The disintegration of Russia, which has been so costly to the entente allied cause, and which will materially delay the successful termination of the war, should be a striking lesson to those Americans who are inclined to criticize and find fault with those whose duties and functions are to carry the war to a successful and victorious end. Great and large powers necessarily must be conferred upon the executive of the nation at this time. The delegation of such powers in ordinary times would not be dreamed of. But promptness and efficiency are imperative now and to obtain the highest efficiency, to strike with the power and might of the nation, we must delegate for the time unusual authority to the executive head. Americas course in this war is of tremendous importance to the peace and safety and freedom of the world. Never in our history were unselfish and patriotic unity ami devotion to duty so much needed. All true Americans will wbrk together for the countrys good, which means now all humanitys good.
