No Complaints offered.

We have failed to hear a seri-
Gus complaint in regard to the COM
pulsory use of wheat substitutes.
Everywhere people seem to recog-
nize that it is simply a question
of substitutes for those who stay
at home or substitutes for those
who are fighting in France. There
is not enough wheat for both. The
soldiers are the ones who should
have the wheat. We all want them
to have it-all of it if necessary.

Viglantes War Notes \

The leaders of organized labor who
belong to the American Alliance Tor
Labor and Democracy do not seem to
believe in peace discussions just now.
Here is Frank Bonn, for instance, saying:
!. "There is but one way for peace to
come quickly, and that is by revolution
in Germany. There is but one way to
secure revolution in Germany, and that
is by our hurriedly organizing every man
and woman, every dollar and days
work, for the field of battle. Every
word now spoken for peace weakens the
force of the revolutionary element in
Germany. Every word spoken and deed
done for uncompromising war hastens
the day of the German revolution"
Chester NJ. Wright, editor of the or
ganization, says:
"There was once pacifist.
"He opposed the war bitterly.
"There was once blind man.
"He couldn't see the mad dog
coming.
"These were two very sad cases.
To this he adds this report of the re-
| cent meeting Of the American Bolshe
wiki, as the pacifists are now named
ironically:
"Some pacifists have just held meet
ing in New York to talk about peace.
There were the usual peace gabblers in
attendance. And there was again this
fAet that stands out in almost every
meeting Of pacifists:

nent in the peace talk were those most

ven;ors, Masters Penrod Schofeld and
Samuel Williams. The pastime was
not intricate. When two enemies met,
they fenced spectacularly until the
person Of one or the other was touched
by the opposing weapon; then. when
the ensuing claims Of foul play had
been disallowed and the subsequent
argument settled, the combatant
touched was considered to be q pris-
oner until such time as he might be

fected his release and restored to him
the full enjoyment Of hostile activity.
Pending such rescue, however, he was
obliged to accompany the forces Of his
captor whithersoever their strategical
necessities led them, which included
many strange places. For the game
was exciting, and, at its highest
pitch, would sweep out Of an alley
into a stable, out of that stable and
into a yard, out Of that yard and into
q house, and through that house with
the sound (and effect upon furniture)
of trampling herds. In fact, this very
similarity must have been in the mind
of the distressed colored woman In
Mrs. Williams kitchen. when she de-
clared that she might "jes' as we'll try

Vermau was unfortunately tongue
tied, but be was, valiant beyond all
others. and, In spite Of every handi'

port Of his own party and the despair
Of the opposition.
On the third Saturday this OPPOSE
hon had been worn down by the sue
cessive captures Of Maurice Levy and
George Bassett until 1t consisted OF
only Sam Williams and Penrod.
Hence, 1t behooved these two to be
wary, lest they be wiped out altogeth-
er: and Sam was dismayed, indeed
upon cautiously scouting round cor
ner Of his own stable, to find himself
fnce to face with the valorous and
skillful ,Verman, who was acting as
an outpost, or picket, Of the enemy.
Verman Immediately fell upon Sam,
horse and foot, and Sam would have
fed but dared not, for fear he might
be touched from the rear. Therefore,
he defended himself as best he could,
and there followed lusty whacking,
In the course of which Verman's hat,
relic and too large, fell from his
head, touching Sans weapon IN fall

mediately. "That counts! You're

"Aim meewerI" Verman protested.
Interpreting this as "Ain't neither"
Sam invented law to suit the occa-
sion. Eyes, you are; that's the rule
Verman. I touched your hat with my
sword, and your hats just the same

HUMAN SLAUGHTER
OVER ALL FINLAND

London, May Silvia Ottawa
A London dispatch says the cen
tral committee OF Finnish work
men has protested against the ter
rorism of Finland by the White
Guard, stating that seventy thou
sand persons, the majority of them
social democrats, have been im-
prisoned and brutally treated. OF
these, 10000 are civilians.
The wholesale slaughter of pris-
oners was begun by Finnish troops,
assisted by the Germans. In one
day, the dispatch continues, l5S
women prisoners were killed. Many
sisters of mercy of the sacred
guard were put to death without
trial. Trial court martials still are
condemning persons to death ell
masse, although the war is over.
The proletariat calls to the civ
ilized world in the name of human
ity to stop this reign Of terrorism.
