Seeks Sovereign Power
In America

"The Assembly will make its own
plans and address the government as
a popular will like the Russian Coun-
Gil of Workmen and Soldiers" says
the literature sent out.
And again, I'VE propose, therefore,
that this conference commit itself to
the immediate organization of a Peo-
Piles Council modelled after the Coun-
Gil of the Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates, which is the sovereign
power in Russia to-day. 1t is hoped
that our own Peoples Council will
voice the peace will Of America as un-
mistakably and effectively as the
Council of Workmens and Soldiers
Delegates is speaking for Russia"
The people among whom it is hoped
to find adherents are farmers oranges
and unions, trade unions, socialist To-
calls, branches of the Consumers
League, single tax leagues, peace So
cieties, church and civic clubs, moth
ers' clubs, parents and teachers as
sociations, etc. II states that it now
has thirty councils formed in Chi
cago, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia,
San Francisco, st. Louis, Atlanta,
Seattle, Montgomery, Detroit and other
large cities. Forty other local coun-
ellis under Why. One million two hun
dred thousand Americans represented
in these bodies. Six organizers cover
ing as many sections Of the country.
Three hundred and seventy-eight local
organizations directly affiliated with
the Peoples Council OF America"

Sergeant Vida Henry, who was killed,
was the ringleader and organizer Of the

A tour of the city and conferences

Government Opposers
Flock to the Union

An organization of the same gem
eral character as the American Union
Against Militarism, but more danger
Gus, for the reason that all classes of
people opposed to the government ap-
pear to be very rapidly connecting
themselves with it in the hope that it
will be the great force to psralyze the
activities of the government in the
war, is the Peoples Council. 1t is sup
ported by the German propaganda and
every shade of anti-patriotic and un-
American opinion, from the extreme
anarchist type to the Woman's Peace
Party. It's literature is being circu-
lated from one end of the country to
the other, and it seems to have back
OF it unlimited money resources,
though it is constantly appealing for
funds.
The Peoples Council came into ex-
istepce at the Conference for Democ-
racy and Terms of Peace held in New
York May 80 and 81. The organiza-
ton committee elected at that time
included Max and Crystal Eastman
these two whose names are found in
the lists of nearly every un-American
and seditious movement started in the
country. The secretaries chosen were
Lila Fay Secor, Rebecca Shelley and
Elizabeth Freeman.
This organization does not pretend,
as does the American Union Against
Militarism, that it expects to work
in close cooperation with the Federal
officials at Washington" It states eX-
pressly that its object is to control
the government.

But Reichstag Socialist Does
Not Think Submarine War

STRIFE PROL ONGED BY U. S.

Rv the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM. via London. March =.
6I5 am-Dr Albert .. v. Suedekum,
one of the best known leaders of the
majority socialists in the reichstaE, IN
an interview here with the correspond
ent of the Associated Press, said that
whoever thought the submarine war
was going to bring England to starva-
tion in six months was deceivinG HIM
self He added, however, that such
result was not necessary for German
victory. which he declared was certain,
with indemnity.
DR.. Suedekum said he was convinced
that England hitherto had been send
ing only enough troops to the continent
to keep her allies contented, but that
now it was necessary for her to change
her course. He declined to hazard 4
prediction on the result of the posi-
BILE participation of America in the war
on the side of the entente. but added:
Anyhow, America has been virtually
in the war practically since the begin

No Danger of Food Shortage.

In reference to q statement attrlh-
uted to former Ambassador Gerard that
the food situation might affect Ger
r,rany's military strength. DR.. Suede
kun said:
There is not the slightest danger of
that. even in the Improbable event of
the war lasting year or two more.
If other foods fail We can increase our
meat rationS. We have la.00o.Un0 swine
today and the normal number before
the war was only about 1870, zoo. We
have about 100000 cattle, against
peace normal of about 100000 or L..
100000 more. If necessary could
butcher all but d minimum number of
brood animals.
"rhe extree cold of the last weeks
made it impossible to transport pota-
toes and we had only one or two
pounds weekly for each consumer in
the big cities. If the people had been
required by regulation thus to limit
consumption they would have conSld-
cred il impossible. but when faced by
hard necessity they did it with the re-
suit that we have an additional months

reckoned II is true short of
food, but We are not starving
Talks of Split in Socialist Ranks.
In regard to the split in the social
ist party DR.. Suedekum said:
The small minority which broke
away from the old party is merely
sort of safety valve for blowing off
the pressure of discontent. There is
bound to be a certain number of dis
gruntled individuals and malcontents
in every party, even in normal times
and naturally much more SO in time of
war. These people must have an out
let for their discomfort and the seced-
ing socialists furnish this outlet The
secession movement is of no conse-
quence. the seceders themselves being
split into various groups. l predict
these divisions will disappear with the
coming of peace
Once Lectured in q. S.
DR.. Suedekum is recognized as an
expert on municipal problems and is
well known in the United States, where
he delivered q series of lectures in 1910
At the outbreak of the war he went to
Italy to try to persuade the Italian
socialists to support italian interven-
tion on the side of Germany. Later he
was decorated with the Iron Cross for
his services at the front.
