ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITIES ' '■ ' !' 7 rzy-',//'L z i ■ , f . f 1 ' / FM * t ¿7 *7’ Thv responsibilities of the ¡’resi dent of the Unit«-d States, even in lime of peace, are very great He must *ee that the machinery of the government of a great nation imkept well oiled and is operated smoothly and without friction. Not only must he keep th«- government of 4» stales moving along In harmony, with that of Alaska, tiie Philippines. Guam, the Hawaiian inland«. Port«» Rico and the Isthmus of Panama added as a sort of «de issue, but he must maintain amicalile relations with all the other nations of the world. A mind big enough to take in ths- vastm-wi of these responaHdli- ties must be remarkably compre hensive. But if we arid to the»- manifold duties that of conducting the greatest war of all history, the burden a*sum«*s a proportion so col- <swal that the ordinary human biped cannot comprehend it. President Lincoln had an enor mous burden to bear in the conduct of the Civil war. Up to that time the Civil war was. of alt the wars of the world, the greatest More men were employed tn the business of war than ever l»ei<>re. The long list of casualties, when a great batUe was fought, made all other wars seem but pigmies in com|«rison. Roughly estimated, nearly 4.<HM>.000 of men were devoted to the busi ness of war during the four years *61 to .66, la*ing the largest bodies of men engaged in actual war in the history of the world up to that lime Nor was President Lincoln's ad ministration free from criticism. Trusted officials failed in efficiency and accusatmos of graft and dishon esty were of almost daily occurrence Troops were all within our own land, yet there was frequent lack of sup plies. During the first two years of the war our troops were woefully deficient in proper arms as well President Wilson has a many times bigger job than had President Lincoln It it a bigger job because of the larger armv which will prob ably be sent afield. It ia a bigger fob because thia army is being sent tn Europe and must be supplied with food and munitions of war sent oyer from this side. It is a bigger job pecause ships must be built with which to send these troops and sup plies across the water. It ia a big ger job because railroad» in private hands proved inefficient for the work required and the goverment was forced tc> take over and operate the entire railroad business. Having tn assume this enormous responsibility it would be most re markable if there were not manv instances where the Wilson adminis tration could be criticised <>n seem ingly just grounds. It would be remarkable, indeed, if an official here and there did not prove ineffi cient or a grafter. Senator Cham berlain may have thought he had en down in the management of pre paring an army for war. was too severe and not true, for Secretary Baker’s accomplishment* have born great President Wilson p o ss e ss es a re markably comprehensive mind. Per haps no other man in the nation un derstands the war in all it* bearings as well as be. And. perhaps, no other man in the nation ia au well calculated to care for the interest* of world democracy a* Wood row Wilson, and it ia a surety that no other national ruler will have great er influence when the final peace terms are arranged than he. Anvway. Mr Wilson is president, and the people believe he will carry our nation through to the successful conclusion of the war in a manner satisfactory to the democracy of the world. And ahouM some <>f his cale inet or officials under him not meas ure up to the standard nom«- admin istration critics may set up. we must remember that the war has added tremendously to both thr war and navy department*, ami it would be a matter of surprise if some offi cial docs not prove derelict. President Wt!s«in, no doubt, will welcome criticism if given in the right spirit and for the purpose of making the «ervice better. But if the criticism is given in a partisan spirit and to discredit thr adminis tration. such crilirum is. probably, unwelcome. Upon the wh.»4c, the president is receiving a hearty and lovai support, irrrs|M-ctive of politi cal affiliation. THE KAISER AND NAPOLEON It is the evident intention <»f the Allies to treat th«* Kaisrr aa the al lies of 102 years ago treatrd Napo leon I.

He was then to permit Europe to reconstruct ll- m*lf. undisturbed by his ambitions. Napoleon broke this solemn en gagement when he eecaped from El im. returm-d to France, and prepar ed to renew his baneful influence on the peace of Europe.
