All previous wars sink into insig-
nificance when compared to the pres
ent struggle. At the Battle of Wat
erloo, for instance, the British had
only 36,240 troops. At the Battle
of Shiloh the Union forces numbered
SO 900 and the Confederates 100000.
At the Battle of Gettysburg the I'm
ion forces numbered 1850 and those
of the Confederates 68,352. The
British alone have 100000 men in
arms and the German army has in
round numbers 100000 men.

friends for their kindness in helping
them to put in their crop. Mr.. Weed
has been sick in the st. Joseph's hos

taken sick with ptomaine poisoning
and then erysipelas. It was a great
relief to him to learn that on last
Wednesday and Thursday a number
of his neighbors and friends came with
plows, harrows and drills and plowed
and seeded about 70 acres in the two
days. ~
There were about twenty-five differ
ent teams helping with the work and
was quite an unusual sight to see
eight gang plows, blowing in one field.
Mr.. Weed is getting along nicely
now and will soon be able to return
home.

purposes, or WAR, shall be ex.
Delled from the party.

The Socialist party met in nation
al convention in st. Louis last April
1t passed by vote of 14O to 81, a
declaration on the subject Of this par
ticular war which has since been rat
flied by referendum vote, thus max
ing the declaration the law Of the
party. This declaration says:
The Socialist party of the
United States in the present
grave crisis, solemnly reaffirms
its allegiance to the principle of
internationalism and working
class solidarity the world over,
and PROCLAIMS IT'S UNAL-
TERABLE OPPOSITION TO
THE WAR JUST DECLARED
BY THE GOVERNMENT OF
UNITED STATES.
This traitorous declaration goes on
to assert that the present war was
provoked by the ruling class Of this
country" and that it Cannot be justi-
fled even on the plea that it is a war
in defense Of American rights or Am
erican honor. Ruthless as the I'M
restricted submarine war policy of
the German government was and it,
1T is NOT AN INVASION OF THE
RIGHTS OF THE AMERICAN PEG
PIE AS SUCH, BUT ONLY AN IN
PREFERENCE WITH THE OPPOR-
TUNITY OF CERTAIN GROUPS
OF AMERICAN CAPITALISTS TO
COIN COLD PROFITS OUT OF THE
BLOOD AND SUFFERINGS OF
OUR FELLOW MEN IN THE WAR
RING COUNTRIES OF EUROPE.
AS if this were not enough, the par
ty declaration continued as follows:
"We brand the declaration of
war by our government as
crime against the people of the
United States and against the ma
tons of the world"
If Mr.. Townley, who is register
ed member of the Socialist party, or
Mr.. Van, Lear, who is its leader in
Minneapolis, or Mr. Emme, who is
it's candidate for mayor in St. Paul,
have ever repudiated this disloyal
declaration, or disowned the article
of the party constitution quoted
above, it has escaped Us. Protesta-
tions of loyalty, made either In the
fear of God or in the hope Of political
reward cannot possibly obscure the
issue. These men, as F. G. r. Gordon
pointed out in his address to the
Shriners on Friday last, are either
traitors to the country under whose
flag they are sheltered, or traitors to
the party of which they are leaders.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-05-02

It is believed that Germany is pre-
pairing to overrun Holland, Switzer-
land and Denmark. It appears that
the Huns are deliberately trying to
get into war with those small nations
over trivial matters. The kaiser is
giving orders to Holland but the
Hollanders are stubborn and are not
inclined to take them. Germany
wants more food from Switzerland.
German papers warn these nations
that their fate is apt to be that of
Belgium. Germany is said to be pre-
pairing for another great peace Of
fensive, and if she can overrun these
countries, she can hold them in pawn,
offering to restore them together
with Serbia and Belgium for a free
hand in Russia. In the event that
Holland goes to war with Germany,
United States troops will land in Hol-
land.
