OUR GERMAN SOCIALISTS

Socialist leaders, including Mr.. Debs and Mr.. Berger
have confabulated for four days in Chicago, says the New
York Times. Indicated or unindicated, the confabulators
agree in sticking to the st. Louis platform, that docu-
ment Of 'unalterabe opposition to the war Just declared
by the government of the United States" a declaration
which was "a crime against the people of the United
stDes and against the nations Of the world" I'm all
modern history" continues this true German manifesto
there has been no war more unjustifiable than this war:
no greater dishonor has ever been forced upon the peo-
pie than that which the capitalist class is forcing upon
this nation against its will" ,
Mr.. Debs says that every message he has received in
his recent correspondence with members Of his party
was fraught with a spirit Of militant socialism," Mill.
tant German socialism, that is. These American major
ity Socialists are perfectly in accord with their comrades
in Germany. They are playing the German game. They
are hot for a German peace.
Let us keep in mind the principles ana purposes OF
these German Socialists in America. In effect and pur-
pose, these people are alien enemies.

HAVE
ENLARGED FORCE
Many More Clerks Needed
a in Offices to Handle
War Work.

Paris, July 2o.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press).-So great have
been the war demands upon the diplo-
matte and consular services of the
United States in France since America
entered the conflict hat the embassy
has had nearly to multiply eight times
its former strength in Paris and the
~consulates all over France have dou-
bled their forces. In addition there
have been established in Paris. either
in the embassy or in close liaison with
the Hoover food bureau and the COM
mittee on public information.
The working force at the embassy
before the war began was about 10,
exclusive OF secretaries and attaches.
Today it is so. About 20 clerks have
had to be brought over from Wash
ington to take care of the growing in
flux of work. ;,
At the embassy in pre-Yar times
there were two attaches-naval and
military. Today the naval attache has
four aides and a clerical force Of
about 10 persons; while the military
attache is surrounded by five aides
and from 15.to 10 clerical employees.
In addition a new attaches post has
been created, that >of scientific at
Durand. He represents the board of
inventions in France. and investigates
all inventions in France that may be
used in prosecuting the war success
fully.
The establishment in Paris Of a
branch of the bureau of public infor-
nation is another event of recent oc-
currence. Headed by James Kerney,

Obviously. If the regulations are, based on ordinarily
good sense. the test must be as to where the greater need
exists. The mere fact that a man has gone through the
form of marriage has no bearing on the subject.
With reference to college students. Mr.. Baker admits
that the problem is a difficult one. Two factors are to be
considered,in addition to the need for soldiers in the field
One of these is the right of the individual, the other II
the need, OF the nation for men trained as good colleges
train them. On the first of these two points. II ia +o he

ter OF some moment to any young man. But we are liv-
ing In a time OF Interruptions, and to exempt a young man
from service merely because it is to his interest that his
colleee education be completed without interruption while
the activities of all other men who do not happen to be
in college would be, as Mr.. Baker says, thoroughly UNI
democratic.
tne real problem comes up in connection with the
second point. If the war, should last long there would be
an imperative need in the army work for men trained as
they can be trained in college, and nowhere else. We need
now. and we will continue to need while the war lasts,
men trained in engineering, in chemistry, in physics, and
in practically every branch Of knowledge in which in
struction is given in a first class college. And, when the
war ia over, the world will still have need of men so train
ed in order that the work of rebuilding may be carried
on. ~
1t seems that the government must still futeher sub
divide its process Of selection and in some way ASSIGN to
certain young men the duty Of completing their college
work In order that they may be available for the work OF
the nation in peace or in war.

NO PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY

Germany cannot close this war with a military vic
tory. She has done her utmost in that direction, and has
failed. The Allies have demonstrated that with the force
now available they are able, not merely to check a Ger
man advance, but to carry out successfully a great Of
fensive against them. The Germans are now on the de-
fensive. and General Foch is now able to choose where
and when the great battles shall be fought. And every
day marks an increase of the Allied man power in the
field as ships from across the ocean discharge their loads
Of American soldiers and return for more.
The danger that the democracy of the world has to
fear is not that the Allied armies will be defeated, but
that through the activity of lend the war" propagandists,
democracy will be robbed of the fruits Of victory by be-
Ing deprived Of victory itself.
This war is not to be decided on points. Presently
the German attitude will be. more or less directly and
frankly expressed: I'VE admit that you are too strong
for US. Now let's get together and fix this thing up and
stop this awful slaughter"
We may not have a formal announcement Of that
will be at work creating sentiment in that direction in
In every community, and will use every conceivable
argument. Emphasis will be placed on the loss OF life.
on the continued suffering Of innocent people, on the
mounting bills Of expense, on the advancing cost~of liv-
ing and the dearth OF food. And II, by the use Of means
which Germany knows so well how to use. q state Of
public opinion can be created in the Allied countries in
favor Of calling the war off before 1t i4 properly finished.
Germany will have won the war. The acceptance Of that
doctrine by the Allies will mean the conclusion of peace
with an encountered Germany. ana an unconquered

WHERE THE WAR WILL BE WON

Quite frequently the question Of where the war will De
won crops up. It has been discussed in various forms on
both sides Of the battle lines. The general expectation
has been that the military decision would be reached on
the western front because of the fact that it is there that
the great armies are gathered, and, barring a huke, it is
the destruction Of armies that will win the war.
But Hindenburg was for a long time reported to en-
terrain the opinion that it was on the east front that the
grand decision would be reached. and it was believed
tnat MS acceptance OF the western front theory was, in
q measure. under protest The Russian armies were not
whipped; they were distntegrated. But, whether by mill
tary action or by political scheming, the Russian armies
went out of business. Still the war went on.
Recently there has been some revival of the discus
sion on the side Of the Allies, and while it is generally
accepted that the great battles must be in the west, the
east is again being emphasized in the discussion. Just
as the collapse Of Russia released for service in the west
those Of the kaiser's millions who had been occupied on
the Russian line. and made the German offensive Of last
spring possible, so the rehabilitation Of the Russian
power even in a very partial manner would call for the
presence In the east Of divisions which now can i'll be
spared from the west So a successful stroke lin the
Balkans. or on the Italian front, would add to the al
ready great embarrassment Of Austria, and would thereby
operate greatly to the disadvantage of Germany.
Wherever the battles are fought, this is all one war.
And it is to be expected that the Allies will overlook no
opportunity Of striking a blow at the enemy wherever
he can be reached. The pugilist who plans to dispose
of his adversary by a blow on the point of the Jaw does
mot neglect any chance that is offered to tap him over
the solar plexus. We may expect to see the British con-
tinue their pressure northward in Palestine and Arabia:
the combined Allied forces to harass the enemy from
Macedonia; the Italians with their recent reinforcements
from America and elsewhere to strike smashing blows
at the tottering Austrian empire; the western powers and
Japan to move along converging lines through RUSSIA,
with the Russians who are awaking to an appreciation
Of what real democracy means. All these things will be
done. in order that the enemy may be kept on the alert
In anticipation Of a blow from he knows, not what quar-
ter. But it is pretty safe to assume that the stage on
which the setting is already fairly well arranged on the
western front is the stage on which will be played out
the final acts Of the great drama
