Expression Significant.

The conference was attended by $50
delegates, and was expected to place
on record an expression OF opinion from
British Dor on the war aims OF this
country. Its adoption OF the nemoran-
dunn is considered especially significant
in view of the peace negotiations be.
tween Germany and Russia.
The statement placed at the fore
front q demand for the restoration and
rehabilitation Of Belgium at the ex-
pense of Germany. II also dealt with
Alsace-Lorraine, Italy, the Balkans, Po-
land. Turkey and German African col
onies on lines similar to those suggest
ed in earlier documents on these sub.
iects.
Joseph HaveIock Wilson, president of
the international Seaman's Union, said:
Until we have made the German
nation feel that it has made grievous
mistake and it has repented OF It's,
crimes and foul murders our aim
should be to carry on the war" said
Mr.. Wilson. -
James Henry Thomas. assistant ren-
eral secretary of the Amalgamated So
ciety of Railway Servants, said that
when peace was discussed il must be
world peace. He added that if Ger
many did not agree to labor's war
aims labor must fight on to secure
what labor believed TO be right -
Russ Informed of Act.
At the conclusion of the conferences
M. Henderson telegraphed the results
| 10 the international socialist bureau
at stockholm. requesting that they be
communicated to the chairman of the
workmen,s and soldiers delegates in
Petrograd. Likewise he requested that
the strong desire of the conference
| against separate peace be made
| known to the Russians.

Baroness Iona Zollner. wife of Ger
man army officer fighting on the west
ern front, is held without bail in the
Chattanooga jail on the charge of vio-
lating the federal espionage act.
The baroness is the daughter of the
late Wilhelm Pickhardt, a New York
millionaire Her son. by a former mar
riage, is at the Naval Academy at An
napolis and is soon to become an officer
in the United States Navy.
When arrested at Chattanooga she was
in company with Lieut. John W. Spaid-
ing, young United States Army officer,
who admitted his infatuation with the
beautiful baroness.
The charge against her is based upon
a secret code she possessed and letters
she wrote to her sixteen-year-ol son.

MORE THAN ONE WAY
TO Be PRO-GERMAN
ANY Person Not WhoIehearted-
" for America Gives Aid
to the Enemy.
BY HERBERT QUICK,

United States Farm Loan Commissioners.
A pro-German is a man who, by pri-
vate or public utterances. stands in
the way of whole-hearted prosecution
of this war and the defeat of the Ger
man win to conquer.
He may do it by finding fault with
the conduct of the war. He may do it
by inapracticaole peace arguments. He
may do it through a mistaken policy.
He may do ii because he is in the pay
of the German government. He may
do It because he has been befooled and
BAN boozled by those who are in Ger
many's pay.
German Will Must Be Broken.
The German will to expansion by
conquest must be broken by defeat If
that rapacious will be not broken the
war will not give US peace. In all the
history of the world there never ex-
listed conquering nation less Mt to
rule others than are the Germans. This
lis true because the German policy is
so brutal. so cruel, so scientifically ex-
terminating. In the streets of every
town in German Poland children are
falling and dying of starvation. Chill
dren eight to twelve years Of age are
being carried through the streets by
their parents because they are too
weak to walk-because of starvation.
The Poles are being externainated as
fast as possible by the Germans just
AS the Arnlenians-the Oldest Christian
nation in the wor1d-are being exter--
minated by the Germans and Turks.
Why? Because Germany wants the
property of the Poles for Germans
after the war; and because they want
the property of the Armenians for the
Turks and Germans after the war.
Their will can and must be broken
by defeat. 1t is not the will of the in
dividua1 German. 1t is the bloody, bru
tai, cruel, deyilish will of the German
government and the German ruling
class, miseducated in the school which
believes that war is the summation of
human good.
A pro-German is any one who stands
in the way of our successful prosecu-
ton of the war. Every word that falls
from the tongue of any American or is
written by him carries with it a re-
sponsibility greater than ever existed
in the history of this nation. Look well
to what you say or do.
Germany has in this country hundreds
of papers printed in the German
tongue. Whether this ought to be or
not is a grave question. If any of these
papers are loyal, I do not know of them
Some of them may be. but ! have not
heard of them.
These and other papers and many in
dividuals say they are for America. but
none of them say they are against Ger
many.
Ae VINO is LOT us is against Germany.
He who is not against Germany. tooth
and nail. in this war is not for America
You can tell the pro-German by an
other test: If he is against France, or
against Italy, or against Russia, he is
pro-German.
The armies and navies of these DOW
ers are fighting our fight. They are
dying by thousands every day to make
the world safe for democracy. If we
win. we must win because Aaey do most
of the fighting and dying. while we only

SEES LONG FIGHT
AGAINST GERMANY
Nat T. Morley, in Letter to
Friend, Thinks War viii Not
End for Several Years.

II don't believe the war will end for
several years yet. Germany's military
machine has always been moderated.
Blasting Fritz out Of prepared posi-
tions is long and tedious job"
The above quotation is from letter
written by Nat T. Worley. former sport
writer on Washington paper. who is
now in France with engineers from

ter Is as follows:

No German Peace Wanted.

Is there any American who does not
long for peace? Not one. Neither is
there a Briton or Frenchman or italian
or Russian. But it must not be a Ger
man peace. leaving the great spider in
the center of his web waiting for an
other chance. It must be a real peace.
1t must be made with the German peo-
pie or with ruined Hohenzollern-
one or the other. But he who talks
peace as if he only longs for it, as if
he only were commissioned to make
peace, must want a different sort Of
peace from the sort we must have
Distrust him. He may be sincere, but
he may not be.
The world has in the past been con-
auered by traitors-oftener than it was
ever conquered by arms. The Mexican
people fought each other into slavery

She has filed this country with spies
