FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1918 Unnecessary Restriction The President is right in opposing any legislation which is designed to limit the power of the administration to call upon men for an army of any size which circlmstances shall show to be necessary and possible. Every effort of the government, as of the of. 'the must now be bent to hastening the the individuals nation, towards maximum the movement efficiency and greatest war 4 strength of which we are capable. We should hampered by limitations set by Con- not have this efficiency gress, either in the number of men who may be drafted into the service or of material supplies which may be provided. In war the supreme necessity is a governmental head in whom confi- dence can be placed, both as to his ability and his endeavor. That con- fidence the American people have shown in President Wilson and he has so far justified it. It is unfair to him, it is unsafe to the country, it is contrary to the best interests of the men who are in the service as well as of those who are serving behind the lines in industry at home, to fence him about with restrictions and regulations which only serve to increase his difficulties and to de- crease his efficiency. If we can trust President Wilson in the conduct of the war, we should trust him fully, possible the removing whereever hampering laws and formalities which have been devised to put a check upon a Congress whose entire disinterestedness could not be taken for granted and put into his hands the reins of government with as little as possible of formalities and limita- tions. If President Wilson is cap- able of carrying the nation through the troublous times ahead he de- serves to have the confidence of the people. If he is not he will demon- strate it more quickly and more ef- direct the of the government, fectively if allowed to activities and the sooner the country finds any de- fficiency out the better will it be for us and our Allies. It is unseemly, and impolitic to try to tie the hands of the man whose duty and privilege it is to lead us through the untried waters of modern warfare. Congress can best serve the people by with- drawing as much as possible into the background and ceasing to clog the wheels chinery so long as there is evidence of governmental ma- of its successful manipulation by the administration. Loss of Weight an Evidence of Patriotism "Toss of weight, pretty general just now as a result of the rations, may be retarded in three ways," says the London Chronicle. In America we think that we are living under a war time regime of rationing when we observe a wheat- less day and, until recently, a meat- less day once a week. Few people here have observed any loss in weight as a result of their rationing, however, for we are still the plump, that well-fed appearing people we the our H | were before war and our ob- | ligations to soldiers and our 19 . | Allies { taking | put upon us the necessity of thought of what we ate, how much and when. As the war goes on it will become a rather sad commentary upon one's patriotism to display any degree of rotundity of figure and the measure of patriotism will be gauged {by one's loss of weight.
