Socialists for many years to come.
Consequently such programs must in
evitably be more or less capitalist"
programs. If you do not like any such
program, you must confine yourself
to the simple propaganda of anti-mili-
tarist views, and this propaganda can
not have any immediate effects upon
the present-day policies of capitalist
governments.
Fraternally,
ERNEST UNTERMANN.

pertinent at the Compiegne Military
Hospital, what he declares is the ideal
antiseptic. The most powerful anti
septic known to science is hypochloride
of lime, but it's use is injurious to the
tissues owing to it's acidity, and it does
not keep. DR.. Carrel has found these
two defects are remedied respectively
by the addition of carbonate of lime
and boric acid. Wonderful results
have been obtained with the new an
tiseptic. If applied in time it is said
to make infection in wounds impos-
sible.

The Reason.
AS matter of fact, the Socialists
90 of the United States have taken
no real stand against war for the sim
pie reason that they are not real So
clal1sts. At least 70 per cent of our
party membership are mere reformers,
trying to do the legitimate work of the
Bull Moose middle-class party through
an organization which is, in theory
(only) a revolutionary working class
party.

WHAT COULD WE DO?

Comrade Untermann desires tc
know what we propose to do in the
case the capitalists, or their tools, in
sist upon forcing us to join the army
and enter the war.
According to the Dick Military Law
every able-bodied male citizen of the
United States from IS to As years OF
age is member of the army, await
ing only the call of the president for
service. Refusal to respond promptly
to his "call" would be met by court
martial and murder by the govern
ment. What could we do? We can
only answer this question for our.
selves. We would resist conscription
single-handed, if need be. Our body
would be murdered, but our lesson
would live; our principle would not
have been deserted; we would have
died not as a soldier fighting for his
master, but as Socialist fighting for
his Cause.
The man who is afraid to die is not
a Socialist. He's a slave, and can ex.
pect only slaves death
Volunteers.
AS matter of fact, the Dick Mill
tary Law would not be invoked in case
of foreign war. 1t was intended to
be used only to suppress patriots" in
their fight for higher wages, shorter
hours of labor, and better working
conditions. It's a strike-breaking act,
not war measure
In case of a war, volunteers would
be called out. And they would re-
spond. Lots of them. There are
more boneheads than bullets in this
country, as everywhere else. "Our
leading citizens" would not respond to
the call for volunteers. They are too
intelligent, So are we But the
Henry Dubb element would exhaust
the uniform stores and the army
shoes and the embalmed beef within a
few weeks. SO sensible men, lead
ing citizens" and ourselves, would not
be missed, nor needed.
No true Socialist will ever be killed

INNOCENT DROP IN
 PRICE OF PORK JOINS.
Another Is Expected in Next Few Days-Supply of Fish
 Running Short

Quotations on Morris avenue remain unchanged since yesterday with the ex- ception of pork loins. which have taken another drop of cents being quoted at 12 cents. Pork Joins have declined D cents per pound within the present week and the probabilities are there will be another slight drop by next week.
 Poultry dealers report a brisk day s business with a good supply on hand for Saturdays trade. There are no changes In prices today, but dealers anticipate 8 drop in prices next week. While there is no advance reported in flour at the pres ent time a rise in prices is not unlikely at an early date.
 The demand for fish is so great they are unable to catch them fast enough. The supply of red snapper has run out again and unless a shipment Is received at once there will be none on the mar ket by Monday.
 Trout and mackerel are also scarce; however, other varieties and oysters are plentiful.
 There was considerable improvement in trade conditions yesterday over the previ- ous day. Still. merchants claim business is not what it should be, all things con- sidered, and comparatively speaking re- tailers are buying very cautiously just now.
 Today's quotations follow:

TRADING INACTIVE
 ANDPR|CESDROP
Cotton Market Quiet But Closed Steady at a Small
 Net Gain

New Orleans, December 3-After a mod crate bulge on the opening of the market today, cotton became quiet and fell off in prlce- Trading was chiefly of an evening up character. From net rise of Il to 12 points. trading months went 2 to points under yesterdays last quotations. The close was steady at a net gain of to 1 points.
 Lquidating longs furnished a good part of the offerings, although more or less short selling was in evidence. Longs un- loaded in preparation for the coming bu- reau reports. The initial advance was found on better cables than due, but the effect from this quarter was short lived.
 The interior continued to report a bet ter spot demand, but without stimulating the demand for contracts Reports of a further advance in ocean freight rates caused comment, but the conclusion was reached that it was due to scarcity of tonnage rather than to demand for room. Small mill takinss were against the mar ket in the afternoon.

LOW RECORDFOR GERMAN EXCHANGE Stock Market Less Active With Advance in Price
 of Steel

New York December 3-The market was less active. but more responsive to constructive conditions today, throwing off much of it's pessimism of the previous session and closing with moderate gains, In the early dealings some iTregularity was observed mainly as a result of re- newed pressure from bearish sources. Spectators for the decline gave currency to a variety of adverse rumors, ranging from the tenor of the Presidents forth coming message to conditions abroad
 London was again moderate seller of American securities here, but almost the only reflection of the foreign situation was seen in another low record for Ger man exchange. Marks fell to 7SM, a de- cline of 1a from its recent minimum quo- tation, with an easier tendency for ster- ling and francs. Bankers representing the allies gave denial tc reports of cancella- ton of war orders and that class of stocks held relatively firm.
 Rails furnished basis for confidence by their quiet strength, Canadian Pacific proving the only notable exception. New York Central, Reading, Union Pacific,
 
 by point and Fries and New Haven were bought at concessions, moving for ward Ill the late dealings.
 United States Steel easily recovered Its loss Of the previous day, gaining 1Ss at S6as. Steel's tonnage figures for Novem- Der appear a week from today and fore casts indicate gain over the rema rkable increase shown by the October statement. Bethlehem Steel was unquoted until the final hour, when it opened at 45o, loss of 70 points, but soon rose to 475.
 Total sales Of stock amounted to 473,000 shares.
 The extent to which money is piling up nt this center is evidenced by today 8 free offerings of five and six months money at 2s4 per cent, which equals to the low rate for this form of accommodation in several years Local banks report large gains from the interior and a sub stantial cash increase should be shown by tomorrow's statement.
 Bonds were irregular on light trading. Total sales, par value aggregated S4, So1,- eco.

Where Diamonds Come From

from the Washington Star.
 In the great diamond fields of South Africa the stones are found in what are called pipes round or oval stems of a peculiar sort of rock, several acres in extent at the top and running down to unknown depths. Near the surface this rock, rich in iron, is disintegrated by ex- posture to the weather and assumes a vel Jewish color The precious gems are readily extracted from the friable rock.
 Farther down the pipe" takes on A different character. The rock becomes a comparatively hard, blue mass, much more difficult to work. Yet 1t is still sprinkled through with diamonds. lying embedded in the molds where nature made them. This blue rock must be ex- posed to the weather or be treated with water before it will yield up it's treas ures.
 It is clear from the nature and appear ance of the diamond bea ring rock that it is of volcanic origin and that the pipes are evidently the necks of an- ably thousands of years ago. When one considers that the diamond burns and is consumed at a high temperature. one can not think that the gems contained in those ancient pipes of rock were brought there from the interior of the earth while the rock was in molten condition It is far more probable that, under peculiar conditions of pressure and temperature they were formed where they are now found while the rock was cooling eff. It remains to be learned what were the real conditions of their formation.

SMALL ADVANCE
 IN WHEAT PRICES
The Upturn Not Well Main tained and Market Closed
 Unsettled

Chicago, December 3.-Wheat made Sc advance in price today. chiefly because of decidedly higher quotations from Liver pool and of hopes that export sales would continue large. The upturn, however, was not we'll maintained, the market closing unsettled at net gains of 1d11kc to 1s4c. with December s1.111h and May s.131s@ 1.1314. Corn finished 1 to 1hc down, oats off ssas4c to Bc, and provisions varying from s2lsc decline to a rise of 191bc
 Buuish cables, which accompanied the higher quoted by Liverpool, had a good deal to do with creating widespread sen timent in favor of listing the wheat mar ket here The dispatches from Great Britain told of quick distribution await ing all shipments that arrived and of a fresh difficult in getting supplies, sharp advance in Argentine vessel rates to the higher point on record. Commission house demand here was noticeably broadened also by the greatly reduced current esti- mates of the available amount of milling wheat in the United States. On the bulge however many holders turned to the sell ing side in an effort to realize profits.
 pcpottS ol tLe Te-Sdle or a cargo or Manitoba wheat that had been purchased for Italy did much in the last half of the day to unsettle the extreme confidence of the bulls. It was said, though, that the resale netted the foreigner in the trans- action a handsome amount. New buying for Europe failed to reach an encouraging total being only 5o0.OOO bushels, as com pared with double that sum on the pre- vious day.
 Larger country offerings with weather of kind that promised increased receipts, made the corn market weak. Hedging pressure was evident in the December de- livery. Oats suffered from reports that the bulk of export business was Canadian The domestic oats were said to be too high priced to compete.
 Provisions advanced with hogs but sub sequently averaged lower. Packers were heavy sellers.

BULL|SH ADV|CES
 RESTRICT SELLING
The Cotton Market Opened Steady But Based Off
 Under Selling

New York. December S.-Further scat tering liquidation was readily absorbed in the cotton market today and rallied followed an early decline, with Janudry contracts selling up from 12.3oc to 12 Acc, and closing at i2.36c. The general list closed steady at a net advance of to z points as compared with yesterdays final figures.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 9 points in response to rel atively steady cables, hut quickly eased off under selling of much the same char acter as that responsible for yesterdays s decline, This was supposed to represent the liquidation of small long accounts for over the weekend or the govern ment reports expected within the next few days, but the decline here led to Q widening of differences between New York and Liverpool, which evidently at- tracted an active demand tJ undo strad- dles. At any rate houses with Liverpool connections were good buyers here and prices soon rallied with March selling up from 12.57c to i2.67c and May from 12.7Sc to 12.S5c. After the c:ose of Liverpool had shut out arbitrago business, trading became less active and prices eased off 6 or points from the best under re- newed liquidation, but fresh selling was restricted by bullish southern spot ad- vices and the market flrmed up again in the late trading on a demand which seemed to come partly from spot houses and partly from local bull interests.
