We cannot win victory in the conflict unless every atom of our energy is directed to one end. Mobilizing man power means more than putting armies in the field.

Whether or not he has acted wisely in connection with every detail of his great and complicated work, he has certainly done well on the whole, and has entitled himself to the hearty support of all who are connected with the government or administration of public affairs, as well as to the public sympathy.
