HUMAN SLAVERY REVIVED BY GERMAN
C0NQUERORS; ENSLAVES WORkMEN
Carried Thousands and Forced to Work
for Wage of Cents Day. Skilled and Unsklled
of Conquered Lane Receive Treatment
of Merciless German Officers

Involuntary idleness which the ty-
rant has himself forced and main
tanned.
1.-The Germans seize our workmen
by force, your brothers and ours
they arrest them by thousands every
day; they tear them away from their
wives and their children; surrounded
by bayonets they drag them to the
cattle trucks, and in these they take
them away to the front and to Ger
many.
Forced to Work for Enemy.
.'On the western front they force
them, by the most brutal means, to
dig trenches, construct military avia-
tion grounds, make strategical roads
and fortify German lines, And when
their victims, in spite Of all, refuse
to work on these defenses, according
to their rights laid down in interna-
tional law, they starve them, they i'll
treat them, they beat them, they cause
them to contract illness, they wound
them, sometimes even they kill them.
in Germany they are taken forci-
bly, to the mines, quarries and lime
kilns, whatever their age, profession
or trade may be. They are deported,
pell-mell, young men Of II and old
men of 60 and more. Is not this an
cient slavery in all its horror?
There are already Ii. e. in 1870
more than $4,000 workmen, whether
out Of work or not, who have been
deported as convicts or slaves. Every
day they make a clean sweep of a
fresh district; formidable weapons
are set up-machine guns-and in
Vulnerable soldiers are called out, and
all these military measures are taken
against these poor, unarmed people
who are terrorized, tho conscious of
their violated rights"
Since this appeal was first issued
the deportations, according TO press
dispatches. have continued regularly,
and have even EXTENDED 90 the women
who have been carried away by thou
sands. The younger and prettier the
women are. according % these reports,
the more in demand they are. You,
as intelligent men, may draw your
own conclusions.
Can any American workman believe
that Germany, if it had the opportu-
nifty. would not treat them just as it
has treated Belgian workmen? Can
American workmen talk Of making
peace with a nation which so treats
its own working classes and the work
ers of conquered lands Do we not
all realize that this war must be
fought out to a finish, and that the
finish viii only be when the military
minority in Germany shall be deprived
of the power to plunge world into
war and enslave millions of working

BIG DRIVE HAS BEEN 1NST1-
TUTED IN DENVER.
Marine Corps Recruiting Offices Are
Busy in Getting Men for Their
New Quota: Boy Scouts Assist

Upon telegraphic orders from
Washington. the marine corps recruit
ing offices are busy in getting men
for their new quota. They have insti-
tuted a big drive in Denver by having
the boy scouts pastinC and tacking
posters regarding the marine corps,
the illuminated sign people volun-
teered to flash marine corps from their
sign on top of the Interstate building,
the street car company have placed
$50 posters in their cars, the express
companies and the theaters are doing
their share to bring to full strength
the marine corps for the third time
since war was declared. The marines
were the first branch to fill up to war
strength. which speaks of its popu-
larity.
Marines will be accepted for the
duration of the war if they so desire.
Drafted men are able to join the ma
rines il they have the local board s
permission to enlist voluntarily.
The age limit is Is to S5, height
limit to be five feet four inches to
six feet.
Officers in the marine corps will be
chosen from the enlisted men, thus
giving every worthy enlisted man a
chance to become an officer in an or
ganization which is called the best
military in the world
Marine corps recruiting offices are
located at the following places: 1905
Larimer street, Denver, Colo; Pueblo,
Colo, Trinidad, Colo, Greeley, Colo,
and Cheyenne, Wyo. Marine enlist
ments will be accepted only at ma
fine corps recruiting stations.

this particular treatment" That is
confession, visit to the little box in
some dark corner of a church where
sits one with power to make the past
forgiven and to give that ease of con-
science which is essential to carrying
out every resolution of amendment. OF
the 419 boys, 2S5 were induced to re-
ceive the Sacrament of Penance. With
rs of this number the specialist went
himself to the church and saw them
perform this duty. In 210 other cases
he had the assurances of father, moth
er or friend that the boy had followed
this item of the advice he had re-
ceived.
Then there is another method popu-
lar with the boy-saving specialist.
Here it may be noted that the special
list often meets his success because he
observes things and uses methods
that are so common that many an
ether overlooks them. Even so, Mr.
Powers, in his effort to reconstruct OF
to save from blasting the lives of the
young boys, has one method that Is in
variably applied when circumstances
require it. If the boy is idle and with
out work, position is found for him.
Thus respectful attention is paid to a
very aged proverb that tells of the idle
brain being a workshop of the devil.
Mr.. Powers has acquired wide CIR
Gle of friends to whom he looks for
assistance In this respect and scarcely
one but some morning has heard the
specialist on the other end of the wire
say that he has a boy who needs work.
Always the effort is made to make the
occupation congenial to the worker
and in some line in which he is spe-
cially Interested.
All of which that has been written
so far surely convinces that the boy
saving specialist is busy person.
But mere occupation does not entitle
to the distinction of being a specialist.
There must be something more. The
specialist must necessarily meet with
success in his efforts. That is very
essential.
And does the boy-speciaIist meet
with success?
The answer we have left for the
very last sentence. Without comment
we offer it that it may not be weak
ened but strike with its full signii-
canoe. It needs either limitation, nor
exception, nor explanation nor any
thing else. The fact is that
Not one boy who has been commit
30 II
has ever repeated his offense or even
been brought back to court on any
other charge.
