Socialists Are Divided.

vorwaerts has fallen foul of its own
party organ, the socialistic Internation-
al Korrespondenze, over its moderate
zone on President Wilson. This paper
says that Vorwaerts stands alone on
President Wilson's side and that no
other organ of German democracy
stands with 1t.
The Neue Badische Landeszeitung. a
moderate organ which heretofore has
been for compromise. is cited as saying
Even If We carry through democratiza-
tion and give President Wilson all the
guarantees heasks it would not avail,
because Mr.. Wilson is bent on peace of
the mailed fist. and aims at making our
people the slaves OF foreign nations
The national liberal Schwa ebische
Merkur of Stuttgart, commenting on
the note of President Wilson to the
Pope. says:
From all experience hereafter it
must be assumed that everything pos
sible will be done to keep the American
prejudice, but IL 1t is possible to break
the spell it will be through such drastic
revelations as the Soukhomlinoff case.
But when the calumny collapses
with which President Wilson introduces
his note. which, after all, does not end
in the rejection of the Pope's proposals.
then at least the way will be open for
the development of the peace idea
within the scope of the note itself. And
collapse must come when the full sig
nificance is realized of the fact that the
German emperor would have prevented
the war had not the Russian war party
succeeded in thwarting his noble pur-
pose"

NELSON ASKS INQUIRY
INTO WARRANT FOR SON
Wisconsin Representative Alleges
Offspring Is Not Subject to Ar
rest for Not Registering.

Representative Nelson of Wisconsin
has called on Attorney General Gregory
to investigate the action of the United
States attorney at Madison in issuing a
warrant for the representatives son,
Byron, on charge of evading registra-
ton under the draft law.
In letter to the Attorney general Rep
resentative Nelson shows that his son
was in Canada before the draft law was
enacted. He then presents statements
from the provost marshal general. the
secretary of War and the Secretary of
State to show that Americans in a for
eigr country are not compelled under
the law to register until within five
days after their return to the United
States, and that their registration while
outside the United States is entirely
voluntary. Mr.. Nelson also states that
the nearest American consul to where
his son was located in Canada had none
of the facilities for voluntary registra-
ton.
Unless there is some charge brought
against young Nelson other than failing
to register while in Canada, officials
here do not see how he is to be extra
dited and prosecuted as the United
States attorney proposes. Thousands of
other Americans abroad are in the same
category, and So far as known there is
no provision for extradition covering
such an offense, If 1t be one.
The case is puzzling to officials here,
who consider the probability that some
other charge may lie behind 1t. Rep
resentative Nelson voted against the
war resolution.
MADISON, Wis, September "a c.
Wolfe, United States district attorney,
announced late yesterday that a war
rant has been issued for the arrest OF
Byron Nelson, and that unless negotia-
tiopS now in progress for the young
man to register voluntarily succeed. Mr..
Wolfe will try to get him back into
the United States either through ex-
tradition or by some other means.

slider whether he shall take the stand.
During arguments on point of law
several days ago, counsel for the de-
tense pointed out that in no impeach-
ment case before the national con-
gress had the respondent testified.
Following this the counsel for the
board OF managers obtained. over the
objection of the defense. the admis-

THROUGH TO TOMBSTONE

County Attorney Ross was in Bis
bee Tuesday night on his way home
TO Tombstone from Douglas, where he
had been on business connected with
his official position. Mr.. Ross stated
that he had visited the Douglas caba-
rets on Monday night and saw nothing
that could be construed as a violation
of the law. "Of course" continued
Mr.. Ross. IF the Jaw is being violated.
it is hardly probable that any Offense
would be committed in my presence,
but | am not going alone on what
saw. A representative of my office
has been observing the cabarets for
some time, and will continue to do so.
They will be allowed no more liberty
than other individuals or firms. but
as long as the proprietors conduct or
derby places. and do not violate the
law, they will not be interfered with 4"
Mr.. Ross stated that the dancing now
going on in the cabarets does not con
stitute a violation of the state law
against conducting a dance hall. The
latter refers to places in which the
privilege of dancing is conditional on
the purchase of drinks.

''Down With Traitors"

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-Under the
caption. Down With Traitors" a
statement has been issued here by
the American Alliance of Labor and
Democracy declaring that the cause
of the upheaval in Russia, threatening
the success of the revolution, rests
with the hired traitors in America
traitors hired and paid for with Ger
man money under the pretense that
they represent American labor"
Deceived Russian Labor
These traitors have conveyed the
idea that American labor is against
the war and for separate peace in
Russia" the statement continues.
Russian labor believed it heard the
voice of American labor and instigat-
ed a counter revolution. The Russian
divisions and regiments that have
abandoned the field of battle did so
because reports had reached them of
traitors in America. This must cease.
The masks of these traitors must be
stripped from their faces"
For this purpose it was announced
mass meeting will be held here
September 10. at which Charles Ed
ward Russell. member of the Ameri-
can mission TO Russia; Samuel Com
pers and others will speak. The
speakers, it was announced, will voice
'the disgust and loathing of the willy
Vaccinations of the kaiser's TOOLS"
Assails Peoples Council
THE malicious falsehoods spread by
the so-called peoples and workmen's
councils will be nailed to the mast.
The insinuations against the Ameri-
can labor movement will be assailed
by labor's only spokesman. American
labor is loyal to the needs of the ma
tion, loyal to its war purposes in aim
