Resistance to War
Occasionally Ventured

Usually papers like the Nori MIR
halt before advising active resistance
TO the war but occasionally they tread
upon the very edge. In its issue FOR
August q it said;
The American worker does not
want TO sacrifice his life for the sake
of increasing the fortune of some
king of industry. The stand of the
American worker toward the war
does not yet appear in resolute and
consciously determined action He
acts instinctiveiy, as yet. The time
will soon come, however, when he will
act resolutcly as the result of care
ful consideration. OF that the pos
SCISSORS of power are afraid"
The NOri MIR is against the Root
mission TO Russia. It finds in Mr.
Roots speeches constant text for its
preachments that the war is capital.
istic and Americas entry was dictated
by the desire TO Cypress the working
men for the benefit of the wealthy.

Chicago May Bar German
Superintendent of Schools
Plans to Halt Study OF
Language

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.--John D. shoop'
Superintendent Of Schools, asked the
Chicago Board Of Education to-day 70
bar the teaching Of German In grade
schools.
Shoop, in making his recommended
ton, raised by implication the charge
that there were organized efforts TO
induce American children to study the
Kaiser's language. He recommended
that no pupil be solicited 70 take any
foreign language course. and that
schools in which It is to be taught be
limited to fifteen.
The reasons for the recommends
tions, Mr.. Shoop said, were that it cost
the board sl5,s5O annually TO teach
German in the schools, and that pupils
in grades below the se7enth should not
be burdened with the study Of foreign
languages

TINE special appeal Of the disloyal
L propagandists is to class feeling.
They print columns on columns of stuff
calculated to make the industrial work
crs feel that this country went into the
war only TO make them suffer. The
following example is from the NoUl
MIR. Russian PAPER published in New
York:
"ln the last three years the war
industry has put into the background
all other kinds of industry Mill
ions, tens of millions, of men, women
and children are busy manufacturing
rifles, guns. shells and other weapons,
instruments of murder. The produc-
ticn of. useful, necessary products
gives place TO the production Of muir
derous instruments. The ammuni.
tion kings heap up billions. But it is
not enough fer them. They want
more
The more the wealth Of the rich
grows the more misery and suffering
increase. The exploitation of suf-
fering has reached during the war
heights never before imagined The
government comes 10 the assistance
Of the capitalists, breaking strikes,
protecting the capitalist in his OPP
preston of the worker making the
worker a slave. II, until the war, the
capitalist gave the worker just what
was necessary TO maintain the plain
est living, now, in time Of war, the
worker earns much less than before
so that he must live like an animal
The capitalist and the government
backing him, with the press in its
service and nc official Church, tell
the worker that it must be so, that
he must starve, for our country is at
war, and everybody must sacrifice on
the altar of the country.
Millions of workers are bleeding
on the battlefelds. Other millions
arc starving to death, while the war
superprofts fill the pockets of the
masters Of life. The worker has 20
pay for the war. Some day the thun-
der Of the guns will stop, but tens of
years afterward the oppressed, the
poor classes, will still have 10 pay

interest on the loans the government
has made for the sake Of the war.

Wilson Restricts
Exemption Appeals
Governors of All States
Notified Politics Can Have
No Influence in Draft

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.-Prcsident
Wilson gave notice to all Governors Of
states to-day that in hearing claims
for exemption coming from the district
boards on the grounds Of occupation,
he would consider only evidence al
ready submitted TO the boards and
nothing else unless upon the boards
recommendation.
The effect of the Presidents action
is 70 shut out absolutely all appeals
Of a political nature or those which
may be brought by interested persons
with pull" and coniine consideration
Of the cases TO the evidence.
The following telegram was sent to
Governors by the provost marshal gem
cral:
Claims for exemption or discharge
on the ground Of engagement in indus
try and agriculture are within the
original jurisdiction Of the district
boards. Decision of the district boards
IS final, except that the President may
affirm. modify or reverse such decision,
in accordance with regulations pre-
scribed by him. The regulations pre-
scribed by the President provide for
appeal from the decision of the district
board on agricultural and industrial
claims, but the claim for appeal must
be filed with the district board who
will send all evidence and other matter
considered in the case 70 the Presi-
dent for his consideration.
IF, after the decision OF the district
board. il is decided to submit new mat
ter, the district board may reopen the
case, consider such new matter. and, II
it adheres 70 its original decision. for
ward such new matter to the President.
Matter not presented to the district
boards cannot be considered on appeal
to the President.
while district boards are not courts,
their function in passing on claims and
the function of the President in ex-
aiming their decisions is quasi-j udi-
cisl. Since the general rule must be
that nothing which was not presented
10 the district board can be considered
on appeal to the President, it would be
subversive of the spirit of the law and
violative Of the judicial function that
is being executed, TO make exceptions
in individual cases and receive sugges-
tions. urgings or statements from in
dividuals concerning particular cases
pending here on appeal

Pogroms Are Near,
Now Min" Asserts

The paper appeals to the emotion of
fear, saying:
Arrests and raids in mass are in
progress ana the meetings of citi-
zens are being dispersed. Pogroms
are near. But the national dissatis-
faction Is growing day by day"
This is another of the NoUi Mrs
statements about the war:
president Wilson is very much
afraid for the future Of Russia. But
both the Russian and the German
nations do not care for his inter
ference in their affairs. He has been
told this, not once, but many times.
Such manifestations, however, seem
to have no effect on him. He keeps
20 his utterance and continues Lis
fslsehoods. singing the old song Of
the 'unselfshness' Of the United
States-here, where open pillaee Is
manifesting itself and the intention
is plain Of American capitalism 70
enrich itself, while tho Morgans and
Rockefel!ers have their dirty hands
in the game.
"The American nation knows too
we'll that the sorrowful hand Of Viii
son has prepared 70 bear on It with
full weight, but the nation will know
how TO free itself from this hand,
just as other nations have known
how to break the chains by which
their sorrowful governments have
bound them"

gesting various changes The sub-com-
mittee hopes TO report the measure this
week TO the Senate, wnere plans al

committee TO amend the bill so that its
administration would be placed under
the Pension Office. which he proposed
be transferred TO the Treasury Depart
ment. in order 10 effect a large finan-
cial saving in carving the measure into
effect.
An amendment permitting disabled
soldiers TO remain under the care OF the
surgeon general Of the United States
during rehabilitation was urged by Dr..
Charles W Richardson, Of Washington.
The section which makes optional the
taking of insurance by enlisted men
was vigorously assailed by George f.
Ide, president Of re Home Life Insur-
ance Company, Of New York, who as
serted that it opened the door for fut-
ure pension legislation was too vague,
utterly unsound in principle" and was
class legislation. He added: at can
not be opposed simply as state insur-
ance, because it does not pretend TO sell
insurance at cost, but at less than cost
Some minor changes were made in
the bill at the suggestion OF Judge
Julian Mack, who drew the measure.
Labor's interest IN the passage at the
present session Of Congress of the sol
diers' insurance bill was submitted to
President Wilson to-day by President

Gompers said later the President was
in accord with the view that the meas
ure should be enacted now.

THE American nation did not want

Having started the war for their
