MARK TWAIN'S LOYALTY

My kind of loyalty is loyalty
to ones country, not to its in
stitutions or its office holders.
The country is the real thing, the
substantial thing, the eternal
thing; it is the thing to watch
over, and care for, and be loyal
to; institutions are extraneous,
they are its mere clothing, and
clothing can wear out, become
ragged, cease to be comfortable,
cease to protect the body from
winter, disease and death. To be
loyal to rags. to shout for rags,
to worship. rags, to die for rags
that is a loyalty of unreason; it
is pure animal; it belongs to mon
archy; was invented by monarchy;
let monarchy keep it. The citi-
zen who thinks he sees that the
commemorative political clothes
are worn out, and yet holds his
peace and does not agitate for q
new suit, is disloyal; he is a trait

LEON TROTZKY AND THE WORLD WAR
(By Ida Crouch Hazlett)

mat the New ofk world should
be the first TO publish the book
Of Leon Trotzky, Minister of
Foreign Affairs in the revolution
AIRY government of Russia on "rhe
Bolsheviki and World Peace" is
one of the ironies of the present
capitalistic chaos.
The "N ogld" has always been
one of the most uncompromising
foes to Socialism that the metro
politan press possesses. It's at
tacks are continuous, slanderous,
futile and foolish. Then why has
it made feature of Trotzky's
book?
Strange as il may seem, the
answer undoubtedly is, that in the
state of intense stupidity that
marks the attitude of the Amer
lean press towards Socialism, the
World" has not realized the ire
mendous propaganda value the
publicity of this work would have;
but, attracted by Trotsky's attack
on Germany, and the attitude of
German Socialists, not knowing
that this is only reiteration of
the position of American Social
lists at the Emergency Convention,
it has thought that it would ad-
minister a singing rebuke to those
terrible German" Socialists, and
throw additional weight of pa
triotic hatred against Germany
out of the mouth Of the most ia
nous Socialist leader. The World"
does not yet know that all Social
lists in all countries hate all CAPT
talists alike.
Leon Trotzky was a Russian
journalist whose Socialist activi-
ties twice caused him to be sent
to Siberia. In 1905 he was Presi-
dent of the Soldiers and Work
mems Delegates. The beginning
Of the war in 1914 found him in
Berlin. Driven from Germany
he went to Switzerland. and about
year ago came to New York,
where he lived in a four-room
flat, supporting himself by lee
turing to German and Russian
groups, and as editorial writer on
Russian Socialist paper Novy
Mir. When the Gar was over
thrown he FASTENED back TO Rus
STA, and was detained some time
at Halifax, where he turned his
attention to converting the Ger
man prisoners to peace. He left
his manuscript here that it might
be preserved in case Of his death
With Kerensky's down fall he
came to the forefront in Russia.
His book is the most notable
contribution to international So
cialist literature in many a year.
1t reminds one of the writings Of
Frederick Engels in it's sweep of
the world situation. and a pro-
gram for the working class.
He boldly asserts that this war
proclaims the downfall Of the
capitalist state; that the forces Of
production have outgrown the linn
it's Of nation and state. and we
view the most colossal breakdown
in history Of an economic system
destroyed by its own inherent con-
fradictions. Imperialism has led
the capitalist nations into historic
chaos, and the revolutionary action
Of the masses is the only way
out Germany wants n Middle
European League Of Nations un-
der the control Of the German
state The task Of the prolctariat
rs 10 create the United States Of
the World War is the method
by which capitalism seeks to
solve its insolublc contradictions:
the prolctariat must oppose this

sian campaign in the Caucasus was
rendered fruitless by the rise of the
Bolsheviki to power. T.
For several weeks after the United
States declared war on Germany,
Turkey took no action. but on April
21, 1917 she severed diplomatic re-
lations. However, there has never
been a declaration Of war either by
the United States or Turkey.
Turkeys war activities under the
leadership of a Germanophile, like
Enver Pasha, has been marked by the
severity with which the Turks have
treated the subject nationalities in
their power.
The Turkish army has many Ger
man officers and the Turkish navy is
controlled by Germans.
1t is not unlikely that one Of the
principal provisions Of the armistice
will be that Allied warships shall oc-
cupy the Dardanelles and that Allied
troops shall take charge of Con-
stantinople.
