IMPENDING,
SOCIALISTS THINK
Philip Snowden Believes
1t Nearer than Most
People Suppose.


London, April 1l.-Despite the force
Of Prussian militarism, Philip Snow
den. VI. p. believes socialism will play
a great part both in peace arrange
ments and in the post-bellum settle
ments. Talking to The Tribune cor
respondent to-day he said;
1.-THE Socialist movement is now
stronger in Germany than at the out
break OF the war. Recently the Ger
man Social Democratic party mailed
Morris Hillquitt the party's idea OF
peace terms, which ruled out the pos
sibility Of any cesson OF Alsace 20
France. Since then the party has been
rent asunder, one section, following
DR.. Liebknecht, advocating the true
peace lines of international socialism,
giving up all ideas of conquest and
gaining the upper hand.
"When one remembers that the Ger
man Socialist party's discipline is 10
them like the Ark Of the Covenant,
1t can be realized how true socialism
Is winning ground in Germany. The
same thing is happening in Great
Britain. The war has purged British
Socialists OF that labor union element
which is content TO cling TO shibbo-
leths Of a narrow nationalism. We
know where we are; also what men
really count. When peace comes our
views are bound TO tell. | believe
peace is much nearer than most people
suppose. Don't be surprised TO wake
up any morning and read in the news
papers that a truce has been declared
and that fighting has ceased. History
always repeats itself. Peace always
comes while fighting is still persisting.
After the war the international So
cialists look forward TO having a great
voice in shaping future international
arrangements. Furthermore, the
spread of international socialism will
gradually crush militaristic ideas, es-
pecially because its advocates are men
true 70 their principles. who. despite
all influences. have remained loyal TO
their convictions"

We now have less than sou guns
and ammunition to serve them less than one

To send our modern infantry without
the protection Of field guns against an enemy

After war breaks out, field guns cannot
be purchased abroad. nor can they be ex-

The militia needs 3 % Of these guns to
complete its equipment.
For the gun. which the army has and tor
the guns which the militia have there is not

For years Congress has been urged to APP
propriate enough money to provide our held
guns with an ammunition reserve Of $50
rounds per gum This to Congress seemed
enormous. although it is 66oc Of the mini
mum number Of rounds that Germany kept
on hand in peace times. Year after year
Congress has failed to provide for this am
munition reserve. And at the rate OF its
past appropriations it will take FIVE years
to bring it up to thi, 400 deficiency, COM
pared with the number Of rounds other ma
tons kept on hand. AT present, for the
guns actually made, we have only III OF
the ammunition asked for-27fo of the cs-
innate which is infinitely lower than the
minimum supply kept on hand by other
tons during peace times. AT present Ger
many and France are using 300 per cent of
their maximum estimate. The number of

than the number of rounds we have on hand
