The view generally held hero Is that
the Dutch government Is convinced that
Germany has embarked on new cam

Kaiser AGAINST attacks on Dutch ship

The Dutch ncwsbapcr N!cuwc CUur-

THE measures taken by the govern
ment do not grow out OF the Tubantia
sinking. nor Is there any imminent dan

Europe is sick of fighting. and no ma

Then | propose to argue that if the
people owned the nations industries
(Which is the socialist platform) and
if those industries were operated for
use-not for profit-there would be no
wars. Peoples themselves would new

BY Pac. and 'at1 News Service.
l.. Benson Of this city, socialist can.
didate for president and the earliest
named party leader for the November
battle. today in an interview told why
he believes socialism has an especial
appeal now and prophecies the organi-
cation will get between 100000 and
2,00O.OO0 votes this fall
1T is very simple" Mr.. Benson said.
THE European war is opening the
eyes of the working people to the fact
that the competitive systematic pri-
vate ownership of industrial orcaniZa-
tiOns--crcatcs an owning class. That
owning class which has the trade at
present must struggle TO keep il, and
must struggle To extend il to other
countries. That owning class which
il, no matter how. And there is the
cause of the war.
The soldiers in this war. | think,
are realizing more and more that they
are not fighting for themselves or
their country but for their Industrial
masters. More soldiers are reading
and learning the truth in this war
than ever before. They are learning
that fighting is business no man
should take part in except for self
defense.
My campaign will be an effort to
save the United States from the fate
of Europe. For forty years European
socialists have been warming the old
countries that this war of owning
Glasses would take place. But their
warnings went unheeded. Now we
propose TO warn the United States.
Our Nation has come 10 state where
il is what the economists call an 'cX-
porter of capital IT. has SO much
money that it must seek space beyond
its own borders TO invest that money.

ger of being attacked. do not be.

the first stages Of the war.


Early in February Of last year he
reached Jakutsk. with several thou
sand other prisoners. From there he
and his fellow sufferers were sent
north over the frozen Lena TO Shigans-
ka. a distance OF about three hundred
miles, in a temperature often thirty
degrees below zero. Many of the
poorly clad prisoners died from ex-
posture on the way and hundreds of
them were sick when they reached
their destination.
There were about seven thousand
prisoners in the camp on the Lena"
the publisher says, Their lot was aw-
full. They received only scant supplies
and there was no medical care for the
sick and wounded.
About twenty of the unfortunates
died daily during the months OF April
and May and matters became still
worse when the terrible Siberian sum.
mer began. An epidemic of typhoid
and swamp fever broke out and the
uNalh ldNc u.
In August conditions became lit
tie better. hut up to October /, when
l at last received notice that my ex-
change had been agreed upon and
was started on my way to Jakutsk and
Europe, over three thousand of the
prisoners had died.
Fifteen hundred others were in a
hopeless condition and fear that few
of them are alive today"
And Shiganska is not the worst hell
in Siberia" DR.. Meyberg says in con-
clusio". From prisoners whom met
on my journey to the Rumanian from
tier l learned that conditions are still
worse in some of the other prison
camps. / repeat that when the war
ends and the exchange of prisoners be-
gins. ii will be found that not thirty
percent of the soldiers and civilians
sent TO Siberia are alive"
