calls on the proletariat to unto for
the purpose Of obtaining peace without

the right OF peoples freely to mako
their own choice. The conferences or

parties and all trade union organiza-
tons to refuse to coIlaborate in any
way with a government which has de-
clined to disclose its war aims or has
indicated its aims as imperialietio or
has refused to renounce such aims"

Exiles Get Much Needed Rest.

After the exiles had completed es-
tabIishing camp they all went to the
big water tank in the camp and
bathed their blistered feet. washed
their clothes and then slept in the
shade of the wedge tents.
They obey orders without comment,
and seem to have accepted their lot
for the present
When the unShaved and unwashed
crowd marched up to the refugee camp
this afternoon they presented one of
the strangest sights Columbus has seen
since Villas Mexican bandits dashed
into the town on March 8, 1916.
Many were without hats and wore
soiled handkerchiefs on their heads to
keep off the hot sun. Others limped
from blistered feet, while old men and
the physically unfit had difficulty in
marching the mile to the camp from
the railroad.
One man tainted after reaching the
camp and the hospital tent was crowd
ed with minor cases during the after
noon, though no serious illness has been
discovered.
