Says German Defense Plan
May Bring Another Retreat

Copenhagen. oct. 2G.-Thc pcssibil-
ity OF a further German retreat on the
.Aisnc front is mentioned by Lieutcn-
ant General Won .Ardcnne, military ex-
pert Of the TaEeblntt of Berlin, III
discussing the French victory there.
He says the attack of the French un-
dOubtcdly will be repeated and al
though their chances Of ultimate sue
cess are slight 1t is well to remember
that the German plan Of defense does
not forbid voluntary abandonment,
under proper circumstances Of terri.
tory not essential to the great tactical
plan, 50 that losses may be reduced.
Even the loss Of Laon-although
this is In nOwise impending-would
not alter the strategic situation Of the
Germans" he writes.

Strike Bulletin Calls Upon
Workers to Cease 10 Pro-

Butte. Oct. .6.--Tom Campbell Dan
Shuvlin and a. Maxwell, acknowledged
leaders and founders of the Metal Mine
Workers unions Of Butte and Anucun-
da. l. W. W. organizations, have been
summoned to appear before the fed
cral grand jury now in session here
to explain statements printed in the
Joint Strike Bulletin. October 10, en-.
titled Seeing Democracy From the
Rear End of u Pullman purporting to
have been written by IL. II. Pohlman
Of the Seattle Daily Cali. Two other
men. unnamed, also have been sum
moned.
Puhman in his article states that
"thcre are 10000 men out on strike in
Butte" and refers to the trestle from
which Frank Little. ]. W. W. leader,
was lynched two months ago.
! That the article published in the
bulletin is really a haransue intended
| to stop production Of minerals for war
purposes is The opinion generally held
by federal officials here.
The part of the article upon which
the investigation is to be based reads
as follows:
| "Why go down into the depths Of
the earth to bring forth it's precious
minerals to make torpedoes and shells
! primers and percussion caps to sink
| to the bottom Of the sea laboriously
constructed ships, built by other work
| ing men: or to set off the powder that
| throws the shell that mansles and lnu-
tilates other working men? Why should
one group Of working men build for an
other group Of working men to de-
stroy? Why should one group of work
ers build implements. of death to muir
der other groups Of workers? II all
we build for is to destroy, why build
at all? If the guns we make are to
shoot us. why make them? Let work
ing men get together once and talk
this thing over. There seems to be
something very wrong. Let's put things
right.
Lets not only ask, with the Butte
miners, for work with better condi
tions and more pay, but let's go a lit
tie further and say we will do only
useful work. If you are going to us,
what we produce to build homes 70,
your harlots. or palaces for your pros.

titutes, or If you are going to buile
with II guns to shoot our brothers. theI
we refuse to labor, regardless of youl
conditions or Your terms. Unless yot
use what we produce for the better
ment of mankind we will not work
And there. brothers. we will, indeed
have started the industrial democ.

"The last paragraph of the article, tn,
paragraph upon which our inyestisa
tion will rest, has my heartiest con
demnation," said District Attorne!
Wheeler. I'VE intend to bring in of
