German Social Democrats
Print Appeal for Termi-

LAMENTATIONS A OF
TERRITORY OPPOSED
Declare Germany Has Displayed su-
periority Of Arms and Territory Is
Free Of Enemy-F atherland Should
Take Initiative in Move For Peace
Expect Comrades in Other BeIliser-
ent Countries to Take Same Stand.

Berlin, via London, June g. = The
managing committee Of the social
democratic party of Germany has
caused to be published in the Vor-
waerts full page appeal for peace.
The interesting document declares
the people want peace and the govern
ment is called upon in the name OF
humanity to make known Its reaoi-
ness to enter negotiations.
The appeal is published under. the
heading, Social Democracy and
Peace 1t begins with arefernce to
the fact that the socialists foresaw
the war that they worked vainly lor
an understanding, but when 1t dld
come they placed them at the disposal
of the nation. 1t then refers to the
declaration of Aug. 4, 1914, in the
reichstag, which said: I'VE demand
as soon as safety has been secured
and our opponents incline toward peace
that the war be brought to an end.
Annexation Policy Is Opposed.
The appeal closes with these words:
The managing committee (Ver-
stanD of the social democratic party
always has been opposed to policy
of conquest. We now raise anew our
sharpest protest against every effort
and every proclamation the purpose of
which Is the annexation Of foreign ter
ritory and the oppression of other ma
tions-efforts and proclamations which
have become public in Germany, par
ticularly thru demands of great eco
nomic organizations. as well as the
speeches Of non socialist politicians.
Even the recital of such efforts
serves further to postpose that peace
which is warmly desired by the whole
nation. The people want peace. II
this war, which daily demands new
| sacrifices. Is not to draw itseh out
needlessly to endure until the full OF
exhaustion Of all the nations in 1t. one
of the participating powers must ex-
tend the hand of peace.
Germany Should Take Initiative.
Germany. attacked by greater
forces, who thus far has defended her
self against her enemies and demon
strated that she is uncomfortable,
should take the first step to bring
about peace.
I'VE demand of the government that
it make known it's readiness to enter
peace negotiations in order to put an
end to this bloody conflict.
1--WE expect our socialist comrades
in other belligerent lands to exert their
influence on their own governments in
! this same sense"

promise to vote in favor Of Chicago
when the question came up for dis
position. Before others were aware
Mr.. Upham's thoughts were on other
things than coal and ice he had the
pledge of majority OF the committee
men.
This was the information given out
at meeting OF Hamilton Club MEM
bers yesterday afternoon. Roger c.
Sullivan was not SO certain about the
democratic national convention, but ne
reported satisfactory progress, and it
is possible this second political at
traction may be on Chicago's card OF
events for the year 1916.
There lis only one, condition to the
promise to send the republican con.
vention here. That is the raising of
slnn nnn TO meet the expenses OF the
gathering. Those who have had a
hand in raising money for similar oc-
casiorls in the past say the condition is
easy. When all the bills had been
settled four years ago $4,000 was re-
turned to contributors.

that since 1910 the roads had made
about billion dollars worth OF I'M
provements. In some cases he inti-
mated money for the improvements
might have been taken from operating
revenues. therefore the ratios between
those revenues and the net revenues
had decreased.
Mr. Thornc argued that western
road revenues already were 30 per cent
higher than the revenues OF eastern
roads. He contended that the securities
of the roads commanded better prices
than most industrials.
Mr. Scott argued that while, since
1910, the roads had added property
worth more than $574,000,o00 to their
investments, their revenues in 1914
were s5.650,0 900 less than In 1910.

CAMPBELL ACCUSES EDWARDS.
Negro Charged With Mrs. Aliens Muir
der Leaves Penjtentiary

Joliet, ILL.,, June 26.-"Chicken Joe"
Campbell. erstwhile trusty. was re-
moved late yesterday from the peni
tertiary to the VIII county jail, to re-
main until he is indicted and tried for
the murder of Warden Aliens wife.
With the recommendation of the cor
oners jury that Campbell be held, and
his transfer to the Jail on a coroners
warrant, the legal conventions are sat-
isfied. The circumstantial evidence
against the various suspects has been
weighed and one has been selected for
prosecution.
But In the opinion of many who fol-
loved the investigation closely. this
murder mystery is no nearer solution
than 1t was when the body of Odette
Allen was carried from her tireswept
bedroom on Sunday morning.
Perhaps it was because of this senti-
ment favoring the accused trusty that
tn angry mob" pictured by prophetic
reporters was not In evidence as he
rolled in a motor thru the streets OF
Joliet. Crowds on the sidewalks recog-
nized Deputy Warden and Captain
Clarkson, the parole agent, as passen-
gers in the machine. 1t was not hard
for them to guess the identity of the
coffee colored negro who sat between
them, clad in the stiffly respectable
| black suit in which Joliet sends its
graduates back into the world. The
crowds gaped and nudged and
| whispered. but the dull, hoarse rumble
| of rage came not.
Newspaper men were permitted to
talk to Campbell thru the grating OF
| his new cell door. They asked some
questions which hadn't been put to the
negro by the investigating committees
and the coroner's jurors-and they got
some information he apparently hadn't
felt called upon to volunteer.

Joe" laid the crime at the door of one
other man. That man Is Walter Ed
wards. the warden's negro butler.
| TN innocent; yes, SIR avowed
| Campbell in reply to the first question
| why would I hurt Mrs. Allen? She
had been good to me and so had the
warden. She went before the pardon
board twice for me and the last time
| she said I might get out on parole ir
another month. Do look crazy? II
don't you ought to believe I didn't Kill
| her. Why, I'd know 1t would be up tt
me. anyhow. It was my business e
! protect her"
"Granted you are innocent, whom d.
you suspect?"

shook his head.
i Nobody he said. X don't know

But there were number Of trus

Chie. June ga general shut.
down Of Chicago's building industry
which, 1t was said. will throw out Of
employment more than 200. 900 workers,
went into effect today.
The shutdown Is regarded by con.
tractors and labor leaders as tho be-
ginning of one OF the greatest labor
wars in recent years. Tho action was
taken at n meeting last night OF rep
resentatives OF tho allied building and
referendum vote OF 5000 striking car
penters. who Overwhelmingly dafeate0
the proposal to arbitrate all questions
In dispute
The carpenters have been ON strike
since April so. Tho mon demanded q
wage increase from 65 to Is cents per
hour.
BY means Of the shutdown the en-.
ployers. 1t was said. hoped to prevent
the independent carpenter contractors
from getting supplies and thus throw
out OF work 10000 carpenters working
under individual agreement.
Effoct to Be Widespread.
Business in many parts OF the coun.
try probably will suffer as the result
of the shut down OF this city's butlds
ing industry. James Pryor. q member
of the press committee OF the employ
ers. said he had telegraphed out OF
town concerns to cancel orders and
stop consignments already on the way
| to Chicago.

| ported q set OF resolutions which were
adopted unanimously. Tho decision to
close was stated as follows:
| Resolved, That until such time. as
| the questions now in dispute be sub
| mitted to arbitration and work in. all
branches resumed. that 1t be the sense
| of this meeting that we cease to opsr-
ate our various interests and refrain
from disposing OF our products under
present conditions"
Chief Points Of Resolutions.
Summarized, the resolutions cons
| tained the following principal points:
! That the employers have been forced
| to unite to protect themselves from
| many abuses in the building construc.
! ton industry.
| That the employers have endeavored
| to prevent strikes and lockouts by In
sisting upon uniform agreements pro-
viding for the adjustment OF all dis
| putes by arbitration.
That all interests represented de-
clare for arbitration In all labor dis
putes.
That "in view Of tho present de-
plorable conditions in the building in
and the refusal of certain unions to
submit their disputes to arbitration"
that it is impossible to continue in a
practical manner the operation Of the
several industries because the operat.
Ing and overhead expenses arc greatly
in excess OF tho output and sales.

DANIELS APPEALS
TO NAVY COLLEGE

Urges Officers to Profit by Lessons
Of European War and to Discard Old
Theories Which Fail to Stand Acid
Test.
Newport. r. /, June 2e.-1n an ad-
dress at the opening session Of the
Navy War College here today, Secre-
tary Daniels appealed to American
naval officers to profit by the lessons
that are being taught by the great war
in Europe and to fearlessly discard
all theories which fail to stand the
acid test. He referred briefly to the
navy program for the coming year and
express confidence that congress would
authorize any increase recommended.
Tn personnel and material the navy
is larger than ever before" Mr.. Dan
iels said. Its men are trained and
fit. It's experts in every department
are active to remedy any defects OF
the past and to take advantage OF all
that has been learned in the only true
school In which this knowledge may be
obtained, by observing thru our experts
in Europe all that may be learned
from actual war.
"As you look abroad, you see the
foundation OF old theories crumDllnS
every day. Old tactics, old strategies.
old theories Of naval warfare which
have stood unchallenged, as almost
automatic since the triremes off Car
thage and Rome grappled together in
the Mediterranean. are disappearing
over night. II war upon the land has
reverted to the bayonet and the hand
grenade, war upon the sea has leaped
forward at single stride and broken
almost every shackle Of ancient con-
vention.
1--WE have seen the main fleet Of the
greatest sea nation In the world with
drawn from the seas to some secluded
harbor without having fired shot dur
ing the first year Of mighty con-
nict. We have seen battles begun at
ranges believed to be impossible and
ships disabled by shots from guns as
yet invisible. We have been told that
modern sea fights would be determined
in the first ten minutes, yet we have
seen that it took six hours to decide
one Of the greatest ocean battles Of the
present war. We have seen ships OF
shallow draft used as fortresses to pro-
tect land armies on the Belgian coast"
