PROMINENT SOCIALISTS
DENOUNCE MEETING
AS KAISER SCHEME

Washington, May 11.-A group Of
Socialist leaders, including Charles
Edward Russell, William English
Walling and Ernest Poole, meeting
here, gave out statement denounc-
ing the international Socialist con-
ference called for Stockholm early in
June as "the most dangerous of all
the kaiser's plots for cashing in his
military victories, and characterize
ing the American Socialist delegates,
Morris Hillquit and Algernon Lee,
as practically pro-German.
ALI Europe HELPLESS.
The purpose Of the Stockholm con-
ference was described to promote,
particularly in Russia. the German
Socialist peace plans for mo annexa-
tions, no indemnities," which 1t; was
declared would mean return to the
conditions existing before the war,
and that all Europe would be help
less when confronted by, the new
central empire Germany has estab-
lished." - asSs4@ *sE

Every intelligent Socialist In
the world today knows that 80 per
cent of the delegates will be under
the influence of Berlin. 1t is another
attempt of the Prussian militarists to
line up the well-meaning pacifists
and working peoples of the world
for Germany's next war program
which is to result in a new empire
extending from Berlin to Bagdad." "

acres of beautiful land, and it in
volved an expenditure Of $1,000
