THIS IS LABORS WAR
This is 1ahor's war; No element of the people of
this country or of other countries would sufer more
than the workers from German victory-a German
peace.
What the Germans mean by "strong peace" a
German peace" recently expressed oy Gen. Won
Liebert a leading Prussian conservative.
"For US there is but one principle TO oe Followed,
and we recognize no other We hold that might is
right We must know neither sentiment, humanity,
consideration compassion we must nave BEL
gium and the north of France. France must be made
to pay until she is bled white We must nave strong
peace"

"The Republic of the United States is not perfect;
it has the imperfecons of the human-but it is the
best country the face of the earth and those who
do not love it enough to work for it, to fight for it, to
die for it, are not worthy of the privilege of living in it.

peace with the American workers. you can't talk peace
with u.s. you can't talk at all now We are fight
ing now Either you smash your Kaiser autocracy or
we will smash it for you"
The workingmen of America have a tremendous
interest to serve, vital to defend work OF sur
passing importance to accomplish. What is vital to
them is vital to America and to the world. That they
see their duty and the great mass Of them are per-
forming it with unimpeachable loyalty is cause for
congratuation to the Nation and to the world

cas- activities lies in the fact that the only man
with real authority, the one legally empowered
and able to issue direct orders every Of the
dozen autonomous governmental departments, is the
President, and he rarely exercises this power. He

too technical to be supervised and directed by one
