hind the battle lines The mission of pick ed leaders Is to impose upon and mislead and inflame the workers. This done, the work of the German armies will be made easy in the end.
 Now Germany can promote and en- courage and mould socialism without fear, for she holds the workers under an iron hand. Her railroads and steel foundries and shipyards and mines are operated by the government Soldiers with bayonets and machine guns make short work of any strikers or shirkers or shouters in Ger many. As William English Walling, fa- nous writer upon socialistic subjects, well puts it, We may understand why the Ger man Socialists, living in an autocracy like the kaiserland, have been revolutionary in words and entirely loyal and conservative in deeds.
 It is not hard to understand The rec ords of the past year show 1t plainly to all who will look and learn. A few months ago the German Socialists and Bolsheviki and union workingmen were talking and threatening to high heaven about peace without indemnity and annexation. They were going to tie up war budgets in the reichstag They were demanding resigna- tions of the junkers. They wanted peace They threatened strikes. Russia was being destroyed the while Once the Russian arm ies had been disbanded by the Bolsheviki, squelched by an iron paw. His work had been done; let him be silent now A peace with indemnities and annexationS was forced down Russia's throat The toler- ent smile vanished from the face of Berlin; the soft hand changed to iron. We have the men now, let the drive in the west be- gin. Slaughter grim and great until our ends are accomplished A few of the so- cialist dupes who were really honest pro- tested and called strikes, but they were sup pressed with rifle fire and the leaders they vanished from the ken of man, leaving no trace behind. Only Berlin knows their fate
 So 1t IS Germany nourishes this viper brood in her breast, having the antidote of ruthless iron authority for its sting. But the free nations into the midst of which she sends this poisonous swarm, have not this antidote One mans voice and vote and action Is at par with another in this re- public It is slow and trying work to stop the frothings of the socialist here, and to curb the strike leader and gag the traitor and imprison the propagandist. Our ship yards and railroads and mines and steel foundries are open and unprotected against the terrible menace of misdirected and mis- informed union workers Day and night, every hour, the work goes on. From hum dred hidden sources ooze lies and hints and misgivings and whispers and suggestions to loyal workingmen. And when all Is said and done, these are nothing but the black, foul, blighting, blasting methods of the Russian Bolsheviki transplanted and re- vamped and overhauled to fit the occasion and meet the needs over here So far they have failed American workmen in the main have been loyal. Exceptions here and ther have not been of degree and pro- portion to alarm But the work goes on. Its danger remains.
 Do you doubt it2 Only few days ago a state wide strike was called right here in Arizona without cause or reason. Of course there was cause given. It was to help Mooney Bah! What were the nflu- ences behind that strike call? No one knows, or ever will know It failed because of the loyalty of American labor and it was promptly rescinded The stroke will come in some other form and launched by some ether hand next time Why doubt it? The following circular was issued by the Ger man foreign office as long ago as 1915, and was sent to every Germa2 consul in America:
 There have been established within the terri
 tory of the country where you special bu-
 reaus for the organization of propaganda in the
 countries that in the condition against
 Germany The propaganda will have for its ob-
 ject to propagate social upheavals, accompanied
