this world. For the
gain la discipline means loss In
thought. Servile obedience to
orders means less .enthusiasm be

la the end enthusiasm and thought,
creating the will to be fres, even
without power of Iron discipline,
brings victory.

The same fate awaits the Hohen
