When the president says that |
"Senator Chamberlain's statement ^

"TO SPEED UP THE WAR."
Mr. Wilson has been handling the!
ar in his own way. with the aid of j
jngress generally, and The News
>ars that the "lack of harmony
hich is making a mess of it" is the
?sult of an over-zealousness on the
art of newspaper writers to be investing.
Moreover, Mr. Wilson
as been backed by the loyal Arnerlins
everywhere In his policies of
irrying on the war. Roosevelt has
Ben working- overtime in an effort
> discredit the administration's
alicies and his utterances in the
ansas City Star and other papers
jve been scarcely beyond the pale
' treason. Roosevelt now at a|
tychological moment drops in on
'ashington to "help speed up the
ar." That is. The News assumes,
lat according to Mr. Roosevelt's
ewpoint. the administration is not
pable and that Roosevelt is needI
at the national capital. ltoose
sit. seeing a clash imminent be-j
;een some of bis kind and the pi es-i
ent, seeks to kindle partisan tires!
id create strife in the official
nisehold, which is calculated to
nder. not to speed up. the war.
nator Stone. democrat, took a
ng at Colonel Roosevelt by calling
m an agent of the Kaiser, an agent
sofar as his criticisms were giving
mfort to the enemy, aqd opened
e way for the Colonel to get in
me opposition to the administrain.
Senator Stone's utterances
id the speech of Senator Chamberin
in which he criticized the conict
of the administration, were exavajgant
and possibly misguided.
: any rate, at this time when the
untry should be solidly behind

travagance of words arc at least
lfortunate.
Colonel Roosevelt arrives in
'ashlngton and announces that

y that the Colonel is ready to
lost up the Oregon senator in his
iterances against the efficiency of
le administration's war policies,
he Colonel announces also that
My purpose in coming down is to
i everything I can to help speed up
te war so as to make our co-opera011

the Colonel really wishes to
make our co-operation as effective
? possible," he can best serve that
id by co-operation with the admintration.
In fact, what the Colonel

degree of the American

nlicies, are well-founded. This

olonel Roosevelt, Senator Chamerlain
and Cent, tor Stone will per-1
:ips create a ripple of discontent,!
at it will soon be forgotten and the
eople will look upon it with misivings
whether it be prompted by
olitical motives or what not.
Hut the wrangle, according to
Washington newspaper reporters
as surcharged the atmosphere wlth|

he Colonel has declared himself,
he Republicans, the Washington
eports say, are already pointing to
'olonel Roosevelt as "the natural

? not to the dislike of the Colonel,
hough it may be contrary to his
vowed purpose of stopping off at
he national capitol to "help speed
p the war."
The Spartanburg Journal is wor
