from BirmsnBhar1 Ala, walked aboard the U. $. s. Recruit n Union Square, New York, at 5, o'clock Tuesday after noon and said he wanted to enlist in the United States navy. While he was being examined by Surgeon J. J. Kav- eney he casually remarked that he had the experience Of submarine gunhre during the past summer. Dupree had shipped from Portland, Me. last June on the Norwegian tanker Kongsh, bound for Rotterdam. On the return four days from the coast of Rotterdam at s.30 in the morning, three shots were sent across the bow of the tanker. Du- pree said:
 'I was on the hurricane deck. The weather was clear and calm. No warn ing was given except the three shots. Twenty moGe were fired and in ten minutes we were sunk. The crew of 2S took to the three boats and imn1e- diately the submarine came wihtin 50 yards of us This was the copversa- ton the captain of the submarine had with our skipper. It was all in Eng fish with no trace of German accent:
 "'How long have you had this shipT said the submarine captain.
 "'A year ard a half answered our skipper.

 Baltimore was the reply.
 "'What kind of a crew have your

 Any Americans?
 None"
 According to Dupree the captain of the tanker asked for a tow and he was told that an English cruiser would be along in the morning. The next day the cruiser came along but paid no attention to the men, 1t being rule of the British admiralty not to pick up lifeboats After fiounderlng around in the rough sea with no rations but few biscuits and a very little water the men finally landed at St. Nazares, France.
 Dupree has been three years at sea, having shipped from Norfolk. Va. He was educated in the public schools at Birmingham He was sent to the Training station at Newport.

But the world is not rid of governments in the hands of small groups who betray their own people and drive them forward in ruth less assaults on the freedom and the rights of other peoples. It is a gov ernment of this type that now Inenaoes all liberty loving nations throughout the world and savaeely attacks Amer ican rights.
 In all our previous wars against for eien powers the American people have fought for principles, not for wealth or power, just as they are fighting to- day They have fought against gov ernments, not against peoples, just as they are fighting today. They have fought fearlessly and fairly. just as yon aud the other American soldiers of this war will fight.

People will remember that about the time we declared war it was popularly thought that Edison and other great American geniuses would hit on a de- vice to put the U-boat out of com- mission. Edison and his fellow gem fuses have been at work all these
 months, and so far the only official re- port of any such device is that raising a sTnudge around a menaced ship is a great protection. Great chap Edison and his fellow geniuses.-Waterbur American.

the United States that our people were
no longer sovereign, and that if they
would sail the seas in safety we must
conform to conditions laid down by a
government that defied international
law, humanity, and elemental moral
ity.
A policy of terrorism has been sys-
tematically applied by the imperial
German government since the out
break of the European war. Treaties
that stood in the way of German mill
taristic plans have been disregarded,
women and children have been treated
with indescribable brutality, the no
blest works of art have been destroyed,
and prisoners have been abused and
maltreated and civilian populations
massacred and deported.
This is why America has gone into
this war in defense of American honor
and American rights. To have done
anything else would have been to sur
render our sovereignty, and we would
have been forced in the end to fight
conscienceless and rapacious military
autocracy-an autocracy which is in
this war avowedly for indemnities,
aggrandizement, and the control of the
world. Our success means that our
children and our children's children
will be able to enjoy peace.

WHY WE ARE AT WAR

Germany has forced America, as it
has forced practically the entire world,
to defend itself by arms. We are fight
ing this war because Germany made
war upon US. America is a peaceful
nation; we have no lust for conquest,
no desire for annexation of territory;
we are defending ourselves against
Germany because the imperial German
government entered upon a program
which meant the destruction Of all
American institutions.
When we finally recognized that
Germany was waging war upon US
we had seen more than 225 Americans,
among them many women and chill
dren, killed by German submarines:
hospital ships had been sunk and un-
fortified towns had been bombed and
bombarded. Medals had been struck
in honor of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, the murderous act by which so
many of our men, women, and chill
dren, lost their lives. German Off
cials had treated the United States, a
neutral nation, as an enemy Strikes
were organized in this country, plants
were blown up, pro-German publica-
tlons were founded and subsidized, and
hatred of America was systematically
sought to be inculcated among our for
eign-born inhabitants. Every effort
was made to involve US in trouble with
Japan and Mexico. Our repeated pro-
tests were met with promises and ex-
plantations which were little better
than insults.
The imperial German government
finally proclaimed the unrestricted de-
struction of neutral ships upon the

the program recently adopted by the
Petrograd and Moscow councils, Rus
sia will face civil war because a
great part of the country, and / dare
say, the best part of it, will never fol-
low the Maximalists' lead. 1t may be
put even stronger: Russia will not
follow them, for they can lead the
full defeat To follow them would
practically mean suicide for the coun-
try.
Want Democratic Republic.
In conclusion, / want to emphasize
that, in principle there is no differ
ence between the general ideas and
sympathies of Kerensky and Tzere-
tell, on the one hand, and Lenine and
Trotsky on the other. Kerensky is
not less a Socialist, and / would say,
not less a militant Socialist than Len
inc. The difference between them is
that Lenine and his Maximalist fol-
lowers would like to see the Socialist
state established almost Immediately,
whereas Kerensky and his friends un-
derstand that an apple which may be
sweet and ready to be eaten in Oc-
tober, is sour and indigestible in June.
A Socialist experiment in Russia-of-
the-present-day, in a country indus
trially undeveloped, in country lack
ing, to a great degree, even elemen-
tary education, would inevitably bring
two jumps backward.
The Russian revolution is a signifi-
cant movement, and is only the begin
ing of a general European movement,
far-reaching in effect and most prob
ably social in its character. But, the
Russian revolution in itself is not
social revolution, and the most that
can be hoped for in Russia at the
present time, is the establishment of
democratic republic with developed,
progressive social legislation. This is
the path along which Russia will be
led by the Socialists of Kerensky's
type. Supported by the organized
democracy, the provisional govern
ment will be able to suppress any
movement endangering Russia's lib
erty from right or left.

coalition Of all progressive, sincerely
democratic forces in the country, not
only Socialistic, but of the bourgeoisie
as well.
The All-Russian council is playing
and will play the most important role
in Russia's political life until the con-
stituent assembly has convened. There
fore, it is necessary that the Ameri-
can public should have a clear under
standing of this organization.
Russia In the Miniature.
The All-Russian council of working
mems, soldiers and peasants delegates
is a body constituted of the elected
representatives of the local councils,
which in turn represent almost every
factory, every regiment and every vii
lage. This central body of the local
councils, in its essence-Russia in the
sia's provisional parliament. Its
makeup is very like that of the pro-
posed constituent assembly, the power
that is to decide Russia's fate by lay
ing the foundation for Russia's polit-
ical life.
We have not just now any exact fig
ures telling how many peasants find
expression in the utterances of the
council, but twenty million working
men and soldiers have their elected
representatives in this body. 1t is the
highest organized form of Russia's
democracy at the present time. With
out the adherence of this body no gov
ernment can exist in the present-day
Russia. The support of this All-Rus-
sian council is the basis of Kerensky's
power.
Give kerensky Added Power
We have every reason to expect that
the democratic conference will share
the point of view of the All-Russian
council. This will give to the Keren-
sky government added power and will
eliminate in the creation of a stable
coalition cabinet with a program; or
der in the country, success at the front
and preservation of the fruits of the
revolution.
II, on the other hand, by any chance,
the Maximalists get the majority at
the democratic conference, and the
latter body adopts the resolution and

RUSSIA'S DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE
TO DETERMINE FUTURE OF NATION
Conflict Between Extreme Radical Socialists
lists May Decide Whether Civil Is to Come and

Says Bureau Director A. J. Sack
by A. J. SACK

by A. }. SACK
director Russian Information Bureau. New
York;
The democratic conference now be-
ing held will prove the turning point
in Russia's political life. 1t is of
greater import than the recent ma
tional conference in Moscow. This
conference representing all the fac
tions of the revolutionary democracy
will decide whether Russia is to enter
upon an era of normal democratic
development or is to face a new pol
ltical Crisis, more complicated and
more dangerous than those of recent
occurrence.
Two possibilities are open for Rus
STA. One will express itself in the
creation of a stable coalition cabinet,
in which the representatives of the
sincerely democratic part of the bour
geoisie, such men as. for instance,
Nebrasoff and Terestchenko. will par
ticipate together with the represen-
tatives of the Minimalist part of the
Socialists, men as Kerensky, Tzere-
tell, and Avksentieff. The other will
arise If by any chance the Maximalists
gain control in the conference and
repudiate the idea of a coalition cabi-
net. In this event, Russia will face
civil war.
The Contending Forces.
We do not shut our eyes on the
temporary strengthening of the Max
imalist position in Russia. They have
gained the majority in the Petrograd
and Moscow councils of workingmen's
and soldiers delegates. They have
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-10-06

gained in influence in some of the
provincial cities. Korniloff's counter
revolutionary move has strengthened
their position and intensified their ar
gument. But, it must be remembered
that aside from Petrograd and Mos
COW and the few provincial cities in
which the Maximalists have gained
power, there are many, many other
Russian cities which do not recognize
them as leaders.
The provincial cities in general are
less extreme than the capitals. Also,
the peasants who are organized in a
special council of peasants delegates,
and soldiers. Provincial Russia, the
peasants Russia, will save the coun-
try from the Maximalist danger,
which, threatening the revolution from
the left, is even more serious than
the counter-revolutionar dangers
threatening il from the right.
America Should Understand.
If the democratic conference is
properly elected. it's structure must be
like that of the All-Russian council of
workingmen's, soldiers and peasants
delegates. 1t is most significant that
while the Petrograd council, which rep
resents only the workingmen and SOL
diers of Petrograd, adopted a Maxi
malist resolution, the All-Russian
council representing not only the
workingmen and soldiers, but also the
peasants, and not only of Petrograd
but of all Russia, adopted resolution
supporting the provisional govern
ment and upheld the principle of a

Motorists, Heed
Warning Sounds;
They Bid Trouble

The S. o. S. signals Of the motor
are the sounds known as knocks and
pounds" and they should be needed
at once or serious and costly damage
will probably result.
There is no generally accepted dis
tinction between these two kinds of
abnormal sounds which an ailing mo-
tor may give out, but the term knock
is usually applied to the somewhat
sharp, clanking noise which is pro-
duced when metallic parts are abnor-
mally stressed, but have no substan-
tial looseness or play between them.
Little, if any, jar of the car as
whole accompanies these knockings.
The term pound" is usually applied
to the much more resonant and more
blow-like sound, which results from
loose parts striking together, and
which is commonly accompanied by
distinct jar. According to these
definitions knock may occur in a
motor which is in perfect mechanical
condition, with none OF It's parts loose
from wear or faulty adjustment.
The knock is most commonly
caused by too early ignition of the
charge, due to the spark occurring
too early, or by the premature ignition
due to carbon deposits, too high COM
preston or overheating OF the piston.
A pound, on the other hand, occurs
only in a motor which is in imperfect
mechanical condition.

Figures Indicate
Growth of Lincoln
Highway Traffic

The value OF the Lincoln highway
as a thorough, connected artery OF
travel is strikingly indicated by the
wonderful increase in travel along the
route in the last three years. An &C
curatc count OF the volume OF travel
on the highway during each month
OF 1914, 1915, 1916 has been made at
Orr's ranch, Tooele county, Utah.
This ranch, situated some ninety
miles southwest of Salt Lake City,
stands alone at this point on the Lin
coin highway, and a careful count of
each passerby has been made by Mr..
Hamilton Orr, consul OF the Lincoln
Highway association.
The greatest volume of traffic on
the Lincoln highway has been noted
during the months of July, August
and September, when transcontinental
tourists are on the road in the great
est numbers. However, automobiles
are upon the road every month in the
year despite the extreme rigor of the
Utah winter.
But 57S cars passed this point on
the Lincoln highway in 1914, while the
total swelled to 1904 during 1916, in
dicating clearly the tremendous in
crease in traffic which must he cred
tied to the extended development and
correspondingly heightened popular
ity of the Lincoln highway with the
motor travelling public. Thirty-scven
cars were checked at Orr's in Octo-
Der, 1914; cighty-seven in the same
month of 1915, and III in October of
1910. The other months show SINH
lar average increase

434. except that OF the ballistic test,
which consist OF one round for each
plate (lS0 grain bullet 200 f.s.) from
the United States service rifle at a
range OF 100 yards.
The main portion of this armored
body will have sufficient capacity to
accommodate three men. not less
than 5000 rounds of ammunition in
belts or magazines, and will permit
the convenient operation of the gun
mounted on the car at all angles OF
elevation from approximately minus
10 to plus 90 degrees. Suitable con-
tainers will be provided to protect
the ammunition from dust.
Armor Will Protect Car.
The armored body will efficiently
protect all vital parts OF the car with
the exception of such portions OF
the wheels, springs and axles that
cannot be protected without the use
OF an excessive weight of armor.
The car will mount one machine
gun in a revolving turret, which will
run on about thirty e-quarter-inch
bail bearings, with suitable spring
spacers, and the sides of the turret
will project beneath the roof armor
of the car, so that shot near the
bottom of the turret will not cause
jamming. The turret will be turned
by suitable gearing with a hand
wheel conveniently located. The di-
ameter of the turret will be approx
mately thirty-eight inches, or such
diameter as may be necessary to pro-
vide for the free and convenient oper-
alton Of the machine gun at all angles
Of elevation or direction permitted
by the mount
On the exterior of the car will be
carried two runways approximately
twelve feet long, of suitable strength
for use in crossing bitches, pick
mattock, shovel, ak, and lantern of
ordnance department design, attached
by suitable fittings. The total weight
of the car completely equipped with
oil, gasoline and water, and including
guns and ammunition, will not ex-
coed $500 pounds.
