MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 8
German troops are preparing to re-
tire from FLANDERS. This is the be-
ginning of Sne end" declared Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor at a luncheon
given in his honor by the Civic and
Commerce association today.
Gompers arrived here to attend
the convention of the American ALI
ance for Labor and Democracy
which opened today with 200 dele
gates representing organized labor
and socialism present.
Il today Saw by the papers that the
Germans are preparing for retreat
from Flanders Gompers said. That
lis the beginning of the end. Out from
France, out from Belgium, the Ger
mans will be forced, and the world
will have set in motion a desirable
and permanent peace and the people
of all nations can then work out their
low ndestinies and their own ideals
Governor Burnquist welcomed the
delegates.
Eve all believe in peace, but we
realize that peace cannot come SO
long as military .autocracy controls
the German empire We must be
united, regardless of creed, national
ty or class, behind our great COM
mander-in-chief, Woodrow Wilson"
he declared.

Il hate war and its effects But

CHATHAM, N. Y, Sept. 5.-Con-
scription of war profits TO meet war
expenses was demanded today by
Colonel Roosevelt,
Speaking at the Columbia county
fair here he declared himself in ia
vor of a very heavily graduated tax
on the excess profits due to war con-
ditions: "a tax as heavy as Great
Britain has now imposed"
The highest British war tax is
eighty per cent.
Heavily graduated inheritance and
income taxes are also necessary,
Roosevelt asserted. He said they
should follow the English and Ger
man models.
I'm the purchases made by the gov
eminent" Roosevelt declared, 1T
ought to pay prices high enough to
enable not merely the big manufac-
iturers, but their smaller and less adj
yantageously situated rivals to Sc
cure a generous living profit. This
means that the big manufacturers
would have excess profits and the
proper way to reach these is by tax
ing them heavily. If the government
fails to follow such action, If 1t fol-
lows a course of INDIGESTION and de-
lay. the result will be as bad as 1t
has already proved in the matter of
building ships.
"At present what is most needed is
a heavily-a very heayiiy-graduated
tax on the excess profits due TO war
conditions; tax as heavy as Great
Britain has now imposed"
Roosevelt attacked, as enemies
Of the United States" the war
profiteers, workingmen who refuse
first class work for first class wage,
pro Germans, professional pacifists,
those advocating peace without vic
tory" the T. w. w. and the socialist
party machaine.
Demanders of peace except "the
peace of a complete victory over the
brutalized and Prussianized Germany
OF the Hchenzollerns." were de-
nounced by Roosevelt as "enemies
to this country and to mankind"
The colonel verbally dashed "shilly
shallying" in war preparations and
Americas unpreparedness.
a'It took Germany less than seven
months to conquer France in 1870"
he declared, "aud now after these
seven months OF war preparation we
are still nothing like as formidable
as Belgium or Rumania."
He advised against war Dragging"
and recited the following to empha-
size h;s point:
Whats the use
OF all this Dragging up and down,
When three women and enc goose
Make a market in your town."
| After denouncing Germany's war
fare as "hideous beyond belief, OBJ
scene, cruel, brutal and unspeakably
foul he branded German language
! papers as "scandaio..vfy disloyal' to

scent exempted from army duty
