Prolonged War, Say Speak

and Anniversary
Urge Patriots to Unite
Must Be Ready to Combat
Plots of Nations Foes,
They Declare

On the very site where George Wash
ington's outnumbered troops met their
British foes In the Battle OF Long ISL
and, I41 years ago, thousands OF pa
triots yesterday gathered to pay their
respects to the Revolutionary heroes
and TO show that the same ideals ami
mate the soldiers of-1917 who are about
10 carry the American flag to the
trenches in France.
The Kings County Historical Society
arranged the meeting, which was held
in the Music Grove, Prospect Park.
The note Of patriotism was pressed by
the speakers as we'll as by Conterno's
Concert Band. Giovanni T. Conterno,
the conductor, composed for the occa-
sion "The Battle of Long Island" de-

veal American patriots battling for de-
mocracy, for freedom and for selfgov-
ernment-that was the message of the
afternoons celebration.
Pacifist Agitation Not New
James Sullivan. director of the Divis-
ION of Archives and History of the
State of New York, cited original his
torical sources to show that just be-
fore the Battle of Long Island New
York had been hotbed of conscien-
tious DIRECTORS, pacitists, slackers and
Tories He added that betrayal of
army secrets by a Royslist sympathizer
informed the British of the numerical
weakness of Washington's forces and
led them to strike, when otherwise they
would have hesitated.
The lesson of it, Mr.. Sullivan con
cluded, was that the pscifst movement
in this country to-day was nothing
new, but merely repetition of condi-
tons that hampered Washington in

"The Governor will welcome the

the opportunity of showing where the

"The statement given out by the

Facts Sees Hysteria
In the War Posters

Facts" published at West ll7th
Street, New York, is the organ of the
Federated Union for Democracy, one OF
the affiliated organizations of the
American Union Against Militarism
which announces that it expects to
work in close cooperation with the Fed
eral officials at Washington" In its is
sue of June 81 Facts said:
"The character of the posters which
are being issued to foster the war
hysteria is typical Of the shameless
coercion which has marked all the eff
forts of the war makers. They bear
flaming testimony to the passing Of
American individualism and manly
pride. They are striking proofs Of
the depths TO which this country has
descended IN its unquestioning sub
serviency to authority. Here Liberty,
with dark, threatening eyes, points a
menacing finger and cries: You! Save
me- Buy a bond.' There Uncle Sam,
equally cold and threatening, snaps:
4 want YOU! Enlist for all the
world like an officer Of the law seiz-
ing an escaped convict. Terrorization
and the scourge Of prison bars are
we'll suited to conscript war. Their
success Is already assured. We con-
graduate the administration"
Its idea of helping the government to
raise an army Is as follows:
"The President Of the United States
in his proclamation Of the illegal
draft has stated definitely that it is
to be in no sense a CONSUMPTION Of
the unwilling We demand that the
President make good his words. We
demand that every person who has
conscientious objections to the draft,
no matter whether he be member Of
a religious sect or not, be exempt.
We demand that this be done IL one
person make such a claim or IL ten
million unfortunate victims OF the
draft make IL. We demand that the
President stand by his words like a
brave man. We demand that no ex-
aminations be made into any mans
claims Of conscientious objections. II
this Is not to be CONSUMPTION Of the
unwilling, any man who makes this
claim, whether he can substantiate
ir "a cnurt If lam or net ahnnld ~
excused from service. The Presidents
words leave no room for hedging;
they are memorable. In no sense is
an absolute expression. which even

YOU should know that the cry or
democracy is lie and snare for
the unthinking. You should know
that republic is not synonymous
with democracy, and that America
has never been a real democracy, but
that it is the vilest plutocracy on
the face of the globe.
"If you can see, hear, feel and
think. you should know that King
Dollar rules the United States, and
that the workers are robbed and ex-
plotted in this country to the hearts
content Of the masters.
"If you are not deaf, dumb and
blind. then you know that the Amerl-
can bourgeois democracy and capt.
talistic civilization are the worst
enemies Of labor and progress, and
that instead of protecting them you
should help to fight to destroy them.
"If you know this, you must also
know that the workers of America
have no enemy in the toilers Of other
countries. Indeed, the workers Of
Germany suffer as much from their
exploiters and rulers as do the
masses Of America.
"You should know that the inter
ests of labor are identical in all coun-
tries. Their cause is international

Mother Earth" Protest,
Against War Sacrifices

Mother Earth" also affiliated with
the American Union Against Militarism
says:
"Since war is hell and we are all
now at it, we might as we'll make the
most of il. And if war means that we
must maintain our honor and take re-
venge upon our enemy, let up stop
and consider who our real enemies
are.
MANY Of the men who join the
army will suffer and be killed. It is
estimated that q horse lasts sixteen
days on the front, and soldier will
average about eight weeks in the
trenches. And so if we have to suffer
and die, let US die for the things we
believe in, and suffer for a cause that
will make the world a better place in
which to live and future wars impos-
sible.
"You have a life, you have brains
and courage. Will you use them to
make the greedy manufacturers rich
er and the government more powerful
and tyrannical?"
The Collegiate AntiMilitarism Leagu.
is affiliated with the same organization
1t gets out magazine called WAR; in
which 1t says:
"The coming Of war must not stay
the activity Of our anti-militarist or
CARNATIONS in this country. This ac-
tivity will have to be changed to some
extent in character; but the enemy
within our gates is still with us, and,
worst of all, in the saddle, and the
battle against him must be unremit-
ting.
Transcription is the most serious
foe now menacing this country. By
CONSUMPTION the military autocracies
of Europe have stood thus long. BY
CONSUMPTION more effectively than by
the attack of German legions this
country can be destroyed, and the
fairest experiment of democracy the
world has ever seen be brought to an
untimely end.
"And so we must fight consumption
to the end. There is nothing in &C
tual conditions of war which makes
impossible this fight. We are free TO
speak and write and act against this
monstrous thing. Or II we are not we
are free to suffer martyrdom on It's
behalf. The fight is on--let no man
finch"

operation with an organization, the No.
League, with headquar-
ters at 20 East l25th Street, New
York, which sent out a circular that
said:
Transcription has now become a
fact in this country. 1t took Eng
land fully eighteen months after she
engaged in the war to impose COM
pulsory military service on her peo-
ple. II was left for free America
to pass q CONSUMPTION bill six week:
after she declared war on Germany.
what becomes Of the patriotic
boast OF America TO have entered
the European war in behalf Of the
principles of democracy? But that
is not all. Every country in Eu-
rope has recognized the right Of con-
scientious directors men who
refuse to engage in war on the
ground that they are opposed to TAX
ing life. Yet this democratic coun-
try makes no such provision for
those who will not commit murder at
the behest of the var profteers.
Thus the land Of the free and the
home Of the brave is ready to coerce
free men into the military yoke.
mo one to whom the fundamental
principle of liberty and justice is
more than an idle phrase can help
realize that the patriotic clap-trap
now shouted by press, pulpit and the
authorities betrays a desperate eff
fort of the ruling class in this coun-
Try to throw sand in the eyes OF
the masses ard to blind them to the
real issue confronting them. That
issue is the Prussianizing Of America
so as to destroy whatever few liber-
ties the people have achieved through
an incessant struggle of many years.
Patriotic clap-trap" has a familiar
sound. II is one OF the favorite
phrases of Emma Goldman. The cir
cular continues:
"Freedom Of speech, Of press and
assembly is about TO he thrown upon
the dungheap Of political guarantees.
But. crime OF all crimes, the flower
of the country is to be forced into
murder whether or not they believe
in war, in the efficacy OF saving
democracy in Europe by the destruc-
ton of democracy at home.
"The No-Conscription League has
been formed for the purpose Of en-
couraging conscientious directors TO
affirm their liberty of conscience ana
to make their objection TO human
slaughter effective by refusing to
participate in the killing Of their
fellow men. The No-Conscription
League is to be the voice Of protest
against the coercion Of conscientious
DIRECTORS to participate in the war.
ave will resist CONSUMPTION by
every means in our power, and we
will sustain those who, for similar
reasons, refuse to be conscripted.'
