il would be best the war should stop
as soon as possible. Every friend of
the Russian Revolution would like
peace to be concluded as quickly as
possible. No matter how much one
may sympsthize with the Allies and
their aims, he will be forced 10 admit
that the Russian Revolution is more
important than any Of the Allies
aims, and even all the aims Of the
Allied nations put together. What
Importance has, for instance, the
question of Alsace-Lorraine compared
to the Russian Revolution?
THE liberty of Russia, the free
dom of the greatest nation on earth,
the freedom of country which
covers one-sixth of the globe, is the
most important result, the greatest
gain, in the present war, but the
longer the war continues the bigger
will be the danger for the great Rus
sian revolution.
zone may consider the continuance
of the war as most vital and de-
sirable, but every one will concede
that il will be impossible for the
Russian people to settle these two
gigantic problems at once. One thing
has to be sacrificed in favor of the
other; either the war for the revo-
luton. or the revolution for the war.

Trescas Syndicalist 'L'Avvenire" Calls Americas
War One of Conquest Forward Declares
Nation for Peace

From all over the Atlantic seaboard
from California, from Florida, from
New Mexico and even from far prov
inces in Canada, members Of the In
dustrial Workers of the World are
sending money into New York City to
aid Carlo Tresca, editor of "bAvven-
ire" in his fight against the suppress
sion of his paper by the postal au-
thorities.
1t was this proc German organ of syn
dicalism and other isms of industrial
unrest that was denied the use of the
mails on July 16 and readmitted two
weeks later. In the mean time the edi-
tor had mailed an appeal to some of
his readers, urging them to contribute
TO his "holy cause In the current
issue of his sheet he publishes the
names and addresses of some of the
contributors. They number more than
three hundred and represent twenty
six states of the Union, as well as
three provinces in Canada. Naturally,
most of them are from the vicinity Of
New York, but the Pacific Coast and
the Middle West are not absent in the
list. The amounts contributed are
given for only part of the list.
The first issue in August of iL'Av-
venire," which is published in Italian,
was quite mild as compared with Its
nrevious anti-American diatribes, but
current issue conforms more nearly to
the real intentions of the editor. as in
dicated in his appeal to his readers for
aid. This appeal was addressed to
those who, reading "L'Avvenire," have
felt growing In your hearts faith in
a tomorrow of revenge" and desire
TO draw within "our orbit others lam
gushing under the yoke Of the bour-
peoi sic"

Russell Is Denounced
AS Mere War Patriot

Every friend of the Russian revo-
Luton may, therefore, wish peace
the earlier the better-and if Ed
ward Russell claims that any one
speaking now of peace is committing
treason. then we must say that Ed
ward Russell is more war patriot
than friend of the Russian revolu-
ton.
Should Russell's war patriotism,
however, not have been cooled down
while being in Russia he might at
least, and most probably, be moved
to a different view, and his eyes will
probably open TO witness how much
opposed to war the American people
are, and that the Washington gov
eminent has forced the war upon the
people and against their wish.
"The peace movement in the
United States is growing daily. The
World correspondent in Washington
publishes the sentiments of the Con-
gressmen and Senators about the
war, and his outlooks are not pleas
ant ones for the war patriots.
ale reports that the sentiments of
the Representatives have lately begun
to differ. The reports they receive
from their districts are against the
war, the peace movement becomes
stronger and stronger and the peo-
pie are very much dissatisfied with
the present government and with
Congress, though to save the situa-
ton they try to influence the Presi
dent, that he should do something to
arouse the patriotism and weaken
the growing desire for peace.
at Is to be doubted whether the
President will be able to do anything
in this direction. His war speeches
have helped little until now to arouse
the war enthusiasm, and there is
little hope that he will have any fur
Their success.
when America stepped into the
war the people did not understand
the whole seriousness of the situa-
ton. and remained Indifferent toward
all that had been done by the govern
ment and Congress.
"But when the people began to un-
derstand the whole gravity of the
misfortune which has been brought
upon them they passed from indif-
ference to open enmity.
"And should Edward Russell cling
to his opinion that he who speaks
now about peace is traitor, then he
will have to declare a good 80 per
cent Of the American population as
traitors"

he continues, "for democracy the pub
lie treasure is being depleted and the
blood Of the people poured out in tor
rents, the democracy of the United
States, the little of it that is left, is
being replaced by an individual govern
ment possessing characteristics sim
liar to those of the cherished absolut-
ism of Old Russia"
1t is in the same vein that one of
the contributors makes a still more
vicious attack on the American war
programme and urges his readers to
be vigilant in their defence of the
rights of citizens %. "If we look
around u.s. he writes, in a leading ar
ticle on the front page of "L'Avvenire,
1--WE are compelled to conclude that, in
this land of democracy and liberty
the sacrifices and martyrdoms Of the
past have been in vain. The persecu-
ton of T'Avvenire' is only an incident
in the vast programme of reaction in
augurated by the international plutoc-
racy in its union with the Republic of
the Dollar.
"While the liberal press is perse-
cuted not for what it says but for
what it might say, the writers in the
pay of the Wall Street gang or of the
police arc actively engaged in an in
decent war of reaction, exciting the
rage of the people and practising de-
nunciations and urging the government
TO a rigorous policy of imprisonment,
executions and deportation of all those
who do not agree with the democratic
war;

"The Russian Socialists speak

if the Allies would only have listened
better to the Russian Socialists,
peace would already have been very
imminent. The Russian Socialists
continue the war not because they
are convinced of its necessity to be
carried on any further, but because
they are forced by the Allies to con-
tinue the fight.

Lincoln. Three years of fooling is
about long enough for most of us.
Attitude of the Workers
"All the international conferences of
governments since 1914 have talked
about anneXations, indemnities, repara-
ton, restitutions, and economic war
after the war. But the international
conference at Stockholm will talk about
no annexations, no indemnities, revo-
luton, reconstruction and reconcilia-
ton. For those are the things that
the workers of England, France, Rus
STA and Germany care most about now
adays. And the workers of America
are not Indifferent to them either.
But Mr.. Gompers and Mr.. Lansing
think that it would be unsafe for
democracy TO have any Americans 20
to Stockholm. The only passports that
Mr.. Lansing will grant to Americans
are passports to the trenches. If
President Wilson were standing for
reelection next October the slogan He
kept us out of Stockholm would not
get him many votes.
But passports or no passports, the
workers of America will soon make
themselves heard. They will speak
through the great constituent assem-
bly, Of the Peoples Council of Ameri-
ca. Mayor Van Lear of Minneapolis
has officially informed the Peoples
Council of the cordial welcome that
awaits them in this city.
Delegates Already Appointed
an Minneapolis the Council will take
up the sword for world peace and in
dustrial democracy. Already hundreds
of organizations representing every
section of our national 4ife, labor,
agriculture, education socialism, re-
ligion. have appointed delegates.
Among the subjects 10 be discussed
are: Americas war aims and terms
of peace, international organization;
labor standards, taxation, high cost Of
living, constitutional rights, democratic
control of foreign policy, and con-
scription."
1t was announced at the Peoples
Council headquarters in this city yes
terday that the suggestions for ma
tional reconstruction of the Peoples
party. established recently by the Brit
ish National Council of Workmen and
Soldiers, would be proposed in modified
form AT MlHHtdpOllS. j ne iutdS "tlS
set forth in "The Herald" a labor
weekly which circulates freely in
Great Britain, but which, it is said,
is not permitted to be sent abroad. A
copy of the newspaper report, how
ever, was struggled to this country,
and reprinted yesterday in "The Bull
letin."
Would Have Titles Abolished
Accepting Lloyd Georges motto-"be
audacious"- those who are planning
the reconstruction of Great Britain, the
new party asks that the House Of
Lords be abolished, and in its place
be established "a chamber based on the
representation, not of geographical
areas. but of occupations, industrial,
professional and domestic" 1t also
asks that all titles and state-granted
titles be abolished.
The programme also calls for the
expropriation Of private landowners
and capitalists, and urges that all men
and women willing to work be paid
even when their work happens not to
be- needed. State ownership Of funda-
mental industries, maternity BENEFITS,
full political rights to all men and
women, and old-age pensions are among
other proposals made.

The Masses Again

of Mails to Two Radical
Magazines
O'Leary to Seek Writ
Ready to Carry Fight Against

Court

"The Masses" the radical anti-war
magazine, lost another engagement
yesterday in its series of conflicts with
Postmaster Thomas G. Patten. And
the forces of discomfort received an
other blow yesterday when "The Bull
Jeremiah OLesry's periodical, learned
that Postmaster General Burleson had
decided at a hearing at Washington
that the July and August issues were
unavailable under the provisions of the
espionage act.
Because the August number Of
"The Masses" which the postoffice de-
clared unavailable, did not go through
the mails, Postmaster Patten wrote
Merrill Rogers, the business manager,
yesterday that the publication was not

LEGATION" within the meaning of the
law governing mailable matter Of the
second class, and Furthermore was not
regularly issued at stated intervals as
a newspaper or other periodical pub
LEGATION, and therefore was not en-
titled to 60 through the mails at sec
ond class rates of postage.
VIII Seek Injunction
L. s. Bedford, managing editor Of
"The Bull" said that an injunction
against the postoffice authorities would
be sought, and that meantime the
magazine would be sold on the news
stands. The legal fight, he said, may
reach the Supreme Court.
The case of "The Masses" is radical
ly different, according to its business
manager, who asserted that the Sep
TENDER number had not yet been de-
clared unavailable, although the post
Office authorities have held it up for
two weeks.
POSTMASTER Patten would not per-
nit US to send the August number
through the mails" Mr. Rogers de-
clared, land now he has penalized US
for not sending it through. He has
used Judge Hough's stay of Judge
Hands injunction to stop him from
denying us the privilege of the mails
as a basis for his technical trick TO
ruin US. Judge Hough's decision pre-
supposed that it would only affect the
August issue.

proper understanding Of the war itself,

we should first have a correct under
