SOILED LINEN AS A BATTLE
FLAG.
The Philadelpnia Record,
Next year there will be a Presidential
election, and the Republicans in Con-
gress are going to get ready for it by in-
vestigating the conduct of the war in
the confident expectation of finding de.
ficiencies and mistakes which they will
parade in 1920 as a reason why the
country should repudiate the Adminis-
tration that fought the war.
They will find what they look f
We went into the war on an en
scale, and ** speed was the essence of
the contract”. The civil and military
officials of the Government are ordinary
human beings, with no supernatural
knowledge and with judgment that was
not infallible. A diligent scarch will
_ find many things that can be paraded by
any partisan orator or editor whose chief
object is to discredit the United States
Government before the world.
But the first thing to observe—and the
country has taken note of it—is that the
task of the Government in 1918 was at
least 100 times greater than its task in
1898, and the blunders it made then
were not less than 100 times as great as
those it made last year, If Republicans
were as intelligent as they are vindictive
they would take some pains to avoid
this comparison.
No nation ip the world ever did so
vast a military work in so short a time,
and did it so well, as the "Inited States
did last year. One must read in detail
the reports of the Secretary of War, the
Secretary of the Navy, the Food Admin-
istration, the Fuel Administration, the
Shipping Board and its subsidiaries, the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Railroad
Director, the War Industries Board and
the War Trade Board, in order to appre-
ciate the vastness of the task. Few per-
sons have access to all these documents,
or the time to read them.
But the work of raising an army of
more than 3.500000, clothing and
equipping it, caring for its hemith and
that of the wounded, of
more then 2,000,000 men to Europe, and
of so using them there as to win magni-
ficent victories, has been the astonish-
ment of the world, both friend and foe.
What we did in this war has glorified
the American name to the utmost cor-
ners of the earth, and for all time.
But the Republican politicians hope to
dig out of the records enough mistakes
to discredit the American nation be’ore
the world, and to dim the glory of i918
in American history. They have al-
ready succeded to a limited extent fn im.
pairing American influence at the peace
conferente by creating the impression
that the people are not backing up the
Administration. In their mean little
partisan souls they hope to do more, and
to go into the next national political
campaign under a banner of the soiled
national linen,
