U.S. PRESIDENCY.
VIEWS ABOUT THE CANDIDATES.
Mr. David Lawrence, who recently returned to America from France, writes in the Vex York Evening Post:
Anywhere that Americans gather, whether it is in this coun- try or in France, they talk politics. Just now they are talk- ing Presidential polities. And Americans in the Expeditionary Force seem to be as eager to pick the next President of the United States as the Americans who gather at the Fifth Avenue club
Ge the corner store.
To the person who listens to
the gossip in France and then
returns to America and listens to the gossip here, nothing is more striking than the differences in viewpoint. Over there they talk of a soldier candidate. It is either Gen. Pershing or Gen. Leonard Wood. Over here sol dier candidates are said to have
less chance, the talk is of Me- Adoo or Gov. Cox, or Senator Harding, or Senator Johnson, or William Howard Taft.
Comparatively few of the men who have been in France have returned and perhaps many of them will assimilate the political opinion of those of more mature age who remained in America, but the fact is the American troops abroad, large numbers of them, talk of their political power in practically being able to select the next President of the United State First of all, there is the expectation of a big organisation like the G. "A. R: to be known as the World's War
or the W. W. V. In it would be not merely the men who went to France to fight but the personnel of the auxiliary organisations like the Red Cross, the YMCA. the Y.W.CA. and the K. of C. and so on, women as well as men.
Also there would
Veterans
be included all the persons who had a part in the war while in the United States. Naturally the organisation itself would not be instituted for political purposes any more than was the G. A. R.. but to assert the viewpoint of those who made sacrifices for their country and believe they can best give expression to their views through

controversy, with the friends of the man who didn't get scross arguing that things might have: been more efficiently handled if he had been given his opportunity! in France.
