Socialism is fundamentally opposed
10 war and the beginning Of the great
European struggle witnessed the as
sassination OF Jean Leon Jaures. So
cialist leader in France. and one Of
the worlds greatest opponents of
armed conflict and bloodshed. This
actual occurrence was followed by the
publication in London labor paper.
the Citizen, of a report that Or. Karl
Liebknecht. the socialist leader in the
German reichstag. was executed for
refusal TO do military duty. The story
was based entirely on a rumoT circu-
lated by a German refugee in London
and has not been confirmed.
All of the stories of German NAL
treatment OF socialists have come from
French and English sources and have
lacked verfication.
Jaures. leader OF the socialists in
the French chamber Of deputies was
shot to death by an assassin July 81
before France declared war and while
the socialists there were vigorously
urging peace.
When the war scare came 10 a head
with Austria Hungary declaration of
hOstilities against Servia. the social
lists in the French chamber and the
German reiChstag, in both OF which
legislative bodies that political party
has considerable representation, were
opposed TO war Liebknecht and
Jaures, socialist leaders in their re-
spective parliaments threw all their
influence in the balance for peace.
In France the socialists held out to
the end against conflict. In the reich
stag the majority OF the'sOcialist dep
uties finally came over and voted the
war appropriation demanded by the
kaiser.
DR.. Karl Liebknecht. editor Of NOr-
waertz, the leading socialist newspaper
of Germany. has nearly all his life
been mixed up in some sort of alter
cation with the imperial government.
In October. 1907, he was tried and
sent to a fortress prison for Is months
for the publication Of pamphlet ad-
dressed to the youth of Germany. in
which he advocated a general military
strike as a means of preventing war
For this he was accused OF high
treason. The trial was a highly SEN
sational one.
Last year Liebknecht was again in
the limelight by charging in the
reichstag that the official Of war de-
partment were bribed by the Krupp
gun makers To hand over German mil
itary secrets and to get business for
the krupps. Liebknecht in effect
charged both the armament manufac-
turers and government officials with
high treason and he made his charges
so specific that he forced the var
minister to admit that a part of the
accusations were true.
Liebknecht's expose created SEN

Throughout his career Ldebknecht
has been the foe Of militarism and i'm
perialism. He wants 10 abolish the
monarchy and establish a democratic
government in Germany. He wants
TO reduce the army and do away with
compulsory military service.
The assassination OF Jesn Leon
Jaures was one Of the most Sensa-
tiOnal incidents of those tragic days
in which the great war had its begin
ming. He was dining in a restaurant
IN the Rue MOntmartre, by an open
window. From across the street came
two shots and Jaures fell forward with
both bullets in the back OF his head.
The assassination was evidently well
planned. for Jaures often ate in the
place and shortly before he was killed
a telephone message TO the cafe asked
If he was there. The assassination
took place while France was debating
whether to go to war. Jaures, as an
exponent of peace, was vigorously OPP
posing war. His assassin was a stu
dent, supposed TO be a Russian.

bitter foe of Imperialism. large stand

An Arabian Nights Tale

swer to a question like that coming
from a sultan. OF course Miller wish
ed to have a look at the beautiful
daughter He was half suspicious,
though, in the midst of so much comic
opera setting, lest the daughter should
turn out to be an uncouth- looking,
comedy character part. The whole
situation, in fact, was such that Mil
Ter kept pinching himself to ascertain
if he wouldn't wake up and find he
was Raymond Hitchcock. He kept
listening for an orchestra to strike up
something by Gustav Luders, and it
seemed inevitable that at any moment
there would enter an attractive chorus
of couriers in white tights carrying
shields.
Try to form now a mental three
sheet poster of the scene. Miller is
standing we'll up stage. Seated on a
dais in front of the back drop, so to
speak, is the sultan. The beautiful
daughter enters slowly at |. c., and
walks to center stage followed by two
comely handmaidens, carrying her
train. At r. u. e. stand three or four
more maidservants. large, well-fav-
ored mammals
The daughter is exactly as repre-
scented. She is a girl of about 21
summers, and is indeed beautiful. Her
complexion is of a shade somewhere
between that of Buff Cochin and a
piece of caramel fudge it is smooth
and well kept. Her clothes are mod
ishly arranged garments. pale yellow
and blue, of the finest silk and satin
to be had from oriental looms. About
her plump little neck are enough
pearls and diamonds to buy most Of
the Woolworth building-for the ISL
and of Jolo is the center of the pearl
fishing industry. Her fingers and
wrists too. are dazzlingly laden with
rare and precious gems, and she car
ries a jewel box ornamented over it's
entire surface with diamonds, emer-
aids, turquoises and rubies. II is
about the size and shape Of a S2.5
box OF Decent cigars.
The beautiful girl has recently made
her pilgrimage to Mecca. which &C
complishment gives her a special title,
and on the whole she is considered
one swell kid.
