ALL. ON EQUAL FOOTING.

J The war department has receded
from an impossible position. and
Irescinded its order barring all
fraternal societies from the training
camps.
Hitherto the activities for recrea-
tion and social welfare have been
confined to the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
knights of Columbus. Naturally
other religious organizations object
ed. The B'naI Birth demanded an
opportunity to carry on its activities
among the Jewish men in the camps.
Other societies wan.ed an cpportun-
ity to promote their work.
The war departments purpose was
right. 1t wanted to centralize the
camp activities as much as possible,
and prevent duplication and needless
expense.
But now that the bars have been
let down. camp commanders will be
directed to permit the construction
of buildings on available land within
the camp sites by any fraternal or
ganization individually or by any
group Of organizations acting to-
gether. Facilities of the camp for
social and fellowship meetings will
be extended and accredited represen-
tatives from the various societies
will be authorized to visit the camps
and arrange entertainments for the
men. either at the buildings thus
erected or in nearby communities.
This ought to solve q troublesome
problem, and it is now up to the
societies themselves to prevent
duplication OF effort. The one set Of
buildings should be used wherever
possible. There Is nothing to prevent
the fullest cooperation along social
lines. and to the credit Of all the
societies be it said, that this CO.
operation is much in evidence, and
every effort Is being made to work in
harmony, eliminate all friction and
overlapping Of effort. and conserve

advocate, when the knights Of

course they were wrong, just as
wrong as the I. W. W. are when they

The fact that they were giving the

LENINE GROWS wARLIkE.

Before they had been in power
forty-eight hours. Premier Lenine
and his followers had to modify their
policy Of IAN immediate peace.
When the Maximalists laid down
their policy Of ending the war i'm
mediately, it was taken to mean that
they would accept what terms were
offered by Germany, demobilize their
armies, and proceed al once to divide
the land. Then was to come Utopia.
But already Lenine and his aides
are finding. that it is one thing to
talk peace and another thing TO. get
1t. This war cannot be ended by
one side only" said Lenine. I'VE Of
fer a just peace but we will not ac-
cept unjust terms.
Again he said: such a peace is to
be concluded not by diplomacy. but
by the representatives of the peo-
ple".
President Wilson didn't put it any
better. II he means that, then the
Maximalists are fighting for at least
one object that America is fighting
for. President Wilson said that 1t
would be impossible to discuss terms
of peace with the present German
government. Lenine insists on dis
cussing peace terms with 1.-The repre-
sentatives Of the people.
Lenine must know that the present
German government would never
tolerate any authority but its own in
discussing peace terms.
Nor was this all:
The new democracy Of Russia Of
fers immediate peace to our allies
and our enemies" he said. TN the
event Of receiving a negative reply
from Germany it will be necessary to
continue the war for democratic
ideals. Brothers, soldiers and COM
rades, you must understand thor
oughly that such war may have
terrible consequences. Its success
must depend upon a firm organiza-
ton and iron discipline of our
army.
Lenine discussing Iron discipline
in the army. is far removed from
the Lenine who demanded an i'm
mediate peace.
1t may be that the Maximalists
have realized that the Germans were
more likely to come than Utopia, If
they did not prosecute the war; or 1t
may. be that the attitude of the ex-
IRENE radicals now in control, has
been misrepresented, but certainly
these speeches Of Lenine's do not in
dictate any prospect of Russia drop
ping out of the fight except as a re-
suit Of her industrial and political
disorganization. If she fights until
she can talk peace with representa-
tives elected by the German people,
it will be quite long enough to suit
her allies.
Meanwhile Lenine appears to have
enough to occupy him, in holding his
job.

new YORK Scene
OF COSTLY FIRE
Another Disastrous Blaze
Sweeps Waterfront, De
stroying Factory

New York, Nov. 12.-New York
city's waterfront was the scene of
another disastrous fire yesterday
when the factory of the Washburn
Wire company, which was working
on large orders for the government,
was destroyed, with an estimated
loss of nearly $2,OOO,O00. The patrol
man who discovered the fire declared
he found three separate blazes in
the factory, which was housed in a
series of buildings extending from
117th and lis tn streets and half a
block deep on the East River front
in Harlem.
1t was said a score OF Germans
and an equal number OF Austrians,
only one OF whom possessed a zone
permit, were included in the force
Of 1000 employees in the factory. Only
about 35 men were in the factory
when the fire started.
The fire was one Of the most
spectacular of recent years in this
city. The buildings ranged from two
to six stories in height and only
parts of two Of them remain stand
ing.
Tenement houses nearby were
emptied OF occupants and 1T was only
with the greatest struggle by the
fined to the factory. Five firemen
were injured by falling walls, and a
water tower was demolished under
an avalanche of bricks. Tons of
barbed wire and other wire, placed
on sidewalks preparatory to loading
today and scattered through the fac
tory, were destroyed.
The flames apparently enveloped
the different buildings Of the fac
tory simultaneously, for the entire
plant was a mass of flames soon
after the fire started. Five alarms
called out all the fire-fighting ap-
paratus in large district. This was
augmented by a fleet OF fire patrol
boats, and railroad floats equipped
with high pressure hose which turn
ed streams of water into the flames
from the river.
. The factory was surrounded by
virtually a wall Of streaming hose,
but so great was the sweep Of flames,
that nearby buildings were in peril
more than three hours. Many
families in the adjacent tenements
early moved their household goods to
safety

cussion of peace. and that time

and they are welcome. Patriotism
isn't q commodity on which there is
any monopoly, or any attempt to es-
tablish one. Those who want to get

slightly. We might wait for the army

Ones Friends In This
War
by Charles Hanson ToWne Of The
fViuilantes.l

by Charles Hanson Towne Of The
/Vigilantes.)
One OF the heartening things to
come out of this war is the fact that
ones friends feel as we ourselves
feel about 1t. CT all the people
have known, except some of leu
tonic origin, only one has been pro-
German. 1t is a tribute to ones
gift Of selection, IL nothing else. The
one man who was pro- German has
switched since we entered the con-
fiict; but / cannot trust him in the
old way. For the issues were the
same in 1914 as in 1917; and / can
not believe that he who was blind
then has been given, through a
miracle, sudden sight. He is simply
expedient; and have no use for ex-
pedient people. They are the cowl
ards Of the world: the type who
would wear a mask and hope never
to have their deception discovered.
Also, have German friends who
are violently anti German--which is
wonderful indeed TO know. And they
have been the kind OF Germans
whom have always loved, and will
continue to love-the Germans with
vision; the Germans with justice
In their souls: the Germans with
righteousness and a high flame In
their hearts.
Thank God there are many of them
and many Of them who are my pro-
ally friends.

The Great Advance

(5y Thomas Walsh of The Vigil
antes.l
In my heaI& is the sound Of drums
And the sweep Of the bugles call
ing;
The day of the Great Adventure
comes,
And the tramp of feet is falling,
falling,
Ominous falling, everywhere,
BY street and lane. by field and
To answer the Voice appalling!
One by one they have put down
The tool. the pen, and the racquet;
One by one they have donned the
brown.
And the blue, the knapsack and
jacket;
With smile for the friend of a
happier day,
With kiss for the love that would
bid. them to stay
They are off by the train and
packet.
What fate. what star. what sun, what
field,
What sea shall know their daring?
Shall the battle reek or the dead calm
yield
Their wreaths that are preparing?
Shall they merely stand and wait the
call?
Shall they hear it, rush and .slay and
fall?-
What matter?-their swords are
barring!
We stand in the crowds that see
them go
We who are old and weak, I'M
ready;
We see the red blood, destined to
flow
Flushing their cheeks, as with
footstep steady
With a tramp and tramp, they file
along,
Our brave. our true. our young, our
strong
And the fever burns us fierce and
heady.
With God, then forth, by sea and
land,
To your Adventure beyond story,
No Argonaut, no Crusader band
Ere passed with such exceeding
glory!
Though We seek fields both strange
and far,
Ye are at home where heroes are!
Such is the prayer we send your

or a wife, a parent or a child 9
sweetheart or a lover. The awful
ness lay as much in what these peo-
pie had been yesterday as in what
they were today; that quiet and
peace as compared with this anguish
and desoIation.
1t must have seemed to this cody
young German divinity student like
the reproduction of the vision OF
Isaiah. Perhaps he recalled the ter
rible text For il shall be that as
wandering birds. as a scattered nest,
so shall the daughters Of Moab be at
the fords OF Arnon;" OF this per-
haps still more awful in its applica-
ton to such things as the German
erasement OF Louvain and Dinant.
Every one that is found shall be
thrust through; and every one that
is taken shall fall by the sword.
Their infants also shall be dashed
in pieces before their eyes; their
homes shall be spoiled and their
wives ravished."
His friend felt a deep embarrass-
ment to have thus brought the cody
young German divinity student to a
place where the disgrace of his coun-
try was thus openly displayed. But
he need have given himself no I'M
easiness. The godly young man was
not ashamed. The tears in his eyes
were Of true German piety at the
work OF the German god; for he
turned to his friend with the joy
full whisper, ooh my friend, war Is
Christ like! War Is Christ-like!"
Shameful perversion Of peoples
soul! He was a good young German
I'm the fashion of 1914 and there
fore he had to believe that war is
a good thing in itself.
This is the wolfishness against
which we fight in this war: and we
fight alongside the nations which
hate war but are forced to fight VOL
fishness. The world cannot be again
as it was, half despotic. 1t must be
all one or all the other within so
years. We fight to make it all
democratic.
