WORLD WIDE; WAR TRUST

BY Congressman. Clyde H. Tavenner.
Germany, too, has had it's scandal
on account of the war trust octopus.
In the Reichstag on April Is, 1913,
Herr Lebknecht made exposures and
revelations, which created a profound
sensation throughout the world.
When war broke out. in Germany it
did not surprise Carl Liebknecht 1t
was what he expected, what he had
predicted. He belived for years that
war was inevitable, because of the
seeds Of distrust and suspicion that
the war trust had sown~ and was SOW

peoples of Europe. / will call, atten-

~ On April 20 the Gar Of Russia. visit
ed the captured Galician city, of Len-
berg The enthusiasm with which he
was greeted by the people astonished
the outside world. It was, Of course,
largely explained by, the hostile for
eign press as the work Of the army
and the secret, police. While it is true
that these helped, says a correspond
ent of the Berlin magazine, Bodenre-
form, in it's issues of May S, there
were other motives for this surprising
occurrence. -. This correspondent Herr
Freidank, repeats the explanation
which was given him by a citizen Of
Vienna, for =: whose reliability he
vouches.. It was. as follows: -.
THE Russians appointed as gov
ernor of Galicia, Count Bobrinski, q
we'll known .Pan-Slavic .agitator, who
had, through active work In behalf
Of Russian ideas, become thoroughly
acquainted with the hopes and wishes
OF, the Galicia,n people In every. COM
munity which the Russians occupied,
he called meetings Of peasants and
proclaimed tho overeignty of the
Russian Car, who, he said, loved the
common people far more than the
grand folks. Therefore he declared
forfeited the possessions of the great
Polish and Jewish: land owners, andN
in accordance with the Cars graci-
Gus will the land should now all be-
long to his children: who would cult
.vate it,, and would be apportioned
among families in, proportion to: the
number of members s,.&'s.I :>.,.%,:

good fortune is implied in the word
land" in the minds of the Polish
and Ruthenian peasants, Wilt realize
the impression made by these mea-
sures'
Herr Freidank then tells how his in
formant sees in this social reform in
stituted by the Russians source Of
great embarrassment to the imperial
Austrian government. Should the for
tunes Of war enable the Austrian arm
les, to drive the Russians from Galicia
can: they come, proclaiming them
selves !liperators.. of their country
men, from the Russian yoke and at
that they are to be again reduced to
condition." IF we had only intro
duced land reform In our border ter
ritories during times Of peace" be-
walled Freidank's informant, then
many things would be different
It seems that the Gear, or. his advis-
ers, have been shrewd enough to take
advantage of a situation that exists
wherever land monopoly is allowed to
flourish. For many years Austria has
maintained a great army and lined the
border with forts. But she neglected
the best defense of all against foreign
aggression-the establishment. of just
social conditions. This neglect has
had its natural results. Other COUNT
ries than Austria have been negligent
in this way. and, though foreign in
vasion is not q probability in all Of
these, national safety requires none
the less that this serious commission
be supplied at once. 49, -

WHO OWNS COLORADO?

Who owns Colorado? useless question! Woe be

side of the people in any controversy with the vested
interests of that corporation ridden state.

Pennsylvania because of his utterances regarding
welfare Of the working class This week we are
shocked to hear that the University of Colorado has
expelled Professor Brewster from the faculty
of his admirable defense of John Lawson who
recently unjustly convicted on charge of MUIR

be found in last weeks edition of TIE Labor World

been dismissed from the law faculty of the Colorado

According to DIR. S. r. McKelyev
secretary Of the state board Of health
this policy Of the new health move,
ment is putting new feeling into
hundreds OF persons.
1T is not only bad taste to talk Of
your pains and ailments, but # n a
reflection on your intelligence and
your knowledge Of health, sanitation
and hygiene not to keep well and fir
and enjoy good health, says the doc
tor. I'VE are not far, from the time
when the cause of illness will have
to be accounted for personally. In
other words, nature lis, no longer ia
be blamed for sickness when it is sim
ply the result Of ignorance, indiffer-
ence or wrong ways Of living. e
You can make man take a new
lease on life by telling him how well
ne looks. and how young; by telling
q fellow he's sure to make good when
he's down and out, and by declaring
that you yourself are as young and
healthfui as you ever were. The
principle is that 1T encourages, It
makes us think differently and act dif-
ferently, for, after all, we are onlp
what we think we are"
