Col. such an expedition in short order and of the administration for a drafted army. The reasons which are ad- | vanced for the administration’s re- fusal to permit the Colonel to go. ahead are not creditable. There can] be no monopoly of glory in this war. The Colonel could not monopolize it; the President should not attempt to do so. ¥ { WOOD VS. STEEL SHIPS It is understood that Gen. Goethals is unwilling to undertake the job of hatening out a flock of wooden jitney merchantmen as the Shipping Board” desires. He has concluded that such ships would soon be shaken to pieces by the vibration of their engines and that the only thing to use is steel as There is no doubt that standardized steel parts for ships can be prepafed almost as quickly ‘as woden parts ean and it is certain that such ships would be far more serviceable, The Shipping Board, made up as it is of men who know nothing about shipping, was doubtless dreaming of the good old days of clipper ship—many members of Congress have been dreaming about the good old days of the volun- teer army. .

Coffin was made to appear as a common scold and in which he berated the American peo- ple for applying drastically and with- out discrimination the economies which wartime seems to demand, was not made by Mr. Coffin at all. It was that, too, without disturbing the plans Prepared by George Creel the civilian {in small bunches and suspended from chairman, of President Wilson’s board of censorship, it was “wished on to” Mr. Coffin, and given out to the press. Mr. Coffin, who is a true sport in ad- dition tv being a member of the Presi- dent’s national defence board, stood for it. It was only when the storm of protest swelled up from every section of the country that the truth appear- ed. Mr. Creel’s duties on the board of censorship are to see that the news- papers of the country do not publish false and misleading news. It-is signi- ficant that his first public work was to put out the first fake of the war. AN UNJUST CRITICISM The New York World cried out against Congress as being “deficient in brains because of the delay’ in passing the conscription bill.” The World is disingenuous, 'owever, . ir. failing to point out that une delay wa: caused most largely by the opposition of Democrats to the bill which their President advocated and which their | Speaker tried to kill. When Congress convened there was no one more voei ferous than the New York World demanding that the Democrats mus~ organize the House so that legislatior could proceed along lines which = Democratic President would lay: down. The Democrats did succeed iz organizing the House, and the New York World exulted. Now it decries Congress for its deficiency in brains, when the fault is not al all with Con- gress as a whole but only with that part of Congress which shares the Democratic politics of the New York World.
