Mexicans WHO attempted to resist the
invasion. This Of course is WAR.
And anyone who undertakes to tell
YOU it is not is either a fool. or else
thinks you are one.
These regulars who have done this
are the same kind that Cleveland
sent to Chicago-when Debs went to
iail-are the, kind the Governor of
Colorado yelled for to shoot working
men at the Rockefeller mines. They
ere the men who arc so lazy, and SO
averse to work, that for the chance
to be supported out Of the money Of
YOU workers, they agree to shoot any.
aoly-INCLUDING YOU WORKERS
-.wllJrn they are ordered to snoot
They avc Aot Your kind of people al
all. They are in fact your enemies.
They are hired for that, and that's
what they arc. 1t was discovered III
the japanese War that the Cossack as
soldier is JOKE. Yet the Russian
Government kcers him because they
can never br sure that the real SOL

WILL, and % he is kept for that pur
rose. And the REGULARS during
cur Civil War-just like the Cossack
was a JOKE. Aud he is kept here,
CHARTERED IN the people. for the same
use that Russia's autocrats makes Of
the Cossack-TO FIRE ON THE
PEOPLE.
The situation then is, the FLUTES
nave sent their Cossacks into Mexico
There is no doubt that it is the Plutes.
Even Senators Lodge and Root have
ostentatiously taken President Wilson
BY the hand and suggested that he
COME ALONG A LITTLE FASTER.
One awful yell has gore up from even
the REPUBLICAN papers (of both
kinds). thai we must ALL stand be-
mind the President now. Which
means that he is RIGHT where the
FLUTES want hin-and that means
he is not where the workers want him
1t all.
The FLUTES then, have set their
COSSACKS onto Mexico. The Next
ans will kill and wound 4 certain
lumber Of tic invaders. How many
10 man can tell. Your first interest
les in seeing to it-as far as you
:an-that every one Of these killed
md wounded is a COSSACK. Do ali

light after every working class boy.

Every worker volunteer killed in Mex

Or, pat it another way. The FLUTES

sacks-how can YOU be fool enough
to do it? |: the FLUTES ask some oil
YOU to be shot-in order that they
nay have rore Cossacks left at the
lose of the ar-are you going to be
fool enough 10 be shot? To save a
COSSACk? What are YOU saving
him for. N>w stand right up to the

Cossack by dying in his place, so that
he will be alive after the war to shoot

next strike. This Is what the Plutc%
re inviting you to 60 to Mexico for.
Your death makes no difference to
hem. But t. lose COSSACk IS
mother matter.
Right now, the Cossacks arc being
sent into Colorado to shoot Labor
