ERMANY,S commerce is to
" be limited to her own Dor
ders and the other nations OF
the Central Alliance, as it is
now, after the war is over. AT
least such is frankly admitted
to be the present intentions of
the nations allied against her
In the great war, according to

Of the Japanese house Of peers,
who attended the International
Parliament of Commerce held

Korea Maru. About six months ago
he was delegated with T. Kato, an
other member Of the Japanese house
OF peers, 70 dltehu buS CohhCt SnSS -
augurated by England with the inten-
ton OF Gripping not only the COM
merce OF Germany during the war per-

Both the Japanese statesmen were
accompanied on their national mis-
s5sn to italy by Y. Hawai-, secretary
oIthe house of peers, who is also
passenger on the Korea Maru. Mr..
Kato is returning to Japan by another

viscount Okochi says that the plan
for the international commerce con-
ference developed from the British
suggestion Of trade war after the
present bloody conflict is ended, which
was proposed about two years ago.
"The plan is to keep Germany from
becoming powerful in the future as
q commercial nation as she did In
the past as q military one" the Jap

At the international conference
Great Britain had rs or 80 delegates
present. While Japan had only two,

u General Korniloff was
the recipient of a great ovation
today when he entered the
convention hall, the demonstra-
ton being prolonged and en-
thusiastic in the extreme.
Kerensky explained that he had IN.

alton at the battle front, alid, II pos
sible, devise means whereby the army
could be brought to q realization Of
developed through the disaffection
and assertions among the troops.
General Korniloff, in the course Of
telling speech, declared the death
penalty was only one of the rene
dies necessary to be inflicted against
an army stricken with disorganiza,
ton and characterization.
During the moath Of August, said
the commander-in-chief, mutinous sol
diers had killed four regimentaI COM
Flanders and many other officers OF
lesser rank. 80
Threats of determination were
made in order to convince the Siber-
ian regiments, which heretofore had
been the brayest and most gallant Of
the army, to return to the posts which
they had abandoned.
The situation at the front, Kornf
loft told the delegates, was. very bad.
They had lost the fruits Of all the vic
tories by their voluntary retreatings.
And now the enemy was In the az

loft, while committees of peasants
and such life organizations must
be impressed with the fact that their
interference with the military opera
tions must cease. F..
"The strength Of the army depends
upon the restoration of transporta-
ton facilities for the speedy forward
ing of supplies to the battlefront
concluded the commander, "or else
inevitably a debacle." Shortage OF
food for the army and a decreased
production of shells, If continued,
would bring the Russians into the
same state as the spring Of 1915 found
them and which was the cause Of
the great retreat"
General Korniloff, who is OF Cos
sack stock, is of medium height, with
small black eyes and sparse beard,
somewhat resembling the Japanese.
Extremists declare he will soon be the
popular hero of the people.

speaker, ut involves the breaking of
home ties, the dissolution possibly of
family circles wherein heretofore happi-.
ness has reigned supreme. Looking
forward to the future in the light Of
past events wescan presage that in it's
wake will come, unspeakable suffering,
misery and unhappiness. Under such
circumstances it is no wonder that the
minds of men and women should wander
into paths heretofore untrodden. It is
no wonder that men should have de-
sire to gather together to discuss SUBJ
ject which so vitality affects their welfare
and lives and to hear what means, if
any, may be adopted by them to bring
about the object desired.
"This nation by the Judgment of it's
Congress duly elected by the people is
at war with foreign country. This
gathering of American citizens realizes
that fact possibly more than those who
are instrumental in bringing about this
condition. For the brunt of the burden
of war falls upon the average common
citizen and not on those who sit in cush-
toned chairs in the whitewalled palaces
of the national capitol.
Spirit of Inquiry.
AS one of the measures for carrying
on this war Congress has passed the
so-called draft laao under which the draw
ing has just taken place to determine the
order in which those liable to military
duty shall respond ITO the call. It is
the consequences of this call which have
brought about a spirit Of inquiry and
uneasiness among the people reflected
in the meeting tonight.
Its consideration brings to Our minds
the theory on which governments are
founded, the privileges and duties of man
on the one hand, and Of the government
under which hestands, on the other.
1.-THE first great document of our
national history, the Declaration OF
independence from England contains
these beautiful words: We hold these
truths to be self evident; that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain a1nalien-
able rights; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed Those words
have always been considered the key
stone on which the privileges of Americas
citizenship are founded
Discussing the Constitution of the
United States Major Pfaender said to
this document We must look for a sdeclara
ton of our rights as American citizens
Continuing he said:
Its preamble states that the Consti.
tuition is adopted, among other things
to establish justice, provide for the
common defense, and secure the blessings
of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
"Our own State Constitution, in its
first section declares the object OF govern
ment to be for the security, benefit and
protection of the people, ise whom all
political poauer is inherent.
From all this it appears that all power
and authority emanates from the people
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-08-01

originally. however, IN VaSC country
like this, it is impossible that the people
act on everything, but in the adoption
and execution of laws they must act
through representatives, empowered
thereto by the Constitution or bylaws
passed pursuant to that Constitution.
Nov in the subject Of War, the
trainers of the Constitution left the power
declaring war in the hands of Con-
gress.
People Not Consulted.
Congress has taken it upon itself
to declare war, and there is at present
no appeal from it's decision. True, we
find ourselves engaged in war which
would never have been declared if the
common people had had voice in it.
What is Our remedy? To look to the
future, urge an amendment to the
federal Constitution providing for a
referendum to the people on the question
of War and to indicate such choice, and
do so emphatically at the ballot box.
The father and mother who must give
up their boy, the husband who must say
farewell, perhaps forever, to his wife
and children, should not they have some
thing to say on this question, matter
of life and death?
''The Chief Executive of this country
has said that we have no quarrel with
the German people, that they have had
no hand in the making of the war, and
that I'VE aim to spread in the world
the gospel of Democracy and OF the bro
therhood of man, and that militarism
must forever be laid low Have we
in this country had any more right than
tine people OF Germany in the making of
this war? If we have no quarrel with
+hem, if they are our brothers, why then
Isshould we be commanded to kill them?
Urges Law Obeyance.
Major Pfaender urged the young men
who had been drafted to obey the law,
saying that Congress had the undoubted
right to call every able bodied man into
the service of the country at this time
He declared it to- be the duty of these
young men to respond promptly wher
called. Nothing can be gained, he sale
by resisting the draft At the same time
he said it is up to those who remain al
home to use every honorable means ir
their power to bring about Constitu.
tional amendment providing for refer.
endum On the question of war.
They can also crystalline public senti.
ment that will cause action to prevent
the present intention to send the drafted
men across the ocean by Joining the
Peoples Council~of America, which is
headed by David Starr Jordan, about
whose Americanism there can be NO
question.
| Is Unconstitutional.
The speaker said, however, that the
Constitution does not provide, not even
permit men to be taken across the Dor
der unless they are willing to go of their
own free Will and accord.
There will be plenty Of time to act
on the suggestions OF the speaker, from
the fact that it will require from eight
to ten months to prepare the men for
war, Major Pfaender basing his estimate
on what he saw on the border.
