GERMANY'S ARMAMENT
APPROPRIATION DISCUSSED

BERLIN, April 17-"More than A.
100000 social-democrats in Germany
are against the governments $685.
100000 emergency tax for increasing
the army and for other military prep
arations. We are against it in prin-
ciple and in '.ct," declared Eduard
Bernstein, the famous leader of the
"revisionist" wing of the socialist
party. Bernstein is member of the
reichstag. 1t was in the lobby of
the reichstag that he discussed the
proposed extraordinary military prep
srations Germany is making. He is
the chief of the progressive and lib
eral movements in his party, which in
cludes the brainiest men and foremost
thinkers among the socialists.
at is true that the proposed one
time property emergency tax will not
touch the Masses" said Bernstein.
"but we are against it none the less
again it in principle and in fact
against the entire military system"
at has often been said both here
and in the United States that social
lists lack patriotism. Would you leave
Germany defenseless was asked.
"No, the socialists would not leave
the fatherland defenseless," replied
Bernstein. "We are against the mill
tary system as it exists. We are
against it because 1t is 'semi-feudal'
system, military system in which the
common man, the man of people, has
little chance to rise, in fact, none at
all.
"In France, as Napoleon said, 'ev-
cry soldier has the marshal's baton in
his knapsack.' In theory, at least, a
soldier in the French army may rise
to the highest rank. How It works
out practically, do not know. In our

Inke's Protestant Episcopal church,

to take such action but officials Of

I. W. WIS ON HUNGER STRIKE

DENVER, April 17.-Sevcnty-five
Industrial Workers of the World to-
day fulfilled their determination
reached yesterday to start hunger
strike, and refused to eat the bread
served them, demanding the same fare
as other prisoners. They trampled
the bread on the floor.
One prisoner who addressed the
others this morning, said "If we
don't eat, we'll become so weakened,
they will have to take us to the hos
pitfalls and feed us on substantial
grub"
The men have been getting only
bread and water since confinement

does not exist. We stand for a sys-
tenn of national defense in which the
people have part in the organization
and in the responsibility
in the nature of militia or citizens
army, but we are against war"
Pressed upon the point of patriot
ism,' Herr Bernstein said:
"The word patriotism is a dan
gerous one. 1t can be made to cover
a multitude of things" He was dis
inclined to define patriotism" from
the socialistic standpoint.
at has been frequently stated, that
in event of war, the socialists in the
army and in civil employment, will
strike. Is there any truth in this ?"
was interposed.
The revisionist leader, who speaks
good English as result of long exile
in England years ago, moved about
uneasily. 1t was plain that it was a
subject upon which he disliked to
touch. A party of alleged freedom
of thought, speech and action, there is
no political party in Germany which
disciplines it's members so severely
for talking to non-socialists as the
social-democratic organization. The
party conventions practically prohibit
its leaders to give opinions or to talk
for publication to representatives of
the non-socialistic press.
"There are wars and wars" Bern
stein finally said. ~ cannot say
whether the socialists would strike or
not strike. 1t probably would depend
upon the war. Many things would
have to be taken into consideration. 1t
is a big subject. If Germany were
invaded, the socialists would do their
duty to the fatherland. But" he add
ed with a smile, 81 do not think that
we need fear an invasion"
"Do these unprecedented military
preparations foreshadow war;"
1--WE cannot see any great danger of
an immediate war. Of course. this
ceaseless, sensless rivalry in arma-
ment may lead to war"
Bernstein reluctantly admitted that
the Panslavic movement in Russia
constituted the elements of danger to
peace. Asked what the effect of the
emergency war tax would have upon
Germany, he said: at will have the
effect of restricting the work of so
cial reform and uplifting the masses,
reduce the amount of sociological
work and probably also have re-
strictive effect upon the sums devoted
to educational purposes. That is an
other reason why we are against it.
While the one time property tax will
not affect the masses, other taxes
will follow which will affect them.
Money used in that way, naturally can
not be used for educational, sociologi-
cal and other purposes more bene-
fetal to the masses"
"The socialists being the strongest
party in the reichstag, can they pre-
vent the passage of the governments
demands ?"
81 fear not. And if we did, the
kaiser would dissolve the reichstag."

PROPOSED LEGGISLATION
MAKES JAPAN ANGRY

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 18.-
Legislators are determined to pass
the pending bills designed to prevent
Japanese owning land in California.
No action is expected until tomorrow.
Governor Johnson, whose is backing
the measures, refused to discuss them
today.
A cablegram read in the state SEN
ate from Bishop Harris in Toxic, say
ing: "The Methodist missionaries
urge the defeat of all anti-Japanese
legislation. The situation here is Sc
rious," precipitated an uproar, the
members denouncing the interference.
No action was taken.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
The state department was notified of
the anti-American meetings in Toxic
last night when California's proposed
anti-alien land owning bill was de-
nounced. Twenty thousand attended.
President Wilson is much concern
ed but insists that California has the
right to enact such clegislation. He
frankly told the Japanese ambassador
if the California bill passed, Oregon
and Washington would in all proba-
bility follow suit. This would un-
doubtedly make Americans unpopular
in Japan, and the president wants an
ambassador there capable of handling
the delicate situation. Ex-Mayor
Guthrie of Pittsburg is being urged
for the post.
