Social War Plans
To Raise Rebellion

"The Social War" has no idea of con-
fning itself to passive resistance. It's
mission is to raise rebellion in America.
1t continues;
This scheme must be smashed at
All hazards. We are under no
illusion as to the liberties of the
people of this country, but military
control Of the workers, with its blind
and degrading obedience. would be
step backward that might not be re-
traced for years. The workers must
not take that step! But they will
have to fight in more serious fash
ion than they are doing at the pres
ent moment if they want to prevent
being forced 10 do so. Ii is not
enough to pass resolutions. Revo-
luton - not resolutions is neces-
sary. They have only to decide def-
nitelv that they will not have con-
scription, and fold arms for a day or
two. and the thing is dead. II is not
for them 10 consider how their mas
ters will win their ar-for II is
their war. The only war the workers
need worry about is the war against
their eXploitCrs - the Landlords,
fnanciers, capitalists, politicians and
all the parasites who infest society.
These are face 20 face with them in
this country, and as long as they are
in existence there can be no liberty.
"Do you think that consumption
will be confined TO single men. As
soon as the act WAS passed the con-
scriptionists said, Now for the mar
ried shirkers' And a capitalistic
daily said:
"'The War Office acknowledges no
limit to its demand for men, and it
already has clearly in mind the idea
of demanding both the conscription
Of married men and the raising of
the military age.
"Tho idea that you can satisfy the
appetite Of militarism by sacrificing
the single men is therefore shown to
be foolish one. Resistance to con.
scription must take place here and
now, and all and every means are
justihsble."

Reitman' s Picture
Declared False

Ben L. Reitman takes the method OF
trying to influence American citizens to
resist the law by writing things that
are deliberately untrue, by drawing a
wholly imaginary picture and saying
that it is d description of existing con-
ditions. He says in Mother Earth;
"All along the French Line there
have been strikes of soldiers, but
when soldiers have guns and bombs
in their hands and are accustomed
10 killing IL takes more than mere
promises TO satisfy them. in certain
sections on the French front the sol
diers refuse TO stay in the trenches
more than three weeks. They de
mand furlough, and go back TO
Paris TO have a good time
This is unqualihedly false. But Reit-
man goes on from this untruth to draw
his conclusions. He says:
"The French anti .miitarists did not
sell their souls TO the wargods. They
are demanding that their allies, espe-
cially the English, take their places
in the trenches. And this is one Of
the reasons why the Allies are in
such a hurry 10 get the American sol
diers on French soil. The French are
getting tired of ighting for govern
ment. and are preparing to night for
themselves. II is not at all unlikely
that when our soldiers get TO Europe
they will not be ordered 10 STAY the
Germans, but will be killing French,
English and Russian soldiers who re
fuse TO fight for their fatherland'
any longer"
Rcitmsn then gives the following al
vice 10 the American soldiers:
"You may think that America is the
freest country in the world. Yet we,
the people. have no voice in making
war About three hundred men in
the House of representatives, one
hundred and fifty in the Senate and
one President have more power than
we--the one hundred million Amer
lean people. They can declare war;
we cannot. They can stop wars; we
cannot. No! Net unless we act like
the Russians, and the soldiers lay
down their weapons and refuse to
fight"

AvIATORS GIVEN HARD TEST
Filters in the Service of France Must
Measure Up to Strictest of
Requirements.

The acceptance as aViatOrS in the
wealthy American families proves that
these young men are far from being
the "tlanneled fools and muddled OATS"
whom kipling once rallied against on
the other side Of the water The phys,
ical and mental requirements Of the
French service, in the case of aviators,
are of the s6vereSt sort. They are
now being tested not only for strength
and ordinary intelligence, but are re-
Quired to demonstrate the Quicknes2
tory and Nctual impression. their
"pSyChOmetric reactiOnS;' that is to
say, they are required to prove that to
anything that is suddenly seen, or
heard or felt, their minds react ac-
curately within a space of time that
figures itself down to hundredths of Il
second. Without this Quickness of per-
ceptiOn and of action upon perception,
in addition to iron courage and endur-
ance, the war aviator is of little use.
The apparatus of the French service
even tests the candidates sang frOid
by recording his heart-beats. his color,
his movement or absence of movement,
under the stress of q surprise pistol
shot fired at the back of his neck.
Then, supposing that his ''psychOmetric
reactions" are all right, the man must
have good knowledge of the rules of
war, of geography, of meteorolOgy,
and other things besides. And finally
he must be willing to subject himself,
as q corporal or sergeant, to an army
discipline much severer than anything
he has ever known before. 1t is fair
to assume that the successful Ameri-
can candidate for this service has
proved his possession of the real stuff
of manhood.
