The following comment on the re-
ported execution of Drs. Karl Lleb-
knecht and Rosa Luxemburge, two OF
the most prominent Socialists In Ger
many, by order of Kaiser Wilhelm, Is
originally from the New York VOlks-
zeitung:
For the second time within one
week.. cable dispatches tell us of the
military execution Of our comrade, DIT.
Karl Liebknecht, and again, as an
August Z, the news comes to us In an
indirect manner. First 1t was an
Argentine newspaper, La Prensa, that
gave us the terrible news; now It is
the official organ of the British Labor
party, the Daily Citizen. 81 N~% q
Unfortunately, however, the report
rings too true; it bears the stamp OF
truth ON it's forehead. For at the time
La Prensa told us that the kaiser had
tined up 100 Socialist deputies and
had them executed under the provi-
sions of military rule, one could shrug
ones shoulders and say to- ones self
that even Wilhelm could not be SO
mad, just as this critical moment, to
provoke revolt, particularly as he had
said he would recognize all Germans,
regardless of party difference.
1.-THE London dispatch, however. not
only makes plain statement Of q
likely fact and goes into details, but
contains no improbabilities, such as
the execution of the entire Socialist
parliamentary group. In addition. It
contains another name-that of Com.
rade DR.. Rosa Luxembourg who, after
Liebknecht, is the best hated by the
military and aristocracy. ?
There is, of course, room for doubt
because of the transmission Of the re-
port. Comrade Liebknecht, contrary
to the statement contained in the ca
ole dispatch, is no longer a reservist,
but belongs, as he did in his AID
year, to the Landstrum' the Land
strum,' too. would hardly thus far
have been called into action, as the
'Landstrum' never leaves the country,
but is used in manning the fortifca=
tions. :.
Certainly this a weak ray Of hope.
for it would be highly improbable that
two absolutely untrue reports tending
to confirm the same story would be

have shown the proper interest in the

VANCOUVER. b. c.. June a.
Ii looks like Vancouver is crawl
ing up pretty close on the Seattle
Giants, yesterdays victory over
Tacoma bringing them up a
notch closer to the top. With
MeGinnity and Doty opposing
each other the game was close
and interesting even though a
small batch of fans were present
to watch the proceedings.
Doty pitched swell ball up to
the seventh inning and he was
given the kind of support the fans
like to see. Many a time the
Vancouver boys fast fielding
stopped the Tigers from scoring
with fast double plays and the
like.
The Tigers came very near do
ing something in the ninth when
a series of three hits brought ia
one run. The Beavers scored In
fourth and sixth. McCarl goi
all the way to second on a double
and scored on Shaw's hit Shaw
got to third on a slip by West

at last. The two Waterbury's,
with Monte as captain and

of course. The only surprise was
in the choice of Rene Lamontagns

declare Lamontagne is better.
The British team practicing at
