SPLIT AMONG SOCIALISTS
Number of Them Would Sustain
Presidents War Action.
limited Press Dispatch.1


st. Louis, April IA split in the
socialist party ranks over the ques-
ton of Americas entrance into the
war may be caused at the convention
here today by eleven men heretofore
prominent in socialist councils who
have issued a manifesto supporting
President Wilson's course against
Germany, even to point of war.
Charles Edward Russell, writer
and socialist leader, was one of, the
signers.
"a few weeks ago." Russell said:
"The executive committee of the
socialist party issued manifesto
purporting to declare that majority
of the members of the party opposed
war with Germany. A minority OF
the party has now joined in mani
festo setting forth our belief that
the executive committees declaration
is betrayal of democracy; that is
far from representing the belief of
all socialists, and that, on the con-
trary, socialists should support the
president against Germany and
should condemn in every possible
way, Germany's course in the war.
Among the signers to this mani
festo are: ]. G. Phelps Stokes, Will
liam English Walling, Upton Sin
clair, Charlotte Perkins Gilman,
William ]. Client, Leroy Scott, r. w.
Bruere, William l.. Stoddard, Walter
e. Kruesi and his wife, Charlotte
Kimball Kruesi and myself"

PRESERVE SWAN LAKE
That Is Purpose of the S. M. G. F
and p. Association.
From TUESDAYS Daijy

For the purpose of preserving Swan
Lake as hunting, boating and fish
ing resort, the Southern Minnesota
Game, Fish and Bird Protective league
held a meeting last evening at the
Hotel Heinrich. A movement has
been started by certain residents and
landowners of that vicinity to have
the lake lowered under the state drain
age law. 1t is feared by members OF
the league that if the lake is low
cred, it will later be drained away
altogether The league takes the
ground that the lake is an object
Of public utility and ought not to be
drained. 1t is expected that the mat
ter will come before Judge Olson of
the district court, located at New
Ulm. 1t was decided to have this
matter taken up by a committee of
five, of which II. J. La Due of st.
Peter will be chairman, and which
will represent various sections.
1t was largely attended meeting,
about twenty five being present. These
included quite number from st.
Peter Among these were J. A.
Poetz, c. II. Jackson. II. ]. La Due,
Mr. Bittner, Mr.. Maves and others.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. f. E. Heidel, the president of
the league. The principal speakers
were Attorney J. w. Schmitt, H. ].
La Due and J. A. Poetz.

sand girls were employed at the

No official of the company was found

plot to destroy the plant.
Explosion In Pellet Room.
The first explosion occurred in the
pellet room of the shrapnel building
where 100 girls were employed. In
an adjoining building approximately
10000 shells were stored. The Sec
ond explosion demolished this build
ing. The plant had been thoroughly
guarded At night immense search
lights made the grounds as light as
day. In addition secret service men
worked in various departments dis
guised as munition workers. The
plant originally was constructed soon
after the European war started by
the Baldwin Locomotive interests Re-
Gently it was taken over by the Rus
sian government, which has been en-
ploying 10000 hands.

Lieut. enant- Colonel Oliver Duane OF
the Second Minnesota Regiment M
n. G., headquarters in st. Peter was
in Mankato today, and to The Free
Press he made the following state
ment relative to the charges MAIDS
against him by Colonel w. Il. Molli-
son of Faribault, and the court mar
tial proceedings that are to follow:
Colonel Molison was elected to
the office he holds on May "a, 1917
About the middle of the following
month the Second was called to the
colo-s and sent to the Mexican Dor
der, where it spent six months. That
is sufficient length of time for an
officer to show his real merit, and
demonstrate his capabilities, Or lack
of them.
During our service on the border
majority of the officers of the reg
iment came to regard Colonel Molli-
sons election as an unfortunate mis-
take, and while we were 1t F2Il
Smelling a petition was prepared ask
ing him to resign. 1t has been sign
ed by the company commanders OF
eight of the twelve lettered COM
panies of the regiment, one other be-
ing in hearty sympathy with tho
movement. 1t bears the signatures
of seventeen officers; ten more are
favorable; four officers have ex-
pressed no preference, and eight are
supporters of the colonel 1t is rea-
oln thof fop
Colonel Mollison's retirement is gen
eral throughout the regiment, and
that it is advocated by responsible Of
ficers.
"Circulation of the petition was
fastened by the imminence of call
into service against Germany, the
officers with whom l am Unidentified

men and themselves to protest against
being sent into actual campaign I'M

mander.
Officers Out of Sympathy.
at had been hoped that Colonel
Mollison, when presented with indis-
putable evidence that big majority
of his best officers were out of SYM
pathy with his admin 'stration, would
consent to resign. This he has re-
fused to consider, and accordingly a
formal complaint against him was
lodged with Governor J. A. A. Burn
quist Saturday morning At my re-
quest Colonel Mollson was present,
accompanied by his adjutant, Cap
tain II. S. Nelson of Owatonna,
when the complaint was presented
Representatives were made to the
general effect that he is an ineffi-
,cients officer, and his removal will be
asked for on those grounds.

was issued last Friday, and while
have not seen the charges and speci-
fications, | am informed that I am
accused of conduct prejudicial to
good order and military discipline.
