it must be given structure Of force
and reality. The nations must realize
their common life and effect worka-
bic partnership to secure that life
against the aggressions OF autocratic
and self-pleasing power.
For these things We can afford to
pour out blood and treasure. For
these are the things we have always
protested to desire, and unless We
pour out blood and treasure now and
succeed we may never be able to
unite or show conquering force again
in the great cause of human liberty.
The day has come to conquer or sub
nit. If the forces of autocracy can
divide us they will overcome US; if
we stand together victory is certain
and the liberty which victory will Sc
cure. We can afford then to be gen
erOus, but we cannot afford then or
now to be weak or omit any single
guarantee of justice and security.

THE AMERICAN SOCIALIST

The thing that pleases us most is
the number of socialists leaving the
| organization because their love of
country is stronger than their love of
party
One John Spargo is among the lat
est to have done so.
AIr. Spargo shows that he has i'm
bihed the true American spirit
He says:
Il have believed and said that the
victory of German militarisr would
be supreme disaster to civiliza ton
a serious check TO the international
socialist movement, and a terrible
menace to the United States and its
democratic institutions The struggle
is a conflict between militarist autoc-
racy and democracy. When | came
to this country of my own volition,
because it appeared to offer greater
opportunities for my work than did
the land Of my birth, the rights and
advantages | then acquired carried
with them certain obligations to this
nation. and when later tool, the oath
of citizenship | did so without any
reservation whatsoever. Loyal sup
port to this nation in the present war
is cOincident with loyalty to the fun
damantal institutions without which
there can be no socialist organization
of the world"
We hope that Mr.. Spargo will not
be alone. In this country the social
lists enjoy all the privileges of citi-
zenship and if it is not worth any
thing here it is worth nothing in any
part of the world, and the Declara-
ton of independence and the Bill of
Rights were born to no purpose and
the blood of the revolutionary patri-
OTIS was shed in vain.
Socialism in the United States is
a solecism.

ToLSTopS PROPHECIES

The Pensacola Journal is calling al
tention to some of the wonderful pro
phecies of County Tolstoi
For example, here is one that was
written more than twenty years ago:
The great cOnhagratiOn VIII start
about 1912. set by the torch OF the
first arm in the countries of south
eastern Europe 1t will develop into
a destruction and calamity in 1914. In
that year | shall see all Europe in
flames and bleeding I hear the la
mentations of huge battlefields.
But in the year 1915 the strange
figure from the north--a new Napo-
leon-enters the stage of the bloody
drama. He is a man of little militar-
istic training, writer or a journal
list, but in his grip most of Europe
will remain until 1925"
Does he refer to Wilson as the new
Napoleon?
Tolstoi continues:
'The end of the great calamity
will make new political era for the
old world. There vii be left no en-
pires or kingdoms, but the world will
form a federation of the United States
of Nations. There will remain only
four great giants-the Anglo-Saxons,
the Latins, the Slav and the Mongo-
lians."

When that assassination occurred
In Servia we little dreamed that it
would involve the United States in
war in which millions of our young
men would be sent into the field and
billions of money would have to be
voted by congress. 1t is wonderful
what big things are evolved from the
most trivial events. tall oaks from
little acorns grow; big streams from
little fountains flow

While Its colors blush warm on your
bosom of snow.
Defend it o fathers; there's no sweet
er death
Than TO float its fair folds With sol
dier's last BREATH
And love it, o children, be true TO
the sires
Who wove 1t in plain by the old camp
fires.
Samuel l.. Simpson.
