SOCIALISTS AR ! LABQR|NG TO
 END WAR

AMSTERDAM Netherlands. Feb. To- - Dutch Socialists conceive 1t to be their special task to bring together their comrades of the belligerent na- tions for common action against the war. In this they have so far not suc- ceeded owing chiefly to the refusal of the French and German Socialists to cooperate to this end, according to MT. Schaper declared, was the cause of the European war and it rebounds to the credit of the Socialists of all J. H. Schaper, the principal spokes- man of the Social-Democratic Party at its conference just held here.
 Competition fomented by capitalism, nations that they have everywhere protested against it. Except in Ger many" interrupted a heckler, where upon Schaper angrily retorted that in Berlin two days before the war the streets resounded with anti-war songs and cries for peace The speaker de- nied that the war had shown the falli- bility of Socialistic principles, and af firmed that on the contrary they had fully justified themselves. The war, he contended. has proved that Social ism is not an unattanable ideal, and he pointed out that the state regula- ton of food supplies and the estab- lishment of maximum prices on the Inecessaries of life, as adopted at the present time in most European coun- tries, was the first step towards the realization of the Socialistic idea of distribution.

CONGREGATIONAL
CHlJRCHCONCERT
WAS VERY GOOD

The concert program which was
rendered at the Congregational church
Tuesday evening was carried out as
advertised and every number was de-
lightfully rendered and heartily en-
cored. The church platform was beau
tifully decorated for the occasion
which added to the pleasure of the
concert. Each performer acquitted
themselves with credit and willingly
responded to encores. The attendan e
was nearly one hundred persons all of
whom We're highly appreciative of the
evenings program. The committee of
ladies who had the concert in charge
received many compliments for the
excellent program and manner in
which it was handled and the general
success of the undertaking. Their ef-
forts were crowned with success.

BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berne, May 3.-"My son and his
regiment knew how to die but they
didn't know how to fight" The Eng
lish father who said this of his dead
soldier son who had been trained only
three months paints a picture of the
plight of the average American if the
United States were plunged into war
and needed millions of troops quick
It's all right to know how to die, they
say here in Switzerland, but it's bet
ter to know how to fight. By fighting
you lessen your chance of dying. A
soldier hasn't got any right to die, un-
less there's nothing else for him to do
Fighting today is an exact science.
Read abook of military Instructions
1t tells you every last thing soldier
ought to do, in every possible contin-
gency. Master militarists have work
ed it all out and put it down. Swiss
| citizen-soldiers know how to do twen-
ty different things in apinch, before
they resort to dying. They know how
to die too if it comes to that. How
long does it take a Swiss youth to
learn how to fight instead of die :?
How long would it take an American
youth to learn the same thing? Just
one hundred and ffty-three daysl Of
forty-eight years, a Swiss citizen-sol-
der gives half a year to learning how
to be one of the best soldiers in the
world In all this time he is forced to
fire only 1000 shots He does fire
more, it is true, because his 1000
shots teach him that sharpshooting in
the open air is more fun than kelly
pool shooting in a smoke filled room.
Switzerland is full of shooting clubs.
One hundred and forty-three days in
camp and the firing of a rife 1000
times in twelve years and you've got
your crack Swiss private soldier. Two
/ hundred and thirty-eight days, taken
out of a lifetime, makes corporal.
A sergeant is made in 282 days and a
lieutenant spends 402 days, out of his
entire life, to learn his job A cap
tain of forty-eight years has put in
58S days, altogether. These periods

Of learning and experience are spread
over long stretch of time. The first
bit is sixty-fve days. When you're
twenty years old, you go into mill
tary school for that time. You don't
give up your job to do it, either Let
your boss try to give your job to some
body else while you're gone, no mat
ter whether you're a bank clerk or a
farm hand; he'll go to jail if your job
isn't open for you when you come
back. What's more, if he has any
pride at all, he'll pay you your wages
while you're gone Let his neighbors
find out he didn't and they'll cut him
dead. The next year, when you're
twenty-one, you'll troop off in the sum
mer to military camp where you'll
spend eleven days and every summer
after that, for 10 summers, you'll
spend eleven days in camp. By this
time you're thirty-twO years old and,
at that age, you pass out of the reg
ular army into the landwehr. You'll
do eleven days every four years, until
you have served an additional twen-
ty-two days. So you've served in all,
153 days. All this time, from the day
you left the military school when you
were twenty, you've had your rife,
uniform, field kit and ammunition
hanging up on handy nail at home
ready to take down and march off with,
/ if the call to arms was sounded. He's
a betetr man than you are, Mr.. Aver
age American Citizen and you'd adj
nit it if you walked the streets of
these Swiss towns. You'd know how
to die, in pinch; but any man knows
that. This fellow knows how to fight
! (Artiele No. 4 points out that ply
sically and as soldier, the average
Swiss, thanks to his military system,
appears to be a better man, man for
man, than the average male Ameri-
cam.

AMERICAN
ACHIEVEMENTS

The electrification of 440 miles of
the main line of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul Railway, between Har-
lowton, Mont, and Avery, Idaho,
across the Great Continental Divide,
and the digging of the Panama Canal,
stand linked as the greatest engineer
ing achievements of this generation.
The Canal ushers in new era in
ocean travel~-the milwaukee, cleo
trification heralds new era in trans
continental railroading, mastering for
ever the stupendous obstacles of the
mountains, carrying traffic over the
massive barriers with ease and with a
pronounced saving in cost; decidedly
improving train operation, practically
eliminating all trouble from cold and
snow; making mountain travel clean
and mountain vistas clear, and by pro-
ducing power from mountain water
falls instead of from coal, taking a
definite step to conserve the worlds
resources. The milwaukee" is ever to
the fore in increasing travel comforts
and pleasures. The accomplishment
of the first extensive main line elec

item in the long list of its pioneering
achievements.
