SOCIALIST
LABOR PARTY

The Socialist Labor Party at their
convention in New York last night
nominated Arthur E. Reitner, Of bos-
ton, for President, ard Cabef-Harr'--
son. of. Chicago, for Vice President.
They adopted a platform, some OF
the planks of which are as follows:
The means of production must be
owned, operated and controlled by
the people in common"
Socialist Labor party aids to sub
stitute system of social ownership
of the means of production, indus
trially administered by the working
class-the workers to assume control
and direction as well as operation or
their industrial affairs.
This solution of necessity requires
the organization of the working class
as class upon revolutionary, po-
litical and industrial lines.
We, therefore, call upon the wage
workers to organize themselves into
revolutionary political organlz-
ton under the banner of the Social
list Labor party, and to organize
themselves likewise upon the indus
trial field into revolutionary indns-
trial union in keeping with their po-
litical aims.
IA resolution was passed urging en-
ployees to organize industrjaily "on
the principles of the workers of the
international industrial union, and
do all in their power to show the
fallacy of craft unionism as eXem'
plifed by the American Federation
of Labor" which was characterized
as ga mere watch-your-id a-and-
boost-your-pay organization"
Many persons who study the signs
of the times believe that when the
present terrible war shall have burn
ed itself out socialism will be giver
a great boost. Socialism, under one
name or another, is growing rapidly
throughout the world, and the tlmt
may not be far distant when thl!
party will be able to assert ltseIl

Presidential campaigns in the Unltct
States, but the time may be drawing
near when principles like those enun
ciatcd above will be put into prac
tice. There is enough distress ant
perplexity already in the world. Wha

the above crystalize? Political prin
ciples propagatcd on revolutionary

strength is more manifest than at
any time since 1912, and that many
Republicans are prepared to vote for
the reelection of Wilson, whomever
their own party may nominate.
The fact is pointed out that the
President showed surprising strength
in the German district of New Jersey
at the primary a few days ago. All
the German districts turned out IN
large numbers to vote the ballot with
Wilson'S name upon it. This was
particularly so in the almost exclusive
German colonies in the Hudson City
section of New Jersey and in the
north Hudson towns along the Pail
sades."

triotic and Christian endeavors to,
keep this nation out of the European
embodiment. We, Methodists, do not
believe that it is patriotic for few
Americans to insist upon their tech

time as this, for personal reasons, at
the risk of bringing the horrors and
desolations of war upon millions OF.

TWENTY-FIVE per cent of our educat-

recent statement of a noted scientist
Although paradoxical, the truth Oh
this statement is significant, espec-
ally with respect to those who live

Washington may be taken as an
ant illustration that will apply to
American cities in general, where
there is a constant hustle and strife

NEW RECORDS SET.

Flights at Newport News.

Newport News, May l. Flying
the biggest hydro-aeroplanc ever
built, Theodore McCaulcy, an lnstruc-
tor in the Curtiss aviation station
here, yesterday smashed three worlds
records for a machine carrying seven
passengers, in addition to setting q
new American record for a craft OF
this type.
Victor Carlstrom, flying the new
twin engine military tractor b'planc
the first ever flown in this country,
also set new record for altitude for
a machine carrying one passenger
when he assembled $500 feet. This
beat the former record. set April l,
bv Steve MacGordon, by LOO feet.
Carlstrom was in the air l hour and
81 minutes, and reached height of
3.12 miles. Extreme cold which
caused ice to form on the radiator
made further climbing impossible. al
though it was warm on the ground.
MeCaulcy, carrying six passengers
was in the air 10 minutes and flew 50
miles. This broke the worlds record
for endurance and distance.
The third worlds record broken was
for speed, the machine making 1oC
kilometres, or 90 miles, in 30 minutes
An altitude of $50 feet gave him thu
American record in this respect. The
former records for a machine carry
ing six passengers was held by :
Frenchman, Garaix, and was made

GERMAN FAILURE AT VERDUN
Richmond Times-Dispatch)

Despite occasional outbreaks of
German activity east or west OF the
Meuse, it seems to be apparent that
the efforts to capture Verdun already
have been abandoned, and that that
ambitious enterprise, pursued for a
time without regard to cost in NUM-
tons or lives, must be written down
failure.
Along the greater part Of the Yer
dun line the offensive has passed to
the French, and the German on
slaughts appear designed to CONSOLE
date the ground already won, and
to make its permanent retention fea-
sible, rather than to push the crown
prince through to the inner gates of
the fortress.
Even German reserve supplies cam
not endure the daily and nightly con-
sumption of ammunition on the scale
of the recent great offensive. The
ammunition so consumed represented
not only tens of millions of dollars,
but many days work of many thou
sands of men. On the industrial side
there is limit to such expenditure
of effort, and of course, on the human
side there is limit also. The Ger
man staff must have become convinc-
ed at last that Verdun was not worth
the dreadful price that further adj
vances would represent.

various French ports. The voyage
from Archangel to Marseilles repre-
Isents a distance Of fully 1000 miles.
1t is long way over which to move
an army, but great armies have been
transported over longer distances
when the facilities for moving arm
les by water routes were nothing like
so expeditions as they are now. Two
hundred and fifty transports, carry
ing each upon an average Of 1,25C men
would be sufficient to convey the en-
tire force without making any round
trips.
It is hardly to be questioned that
the Allied powers could assemble
such transport fleet as would handle
this big arlny-moving proposition
without round trips. The British and
French navies include about 40 first
second and third-class cruisers that
can be used as transport ships, and
there are probably 400 other ships of
large tonnage now exclusively in use
by the Allies for transport service.
The moving of a Russian army of
$50, 900 from Archangel to any French
port is not so stupendous as it might
seem at first thought. 1t is quite
conceivable that there may not be
lapse of thirty days between the dis
embarkment of the first contingent
and the last.
