Th n-wgenry.
Is but one governmental
one national Instrument
thru and by which thr
1HTT United Stales can wage
NH WAY war for the next two
and a half -years, and
that Is the administration which was
Ythtred in power at the tast national
election.
Any weakening of the Influence
and ii restige of -the administration is
a weakening of the political power
and influence of this nation vMth
other nations a weakening of our
war power.
Our soldiers will fight as bravely
and efficiently, our sailors brave the
dangers of the submarined seas with
the name courage and success. But
the political and moral strength of
the nation's government, its power to
bring ptaKe won by our fighting men,
will be weakened by the defeat of
the par'y of the administration.
As Roosevelt said in 1898, other
nations will look at our votes this
year from only one viewpoint. They
will draw no fine distinctions. To
Europe the election of a Republican
congress. -this year would mean a di
vided nation, a refusal to endorse
and stand by the principles President
Wilson has proclaimed as the princi
ples of our nation and the alms and
support of our country.
The United States, by virtue of its
manifested greatness and power, oc
cupies the com
SUPPORT manding place in the
THK world today. Never
PRMKIOKNT before was H so re
spected and admired
for Its power and might and never
before has it so commanded the con
fidence and hope of the world by rea
son of its stand for freedom and Jus
tice and right.
President Wilson has a command
ing, political and moral influence in
the world of those nations wllh
which we are al war, und even among
their peoples there are millions who
look to htm for deliverance from war
and famine and from oppression and
lmispovernmen,t.
It can have no other effect than to
btirt and lessen President Wilson's
ttrOttlfn and influence with the
foreign world for his party to meet
defeat this fall. It cannot but Weak
n his power for good, for victory
and peace, should his party be ve-1 said1
pudiS'Ted at the polls hy the Anieri
van people.
How greatly can Democratic defeat
ka used by his enemies, who are th
enemies of the United States nad the
enemies of our soldiers In Vrance,
nd the enemies of peace and ffM
inm everywhere, to discount his abil
ity to accomplish that which all free
iweople wish accomplished. How
powerfully can his party's d feat be
used to disparage and -eiiUlo nis
wn standing and influence in his
own nation, and how convincing can
they make It appear to their owu
people and others that the people of
th- I'nited States do not approve of,
Ow not stand for. and .'ll not carry
out those great principles which
"we and our allies tight, which he has
'made the passion and hope of I'.ol
gium and France and Servia and the
"war-worn peoples of all Kurope
It Ratten not how we at home
may understand that the nation
rtands by the president regardless of
the recall of the congressional alta -lion.
Our politics this year Is not a
natiomil affair, but international.
"World-wide, of tremendous interest
to all nations, and of supreme and
Hal importance to our allies, to Kus
ia and the oppressed na:;onalties of
Austria, to the people of all Europe.
in the true analysis there is but
one way fully to cupport our country
nd our soldiers at this time, and
that if by full and unreserved sup
tport of the president. The election
oT a Republican congress would be
construed by I large portion of the
World, and particularly by those over
Whom the president's influence Is
vurst Important, as repudiation of

"K Is nted In the casualty list

Mourning for the dead and sorrow

The army that is now fighting to
make the world safe for democracy
us the president has said, is itself the
most democratic force that has ever
been put Into a field of action. The
men in the ranks are of every social

we are all now neighbors and

dally lists of the killed, wounded and
missing cause Long since the boys
from home have made their parents
and friends acquainted with one an
other, thru their letters. Now they
are drawn together by a common
grief, making for that unity that is
the foundation of the American citi

AND WILSON WON
1 he next few weeks will i,
Between Hlndenburi and
Lloyd George, the
minister, in a speech
K'dinburgh, May 24.
In view of the outcome of the sec
ond battle of he Mame. there can be
no doubt that Wilson won the race.
The All-Highest may issue procla
mations to his depressed and dis
heartened troops, telling them that
"the American armies and numerical
superiority do not frighten us," and
that "the desperate efforts of the en
emy will, as hitherto, be foiled by
your bravery," but, nevertheless ;;nd
notwithstanding. Wilson won. and
Garmaay Is beginning to realize that
Wilson won. .New York World.
rhange It has wrought In the feeling
and attitude toward tlermnny of
Americans of German birth or blood.
Says the Staats-Zeltung :
"For a long time German-Amerl-
enns were unable to see the peril, and
ttide was their awakening. Their
sense of duty showed them the right
course to pursue. They point with
pride to their sons and grandsons
fighting for them under the Start
spangled Banner. And they will
fight on until every danger is remov
ed and the world releived of a bur
den which lies upon It like an in
cubus, for It Is only thru the over
throw of the present (ierman govern
ment that the repetition of a similar
world catastrophe can be prevented."
It has been, indeed, a rude awak
ening. Americans of the parent
stock, while striving with patience
and continually to convince their
countrymen of German lineage that
Germany provoked the war. Intend
ed to bring on the war. that her guilt
was pa..t ull condoning, have never
thtless understood how hard was the
position of those in other lands who
still look upon Germany as their
fatherland. Their sympathies, even
if wrongly directed, were natural. All
that Is past. There could bo no
sterner condemnation of the imperial
malefactors than that which the
Staats-Zeltung, a German-language
newspaper, and read by German-
Americiins. denounces against them.
STAND BY

Representative Scott Ferris, chair
man of the Democratic national con
gressional committee, speaking at
the Iowa Democratic state conventipn
said:
There is but one issue before the
Nation this day. That is t lift aloft
the banner of democracy and main
tain the freedom of mankind and to
stamp out once and for all Herman
militarism and German autocracy.
There may he other ways to achieve
this, but I know of only thi one.
That Is to stand by the regularly con-
stituted omcen of the government,
stand by them to the end!
'Stand by the president' should
and will be the shibboleth of this
campaign. Stand by the flag, stand
by the country, stand by the presi
dent, for these, during war times, are
synonyms.
During the Olvll War President
Lincoln and his very political advis
er said 'Stand by the president, stand
by the flag, and stand by the country .
The Nation obeyed the summons.
During the Spanish-American war,
President McKinley, Theodore Roose
velt and every political adviser said
'Stand by the president,' and the
country obeyed the summons.
Today, In a war that Ik more far
reaching than all the rest, when the
Nation In which we live is trembling
from turret to foundation stone there
Is hut one appeal that should be
made und heeded by every citizen of
the land, of whatever creed 'Stand
hy the flag, stand by the country,
stand by the president.'

the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung, in an
