How British labor feels about
the proposition can be seen from
the following statement of John
Hill, president of the British trades
union congress. who is now in the
United States
This is supposed to be an auda-
cious resolution-tne conscription
OF wealth-but why should We
think SO In these days?
Il ask you to think, is there
any man in Great Britain today
who has given a son to the state
but would not gladly change
places with any man who has only
given or lost goldaa. There is no
comparison.
In the United States, the nom
partison league, with conscription
of wealth as one of the chief
planks in its platform. is rapidly
gaining strength in the west, and
the A. f. of l.. in its recent con-
vention unanimously adopted the
principle, stopping only short of
drafting definite bill for legisla-
tive action.

GERMANY TO FIGHT
HARD FOR CAMBRIA

ure of the German plans was IL
Illustrated in prisoners statements
today that German Uhlans (cav-
alry) were held for days in readi-
ness behind the lines for the
break in the British front that
the Germans schemed to attain
but which they did not achieve.
The artillery fire in the whole
Cambria sector was increasing
today and the massing of more
infantry forces forecast another
drive.
l was in Flanders Sunday dur
ing a local British advance in
the Passchendaele region and at
that time comment was evoked
on the fact that the German bar
rage was nine minutes late and
of much lighter force than that
in any previous fighting.
The answer was apparent
either the British guns had
knocked out the enemy artillery,
or the Germans had been with
drawing their pieces for use on
another front.

CONGRESSMAN
DODGE RAIDER

\ PACIFIC PORT, Dec. s.
Twenty senators and members of
congress, returning today from
Honolulu, brought thrilling
story of lodging mysterious ship
believed by them to haye been a
German raider. A Japanese
cruiser conveyed the vessel on
which the congressman arrived.
Before the vessel sailed from
Honolulu, it was reported raid
er was active The japanese
cruiser was then in port.
Sunday night, during a severe
blow, lights we're seen to the star
board. Suddenly the lights were
extinguished. The liners search
lights attempted to locate the ship
but failed and her captain ordered
the vessels course changed.
Passengers, greatly excited,
rushed on deck. The captain,
convince that the mysterious ship
was a raider, ordered his vessel
sent forward a full speed. The
other ship was then seen off the
port side, with lights dimmed.

ed the men to register and con-
scripted what We needed. We have
been financing the war largely on
a volunteer system by bond sales
and war savings campaigns. But
we are nearing the end of that
line, as every member of the gov
eminent knows. 1t is time to reg

that the nation may draft what it
needs" sums up the arguments.
Labor For IL.
The simplest plan of putting the
wealth draft" into effect is sug-
gested by the London Nation.
If" it is suggested, "on January
1 next everybody possessed of
property beyond a negligible mini-
mum were required to present on
oath, and with serious penalties in
case of Justification, an accurate
and true statement of the value of
his property, such levy could be
effected by an extension OF the ma
chinery for assessing and collect
ing death duties. In effect, every
one would be deemed to be dead
for the purpose of this act"
1t is calculated that the present
graduated scale of death duties,
averaging 10 per sent, would yield
$10,000,000,000 a year, which
would be quite enough for the
present.
Easily Done.
At this rate, IL the war lasted
five years, the British government
would at the end own one-half Of
the wealth Of the nation, while If

Especial to The Times)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. S.
As an indication of what may be
coming in the United States before
we are done with the war, Amer
leans will do we'll to consider revo-
lutionary proposals now being
made in Great Britain for the reg
istration of all wealth as a prac-
teal basis or cOnscripting what
ever amount of property and re-
sources is necessary to carry on
the war and liquidate the national
debt.
If these proposals came from
socialists or anarchists no one
would pay any attention to them.
But they don't.
They come from such conserva-
tive sources as the London Nation,
the Manchester Guardian and in
dividual representatives of the
capitalist class, such as Sir Her
bert S. Leon.
Argument Is Simple. %
Coming from suct sources, with
the endorsement OF the British
trades union congress and the in
dependent labor party, these pro-
posals entered the realm Of prac-
tical politics in England.
The basis for these revolution
airy steps is very simple.
1t is simply the extension of the
principles and machinery for con-
scription of men necessary to win
the war to the CONSUMPTION of the
wealth necessary to win the war.
