The q u e s t i o n “ Who put
Teddy’s eye out?” is interesting,
but it can wait. A more vitally
absorbing question is, Who will
discover an antidote for the 11-
boat.
Early settlers in America found
that the only way to successfully
tight Indians was to adopt Indian
tactics—shoot from behind trees.
So it is in any war—you mnst
use any means to win.

Division employes subscribed for
more bonds and o f greater value
o f this issue than any other two
divisions combined.”
Isonzo, It is not an encouraging
sign for Americans who are
about to enter the trenches; and

which will make suie that this

‘ HONEST CRITICISM”
It is always a question in war
time just how far the citizen may
go in presenting his thoughts
when they are not flattering to
the manner in which the war is
being conducted. "H onest criti
cism” is usually said to be proper
but the trouble comes with an
attempt to define the meaning of
these two words. What is ” hon-
ert criticism” to one man is dis
loyal talk to another.
One serious part o f this mis
understanding is in the effect o f
the conflict o f viewB.
The man
who denounces an honest critic
and insists that the management
o f the war should be sustained
regardless o f mistakes, is givin g
aid to the enemy, and if success
ful in carrying his point, is indi
rectly responsible for the useless
sacrifice o f our soldiers. It is
not far-fetched to say that a
condemnation o f all criticism and
thus intimidating men who have
useful suggestions, is about the
worst kind o f disloyalty. That
kind o f talk was the cause o f
many o f the British errors and
losses in the first years o f the
war. ¡It comes from the man
who "means w ell” and who
thinks he is the only real patriot,
when in fact he is an aid and
com fort to the enemy he despises.
