WILSON SEEN IN TRUE LIGAT. Public opinion on President Wil- an the son's appeal for support has had opportunity to crystallize over week-end and already there are indi- cations that the Boreal tempest cre- ated by his political opponents is be- ginning to abate In all fairness, it must be said that many sincere supporters of the Pres- ident were pained to learn that he had been forced to assume an active role in sordid politics. Because his masterly handling of domestic and international affairs, the Presi- dent occupies a more exalted posi- tion in the public mind than is usual- man even in his sta- d: ly accorded to a tlon. It was, therefore, ppoint- ing to many that he should re- veal what they, on first judgment, believed to be an Achillean heel. An analysis of the situation proves that of no President Wilson was guilty greater sin than self defense. 1In- there I'uitl‘ prevents them from believing Of course rad- deed are millions whose that he sinned at all. jcal members of the opposition de- nounce his act, but their attitude may be discounted, as we may dis- count the expressions of the equally radical members of his own party. President Wilson, so his republican admoni- Tt eritics say, violated his own tion that ‘“politics is adjourned’. should be recalled that he made this remark during the consideration of the war revenue bill and that he in- tended it to cover the entire field of politics during the war is inconceiv- able. The phrase means nothing, but was seized by his critics, as so many of his phrases have been seized, and turned back on him for the purpose pf confounding the author by his own words. But as Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts and former President Theodore Roosevelt had been guilty of flagrantly playing politics, it is only fair to assume that the President, seeing the danger that loomed ahead because of their abusc, was forced to resort to a public ap- peal for support. Incidentally it is amusing to note the manner in whici former President Roosevelt is so warmly welcomed back into ihe party which Politics he once smashed to a pulp makes strange bed fellows, but never has there been an instance in American politics when a man like Roosevelt, who had once been ac- oursed, had become so blessed The whole affair resolves itself into a mental weighing of President Wil- son's purpose in publishing his ap- peal. He has never before been ac- cused of bad faith His record is {mmaculate. He adhered strictly to & discussion of the effect the Novem- ber 5th elections will have in foreign capitals. There is only one way the American proval or repudiation of an adminis- people can show their ap- tration, and that is by their voice at the polls. If the voters return to Congress a majority of the same polit- leal faith as the President it must be taken as a demonstration of approval. 1f, on the other hand, the voters send to Congress a majority of the oppo- gition party their act must be con- 1 of s i lic of | | shell NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONkDAY, OCIUDL.. = of his policies. That would have been the case in 1898 when the Republi- cans appealed to the country to re- turn a Republican majority to P in 1918 onstrate approval of sident Mc- Kinley. It is the case when citizens of countries with which we are associated in the war will learn through their only channel whether America is behind her President. It is regrettable that Fresident Wilson found it necessary to issue such an appeal. But it was necessary to inform the American people where their duty lay. GERMANY OBJECTIONABLE A NEIGHBOR.

Aus- tralia has first hand evidence that the Hun is objectionable as a neigh- bor and it is said that the public on the island-continent is the greatly re- lieved by declaration of British the African colonies cannot safely be re- Foreign Secretary Balfour that turned to their former owner. The situation is-preserted in a nut- by Crawford Vaughan, former Premier of South Australia who says: The Pacific could no longer be pacific if Germany got a fcothold on any of its islands. The Allies’ only ferms to Germany should be complete surrender. We have every reason, from the stand- point of the safety of our chil- dren, to ask from the military power of Germany the same harsh terms which Blsmarck ex- acted from France in 1870, “OVER THERE". Peasants in evacuated districts of France are devoting little attention to the peace discussion. Their minds are concentrated on a more pressing and immediate subject, their exist- ence this winter. During their octu- pation of French territory, the Ger- mans stole everything of value. When they retreated they destroyed what- ever they could not carry with them and devastated the the fields from which inhabitants had been wont to wring a living. As a result famine and desolation face the unfortunates whom Fate decreed to live under th mastery of the gray horde since it first rushed across the border bent on conquering the world. One of the traits of French that he peasant character is his bhome and plot of land no matter what refuses to leave little threatens and consequently thousands were engulfed in the enemy flood. Heroic cfforts are being made by the American Committee of Devastat- ed Krance to provide for the impov- erished inhabitants. ir M. Dike, the representative of the committee in France, has painted an illuminat- ing picture of the obstacles the work- ers must overcome. Speaking of the “If noth- this Aisne district, she writes: ir whatsoever is done in dis- trict this winter, T see the most ter- rifying misery, . because there is hardly a house with four walls intact * * * and for miles one can see nothing but ruins—and by ruins I mean heaps of stones: in one or two of the larger cities it is almost im- possible to see the traces of streetls owing to the debris which has not been cleared away.” When we are sitting around this the price of coal it our comfortable firesides winter grumbling at and other so-called necessitie might be well to gaze into the dancing flames and try to visualize the condi- tion which these unfortunate mor- like the in tals—men and women, rest of us—find themselves.
