PATRIOTIC CRITICISM
_ I
If America has come to such a pass,
fiat she can not stand had news or
c riticism :-t home; if her determina
tion in this war is so feeble that a
' lunch" will lead her to stop war
preparations and discontinue subscrip
tions to the Red Cross, then she ’.ad
1 ttcr make a shameful peace with
Germany and quit.
This is not our estimate of the
.American spirit. It developed no y<T
low streak during the bitter days of
Valley Korge; if survived four years
<1 had new; beginning with the hat-;
tie of Bull Run. And we have an
idea that fie- American spirit i;ni

Y*t in cer tain quarters the impr --
ion prevails and is carefully fos

possibility of an end of the war. is

share of the exorbitant burden.
We understand (hat certain depart
ments of the government have aban
doned the policy of awarding con
tracts on the usual cost plus basis,
and have adopted a new form of con
tract, providing that if the production
exceeds the estimated cost the profit
remains the same; hut if the manu
facturer succeeds in decreasing the
cost, he shall receive in addition to
the estimated profit an amount equal
(o 26 per cent of all savings effected
on the contract. This policy ought to
work, in that It will pay the contractor
to watch the waste and effect every
economy possible.

Its height and it was as much as a
white man’s life was worth to show
his face inland he took a couple of de
stroyers up the Yang Ts. i-lh i and
hoarded and captured four Chinese
torpedo boats. Then he landed with
about a dozen men, seized a Chinese
fort which threatened trouble and
blew the place up and withdrew Ills
little party without a single casualty.

war he specialized as a submarine and
torpedo officer, and for Ills daring and
