couldn't help themselves. The German
socialists PROBABLY wanted to say that
in the trouble with France, there was
something to be said in favor of France
too, Zapp, aber when the Kaiser shouts
'Germanism consists in utterly believ-
ing in the principles of Germany, and
putting them principles first above
everything y'understand, the socialists
didn't dasst to figure that maybe France
could also got principles. No doubt
there was plenty German socialists
which had an idee that if the Kaiser
had believed in an in-and-out instead of
an out-and-out Germanism, consisting
of 80 per cent Germanism, 19 per cent
Internationalism and one per cent Ben.
zo-Boracid Common Sense, Birsky,
war in Europe might have been avoided,
aber because the Kaiser said when
the world finally discovers that Ger
many is individable t,len the world will
learn how truly and profoundly great
and powerful Germany is y'understand,
the socialists felt that it wasn't right to
disagree with their fellow Germans
about it."
"Who told you the Kaiser says such
things about Germany Zapp de-
manded.
"Why, you did, didn't you?" Birsky
replied.
"Me, I never said no such thing"
Zapp cried Indignantly. What you are
saying the Kaiser says about Germany
was what President Wilson says about
America"
'Well what is the difference aDho says
it about what?" Birsky continued. "The
results would be the same anyhoW,
Zapp, aber if President Wilson says or
the Kaiser says Americanism or Ger
manism consists in utterly believing in
the principles of all nations, Zapp, and
putting them principles first above
everything, understand, then that
gives a couple nations show to argue
about their principles before they go to
war over 'em, because there is German
principles which is just so good az
American principles, Zapp, and there is
Mexican principles which amt so bad
neither. Furthermore, Zapp, when Mr..
Wilson says what he said about Amer.
lea being individable, it's just so easy
for whole nation to be all all-wrong as
all albright"
"Tell me, Birsky," Zapp said, what
are you driving into?"
81 am driving into this, Zapp," Bir-
sky said. "If all that StuSs is Ameri-
canism when Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Hughes says it, what is it when the Ka-
ser says it?"
"Germanism," Zapp replied.
Then that settles it," Birsky con-
cluded. ut amt an ism it's an tits, and
the sooner Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes
gets cured of it, the better. Am right
or wrong?"

'en1 over to big greennornS from Hun
gary and Poland. Aber to-day yet when
over in Germany women is running the
street cars, the electric light plants and
doing the heavier work that the old fel-
lers of IS and 80 amt up to exactly IN
the rolling mills and foundries, Zapp,
if loyal German subject has to write
q letter to the Emperor and finds him
self using word beginning NIT X,
y'understand, he tries to think of SUBJ
stitute word beginning with 2 or a
w, so as not to embarrass the poor
Nebich."
"He should ought to be embarrassed"
Zapp said. "a feller which is working
the way the Kaiser worked to get every
man from 16 to 60 to become a soldier,
Birsky, should ought to figure in ad-
vance what is going to happen to other
businesses besides the soldier business
in case his scheme turns out 100 per
cent successful. Also, Birsky, if all the
men from 16 to 60 is fighting as SOL
diers and all the women is busy NIT
churches, cooking and children, Birsky,
who did he expect is going to run the
street cars and the electric light plants
anyway"
3 Listen, Zapp, a feller NIT an ism is
the last one to expect his scheme is
going to turn out 100 per cent success
full" Birsky said. "In fact, Zapp, I
give the Kaiser credit that when the war
happened and he begun to realize what
he said and did in the way of militarism
to bring it about, y'understand, his feel
ings toward the whole thing was: For
the love of Mars, couldn't you take a
joke" Yes, Zapp, all them ism fellers
is the same way. When they talk of
out-and-out, one hundred per cent
Americanism oder Militarism, y'under-
stand me, if something happens where
they've got to make good their words,
understand, they all claim an allow
ance Of fifty per cent discount for en-
thusiasm"
"Sure know" Zapp said, "aber the
feller NIT militarism and Americanism
amt marker in that respect to the fel-
Ter NIT Socialism. For years already
the mayors of cities in Germany, France
England, Austria and Italy has been
getting writer's cramp from signing
permits for socialists to talk on street
corners about how the socialists of the
world is going to stand shoulder to
shoulder in case of war, Birsky, and
that there would be general strike and
that socialist was brother even if he
would be German or an Englishman
as the case may be, Birsky, and when
the war breaks out, Birsky, what hap
pens? A German socialist shoots an
English socialist NIT the same enjoy
ment like the poor feller would be John
D. Rockefeller and vici versa, and as for
standing shoulder to shoulder, Birsky.
when DR.. Liebknicht wanted to make
good on it, he found that it takes any
how two socialists to stand shoulder to
shoulder, and the last l hear he is sit
ting in jail in Germany, waiting for a
shoulder to come along"
"Well, them socialist fellers was up
against an out-and-out, one hundred per
cent Germanism, Frenchism and Eng.
lishism, Zapp," Birsky said, "and they

Jersey HOUSE FAV0RS
MILITIA IN SCHOOLS
Only Ten Votes Against Bill Pro-
viding Training for Children.
lBy Telegraph to Tie Tribune !

Trenton, n. j.. March 8.-Ihe mem
bers OF the New Jersey Legislature
demonstrated to-day that they favored
military training and preparedness
when the House passed the Pierson
bill, providing for military training OF
boys and girls in the high schools OF
the state. There were only ten votes
against the bill, and most Of these were
cast against it because earlier in the
day the Oliphant resolution was
passed. This resolution authorizes the
appointment Of commission to inve5tl-
gate the question of military training
in the schools and to report back 70 the
Legislature. NJ.
Under the provisions OF the Person
bill two hours of the week shall be de-
voted to military training IN the hlgh
schools. The present course IS 10 ne
arranged by the State Board OF Educa %
ton. in cooperation with the adJulant
general The boys will receive straight
military training in the handling or
arms. marching, etc, and the girls VIII
be taught nursing and kindred sub
iects. An appropriation OF Sl5OOOO Is
provided TO begin the instruction.
Governor Fielder to-day returned 10
the House the Godfrey bill TO reorgan-
ize the Department of Labor, and TO
extend the term of the present LABOR
Commissioner. General Lewis ]. bry-
ant. by two years. General Bryant, IS
Republican and the bill extends MS
term over that of Governor Fielder, a
Democrat. The Governor, IN his veto
message. characterized the bill as a
vicious piece of legislation and sai1
that if General Bryant is so competent
that no one has ability enough TO take
his place he should be given a htee
term. This is one of the big bills OF
the session and the Governors action
will no doubt lead TO an attempt to pass
il over the veto.
The House passed Assemblyman
Simpsons bill providing a 81 license
on cats, the money TO 80 TO the over
seers OF the Poor. This class OF DIS
is seldom reported out OF committee
when they reach the Senate. The House
also passed the ates bill to regulate

Agitators Were a. Work

"But we DO find that without question
the men assembled in the riotous mob

feeling of loyalty for their foreign gov

with which the men were then employed.
although the evidence against such agi-
tators has TO date not been sufficiently
direct as to warrant indictments against
