The outstanding feature of the oc- casion was the fact that compulsion wag not necessary in attaining the de- sired results. The compliance to the request was voluntary and whole- hearted, and that is what made It worthy of note. Fear of public opinion caused those ignored And who who might otherwise have the solicitation to “fall in line’. the few, comparative! eaking, were selfish enough to start on pleas- ure trips despite the appeal, received well-deserved denunciation from those along the roads traversed.

Those who have been guil dulging in this reference to the Pres- ident were warmly rebuked yesterday in the House by Representative Fer- of Oklahoma, who declared that of the republic have Continuing, PR Certain decry in ris, “only enemies made that accusation.” he sald: My answer to this charge is that it is a slander and an untruth and that the man who makes such a charge in war time is a man who hates his country more than he loves it, who retards it more than he helps it, and who worries more about politics and san advantage than he does about the success of the boys at the front. The Constitution lays down the doctrine that the President of the United States shall be the com- mander in chief of the army and navy. That commander in chief during war times should be, and of right is, tne commander in chief in all the term implies. His power must be unusual, far reaching and com- To have it otherwise is to subject the Republic to the only criticism that has ever been suc- cessfully waged against a re- publican form of government which is that a republic govern- ed by the consent of the governed during the hour of great stress cannot quickly semble itself for purposes of defence. The only way successfully to combat this charge is in time ¢ war quickly to give the Chief Bx- ecutive full power to act, and to act without conducting a debat- ing socie while the enemy of the country is at the gates. Can there be anything about this achievement that will make democrats ashamed of their de- mocracy or make republicans ashamed of their conntry? I pre- fer to believe that republicans and democrats everywhere will prefer to stand behind and an- courage the public officers and private cltizens who stand square- ly behind the President, the Congress of the country. Agitators, like the always be with us. had many Tories, Lincoln had many Copperheads and Wilson has a few pacifists and agitators. Wilson has less than the rest.
