The Soldier and the Working Man

David Lloyd George appeals to
the factory workers to save England
from defeat.
Upon the wage earuers, he says.

England shall emerge from the Ger

f,il than ever before in the affairs
of men," or beaten. Inundated and
stripped of her honor and influence.
and the mere bond slave OF . cruel
military tyranny"
The makers OF cannon. guns and
munitions must work harder. They
must be more regular In their labor.
They must increase their efIscicncy.
They must grunt and sweat. not In
the trenches. but NJ their work
benches. and in the prosaic lifting
and heaving OF huge masses Of
metal.
They must exhaust themselves.
not In the fierce rushes at the smok-
ing craters which mark the blowing
up OF the enemy's line, not In the
charges made to the sound OF mar.
tial music and under the excitement
Of battle. but in the long tense drag
Of labor for wages.
Lloyd George asks a good deal Of
the workers. He asks them to give
their lives In q fight against foes
they cannot hope to see.
Moreover. he urges them to de-
vote themselves to the saving Of
Britain's honor. when Britain has
for ages dishonored them.
But the workingman saving his"
country not only gets none OF this
honor which even the soldier who
receives II in Victoria crosses. Iron
crosses and the like sometimes
looks on as a dear-bought airy moth.

Ing. but no cross but the double
cross.
He sets no honor. and he gets no
country. He saves honor for the
soldiers and the statesmen. and he
preserves country for tho land
lords. He Is asked to spend his life
for six feet OF earth and \ wooden
overcoat. After the war. he IL still
one Of the masses, "them asses. y
He still must say sir" to the man
whose privilege II is to reap the
honor and the Dement'S of war.
Let Mr.. Lloyd George--who un.
derstands the matter very we'll
show these working people that the
country they are asked TO labor and
sweat and travail for will be really
theirs when the war Is over. and I'M.
less they have become so embruted
by the grinding Of landiordism that
they have lost forever the upward
looking and the light" that dulled
weapon of britain. her working
classes will leap like a blade from
its scabbard.
Britain has for generations prayed
that her people--and made them NO
pray themsclves--might be content
ed In that state OF life to which II
hath pleased God to call them. And
the state Of landlordism has been
charged TO God.
Thus England's workingmcn have
been taught that God has made them
underlings. And why should an IN
deriing strive. All he possesses Is
q choice OF masters. And is that
really worth expanding so much OF
life for! I think II Is. In this case.
and Lloyd George thinks SO: but II
a race bred as underlings fails to
think so, who can be surprised!

From, Another
Point of VieU

Nobody has suggested yet that Mr..
Bryan resigned to become secretary Of
statements.
Much obliged, F. A. r., for that poem
on "War VS.. Peace" but we are afraid
if we published it, it wouldn't help mat
tiers any.
The price of carbolic acid has gone up
SLAB q pound. and this, in cases here
and there, comes probably under the
head of the high cost Of dying.
An Oklahoma City girl who weighs 635
pounds has just wed. She'll make some
better half.
Bryan has now been read out of the
Democratic party some 10 or IL times
since his resignation. Nothing more nat
ural. though, when you come to think it
over. When did the Democratic party
ever indicate that it wanted peace?
However, we will expect to find Mr..
Bryan. as usual, controlling the next ma
tional convention.
