COMMERCIALISM, NOT MILITARISM
CAUSE OF WAR, SAYS ROSENTHAL

Benjamin J. Rosenthal, president of the
clared before the German Club at the Hotel
Sherman, Chicago last week, that "Made in
Germany was the bomb which upset the
equilibrium of the world. German CONNER
cialism, not militarism, he asserted, was the
real cause of the war.
He said:
"This terrible war was not brought on by
reason of German militarism, which appears
to be the general supposition, but it came be-
cause of German thrift, German enterprise,
German genius of organization and scientific
research and, most important of all, German
solidarity; all of which added together spell
German commercialism' All else were mere
Incidents
"This war was bound to come. 1t almost
came in 1905, and then again in 1911, and
was only averted through diplomacy. The
other nations have seen their trade gradually
slipping out Of their fingers into the hands of
the Germans"
Mr.. Rosenthal declared that, in proportion
to the population and commercial growth of
France, the militarism of that country was as
pronounced as that of Germany; moreover,
that Englands militarism, as shown in her
tremendous naval xpansion-whereby she
practically controls the seas-is one of the
greatest menaces to international safety.
He predicted that as soon as the war closes,
Germany will bend every effort to regain the
business she has lost, and that the allies will
be just as determined to prevent Germany
from again invading their market.
He urged the American nation to be pre-
pared for the great struggle for commercial
supremacy which is bound to follow the war.

DEPORTATION OF BELGIANS COM
PARED TO TREATMENT OF CON-
QUERED IN AGE OF ASSYRIA
AND BABYLON

Emile Vandervelde, minister of munitions
in the Belgian cabinet, and president of the
executive committee of the International
Association of Socialists, has written to men,
bers of the committee regarding the depor-
tations of Belgian workmen to Germany He
declares that when Belgium was invaded, it's
people thought they had suffered all that a
people could suffer; but worse was still to
come.
He compares the treatment of Belgian
workmen at the hands of the German govern
ment to that accorded the conquered in the
age of Assyria and Babylon.
The men are gathered up, he says, herded
and numbered like cattle, and taken as cap
tives into Northern France or into Germany
their kindred knowing nothing of their des-
tination. They are forced to make fortifca-
lions, to construct strategic railways, to make
cement and other materials used in building
trenches, or to replace in other work laborers
who are being sent to the front or into NUM-
ton works.
A London dispatch states that the German
levy on Belgium has been increased from
$8,O00,OOO month to $10,000,000.

In the debate on the bill, it was said that
besides the millions whom the measure would
render liable to service in the army, it would
affect 100000 others, to be called upon for
other services in the war.
Secretary Won Loebell declared that the bill
must prove to ''the whole world Germany's
determination to fight with all her forces to
the uttermost."

TOM PENCE DEAD

Thomas j. Pence, secretary of the
Democratic National Committee,
died at Washington, ID. c., Monday.
Tom Pence was one of the best
known and most influential mem
bers of the Democratic party in the
United States. Although there has
passed away a man whose name is
comparatively unknown to the rank
and file of the party, there has gone
a man who knew more of the inner
workings of the party more of it's
leading members, and one who has
done more for his colleagues, than
any ather one man in the country.
His office was the headquarters of
the leaders. Great, questions were
decided in the presence and under
the advice of this one man. President
Wilson and the greatest statesmen
went to Tom Pence's little office to
confer with him as to party policies.
Pence may aptly be termed the
"wheel-hOrse" of the national COM
mittee. His place will be a difficult
one to fill. He will occupy a niche
peculiarly his own in the political
history of the Democratic party.

MORE AMERICANS PERISH IN A
SUBMARINED VESSEL

The Sussex, a cross-channel vessel,
bound from the English to the French
coast was torpedoed by what was be-
lieved to be a German submarine on
Saturday last. The vessel did not sink
and was towed to port. Twenty-Five
Americans took passage on the ves-
sci and at least two were killed in
the explosion following the striking
of the torpedo. Passengers agree no
warning was given. This makes
matters between the German and the
American governments very tense, in
the face of the promise of Germany
not to sink passenger ships without
warning. Just what will follow is 4
matter of surmise. This government
will take action as soon as fully ap-
prised of the details.
