OF the social democratic forces OF the
country upon sound program Of
democratic public ownership"
Both Mr.. walling and Mr.. Stokes
insisted that the adoption Of the anti
draft resolution would be followed by
the resignation of thousands of So
ciaiists from the party. Mr.. Benson.
In announcing his intention to resign,
said that he still hoped the party
would come to it's senses and that 1t
would vote down the majority rcsolu-
ton.
According TO Mr.. Benson. the 'mass
action MS proposed by the st. Louis
resolutions against the draft might
well be taken to mean the use Of force
against conscription. He agreed with
Mr.. Spargo. too. that the committee
which drew up the resolution was per-
meatcd by pro-German sympathies.
William English WallinE felt GER
tain that the majority of the Social
lists would support the anti-draft rcso-
lutions. and that n new Socialist party
would eventually be formed by the Sc :
cialist leaders who cannot conscicnti-
ouslN remain In the present movement.
There isn't a question in my mind.
! said Mir. Walling. that We arc facing
| a disruption of the Socialist party
| which viii shake the party to its very
! foundations. There is going to be 1,
new party, and we arc just wattir,g 70,
! the action OF the referendum. If the
| referendum shows the majority OF
| the Socialists to BE in support of tn,
anti-draft resolutions, as | twink II
will, | most assurediy shall resign. AND
so will thousands of other socialists.

vouch that Upton Sinclair and, Charlie,

connection with the Socialist orEani-
zation for the same reason. Russell

be taken also to hasten a decision in
each case and to keep selected men
in suspense no longer than necessary.
Officials generally said tonight the
fact that the few states which had sent
in their complete figures at a late hour
showed with two exceptions falling off
from census estimates for total regis
t'ation, all reports from department
of justice agents and others tended, on
the contrary, to show that there was
"A surprisingly small number of
Skulkers.
Figures Received.
Total figures for the eight states
which reported up to 10 o'clock tonight
showed approximately $500 below
census estimates. Should the average
Of 1000 per state hold for all As states
this would mean a total decrease OF
about 100000.
The army. navy, marine corps and
the national guard, included in the
population figures upon which the cen
sus estimates were made, will more
than offset the decrease.

LIVING ON YOUR NERVE:

dition results that medical men call
neurasthenia.
1t is commonly met with in those
who have had keen anxieties, as those
who have cared for sick relatives, BUS
mess men who worry over their affairs
and neglect to take vacations. Women
who are too active socially, anyone who
has too much excitement and toe little
rest may show the symptoms.
The complexion becomes PAN, you
imagine unpleasant things, your brain
insists on working when you want to
go to sleep. Sometimes you are mel
ancholy. Things that used TO please
you no longer do SO. Constipation is
usually present. You worry about
yourself and your work and cannot for
get your anXieties.
No doctor can cure neurasthenia.
You have to do it yourself. The first
thing is to write to the Dr. Williams
