CENTIfAL-VEREIN TO COLLECT
FUND FOR WAR VICTIMS.
Germans and Austrians Rendered
Dependent by Conflict to Receive

In accordance with the resolution
passed at it's recent convention in
Pittsburgh, the Central Verein, or
national federation of German Cath
Ollie Societies, has begun to collect
funds for those of German or Austri-
an nationality who are rendered de-
pendent by the present European
conflict. Such funds are to be sent
directly to Germany and Austria for
distribution there, and are not to be
turned over to the American or Eng
lish Red Cross or any like agency.
The bread-winners of many thou
sands of homes will be killed in the
present struggle, and no matter what
nation may be victorious, the suf-
ferings among the people as the re-
suit of the war will be very great
and will be experienced no doubt for
some time after the termination of
actual fighting. 1t is to provide for
such cases that this collection is to
be made. Money intended for this
purpose should be sent to Joseph
Frey, President of the Central Yer
elm, II S. Washington Square, New
York City, or to j. @. Juenemann,
Secretary, Box 264, St. Paul, MINI.

EXENIPTING TRADE UNIONS.

A question of far-reaching import
ance has commanded the attention of
congress for some time, the question
of the exemption of trade unions
from classification as trusts. Wheth-
er or not the original antitrust bill
confined in it an intention to include
labor is a matter of great controver-
sy. Within the last very few years
labor questions or questions concern
ing social relations have commanded
the attention of the brightest men of
the country. A man no longer can
satisfy the laborer by stating that
laborers are entitled to a living wage
and that the laborer has the most
honored of professions and that his
dinner pail is one of the highest
badges Of dignity. Some guarantee
must be made on the part of those
responsible to the laborer and his
wage, that he will have that living
wage and means to attain it. The
assertion that it is dangerous for
laborer to have power to enforce his
demands for a living wage has long
been regarded as absurd. The use
of the injunction against the laborer
has in many cases been improper and
often has resulted in reproach
against the, courts and is response
BILE in some for the disrespect for
law and order that exists in labor
centers. The provisions of the Clay
ton Bill or the section known as the
"laborers' bill of rights" are for the
particular purpose of preventing this
misuse of judicial power when deal
ing with labor conditions and it is to
be sincerely hoped that a common
understanding will come to exist be-
tween the laborer, the court, and the
public and instead of the observance
of the labor day meaning something
to the laborer alone, it will mean
day of general rejoicing for all class
es of people regardless of condition
or professor because of the mutual
understanding that will come to ex-
list when the brotherhood of man is
the prime consideration of our deal
ings with one another.

A PRO.BRITIsH PRESS.

That there is an anti-German agi-
tation on this side of the Atlantic by
English papers, no one can doubt.
The purpose of this agitation is for
the purpose of bringing about pro-
English sentiment and a boycott of
German goods. The English press
and press dispatches now censured in
favor of the British attitude in the
war are for the purpose of arousing
hostility towards Germany. AS an
example of this pro-British press at
tempt the following comment from
the New York World upon cable
gram from London explains the at

THE PROFITS OF, WAR.

Viewed from every angle and an
alyzed from every viewpoint the
enormous cost of war produces no
profits. This is true of the conquer
ors as well as the conquered. The
cost is dear to the victor, for they
lose in wealth and lives and in pro-
erosion and foster that warlike spir-
it which costs country so much.
AS matter of cold calculation war
in Europe has been business. 1t is
the business of those engaged in the
manufacture of antagonist:c senti-
ments and the implements of war, the
actual mechanical machinery of war
and all its attendant necessities.
Many peace advocates have pointed
out very specifically that there is
such thing as war trust. The de-
sire for war in Mexico was the de-
sire fostered by the war trust and
prompted in congress by those who,
in the interests of the army, wished
W oSSuAO uuuASAVAdA anu uCdVy DIP
preparations. Were the profit re-
moved from the preparation of war
it is safe to predict that war talk
would soon cease. In addition to
the war preparations there is the toll
of lives and blood of those sacrificed,
the life blood of the living and the
life blood of the dying. The amount
of money necessary to expend upon
a human being from the time of birth
until they become an efficient fight
ing machine seems to be lost sight of
in the calculations of war. In add
ton to this the soldier is removed
from productive pursuit and mill
tarism becomes profession. The
presence of militarism will never
deepen the veneer of our civilization
or make for national disarmament.
Europe has too long striven to en-
rich its soil by splitting upon it the
blood of it's manhood. Were the
profit removed much would be done
to destroy the presence of this anti
quated desire of human beings to as
sumo, under the guise of naturalism,
the threatening menace of war.

AfoNTANA,s LABOR TROUBLE.

Just as Labor day is about to be
celebrated comes the news, from
Butte, Mont, that bloody struggle
is on which may rival, in bitterness
and destruction, the labor trouble in
Colorado. AS near as can be ascer-
tanned, the jist of the trouble comes
from a clique of labor agitators in
Butte, trying to operate independent
ly of the established federation in
Butte, and trying to run things to
suit themselves. The trouble has
the earmarks of socialistic agitators.
These adjitators have threatened the
destruction of Butte, should state
troops be sent to preserve order. We
are, indeed, called upon to witness
. pitiful spectacle in our cil'vization.

same career, but from a different
cause, and while this domestic strife
is going on among us the nations of
Europe are marshalled in battle ar
ray. This may be a melancholy view
to take of our civilization socially
but these instances remind us of the
folly of many of our acts and bring
us to a closer realization that after
all the things of God and of religion
constitute source of spiritual
wealth and contentment which COM
mercial strife has never and can new

religious basis that we can estab-
lish our true relation with each other.

STILL FIGHTING HOME RULE.

STILL FIGHTING HOME RULE.
Not even in the face of Europe's
crisis can the enemies Of Ireland for
get their cunning. When it was an
nounced in Parliament this week
that the home rule question would
be given attention Ireland's enemies
showed their front and declared
their hostility towards any program
which would have for it's aim the set
Element of the Irish question. They
declared it unfair to consider the
question while the attention of the
country is directed towards war and
while any of those interested in the
solution of the home rule situation
were absent. This, of course, was
simply an attempt to mark time un-
til the grave danger facing Europe
was over, when England would not
be needing the service of the Irish
in her armies and when she could
direct all her attention towards keep
ing the Nationalist from reaching
their goal. The disturbances that
were caused in parliament over the
home rule question is remarkable
when we consider the attitude which
the government wishes to have the
Irish Nationalist take in supporting
the government war program. 1t
would hardly be expected after the
address of John Redmond, pledging
the support Of the Irish volunteers
to the government, that anything
would be said or done against the Ma
tionalists cause. The exposition CIV
en- this week in the British parlia-
ment shows that no matter what
be the situation in Europe, the enc
mics of Ireland are still active.

able growth of vehement anti-Ger-

able growth of vehement anti-Ger-
man feeling in the United States,
which it asserts is rapidly approach
ing a point of extreme bitterness.
In spite of the powerful influence of
the German-American element says
the paper, which is being exerted to
the full in all directions, American
indignation at the sudden blow of
the mailed fist at the peace of the
world has mounted daily and it is
now beginning to be complicated with
furious resentment at the indigni-
ties and cruelties suffered by great
numbers of American citizens travel
ing in Germany at the time this
storm burst
The London Telegraph, whilst
pleased with the result of the efforts
of our pro-British sheets, is conf
dent that when Anglicized Americans
who have been travelling in Europe
reach home, the anti-German move
ment will receive an addeo impetus.
We quote:
When all the refugees have been
brought home there VIII be, we VEN
ture to predict, much more formid-
able movement of opinion in ma
ton which is the quickest in the
world to feel an insult-a movement
of which one aspect will be a deter
mined trade boycott when German
trade attempts to raise its head
again."
From the above it would seem that
Britishers take for granted that
American sentiment is pro-British.
We hear British press dispatches tell
ing of German cruelty. The British
forget that Aug. %, one hundred
years ago, they burned the capital of
the United States. This act on the
part of England is the only instance
in which destruction continued after
hostilities ceased. Germany has never
been our enemy-why let England
attempt to make an enemy for us?

pledge itself in the face of the Eu-

garvating when their present and
former attitudes are compared. The
attacks made by the London Times

Exploration Work at Property Re-
gaited as Satisfactory

Myandot, although il is making the
only good showing Of copper during
I the fifteen years OF it's existence, has
| been forced temporarily TO suspend
mining operations owing To the utter
imposstbility of financing properties in
the exploration stages under the ex-
isting conditions prevailing in the
business and financial worlds.
This condition may last for "A long
time, and the management deems it
wise to conserve the few thousands
on hand for the inevitable necessary
expenses that have to be met even in
a period of idleness.
The results OF the exploration work
as far as it has progressed are most
encouraging in the opinion of all those
who have seen them. and included
among the visitors to the property

tendents thoroughly conversant with
the characteristics and conditions OF
amygdaloids.

BLOODY ACTS CHARGED

Letter Says Eyes Were Gouged Out
and Tongues Cut.

aId iO'SSNS SANs
New York, Sept. l4.-Count Won
Bcrnstorff, German ambassador to the
United States, made public an extract
from a letter written TO him by Prince
Henry Of Rouss, under date OF Aug.
-. The extract follows:
Il hope that we have already pro-
tested to the government at Brus-
sells against the frightful atrocities
which were committed and are still
being committed daily by the lower
class of the Belgian population against
our brave soldiers, especially against
wounded ones. II seems that the Bel
gian government is either helpless, or
these things, which are worse than the
crueltes committed during the Bal
kan war.
ut might be very advisable il the
Belgian government would be asked
from The Hague TO take energetic
steps in the Belgian districts not yet
occupied by the Germans. so that an
end is put 10 this detestable war OF
Franc tireurs, and that army fights
only against army.
The reports are coming in daily
about guards being treacherously kill
ed by peasants, etc, and the fearful
crueltes committed even by women
10 our wounded soldiers. This will for
ever remain a shameful spot in tho
history Of Belgium.
The Belgian government apparent
~ has no idea about all these things,
and il surely does not meet with her
intentions that the Belgian people
commit the lowest crimes against hu-
manity, which naturally the Belgian
government will have to be blamed for
In the future.
1t is still time to prevent scores OF
crimes. The cruelties i'm question are:
The gouging out of eyes OF the wound
cd soldiers; cutting out of tongues;
cutting Off Of limbs; numbering OF the
wounded who are lying on stretchers
ready 10 be taken TO the hospital;
trcachcrous assaults by peasants"
