Show THE CO WARDL Y CONGRESS w EMBERS of Congress have sat in the national chimney corner, fiddling, 111 for two long years. They have passed, some months ago, a ridiculous army bill which in practice has proved very nearly worthless as a measure of national defense. They continue up to the present moment to neglect the great, tho Imperative duty of dealing with universal military training bills which have been prepared for their consideration. fy They are trying meanwhile to strain through the legislative sieve tho thinnest possible thimbleful of "armed neutrality" that they can manage to devise. They nearly swoon with horror at the thought of doing more than administer a nautical slap on the wrist to Germany If that militant power declines to quit destroying American ships and taking American lives. Their lackadaisical attitude is full of peril to the nation. Chicago Daily News.
