WAR AND WORKERS.

WAR AND WORKERS. - Henry
Wise Wood of the Security league in
a debate with James Maurery on pre-
paredDess, held under the auspices
of the Young People Socialist League
of Bronx, N. Y, said: ct will be you
who win be sent to the front if war
be declared, whether you desire it or
not And this in the free republic Of
the u. S. A, in the country where at
the entrance of it stands the Statue
of Liberty. It viii be you, boys, who
work in stores, Offices, shops, mines
and elsewhere. It will be you who
produce everything, but do not pos
sess anything, that win be sent to
the front to become murderers. to
kill young men from some other
country whom you have never seen
and who have never done you any
harm"
In this free country they are not
going to ask you whether you want
to kill or not. But who are they?
They are the capitalists of this or
any other country. They are the
ones who own and control the presi-
dent, the congress, the senate, the
press, and they own you. You be-
long to, them. You are a product
which they buy or sell. They can tell
you should work, how much you

should get in order to exist so that
you can reproduce more slaves. And
when you have worked too long
hours and produced too much they
throw you out in the street; and in
fear that you may protest they tell
you that the workers of some other
country are your enemies and you
must fight them.
And you are so ignorant that you
shout War! Death to themw To
whom? To your brethren, to men
you have never seen. The same is
true in the other country.
Is it not time that you should turn
your guns and fight your real enemy
the capitalists? You have weap-
on which is stronger than the hills Of

is the vote. Fire at your enemies by
voting for your own meR-men Of

Peterson saw the burglar while he

intruder ran downstairs. Peterson
followed. The burglar leaped
through the window and Peterson

A
Rumored Presidents Friend House
Will Sound Possibilities.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. Re
newed expressions of readiness to
enter peace negotiations, coming
from Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hol-
wegg in an interview published to-
day, have caused a revival of spec
ulation here about peace possibilities.
Predictions are made in pro-Ger-
man circles known to be in close
touch with the German emassay that
if the Teutons capture Bucharest and
crush Rumania- as now seems prob
able-the allies will be ready to treat
for peace.
This is much doubted here in view
of the insistent statements in London
that the war must go to a finish.
Neverless, the threatened Rumanian
debacle is looked on as having pos
sibilites worth watching.
Another phase of the matter con
Germs the attitude of the new Aus
trian emperor. Talk that he may ia
vor a separate peace is taken with
much reserve but it is considered
quite possible that he may be less
completely under Prussian domino
ton than Francis Joseph and may
help along the cause of peace.
President Wilson unquestionably
stands ready any time to move for
peace, and the rumors that Col. f.
M. House is going to go to Europe
On a peace mission are exciting con
siderable attention; but, so far as
may be learned this government has
nothing from the allies which indi-
Gates they are ready to talk peace.
What is important, it seems
that they are not in a mood even to
have this government seem to force
them into peace negotiations.
