clined to take advantage of the op-
porlunity, with the result that Mr..
Wilson has proved to his own salts
faction and to that of the Whole body
Of the allies that, for the purposes
of the war, and all it's atrocities, Ger
man Socialism is equally responsible
with the Kohenzollerns. II any per-
son doubt this let him turn to the ut
terances of Philip Scheideplann, the
Socialist party leader, or study the
Socialistic utterances in the reichs-
tag during the progress of the war.
The fact is that SO long as the Ger
man Socialist thought that Germany
was going to win, and that a great
accession of material plumber and
economic advantage would accrue to
the Fatherland, the majority Social
list was as eager as the veriest Junker
for the sack of Paris or London and
the transfer of British and French
colonial possessions to the kaiser.
Everybody who understands the war
at all knows that this transfer of
colonial possessions was not only ar
ranged for, politically, previous to
the declaration of hostilities, but tina:
the economical distribution of the
loot was also arranged for with the
heads of different great. industries,
such as Her Thyssen, the iron kind
That, however las Mr.. Kipling says,
is another story. What is not an
other story is that so long as this great
access of material plumber seemed as
sured, and so long as it seemed certain
that the possession of great quantities
Of raw material would add. to the
wealth of the country, and so to the
prosperity of the pro1etariat, that pro-
letariat showed no signs of restive-
ness to the Prussian drill sergeant.
Now. however. that it has become evil
dent that Germany will emerge in
state of bankruptcy from the war,
and that the proletariat will be
weighed down with immense ac-cum-
ulated debts and deficits, there is
gradually being deliberately worked
up an ever increasing suggestion that
this proletariat has been as much of
slave of the Prussian drill sergeant
as the children of Israel were of the
taskmasters in Egypt.
1t is, of course, suggestion of the
rankest description, even though it
comes in the notes of the cooling of
the peace dove. And it is a sugges-
ton to-which it is necessary that the
allies should be come as entirely
awake as they have now become
awake to the mesmerism of German
invulnera bility which deceived them
during all the earlier wars of Arma-
geddon.

kuehlmann, in the reichstag, has
found articulation through, it will be
observed, the clerical and Socialistic
press in Germany, with the result that
the Socialistic and labor parties in
the belligerent and neutral nations a:e
called upon to take notice of the fact
that Germany is ready for demo-
cratic peace and that of course a
democratic pe2ee means no an,exa-
tons and no indem mites, or in plain
Eenglish, the Papal formula of gen.
eral conformation.
Now what all this means is extreme.
ly simple. 1t is that the bureau of
enemy psychology has discovered that
1t is no longer possible to use the old
methods and that consequently a new
method must be found. In an editor
ial which appeared some weeks ago,
in these columns, the statement was
made confidently, and has been en-
tirely jusytified, that the ropes of sug-
gestion with which, since the begin
ming of the war, Berlin had succeeded
in binding the allies, were cracking
in every direction. The fact was OBJ
vious enough and was the inevitable
result of getting the allies to under
stand that the principal enemies op-
posed to them were not flesh and
+ blood, but principalities and powers
and the ruels Of darkness of this
world. From that moment the bark
of the wolf had to give place to the
cooling of the dove, with the result
that it has become, just as necessary,
or perhaps even more necessary, for
humanity to. understand today the
methods of the dove than ever it was
for them to understand the methods
of the wolf. Specific members of the
Labor party in England may express
an inability to understand what Lord
Robert Cecil means by a peace Of
fensive," but that is a form of ig-
norance upon which the dove is
counting. Only, however, let: the al
lies permit themselves to listen to it's
cooling and be mesmerized into sign
ing a German democratic and gener-
>Ous peace, and. they will see the dove
changed at once back to the double
headed eagle which commenced the
struggle. Then the whole chastity
business of preparing for war will
again commence and the world will
discover that Armageddon will con-
tinue just precisely so long as it re-
mains susceptible to the suggestions
of evil.
Exactly what all this means has
been illustrated, at any time almo st
during the war, but the attitude Of
the Stockholm pacifists. Stockholm
in short, has come to be a byword
for pro-Germanism. Time and time
again the pacifists of Stockholm have
endeavored to bring about q peace
which must have been: entirely in
favor Of the Hapsburgs and the Ho-
henzollefns. It might be possible to
plead that this was not the case, if
it were possible to separate the Ger
man people from the German throne.
But the German people cannot be
separated from the German throne,
and have never shown the slightest
inclination to be. It is perfectly true
that Mr.. Wilson, for long time, en-
deavored to give the German people
the opportunity to disassociate them
selves from the throne. But it is
equally true that they absolutely de-

The whole world, of course, knows
that German secretaries Of state do
not make mistakes of the sort DR.. Won
Kuehlmann is charged with. They
may be short-sighted in their political
outlook, but even in this they reflect
the short-sightedness of the oligar-
chy of which the kaiser is the head
by divine right. But this is an en-
tirely different thing from making a
pronouncement of, so vital a subject
as the ability of the German army to
win the war. That DR.. Won Kuehl-
mann did cast reflection upon the
ability of the army to do this, and that
DR.. con kuehlmann's words were at
once echoed by the reptile press,
there is no doubt at all. And there
is equally little doubt that no matter
how loud the supposed anger! of the
kaiser may flame, DR.. Won Kuehlmann
was filling the appointed role just as
F.: completely as certain Japanese
statesman filled a somewhat similar
role in the case of the famous de-
mands upon China known as "Group
Five
To put it quite succinctly DR.. Won
.kuehlmann said what he meant and
knew exactly what he was doing.
And so did his superiors in the gov
eminent. DR.. Won Kuehlmanns ut
terances were intended, in short, not
so much for consumption in Germany,
as for consumption by the English

waerts is supporting evidence of this,
if supporting evidence were necessary.
This paper, which, willis nominally
under the control of the majority So
cial1sts, who might be called the i'm
perialistic Socialists, has become
pure government organ, proclaimed
the foreign minister's speech as the
offer of q democratic peace. The
Junker organs of course attacked this,
but this the part assigned to the
Junker organs in the comedy, and in
deed part which they would play,
in any case, provided they were given
a free hand. The anger and dis
pleasure of the kaiser is telegra phed
from the front, or rather it is al
lowed to be known at the front that
the kaiser has expressed anger and
displeasure. Then the guns at the
front begin to thunder in token of the
fact that Germany will never, never
make such a peace, on the contrary,

Second. That President Carranza
and President Wilson of the two Re-

present at this conference for such
periods as they may deem proper.
Third. That the Governors of the
border states be invited to attend this
International conference.
Fourth. That the subjects for
consideration at the international
conference shall be:
"(a) The establishment of the Pan
American Federation of Labor.
|. "(b) The7 esta blishment of better
conditions for workingmen who emf
crate from one country to another.
"(c) The establishment of a bet
ter understanding and relationship
between the peoples of the United
States and Mexico.
"(d) TO utilize every lawful and
honorable means for the protection
and promotion Of the rights, the in

Mexico.
"(e) To utilize every lawful and

friendly relations between the labor
lovements, the peoples and the Re-
publics of. Mexico and of the United
States"
OF the results to be gained through
a closer understanding of each other
on the part Of the organized labor
movements of the two countries, the
Federationist has the following to
say:
For Mutual Understanding.
1.-THE plan agreed upon in these
conferences is the practical method
! Of solving the difficulties that inter-
fered and still further threaten to
interfere with friendly relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States.
By organizing International agencies
! that stand for mutual justice and CO.
operation, for common interests,
power and opportunity is taken. from
those predatory elements which seek
! merely their own gain and special
! privileges at the expenses Of the peo-
pie of both countries. A meeting of
the minds and wills of the masses of
two countries represents new con-
ception of international diplomacy and
a new era in International relations
and organizations. !! p,
when the results of these Coop

GASOLINE SAVING SUNDAY
IS OBSERVED GENERALLY
Almost 100 Per Cent Response tc
Appeal, Fuel Administrator
Garfield Reports.

The first "non-joyriding" Sunday
designed to save gasoline to provide
increased supply for war use was a
great success. according to announce
ment made by Fuel Administrator
Garfield. =
Reports received at the admins
tration indicate that the appeal was
observed almost 100 per cent through
the whole territory east of the Mis-
sissippi river. Administrator Garfield
expressed pleasure at the patriotic
response to his request, and compli-
mented the automobile owners upon
their cooperation and their loyal
spirit.
From practically every large city it
was reported that the unnecessary
use of cars was almost entirely elimi-
mated on Sunday. The few who
sought to ignore the request for gaso-
line saving made themelves conspicu-
ously unpopular with the vast num-
Der who walked or patronized the
usual public vehicles.
In addition to the gasoline saving
accomplished the reports indicated
various additional benefits resulting
from the fuel administrations request.
In almost every city arrests for speed
ing and for careless driving were re-
duced to a minimum last Sunday, and
automobile accidents east of the Mis-
sissippi were practically eliminated.
