Lord Kitchener'S Speech.

Lord Kitchener, or some one speak ing authoritativeIv for him, has declared ill the Times that the present 100, 900 instalIment of recruits, which IS to form the new army, are to be trained for six months and then sent to the front. An other 100,0 is then to be enlisted and go through the same process; and So addition addition is to be made up in six monthly periods until 5CO, ,000 men have been trained. He makes it quite clear that if the voluntary system is not found sufficient, compuls;on will have to bo appl1ed
 Some British Socialists are, unfortun- ately, ranging themselves on the side of nlilltarism, and We shall require to take the strongest possible action to make it clear to our Comrades on the Continent that the hands of the l. L. F., at least, are clean, and that when the, conflict is over and we have once again to meet our German, French, Belgian, and Russian Comrades. no part of tile re- sPonsihnlity for the crime which has been done in Europe can De laid at our door.

Why Germany Has Armed

Let anybody take map of Europe and look at the position of Germany; OH the one side Russia with her millions of trained soldiers and unlimited popul- atlon to draw upon (its traditional pol icy for over hundred years has been to reduce Prussia 10 impotence, so that the Slav may reign supreme); on the other side France smarting under her defeat and the loss of her two provinces, All sace and Lorraine. in 1870. For a num- bes of years past these two niIitarisms have had close and cordial alliance. What was it that brought the Czardom of Russia into alliance with the free re- bile of France? One object, and one alone, to crush Germany between them German armanents, and the German navy were primarily intended to protect herself and her interests aga nst these two open enemies.
 If this reasoning be correct, if follows that our being ill the war is 2 matter of the free choice of our rulers who appear to prefer that Russia should become the domineering power of Europe. I don't write these llnes ill order to say that we should now withdraw from the conflict. That is clearly an impossibility at pres ent But, If we can get these facts in stilled into the mind and brain of our own people, md of the working class generally, we shall be able to exert a much greater influence in bringing the war to close much more speeeily than the nlilitaro element contemplate at present.
