Spargo Scores
Socialist Regulars.

The attitude Of the Socialist party
toward tn" war is called "aubVerSiEe
OF civilization and morality" by John
Spargo, formerly member of the
party's national executive committee,
In an article in the Atlantic Monthly
Ignoring the assaults of Germany
upon the fundamental rights Of this
nation. II the Socialist partyl declared
/ our declaration OF war To be "A crime
against the people of the United States
and against III" nations Of the world -
says Spargo 1T placed our entrance
INTO the war on a lower scale than
Austrtas war upon Serbia OF Ger
manN's upon Belgium: In all modern
history there has been no war more
unjustifahIe than the war III which
we are about 10 cugag e,' II declared
that no single government was TO
blame for tho war and that the war
was not the concern of the workers
1t made no distinction between the
Belgian workers fighting to repel an
invading foe and the German workers
fighting - subdue n neutral and
{ friendly nation.
This is the antlthoSis OF historic
socialism. In til. circumstances, sim
ply as statement of principles which
should guide Socialists. the resolution
l$ remarkable for Its abandonment of
the principles of internationallsm
! which from the days of Marx have
guided tn" movement. 1t places the
Socialists who accept it in direct OPP
/ position to all uprisings and wars for
National independence, According to
! TINS declaration of principles. no people
can b" justified ia arminG itself to
] r"p"l INVASION by barbarian hordes
/ such doctrine is subVerSivc of civil
| ization and morality and no movement
! based upon it can ever gain the SUP
! port Of the best clements of mankind "

Voices of the Hills

The voices of the hills are calling me,
Birches whisper Come thou back
again"
Signing clms in loneliness complain,
The oaks are deep in dreams enthrall-
ing me
Tire blue setrsTasaseee- their secrets for
my ears,
Thrnshes do not sing with me away,
The robin but begins his roundelay,
And the whip poor-wil is stilled by
lonely fears.
The little paths would trodden be
again.
Flowers would feel the Joy of my
carcsS,
Bending ferns their loneliness confess,
The gentle blucbel|s ring a sad re-
frain.
oh hush the city's noise and silent be
Its traffic aud its praise of empty art
\ longing for the hills fills III my
heart
The hills so old, so young, SO strong
and free.
The voices of the hills are calling me.

Industrial CONSUMPTION
for War Purposes.

Efficient mobilization of the Amer
lean industrial army is as necessa ~
as capable military action. says Harold
q. Moulton, writing in the North
american Review. Upon the organi-
zation Of our Industrial resources, he
believes, depends the success of our
cause. Why not. he then asks, resort
to CONSUMPTION of industry as well as
Of men"
To produce none or only a few mill
tary necessities IN order that the ordi-
nary demands of American consumers
may DO gratified would be folly, argues
the writer. Another alternative--that
Of speeding production to the extent
1 necessary to meet both military and
pace needs-would be costly and in

There remains but one course which
means that labor and capital must be
shifted from the places that do not
count to the places that do count in
tn" task we are undertaking. IT means
that capital and labor now being used

HIS WEDDING UNIFORM.

From story told in Little Rock 1t
would appear that a certain young
man of that town was terrified by the
conventionalities that appeared to him
to he necessary in the case of his
marriage to a girl of that town.
The youth sent letter to large
clothing concern in New York to ask
What is the proper dress for a
groom
Now, it seems that the clerk who
opened the mail referred this inquiry
to the livery department. and that the
head thereof dictated a brief reply
Bottle green coat. fawn -colored
trousers. with top boots, silk hat with
cockadc. We can quote you prices as

In a short time came this plaintive
letter from the young man in Little
Rock:

get married. but can't you suggest
