CONGRESSIONAL OPINION
One year of the participation by the
United States in the great war has
brought about wonderful changes in
aU departments of the government.
Some of the congressional leaders
have been Interviewed by the United
Press on what the nation is doing,
and their statements are given below:
Chairman Dent of the house military
affairs committee:
"The American people may rest as
nured that the army achievements
bave surpassed the expectations a
year ago of the most optimistic of
ficials in Washington. I look on the
selective service system as one of the
great army achievements of the year."
Chairman Flood of the house foreign
affairs committee:
"After one year of war President
Wilson stands out as the greatest
spokesman of democracy in the world.
1 believe his international messages
in years to come will be regarded as
«poeh-making events in the world
Tiistory.
"Through his open air diplomacy
policy the United States has clearly
explained its unselfish war aims and
has swung neutral opinion to the side
of the allies. That, I believe, is one
of the great achievements of the first
year of the war.”
Chairman Padgett of the house
naval affairs committee:
"The navy's record for the first year
of the war as shown by the sub-com
mittee appointed to investigate it is
one of the most remarkable achieve
ments of the war.
“In no way was the navy found '
wanting. Although the personnel was
increased six times, every man who
enlisted was most carefully taken care
of, our destroyer force in a year will 1
be the largest in the world, and the
sea fighters are well equipped with 1
all kinds of supplies. All is well with
the fleet as Admiral Mayo said.”
Claude Kitchin, Democratic floor
leader:
"In my judgment the United States
has done more in the first year of the
war, than any nation ever achieved
in so short a spacerof time. To congress
is due some credit, for without the
co-operation and support given the
President he and his advisors could
have accomplished little. Undoubtedly
some mistakes have been made, but,
taking the broad view, the errors are
insignificant and the achievements
great.”
Senator Lewis, Illinois, Democratic
whip: •
"America can look back on the first
year of the war with a consciousness
of some lessons well learned, and she
can look ahead with the fullest con
fidence that those lessons will be ap
plied with the greatest vigor and de
votion. May she see victory befor<
the second year has closed!”
Senator Swanson, Virginia, chair
man naval affairs committee:
“The navy has made good use o
its time the first year of the war
While our destroyers have made theii
presence felt by the undersea pirate'
abroad, the whole navy has been mov
ing forward with rapid strides. Oui
building program has made magnifi
cent progress, our quotas are filled
The navy is ready for whatever ie
ahead.”
Senator Curtis, Kansas, Republicar
whip:
“The people of the United State*
havemilowed with patriotism and self
sacrifice where the call of the nation
led. The men who have been sum
moned for military service have pre
pared themselves well. They hav«
acquitted themselves in France, in
the engagements thus far, in a man
ner that does us proud Mistake*
have been made, but Investigation and
disclosure of them has promptly beer
followed by correction. The natlor
Is united and will go through witt
this war to a finish.”

HER PRAYER.
By Virginia Frazer Boyle
We’ve fallen back, oh! Christ, along
the way
That faith has led us for a thousand
years;
The old Hebraic tables blind our eyes
And death and terror scorch our fall
ing tear„.
Thon wilt forgive us, Christ, if we for
get—
Forsake Thee in this chaos for a while.
And shout before the old Hebraic
God
Do battle for the grim Jehovah’s
smile.
The times are ill accorded With Thy
Word.
When hell has left the molten gates
ajar;
And we are only women in the breach.
With all our little sons gone out to
war.
Tehovah! give us men! Make men of
these—
Flesh of our flesh (the man child that
you sent).
We held them, clasped them, would
not let them go.
Until we saw the laws of nations rent.
We only know them, God, as comely
lads.
Bound up with all our joy and care
and pain;
But Thou wilt steel their sinews with
Thy might.
Ind make them fit, and send them
back again.
rehovali! day and night we cry to
Thee,
Ve’re only women on the ramparts
hurled;
Jive back our sons! but not until the
light
Df Liberty is shot around the world!

CHAS. A. SULZER
Candidate for Re-election
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter tne primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congress
from Alaska, 1 feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of the
territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska's
representative to congress. During the most of this time the United Statee
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning >*>»
great war Every member of congress in considering legislation for the na
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo
Hle of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
try.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all/and
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion. 7
“Making changes in the homestead laws hy abolishing the eighty Vod
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in Isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.,
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in^Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with their vegetables
are canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”
