SOCIALISTS READY FOR FIGHT.

Special Gable Dsspdteh 10 TEE Sun.
LONDON, Oct. lS.-The declaration Of war
upon Socialists made in Scotland last week
bv Official Liberals has been followed by
the frank acceptance OF the challenge by
the former. There is considerable regret
among the Liberals that Secretary Of War
HaIdane and the Liberal whips should have
acted as they did. There are Liberals who
fear the appearance Of a rift In b party
and would be glad to retain Laborites OF all
shades OF opinion within the Liberal party.
thinking no doubt that the party would be
able to restrain the wilder longings OF the
avowed Socialists and bring their dreams
within the range Of practical parliamentary
action.
The Conservatives. who rejoice at any
thing that may prove embarrassing to the
Government, are endeavoring to ~accentuate
the Quarrel as much a. possible. They
point out that socialism must DO faced and
fought because il is insidiously aggressive
and perilously strong.
There is a third body, including Conserva-
tiyes and Liberals, whose opinion is voiced
by the Spectator, which to-day acknowledges
that to imagine that liberalism and socialism
can ever be two names for the same thing
il q dangerous dclusion, but goe on to
DENY that socialism is a real DANCE in
England, as the British w~orkingmen, it
saws, are too we'll informed on the subject.
Plain talking and open discussion will, 1t
is urged, be sufficient to explode political
f~allacies such as those put forth by certain
labor leaders.
Meanwhile the Socialists themselves are
proceeding with an active campaign. the
first object Of which is to capture the trade
unions. At a great Socialist demonstra-
ton in Helboru town hall last night speeches
advocating socialism against the world
were made by several speakers.

It is believed the Duke OF Connaught

King favored the chance Of Prince Arthur
succeeding to the throne. which might st
one time have been considered a fair posi-
biIity, but the growing nursery Of the Prince
OF Wales has now made IL a remote chance
and has removed the necessity Of Prince

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON, Oct. ia correspondent 70
Gently called the attention Of Lord Kinnaird,
president Of the National Council Of the
Young Mems Christian Association, to a
report Of the speech OF Bishop Williams Of
Michigan before the members Of the Ameri-
can branch, in which the Bishop is alleged
to have declared that the Bible is not the
word Of God and that mischief has been
done in asserting that it is such. In reply
Lord Kinnaird said; Il I'm much panied
by your communication and will make in
auiries into the matter"
The correspondent has suggested that in
the event Of it being proved that Bishop
williams had been correctly reported the
Y. NJ. C. A. should officially express its in
diRnation that any prelate should make
the statements attributed to him and warn
members against the acceptance Of such
anti Christian views.
