Germany Said To Have

instrumentation
lRv Associated Press

Copenhagen, Nov. S.-The Lokal
Anzeiger, Of Berlin, organ OF the
annexationists and great business
interests, publishes a report that at
the conferences which have been in
progress recently between German
and Austrian representatives in
Berlin, the decision was reached to
abandon entirely the pretense <of a
n-annexationist peace program
and to 20 over to the policy OF unit
ing Poland with Austria Hungary,
and Courland and Lithuania with
Germany.
This report has been neither COM
firmed nor denied in authoritative
quarters. The wish of those whom
The Lokal Anzeiger represents may
perhaps be father to the thought,
however Vienna newspapers print
ed similar reports week ago with
out evolzing a denial. Other Berlin
newspapers discuss these statements
hs entirely possible. The Socialist
organ VorWaerts lodges a decisive
protest against the idea, which, IL
vays, Is a nat negation OF Germany's
Feply to the Pope and Of the reich
stag peace resolution.

Premier Kerensky and his govern
ment have been deposed by the ex-
tremist elements in Petrograd,
plunging Russia into another Of the
numerous crises which she has been
called upon to meet this year.
The present situation seems by far
the most serious that has presented
itself, overshadowing in its poten-
tialities all the other movements of
the moment in connection with the
great war.
Danger Of Civil War.
Danger of civil war is also seen
in the pronouncement of the Rad
icals against elements in the army
that do not bow to the new regime,
and declaration Of forceful measures
against the propertied classes.
1t remains to be seen, however,
how far the Petrograd radicals will
be backed up in their movement by
the Russian democracy throughout
the nation. So far there is no hint
as to what measure of support they
may expect outside of Petrograd.
Across the Venetian. plains the
Italians continue to retire to a new
defense line where a stand probably
will be made to stop an Austro- Ger
man advance upon Venice. British
and French troops are speeding to
northern Italy to the aid OF General
Cadorna.
The invaders, Berlin announces,
have reached the Ldvenza river be-
tween the Tagliamento and the
Piave. General Cadorna has indicat-
ed that the Italians might stand on
the Livenza line, but 1t is not i'm
probable that the Piave will form
the main. part of the position. Berlin
makes no claim that the Livenza has
been crossed.
In retiring from the Tagliamento
line the Italians were not as hurried
as in the retreat from the Isonzo and
lost few prisoners and guns.
While the Tagliamento line became
untenable through the drying up Of
the river, the streams behind GEN
eral Cadorna are larger and less
susceptible to sudden changes. The
Italians also have the advantage OF

recognition of the material rights of
man these institutions are urged to
redouble their assiduity.
The American Federation of Labor,
the most influential and successful or
ganization of wage earners ever in
existence, has long stood committed to
the shorter work day and specified
rest day each week.
For more than three decades it has
been organizing discomfort and con-
structive rebellion against unfair and
unscientific economic theories and as
result over 100000 wage earners
are enrolled for this cause.
Wherever you find efforts put forth
to aid the cause of greater freedom
and humanity there you will also find
the highest paid organized wage earn
ers giving their active support. The
greatest social reforms that have been
accomplished had their inception and
inspirations in the unions of labor.
We want to be equal sharers in the
good things which an unseen hand has
distributed over this fair land of ours.
We want to raise the standard of
living where all men have equal access
by labor to the store houses of wealth.
We want the time to improve our
minds and thus increase our influence
in governmental affairs to the end that
the wage earners may themselves de-
eide whether or not they shall be de-
ployed as pawns in the volcanos of
war.
We want the right of free assem-
blage, free speech and free press.

their associates in the church they
naturally refrain from participation.
OF what use then, is there in build
ing edifices with the hope of enrolling
the great mass of wage earners until
there are opportunities provided to
develop their social desires? The
physical wants of man and those de-
pendent on him are imperative and
until they are supplied he cannot be
concerned in the spiritual. But in ad-
dition to the qualification of his natur-
al wants provision must be made that
he may meet the social tax levied as
his share of the responsibility as
sumed as the communicant of religious
institutions.
While the wage earners are prima-
rily concerned in providing for their
imperative wants, yet if the religious
institutions will exercise their infiu-
ence in the wage earners' behalf to
secure shorter hours and higher wages,
the church will not only serve a hu-
manitarian purpose, but finally become
large beneficiary. With the COM
municants of the church composed in
large measure of the wealth produc-
ers the expounders of the Christian
faith would be sustained in their free
dom of preaching the doctrine of hu-
manity and human rights rather than
the divinity of property. 1t is not my
purpose to impugn the motives of any
minister of the gospel, but the history
of events, present conditions and our
own experiences make clear the effect
of our environment. With the pres
lent trend Of the church toward a larger
