A press cab1egram announces the death of August Rebel, foremost So- ciaEst of Germany. He had been i'll for some time, but his recovery was hoped for. His death was shock, but to the millions of Socialists ill every civilized land on the face of the earth Bebel was a pioneer i'll the great international Socialist movement. When he died Germany led in the race of the natious for Socialism with vote of 4, 500, 900, no Socialist members of the Reichstag, the Ger nlau parliament.
 Rebel was born iii 184O near Colo ogne. He was trained as a turner and passed through the usual grades of apTenticeship and journey1nan ship After his Wanderjahre, spent in south Germany he established himself ill 1860 at Leipsie. His first public activity was as all upholder of the Schubtze- Delitzech's $ cooperative movement, to which Lassalle also at first adhered, and he became prominent in political and educational work among working meli. He threw all his inflneuce agai- nst Lassalle and the Universal associ- ation when the latter was founded.
 Prior to 1866 Rebel had no sympathy whatever with Socialism In fact, he was all avowed anti-Socialist. But he got to talking with Liebknecht and from that time his views rapidly chan ged. It was plain to be seen that Soc falis1n had gained powerful champion when Rebel joined its ranks He lacked culture; he was unTefined but what he lacked i'll these things he made I'D in energy and will Of these he was ab-
 
 urdantly supplied. He was coarsely nodded aud crude i'll many ways But ne had the necessary initiative and fo- rec to do things.
 Rebel set about his work by joining tie international, at that time a grow ing and important body of workers.
 He became influential enough to take q prominent part i'll bringing to- setI1er ,ile followers of Marx and Lass ale, thus helping to make the Social Democratic party. And 1t is quite dou-- btfU1 that without Bebel's initiative and energy the party would have been foriaeci, at least, rot at that time.
 DeJei fought relentlessly the reaction iry tendencies iu the International. At tle slnlc time he sought to amalgamate the vdr.ous workingmen's organizations 9n Io67 ii that year he persuaded the ssl1lsoi. U join with the international. Ihal was all important step i'll the movement toward Socialism.
 | a-s his career il the Reicllstag that invi,es the greatest attention. In June, Io75, with Liebknecht, he became vir- tualIy leader of German Social Dem oerarv, and during his membership i'll

UNCLE SAWS HOTEL DESCRIBED
 BY BILLY EASTMAN

Billy Eastman, ex-convict, on the eveii- ing of Monday, the 18th of Sept. at St. James Methodist Episcopal Church ad- dressed large and interesed audience deseibing in detail the conditions at Me Neils Island
 He explained that there were no bath tubs until just little time before he left when several whiskey barrels were brought to the prison and cut iii two and used as bath tubs.
 He also explained how they grafted the prisoners when their time was up, claim ing that the government allowed the prisoners second class fare back to where they were sentenced from. but the war den instead of giving the prisoner who was being discharged the amount allowed by the government, would provide him with steerage ticket and keep the balance.
 He told of one case in particular of a prisoner.on refusing to work being hung up by the hands every day for several months and when they could not conquer him, put him in solitary confinement, where they succeeded in driving him crazy.
 The reason why other convicts :never relate the inner workings of the.Federal prisons is because, according to East man, they are afraid of being bounded and jcbbed back into prisou. He says that he is not afraid of them putting him back.
 You will see from the above that the same conditions. exist i'll McNeils Island as ill all other prisons that have been ex- posed up to date, Eastman expects to change this by singing hymns and pray ing.
 The remedy proposed by Eastman is remedy that gives great joy to the capi- talist and which the ruling classes. would like the workers to waste their time on. The Socialist knows tf1at bibles and hymn singing. praying aud preaching will never change anything Not all the millions of bibles printed and distributed by the American Bible Society, the British and Foreign Bible Society and all other bible societies can advance the material inter ests of the workers Only class-con- scious agitation, education and organiza- tion can accomplish that You will find that God always listens to the capitalist class where the workers are unorganized. and where the workers are organized and educated you will.fnd that God without much eoaxing listens pretty quick.
 So while we can all afford to sing hymns on Sunday, let all the workers do their praying by educating, organiz- ing, amongst themselves, and their fel- low workers, and you will find that you will not have to do much ceaxing, but that God viii have his ear to the ground and listen to your wishes without any superfluous shouting.

NO COMPROMISE
 NO POLITICAL TRADING.
WILHELM LIEBKNECHT

When I speak here of our policy, I use the word without regard to any thing imnlateria1 or superficial, but iu the sense which, since the beginning of the party has had for us in contrast to all other parties i'll the sense of the policy of the class struggle, which has very often changed in form, but in ique proletarian class policy whsch separa- tes us from all other political parties ill the world of bourgeois society and
 Iii certain circles there exists an in- clination, or let us say, an effort, to desert the platform of the class struggle and enter into the common arena of the other parues. As all the other parties stand upon the basis Of a po1it- ical state,s therefore their field of act ivity is necessarily confined to the sp- oils of politics.
 The question of tactics came up then in our party for the first fine Should we, Ill consideration of certain con- sessions to the laborers, aid Bismarck against the Progressive party and other opponents of lis policy Ill the expect ation of being then after that strong enough for q successful struggle against him and against the landlord, police and military state embodied i'll his per son? Or did prudence and party interest demand that we, taking advantage of Bismarck s quarrel with the progress sive bourgeois aud other opponents of his policy, contest the Bismarckian pol icy, and organize the proletariat into an independent political party for the purpose of preparing it for the conquest of political power? \. Tie tactics were everywhere accepted which has ever since been itiaforce for the party down to the present day These tactics consist in:
 Keeping clear the class character of, the Socialist party as proletarian party ito train it by agitation, education and organization for the victorious com pletion of the emancipation struggle; to wage systematic war against the class state, ill whose hands the political and economic power of capitalism is concentrated and in this war to draw advantages as far as possible out of the quarrels and conflicts of the different political parties with each other.
 This foundation ot the class struggle is: The main point of attack Ill the battle which the bourgeois political economy is waging with Socialism. The political economists deny the class struggle and would make of the labor movements only a part of the bourgeois party movements, and the Social Democracy only a division ot the bourgeois democracy. The bourgeois political economy and politics direct all their exertions against the class character of the modern labor movement If it i were possible to create q breach i'll this bulwark in this citadel of the Social { Democracy, the Social Democracy is conquered and the pfoletar54t is thrown

THE DEATH
 OF BEBEL
Greatest Socialist
 Has Passed Away

the Reictstag he acted more than any other man as spokesman of German Socialism, With little interruption he remained member of the Reichstag until few years before his death, when he became too old and feeble to do much active work for Socialism.
 His career in that body was brilliant.
 His speeches were widely quoted thro- ughout Germany. The masters began systematic attack on his propaganda, charging him at one time with melting to assassination.
 Bebel had an unusually heavy prison record. In 1869 he was detained three weeks for disseminating doctrines dang erous to the state. In December of the following year he was apprehended on a charge of high treason and was kept under arrest more than three months pending Investigations. The trial came off i'll 1872 aud he was sentenced to two years imprisonment Nine months was added to the penalty for lese n1ajeste.
 Finally, q trial in 1886 led to his be- ing depriv ved of liberty for all additional nine months on account of the compile ity iu secret aud illegal ---- that is, Socialist--org
 Repeated imprisonment gave him an- opportunity tor authorship and uu1n- Der ofworks have left his vigorous pen. Chief among them are: ''The German Peasant War" The Mohammedan- Arabian Period of Civilization in the East and Spain'' The Parliamentary Activity of the German Reichstag and the Diets'', and "Our Aims, : Woman and "Memoirs. 7
 Nearly all of his writings are inter- diCted i'll Germany.
 The above, from the Appeal to Reason IS a very brief description of the great, Socialist leader, August Rebel who, together with that great trio of intell- ectuals Mark Engels and Liebknecht, laid the foundation ot the movement that Is slowly but surely boring under ana through the imperial structure of Germany.
 he last great gathering of import ance to tine world at large that Bebel took al active part i'll was the great international Peace Congress at Basle, Switzerland, when delegates from all the leading civilized nations asse1nebled to declare agalnst a war which the lead ing diplomats ot Europe were trying 10 launch in d vain attempt to attract the minds oi the people from the main issue ---ooclalsm.
 Although Bebel was bitterly opposed to the war policy ot Germany, he said on one occasion that ii the tatherland was attacked ne would shoulder a gun.

CHURCHILL A CAPTAIN

London, May 24-tSpecial THAT the
United States must ultimately become the
worlds greatest power in the control of
the ali in times of war and peace is the
absolute conviction of Lord Montagu of
Beauieu, who has returned to London
and has a seat in the house of lords,
greatly impressed with the practical way
in which aerial development has been
taken up in America Instead of fever-
ish efforts to make a sensational show
ing, such as one would naturally expect,
he says, from the excitable and sensa-
tion-loving Yankee of the British news
papers and novels. 1 found deeply de-
termined movement to exploit the possi-
bilities of aerial navigation and aerial
warfare which was really SO eminently
practical as to surprise a visitor except
such as really know the sound sense of
the average American. This activity in
the improvement and the management of
airships, Lord Montagu says, is most par
ticularly apparent In the eastern states.
He told the house of lords very frankly
that unless England takes a.. move-on
she will be badly outdistanced by Uncle
Sam before she wakes up to what has
happened. Lord Montagu says it is not
SO much a matter of official statistics
as of individual enterprise He is at
the back of the campaign to increase
the appropriations for army and navy
air crews that places more faith in the
interest and ingenuity of the man in the
street.
According to the latest statistics avail
able here of the military strength In the
air of European nations England has
three war office and two admiralty dir
igibles, 120 army aeroplanes and rs naval
waterplanes; Germany has "a dirigibles
420 aeroplanes and % waterp1anes; France
has 20 dirigibles, 5S5 aeroplanes; Russia,

must, however, be remembered that the

tremendous impetus to these spheres.

Famous Painter to Return

After being exiled for years from
this, his native city, NJ Leon Bakst,
greatest of living Russian painters, is
to be permitted to return. His mother
is dying. The CZarina heard of her i'll
ness and of her hearts desire to see
once more her famous eXied son. The
Empress appealed to the Car and the
bars were ordered removed, allowing
M. Bakst to come and go at will.
Famous above all other Russian
painters of today, Bakst in a letter to
st. Petersburg boyhood friend, gives
a touching picture of his early strug-
giles. He says that for a long time he
led hard life and was forced to paint
shop signs and pot boilers, which he
Sold frame included for a sovereign.
One day he decided, against his CON
science, to paint popular pictures. He
rapidly gained success and made money
Then he suddenly went back to his
earlier ideals and became once more an
Independent artist. Again he found
himself engaged in a fierce struggle
with officialdom and the worshippers
of commonplace. and finally he was
expelled from st. Petersburg Not a
single person. adds NJ. Bakst pro
tested that it was a shame to the eoun-
try, which l had done my best to
glorify throughout the world"
