London, Nov. 5.-By Canadian Press.
An appalling story Of cold blooded
massacres by Germans of crews of

papers. The Tidcnstgn said the Ger
man cruisers were observed. at &
o'clock in the morning and were
thought to be British vessels. but at :
o'clock when there was more light.
they suddenly began shooting and the
convoy was terrified to see the British
destroyer at the stern of the convoy
begin to sink. although it fought to
the end. The German cruisers. after
signaling the vessels to stop, advanced
on each side of the convoy. which
they swept with all their guns at a
range OF less than 200 Yards.
Shell lifeboats.
The German destroycrs came up and
helped to spread death and destruc-
ton on the defenseless ships. shells
falling thick and fast. The Germans
were not content to sink the ships but
sheled the lifeboats and every living
thing coming their way was merciless-
~ slaughtered The survivors owed
their lives to the high sea which was
running, making the boats Il difficult

In the midst of the massacre an

LAWS AND CORRUPTION.

It is wonderful what insight into tho affairs of state the ancients had in their civilization which existed two thorsand year. ago, and what a striking analogy there is between the conditions as they then existed.
 For instance, Tacitus, the ancient Roman, was prompted to make this observations:
 When the state is most corrupt, then laws are most multiplied"
 How strikingly this applies to conditions under capitalism here in the United States today! The laws are multiplying so rapidly that the volumes containing Jhem have to be estimated by the ton and no mortal on earth can possibly keep track of them. The national con gress and all the states of tho union are grinding out laws with ten thousand mule power capacity. and all the time the ma ton is stowing in such political vilcnc and social corruption that 70 words can describe it.
 Private ownership of the means Of fife was the curse today. Laws and corruption go hand in hand and indeed laws are made to le- galizc and protect corruption, in- stead of eAtripating it, in all na- ton where privilege is in powe anC the people are il slavery.

No man is born booted and sp%rred to ride another 5r.4!ed and aaGdled."
 This ought to be emblazoned on the flaming walls of the uni verse.
 No man, if he were a god, is good enough to govern another as a bca t ir ridden
 Lincoln put in this way: No mai is good enough to govern an other without that others consent.
 The man eats his bread out of the sweat of another mans brow is guilty of robbery no matter to what extent the act may be legal ized by government or sanctified by government or sarctihed by re- ligion.
 The prevailing capitalist system produces those who are born booted and spurred to ride others bridled and saddled through the world
 Vincent Astor, at twcnty-one years of age, came in possession by inheritance of sixty million dollars of which he had never earned a penny and which he had all been filched from those who produced it in the most approved way that pi- racy vas ever legalized in all the history Of mankind.

 Just as the atlantosaur di,ap- peared when changed conditions made it impossible for him to get his sutenance, so will the Para sites of Industry disappear when the workers organize to keep Cap italism from feeding on their fie h.
 Capitalism IS doomed. Even now the slimy Thing is old, decrepit and malignant It's drooling and venom ous fangs are barred hopelessly at the whole world.

SHAVING THE DRAGON.

Have you ever stopped to con- slider how much Capitalism resemb- les the extinct monsters of pre- historic times? The similarity is striking in more ways than one. Like these huge experiments of nature. the present .ystem has all of the unwidely bulk and seeming inyumcra bility and, like them, it also has an inherent unfitneSs to survive. In other words, as has been often pointed out, Capitalism contain. within itself the very thines that make its continued ex- istcnce upon this sublunary sphere impossible.
 Human progress inevitably dooms Capitali m to death. World wars for world markets, foreign con quest and domestic terrorism, craft unions ana contracts, political gov ernments and repression, political parties and ballots, r2ligiou,, 2hilo- Sophies. codes of ethics and all other component parts Of the ma chine1y of working class eXploita- tion will eventually pas away to mafe way for aaner and ore 'd- vaacgd means ot managing the ut- lairs of tEe hA1au race. And all the efforts of the lawyers, preachers soldiers. writers. speakers, gunuon and spies ot the Monster to save it's life wiIl hy futile.
 Capitalism is fated to become extinct as the atlantosaur and some ..a9 people will wonder now such a creature of is kind could ever have existed in this world at all.
 Capitalism hydra with many heads. War is bat one of them; go,crumcntal repression is but one of them: religion is one class had tha power to cut off one of them. If the working cla S had the power to cut off any enc of these heads it would have the power to kill the monster outright. It IS IHt HIStOi IL mission Of tn" working class to dc away with the Beat, for there is no longer room on the earth for both Capitalism and he producing vIass.
