Herr Hirsch said that his party
was opposed to political oppression,
but that the basis OF all political re-
forms must be their equal application
to all minorities, as in the case OF
the Danes and Poles.
His party had hoped, he continued,
that the government would fulfill it's
duty by granting uniform suffrage,
with the secret direct ballot, at the
session Of October 20, last. He men.
toned the desire Of the Social Dem
oerats for an honorable peace and
concluded:
People Long For Peace
1--WE know that this war is desired
by the people in none OF the bellig-
erent lands; that its end is every
where longed for by the people. We
cherish the confidence that the voic-
es demanding peace will grow more
numerous in all belligerent lands,
will make themselves heard in infiu-
entail quarters and that under the
influence Of this desire for peace,
especially Of the laboring classes Of
all lands, an assured peace may
come speedily, to the well being Of
the German people and Of all hui
manity."
Herr Won Heydebrand replied to
Herr Hirsch on behalf of the non
Socialist parties. He declared that
the present moment was not suit
able one for advancing special wish
es or complaints. The situation was
one which demanded that the entire
Prussian people how itself united, as
its soldiers on the battlefield were
united.
Herr Liebknecht interjected:
"You have no right to speak in
the name Of the German people,"
This remark brought forth cries of
protest. Herr Heydebrand continued
his reply with an exhortation to the
delegates to work together and make
any sacrifices necessary for victory.
After the first reading Of the budg-
ct the diet adjourned until Febru-
airy Is.

A distinguished and level headed
man who knew what he was saying,
once said, Advertising Is to business
what steam is to machinery" That
he was right every shrewd and sue
cessful business man knows, for it
Is through advertising he wins sue
cess. But in almost every town
there are merchants who seem to
prefer very low head Of steam, and
not unoften no steam at all. And
the funny thing about 1t is that they
don't seem to see why their competi-
tors who advertise freely and attrac-
lively get the customers and make
money while they drag on far in
the rear.

tigatiOn of the fact will show that
,his difference Of 81 100000 between
the revenue of August 1913, and the
evenle or August, 1914, was not
due t. the war, but was due to the
change in the tariff. Why, do | say
that? Because in. August of 1913, the
Payne Aldrich act, protective law,
was in operation; In August, 1914.
the Underwood law, free trade mea-
sure, was in operation.
But that is not all. II you are go
ing to ascertain how much OF the
loss of revenue was due to the war
in Europe you must institute com
parison Of the amounts received dur
ing different months when the same
law was in operation. II proves no
thing, so far as the effect of the war
Ia concerned, to contrast one month
when the Payne Aldrich Act was In
operation and another month when
the Underwood Act was in operation
because to do so is to ignore the eff
feet of the change in the two laws.
Now, let us institute a comparison
of that kind.
In August, 1913, the revenue was
over S3O,0OO0OO. In August, 1914,
1t was approximately $19,O0O,OOO, a
difference Of Sl1,0O0,0O0. But the
Underwood Act went into operation
in October, 1913, and If you will take
the figures for the months following
October, 1913 you will see that the
average amount of revenue received
under the Underwood Act up to Au-
gust 1, 1914, the date of the breaking
out of the war, was about $21 100000
per month SO 1t is perfectly APP
parent that 100000 of the 81, 000,-
900 was clearly due to a change in
the tariff pc icy of the United States
and not to exceed $2,0O0,000 of 1t by
any stretch of imagination can be
ascribed to the hostilities in Europe.

Last year was q great one for the
working classes in the matter OF use
full legislation. Congress and thir-
teen state legislatures have passed
laws OF various kinds beneficial to
the cause OF labor. Among the mat
tiers dealt with were child labor,
hours of work, workmen's compensa-

disputes. Certainly an encouraging
list.

is, wh..h might initiate against the
harmonious cooperation of all parties
have surrendered none of their views.
This Is shown by the attitude OF the
Socialist members of the Prussian
diet, which began session yester-
day. Herr Hirsch, Socialist dele
gate, read on behalf of his party a
declaration which is in part as fol.
lows:
"The Social Democratic party main.
tains its opposition, based on princi-
pie, to the former government policy,
which policy has remained in all
material things unchanged. The
party, however, refrains in this
critical time from introducing dis
cusson of a polemi. nature into the
consideration of the budget on its
hrst reading"
Demands Of the Socialists
Herr Hirsch added that his party
later would call attention to com
plants concerning the provisions for
soldiers and for dependents, the
food supply for the nation and re-
strictions on the free expression of
thought. He could not permit the
occasion to pass, he continued with
out giving expression to the demand
of his party that the government, in
consequence of the situation brought
about by the war, should eoncede
certain measures desired by the great
mass of the people. These included
the demand that the police cease
their battle against the labor move
ment in general and in particular
against the Social Democrats and the
Socialist organization.

Anti. Air Craft Shells.

Special shells have to be used In
anti-air craft guns. for the ordinary
shell fired into the air cannot be seen
in its flight. and the gunner would
have no idea whether he went near
his target or not. So tracer shells
are used in anti-air craft guns.
This shell leaves trail of smoke by
day and fire by night, so that its highr
can clearly be seen. and the gunner Is
able to observe how far off his target
he is.
The tracer has in its base an in
hammable composition which is fired
as the shell leaves the gun. The actual
base of the shell has in it number
of holes. through which the smoke
streams as the shell makes its way
through the air. At night a tirework
attachment to the base of the shell
takes the place Of the smoke compost

The shell itself is a high explosive
pnel-that is to say. it is shell
with a thick steel high explosive head
and a thin steel body filled with bull

ments of thick steel from the head
