] Paris, April IA manifesto, signed
by Karl Liebknecht, George Lede'

Clara Zetkin, Rose Luxembourg, and
other members of the minority fac
ton of the Social Democratic Party
in Germany, has been sent to Eng.
dependent Socialists of those coun.
tries to work up a sentiment for i'm.
mediate peace. The manifesto says:
| The number of men who have per-
| ished through the monster of war on
the eastern and western fronts sur
passes a million. The number OF
wounded is thrice higher. Those who
are responsible know that the material
damage caused by invasion can only
] be repaired with difficulty. The dam
| age caused by the invasion of East
ern Prussia was estimated in January
| at over s10O.00O.0o0. The figures
| amount to billions in Belgium. The
European war expenditure already ex-
| ceeds $4,000, 0O0.e zoo. The bill in
creases daily and the working classes
will have to pay it.
Running Future Generations.
Besides eXhaustinE us. the present
war is running future generations
While the cry of national defense
could be used with sincerity at the
beginning, the imperialists on both
sides now make it clear that they are
fighting to destroy the rival nation
To avert a new period of armed peace
they wish to crush the enemy SO that
he cannot rise again.
But what would be the result il this
bloody fury were allowed to run its
course unopposed? Either tyrannical
domination by the conqueror, or blood
split till both sides were absolutely ex-
hausted. In any case Europes eco
nomic. democratic, and socialistic de-
velopment would be retarded a CEN
fury.
The indisputable fact today is that
we occupy the better military situa-
ton. because our territory is unin-
vaded. Germany therefore should be
the first to raise the cry of peace. We
independent German socialists want
general disarmament and compulsory
arbitration.'
Predict New Moves.
A letter accompanying the manifesto
says:
Although placed beneath the iron
heel of martial law and unable to eX-
pose our positions publicly we can pre-
dict surprises in the near future. The
opposition to this abominable war is
growing ceaselessly in Germany. but
effective peace action depends upon the
help of our French. English. and Bel
Gian comrades"
