About 175 such men are established In this coun try. Mr. Persons assorts that Red Cross work will only Increase with the declaration of peace, for many of the men will be kept In ser vice for some time after the close of the war, and the longer they are away the greater need of civ ilian relief among their families.

REPUBLICAN LEADER REPLIES (Continued from Page One) country knows it. You thatt The know it. A more ungracious, more unjust, more wanton, more mendacious ac cusation was never made by the most reckless stump orator, much less by a x-resiaenc or tne United States for partisan purposes. It is an insult, not only to every loyal Republican in con gress Dut to every loyal Rcnublican in the land. . It fully merits the re sentment which rightfully nnd surely will find expression at the polls. Mr. Wilson trrudginidv odm ts the Republicans have been 'pro-war.' Then why does he demand their defeat? Be cause they are still pro-war ? Hardly that No. It is because they are for peace, though, not without victory; be cause they do not believe lastinc neace can be obtained through negotiations; because they consider that 'U.

The Democratic consrress does not Mr. Wilson does not. There ii the issue clear as the noonday sun. The country will decide. . ' Mr. Wilson wants only rubber stamps, his rubber stamps in congress. He says no. No one knows it better than Democratic congressmen. He culls for the defeat of pro-war Repub licans and the election of anti-war no longer satisfied to be one branch of Democrats. He, as the executive, is the government, as provided by the constitution. Republican congressmen must be defeated and Democratic con gressmen must, as they would, yield everything. That is evidently his idea the idea of an autocrat calling him self the servant but bidding for the mastery of this great free people. ''Republicans in congress have seemed to him good enough when they assented, as they did assent with high est patriotism and sometimes against their best judgment, to his proposals. Republicans at home have seemed to him good enough to send fully a mil lion of their sons into battle,' to fur nish at least half of the army and far more than half of the money for win ning of the war.
