V; Kcsponsibililv ' for Present Situa tion at Washington Declared to Rest on Administration. ! "Pacifists who. under such slogans as 'He kept us out of war." led the ration unprepared into war," were denounced by Major William S. Gil bert, chaplain for Oregon's fighting men overseas and in the Philippines, in a stirring address delivered before the Roosevelt Republican club at the Benson yesterday. The dining hall was crowded. His remarks were greeted with applause. Major Gilbert declared that respon sibility for the present chaotic situa tion at Washignton and the "ominous situation" of the nation rests on the present administration. Without mentioning names, he re called the atmsophcre of pacifism .that permeated Washington, even when the nation was on the brink of war. "When we went into the war." said the fighting parson, "the fact that we were to be led by pacifists had us badly feared. But we set out and accomplished what the soul of the nation demanded should be done. "Germany never would have pro voked the war had she known that S America would fight. If we had been vprepared and could have said 'Pink Vie Lusitania and it means war.' the IJusitania would never have been tor pedoed. "Let us not rorget the lessons of that war. Our country does not want militarism, but heaven save us from the pacifists. Give us preparedness; some form of universal service. This would engender a wholesome respect for law among the lawless element . now attempting to tear down our gov ernment. The lawless. I might add, are not and have not been soldiers." Chaplain Gilbert declared that ex service men should have recognition and compensation for their sacri fices. "To the credit of our fighting men. he said, "they returned to their homes and without complaint sought positions, many in vain. And in ex change for their sacrifices nothing has been done no more than was done for the boys who enlisted for one'war in the Philippines and fought two." CHEHALIS, Wash., March 6. (Spe cial.)
