ACTIVE
TO BRING PEACE
Victor Berger Thinks They viii Be
Able to Make Showing In
Short Time

limited Press Leased Wire Servicel
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 1.-Vic.
tor Berger, socialist leader and a for
mer members of congress, supports
the charge of the German socialists
that the socialists OF France and Bel
GUM are at fault for not starting
peace negotiations earlier. in an in
terview with the United Press today
He further expressed confidence that
the socialists in many countries to-
gether with those of England and
America, will force a cessation of
hostilities within a few months.
II agree with the German socialists
that the blame for not starting peace
negotiations earlier rests largely with
the French and Belgian socialists"
said Berger. The French socialists
are practically in control of the
french government and at least one
of the Belgian leaders is a member
OF the Belgian cabinet The have
always scorned any offer of peace
When the American socialists repeat
edly tried to organize an International
socialist peace congress last fall, both
the French and belgian socialists saw
agely refused even to consider the
question. Keith Hardy and some Eng
lish leaders accepted the proposition.
The Russian socialists do not count,
of course, as they are suppressed at
home. French and Belgian socialists
on the other hand even now are talk
ing about dividing up Germany.
in connection with this also want
to call attention to the fact that Ger
manic countries are the home of So
cial-democratic parties. namely Ger
many. Austria, Switzerland. and Scan
dinavian countries. etc. The Latin
countries, Spain, Italy and Slav ma
lions always did incline to anarchism
rather than to socialism
However, have no doubt but that
the socialists Of the Germanic coun-
tries. including England, with the
help of America, will be able to cause
cessation of hostilities within few
months. An American embargo on
arms will help more than anything
else"

WHY BOYS LEAVE FARM.

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside an Ohio contributor makes
the following interesting explanation
of why so many boys leave the farm:
Let me try to show that the faith
1 ers are to blame for keeping in the
/ rut that runs back to the days when
all work was done by hand.
THE trees were chopped and clear
/ ed by hand and the land prepared for
seeding with the old-fashioned crude
tools, the crops planted, cultivated
and harvested in the same way.
These ancestral farmers were COM
PEELED to work fifteen hours or more
each day while doing this pioneering.
and the same Internationally grind
has been handed down from genera
ton TO generation ever since
This plan of doing two days work
in one will no longer be tolerated by
farm boys when they come TO know
that the masoni the carpenter, the
plumber and shopmen work but little
more than half of the farm day.
500. too. are the mothers TO blame.
Their sons must become teachers,
clerks. statesmen, or office men-iobs
that will allow white hands, fine
clothes, and a spruce, Gifted appear
ance. Also, the girls are too often
advised by their mothers to marry
city fellows
Don't do IT any more, mothers, II
you could follow your boy for month
after he reaches the city you would
shed tears OF regret the rest of your
life.
Now tell the truth, Mr. Farmer.
Are you giving the boy the oppor-
tunity you might Remember this IS
the twentieth century, not the eigh-
teenth. Couldn't you make life little
more pleasant?
Have little more sociability, give
your sons share, let them do some
Of the business. / know a farmer
who never would let his boys work |

we're four of them, and they all left |
home before they were eighteen. Make |

Than other loved things are,

To some ethereal star. :

The kindly thing we did.

When dear ones are at rest;
For the singing scorch OF remorse's

When through long hours we weep
Us the bitt'rest woe that hearts e'er

When silently .they sleep.
Then let US give, while yet they live,
Our love in fullest measure;
Twill ease our pain when hot tears

And be our lasting treasure.
