SOCIALISM.

Socialism Is word having two dis.
tinct but related meanings: primarily
it is used as the name of a certain
philosophy of history and method of
interpreting and Analysing social
phenomena. In the second place,
since this philosophy and method have
as one of their principal conclusions
that society is evolving toward a CO.
operative social stage, the word is
used to designate cooperative social
organization, where the means for the
production and distribution of wealth
are the collective property Of the work
ing class, while the goods which are
to be consumed become the private
property of the individual workers.

MILITARY WRITER
ATTACKS ADMIRAL
Says Article Seeking Peaceful settle
mcnt With United States vii Re-
suit in Americas Boosting.

BERLIN, via London, July G.
G;2O p. mD-Count Won Reventlow,
military writer of the Tages Zeitung,
attacks Admiral Won Truppel for the
admiraIs article in Der Tag warning
Germans not to underestimate the
danger of a breach with the United
States. Count Won ReventlOw says
he read the article ''with extreme
amazement, and regret" and adds.
"The foreign press had already re-
ported that Germany will cede its
standpoint in the coming note and
Americans have already accepted this
view Admiral Won TruppeTs remarks
will weaken Germany's position and
are equivalent to laying down arms
before the command of hands up is
heard"
The writer says that Americans will
read Admiral Won Truppel's remarks
about their strength with pleasure and
will think, "see how strong and fright
full we are. Who would have thought
it?"
The Kreuz Zeitung in an editorial,
also attacks Admiral Won Truppel and
declares that his article i'm Der Tag
must be characterized not only as an
incorrect but as a wholly inadmissible
statement. That the United States, in
the event of its entering the war,
could greatly increase munitions ship
ments to Great Britain, it argues is
doubtful and lis regarded by persons
knowing American conditions as a
bluff"

BIDS WIFE GOODBYE
THEN KILLS SELF
Cafimero Poblacron, a
Mexican at Sand Springs,
Fires Bullet Into Brain.

Cahmero Poblacron, 81 years old, a
Mexican living at sand Springs, shot
and killed himself last night shortly
after o'clock. He fired a bullet from
a Smith & WessOn 3S-calbre re-
volver into his brain causing almost in
stant death. A coroner's jury, hastily
empanelled, reached a verdict after
a short deliberation which stated that
the deceased had come to his death
as the result of a gun wound self
inflicted.
Poblacron and his wife separated
some time ago. She has been living
with her mother at Claremore. Yes
terday morning Poblacron called her
over the long distance telephone and
asked her to come to Sand Springs.
She arrived there Tuesday afternoon.
They were together for more than an
hour in the roCming house where he
boarded.
1t seems they decided 1T would be
useless to attempt a reconciliation and
Mrs. Poblacron told her husband she
was going back to her mother in
Claremore. He kissed her goOdby,
told her to always be good to her
mother, then walked with her to the
depot.
He returned to his boarding house,
went into his home and a few mo-
ments later the report OF a shot was
heard. Boarders found him lying in
pool of blood, the revolver still
clutched tightly in his hand. He was
dead beofre medical assistance ar
rived.
