PREPAREDNESS. - In reply to
Jack Doyle's article in which he
boosts the Swiss military training
system, l wish to inform him and
others who may fall for this modi-
fed scheme of military training that
in spite of the preparedness parade,
the distribution of the leaflet entitled
Invasion of America" advertising
matter with smooth and catchy dope
hung on all loop district mail boxes,
the One-sided and persistent dope of
all pr6stituted newspaper editorials,
the sUppressing of Henry FOrd's
views on preparedness, the coming
Of the new preparedness quarter,
the establishing of publicity and
advertising bureaus throughout the
country the last two years, and
many other instances of the desper-
alton of business men to force mill
tary training on us, only shows it has
all been a miserable failure.
The Swiss system is only a modi-
fed scheme to catch such suckers
as would fall for this one-sided, pros
tituted dope of business. Able
speakers of the working class have
challenged and would welcome de-
bate with any of the prostituted edi-
tors and business interests on this
subject, who, on the other hand,
would force us to the slaughter with
out a chance to debate our side of it.
Business men and their DrOstitHted
tools have so far refused to debate
this most important subject with N
teligent representative and able
speakers of the working class.
We. are not interested in prepared
ness or the subway proposition I'M
der any circumstances. Keep this
clear and don't fall for the compro-
mise Of business men and their tools.

CROSS CURRENTS.-That article
of yours, which so graphically pic
tured the cross-puTposes between the
editorial and the bUsiness-managing
departments of newspapers and the
same cross-purposes as seen in the
preacher. between the teacher of him
and the necessary business man of
him, was simply immense.
When these cross-pUrposes are
coupled, as they are in the compact
organization of newspaper staff, or
the still more concrete personality Of
the preacher, they Immediately and
directly act and react mutually
checking and restraining each other.
But the principle of these same
cross-purpOses is of universal appE-
cation throughout the whole realm Of
human activities, individual and col
lectiVe.
In the larger sphere of our social
activities, where these cToss-pur-
poses are not so closely coupled and
their relations not so easily dlscerned
as in the concreter instance Of press
and pulpit, as you pictured them, the
action and reaction is on a tremend-
ously larger scale and comes with
smash and a bang, when these cross
purposes collide, each being repre-
sented by a colossal social group.

other war equipment. Those who have
come out of Turkey during the last few

that is to the effect that Turkey is
heartily tired of the domination Of
Germany. Even the leaders recognize
that they went into this war not for
any possible gain to Turkey, but with
every opportunity of losing everything.
