Fc declared the action of Presiden: Wilson in calling for democratic support in congress not only had divided the country heretofore united, but had tended to make the war a party war. No policy had been announced, Mr. Lodge. asserted, for which democratic support was asked. He said it was a rank injustice that republicans worthy to gc into the trenches, worthy to subscribe to the major part of Liberty loans, good enough to give to all charity and war causes, shouid be characrerized by the president as unfit to take part in the government. Of the fourteen articles for peace suggested by President Wilson, Sena- tor Lodge expressed himself in favor of the seventh, eighth, ninth, eleventh and thirteenth.
