«E DISSECTS
1UT1GS OF
GUMSHOE BIEL
(From the answer of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts to the speech of sen
ator Stone.)
. “Mr. President, nothing during this
war has been so profuondly gratifying
to me as the fact that since last April
there have been no political lines
drawn in the congress of Lie United
States. There have beet, until today
no political speeches which I have
heard. There has been no political
motive. Both branches have labored
together with the common desire to
prosecute the war to quickest conclus
ion.
I
“Mr. President, if there has been
partisanship anywhere since the war
began it has not been in the con
gress of the United States. That has
been pretty obvious to everybody, to
the most casual looker-on elsewhere.1
While we were organizing all the In-j
dustries and all the resources of the
United States, as we needed to do in
order to win this war, it has seemed i
to me at times as if it might be well!
to organize and use all the ability of
the country. The parties of this coun
try are pretty evenly divided, and to
confine one party to the right to give
their lives, their sons, their brothers,
their hsubands to the armies and!
navies seems to me not altogether
best. I think it would have been bet
ter if they had been more largely call
ed. and that we needed all that ability
In the general service of the United
| States.
“I have found no fault, however,
I with the attitude. The only fault T
have ever found is that the adminis-1
tration failed to take the best from its
own party. There has been a great
admiration evidenced for what have
been called the dwellers in the twi
light zone; a great desire to appoint
men, few in number, who have wan
dered from one party to another until
some irreverent people have referred
to them as the mavericks of politics
They have been taken wherever poss
ible and without regard, so far as one i
can see, to anything except their some !
what varied political record, and put
in places of great importance. I have
observed also that those wanderers,
generally permit themselves to bej
branded by some one who is able to
admit them to green pastures and to
comfortable stalls.
“The fault I find is in not calling
out the best ability in the Democratic
oartv. if it must ho nnnfinoH to hull'
the country. There are too many men!
exerting great powers at this moment, |
vested with great authority, who seem j
to the observer to have nothing to j
commend them except their insignifi
cance, which makes them solely de-j
pendent on the executive pleasure. J
My criticism has never run on party j
lines, and does not now.
“As to the investigation being car !
ried on by the committee on military
affairs, in my humble opinion no great
er service has ever been rendered to
the country by any committee of con
gress than that committee has ren-,
dered in the last six weeks. Investi
gations censured! Is this congress to
stand by in silence while blunders and
delays and needless losses go pouring
past and to he accused of treason if
it tries to make conditions better?
“When you speak of the effect of
these investigations, what do you
think was the effect on our allies and
our enemies alike when this govern
ment, not yet fully immersed in war,
deliberately closed down for five days
all the industries of the country? What
impression do you think will be giv
en by that act? What will be the im
pression upon the German mind when
they read of that order of the fuel
administration?
"The senator has attacked Colonel
Roosevelt for criticising the Presi
dent. He supported the President, at
least, in trying to have the merchant
men armed and in the declaration of
war. He is supporting the war in
every way he can. His four sons are
all In the war. Three are on the Flan
ders front at this moment. A disloy
al man does not make such sacrifices
as that.
“He never has had any secrets from
the American people. They are cap
able of judging him, and they will
judge him. He offered himself for
service in the war. He was anxious to
go into the army in any capacity, and
he was refused.
“Mr. President, it may be difficult
for the senator from Missouri to un
derstand, but it is quite true that there
are men all over this country-—and
Colonel Roosevelt is one of them—
whose one dominant idea is to win
this war, who are ready to make every
sacrifice to do it, who are making
every sacrifice in their power to do
it. who forget their party in their ef
fort to reach the great victory, who
forget everything but their great,
mastering purpose. But there is one
thing those men will not do—they will
not sit silent and accept mistakes and
delays which they think may cause us
to lose the war.
"Ah, Mr. President, the senator un
dertakes to put criticism and disloy
alty on the same basis. We all owe
to the President of the United States,
who is charged with these terrible
responsibilities, all the support we can
give liirn, and we have given it ever
since the second of April. But our
highest allegiance is not to the Presi
dents or governments. Our highest
allegiance is to the country and the
cause; and if we see things going
wrong we shall call the attention of
the country to them if we can.
"We shall vote the President all
powers, all money, as we have In the
past; but if the money is wasted and
the war delayed, if the powers are in
effective, we should all be traitors, in
deed, if we sat silent and allowed the
country to drift to disaster, because,
we were afraid that somebody filled
with the exuberant patriotism of re
cently acquired office would call us
treasonable.”—Leslies’ Weekly.

SERBIA’S MARTYRDOM
PICTURED BY DEPUTY
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9—Not so long
ago, in the Vienna parliament, Dr.
Otokar Ribar, a Slovene deputy, pro
testing against the systematic exter
mination of the Serbian population,
said:
"Go to the Balkans and you shall see
how the former flourishing towns and
villages are now but smoldering ruins.
Not military necessity, but the deliber
ate will of the authorities has de
vasted our lands in such manner as
has not been witnessed in Europe
since Kossovo. Our unhappy people
has been scattered to the winds; from
whole districts the military authori
ties have carried off women and old
men and children just as did the As
syrians and Babylonians the con
quered peoples of ancient times. From
the vicinity of Nish alone the enemy
have carried away 30,000 persons to
the deserts of Asia Minor. It is a war
of extermination of the Jugoslavs. The
allies speak about a restoration of Ser
bia and the unification of the Serbian
race. Serbia they may save, but not
the Serbs and Jugoslavs, for there will |
not be one there at all to rejoice in the j
blessing of peace.”
Now, in the Hungarian parliament in
Budapest similar protest has been
raised by the Socialist deputy Mr. Zol
t.an Vermes, who, referring to the bar
barity of the enemy and their crimes
against the unfortunate population of
Serbia, said:
“As commandant of a detachment,
my duties called me to the mining vill
age of Maidanpek, in occupied Serbia,
from which neighborhood is obtained
the pyrites necessary for the manufac
ture of munitions. The monarchy
needs some 120,000 tons of pyrites, of
which quantity this mine alone pro
duces 40,000 tons; its regular working,
therefore, is of capital importance to
the monarchy. There are working in
the mine 1,080 laborers, invalided sol
diers, and interned persons from the
Serbian civilian population. But the
mine is adjacent to the Bulgarian ad
ministrative territory, where the en
emy pursues with the cruelest sever
ity bands of insurgent Serbs, whose
relatives they systematically put to
death; thus at Maidanpek executions
are the order of the day. Nobody
troubles to bury the dead of those who
thus meet their fate; one after an
other whole villages are cleared of the
friends and relatives of these unhappy
people; the Bulgarians round up the
people and send them off, some to the
Dobrudja, others to Asia Minor. In
this way farms are left masterless and
cattle to stray over the country and
even the richest villages fall into a
state of utter wretchedness, so that
the workmen in the mine are unable
with any certainty to procure even
the barest necessaries of life. Repre
sentations had been made without re
sult to the Bulgarian government. It
appears, indeed, that the matter is not
urgent In Bulgarian eyes Therefore
the moral obligation rests with the
Hungarian government of taking the
matter into its own hands and of try
ing to save the lives of at least a pro
portion of these poor people. But
this is only a special instance; there
Is a crying need on every hand for a
more humane administration of these
lands. Kor nearly four years now chil
dren have gone without any schooling,
sick people have been allowed to die
without any medical assistance or alle
viations of any kind, loathsome dis
eases have spread amongst the peo
ple, and yet there is not the slightest
attempt at any betterment of condi
tions on the part of the administra
tion.”
These speeches ma ytherefore be
taken as the best proof of the deliber
ate and criminal extermination of Ser
bian people. It can be imagined what
a state of affairs prevails in Serbia
when persons in high places among
the central powers are compelled to
protest against the cruelty of this re
gime,
