So here we are again and again fac
ing, the truths of socialism-that moth
ng short of social ownership of social
lied industries will ever accomplish
permanent results,
This same category OF failure might
be applied to the Wilson administra
ton. Compare the average vase and
cost OF living of 1912 and 1914 and
zee if you can discover that the lot Of
the working class has been bettered
one iota.
With all the honesty, efficiency and
reform which the Progressive element
In power possesses the standard of
living of the working class has been
lowered considerably. A more practl-
cal lesson than the Walsh admisistra-
ton OF Massachusetts and the Wilson
administration are contributing could
not be wished for A better argument
for Socialism could not be found in
any Socialist literature.

there is death everywhere-dead cat
tie, dead horses, dead soldiers, dead
women, dead children.
How the Innocent Suffer 49,
Before the battle, highways are
crowded with people; old men and
women, mothers carrying little
babies, children clinging to grand
army of the enemy. No bands play,
there are no brilliant uniforms to be
seen, there is nothing to eat, no
water to drink, the roads are thick
with dust. It is summer and fearfully
hot, yet there are clouds in the sky
clouds of smoke from burning build
ings, houses, factories, towns.
the defenders fall short and explode
Shells aimed across the valley at
among the fugitives. They make
great gaps in the flying crowds, but
they close up and press on; they must
get out OF the valley away from the
linc of fire of the contending armies
at any cost. The dead are thrust
aside, the wounded are left to suffer,
the weak fall by the way. Children
are born by the wayside; their wall
ing mingles with the groaning and
clamor while the great mass strug-
giles painfully on.
These are all innocent people. They
have done nothing to provoke this.
They can do no fighting They are
leaving behind them all that they
have gained in a lifetime Of toll, and
going they kno wnot where, to what
sadder fate they cannot tell.
And who are driving them from
their homes, who are killing them on
tho way, not wilfully perhaps, but
The soldiers! Truly
a pleasant trade. It is the business
Of the soldier to kill and, destroy;
that really Is his only business, that
is what all his training is for;~ just
that and nothing ese. Dress-parad-
ing is side issue.

Famous Author Draws.
Vivid Picture Of War

Playing soldier is still a favor
tie game. Being soldier is not
quite so amusing says Cyrus Town
send Brady, the famous author, in an
article on What War Is-Just One
Battle" in the war number of Boys
Life, the Boy Scouts official maya
zine. 1t was DR.. Bradys desire to
help the boys of America to under
stand the true nature Of war and its
consequences. His graphic pen has
given a picture startlingly vivid one
that adults will read with as much in
terest as boys. -
In the course of his Illuminating
story DR.. Brady says:
War affects first the land or coun-
try in which it is carried on; sec
ond, the non-combatants who reside
there, the women and children; third
the soldiers themselves. Let us con
slider for a moment a country over
which contending armies have al
ready marched or fought, and where
they are to fight again. It will be
a devastated land, cities will be
burned, towns depopulated, villages
RACED, forests cut down, crops de-
stroyed, industries wrecked.
Bringing It Home to Him.
Every boy lives in a house; let him
think of the results of the explosion
of shell in the center Of It. The
jewellers are either in flight, or If at
home, killed; the explosion has torn
the house to pieces, all the furniture
and household belongings, the hal
lowed family treasures that have not
been shattered have been destroyed
by the. resulting fire. If the house,
has garden it has been uprooted;
thed og is dead, shot or stabbed; the
whole place is ruined. If there is a
farm attached. the standing crops
have been destroyed by being trampl.
ed under foot. The trees under which
he played have been cut down to
make palisades, or to delay move
ments, or to- destroy cover; the lin
Did brook has become a muddy
morass wher emen and horses have
passed. Broken wagons, smashed i'm
plements, shattered cars, abandoned
cannon abound on all sides. The

Food DepOts''

NEW YORK, Nov. 6-(SpeciaD--
Meyer London, the lone Socialist in

on the war situation, Congressman

we will make them quit. The people

They will revolt against a militarism
that means starvation And that twill

take these necessary cps.

OF the larger food supplies and sell
them to the people at the lowest pos
sible price. But the fighting nations
themselves have shown us how to dc
this. If they can take over Industries
in order to kill more efficiently, we can
surely take them over in order to keep

the seriously wounded now. There
are always hundreds and even thou
sands who are cut, bruised, graZed
scratched, sprained, wrenched and
otherwise hurt who are not counted.
When a boy gets hurt in work or
play he knows how helpful is the
sympathy and aid Of his fellow
Scouts. how sweet the care of his
mother Nobody is helping the wound
ed between thel ines. This valley is
still swept with fire. It is impossible
to go there. The wounded envy the
dead. The groans and shrieks or ap-
peals of the wounded are heard above
the awful dinJand, most horrible of
sounds, the screams Of wounded
horses, poor unwilling victims of the
savagery of man.
Back home mothers, wives, sisters,
sons and daughters, in heart-breaking
tension wait for news from the field.

there! !.

The man who knew most about war
in America lies buried on the banks
OF the Hudson. His tomb bears the
wish that was nearest to his heart,
Let us have peace" Why did Gen
eral Grant, great soldier that he was,
make that prayer? Because he knew
what war is-what every battle
means.
