A MATTER OF COMPARISON.
Nau, Vnrk Tribune

It's all matter of comparison,
according to II. T. Webster, the
cartoonist, VINO told the following as
proof at meeting Of he Salmagundi
club:
"Shrapnel shrieked all about.
Bombs dropped from the sky, and
every so often q big German shell!
burst overhead, Suddenly one 1ani
began laughing.

Samuel Gompers has been the
strongest single influence in the ranks
of American organized labor for
many years. Sometimes he has been
in the wrong; mostly he has been
right. Bat never has he been more
completely right than now when he
is firmly resisting every attempt to
carry the union labor of this country
into the ranks of socialism, as nearly
all European labor has been carried
during the past decade.
The following from an address by
Gompers should be carefully read by
every American laborer and by every
American employer of labor. as we'll
Il want to tell you Socialists that I
have studied your philosophy; read
your works upon economies and not
the meanest Of them: studied your
standard works both IN English ana
Iferman--baye not only read, but
studied them. | have heard your
orators and watched the work of your
movement the world over. | have
kept close watch upon your doctrines
for thirty years; have been closely
associated with many of you. and
know how you think. too. what you
have IN your sleeve. And ] want to
say that | am entirely at variance
with your philosophy, | declare II
to you | am not only at variance
with your doctrines. but with your
philosophy. Economically, you are
unsound; socially, you are wrong; in
dustrially, you are an impossibility.'
Take all the books on socialism to-
gether with all the platforms of the
socialist parties, and. after cutting out
all of the non-essentials and boiling
down the residue, what do you get?
SO far as socialism makes for the
abolition of abuses and for attainment
of betterments, economic and social
well and good But socialism, all of
it, cherishes an illusion and proceeds
upon a falacy. 1t would like to abol-
ish work, or, since that cannot alto
gether be done, 10 pare work down to
such a smallness that nobody could
complain, not even the sluggard.
Socialism would establish Utopia,
material paradise. 1t is very hui
man, indeed, to wish to work no
more than will not Inconvenience one
self But when men stop working
hard, they starye. See Russia.
1t is uncomfortable that socialism,
in some one of its various forms. may
be able to subvert society, to occasion
losses, trouble, disaster. IT may be-
come powerful, enough to kill the pa
tient, but itself can never survive. II
contains its own doom. II allowed a
career it would quickly demonstrate
it's absnrdity in the catastrophe il
would bring with it.
in one country ia the world social
ism is now triumphant. Although
Russia is one of the richest countries
of the world in natural resources
and. even under despotism, was able
to produce enough not only to feed
itself but to export millions of dol
lars worth of foodstuffs to other
countries, under socialism the people
of Russia are starving, apd If the
starvation does not become universal
in that unhappy land it will be due
to the charity OF the non-socialist
people of the United States.
Socialism essays to abolish necessi-
". Bat all that this world of nature
constitutes for us human creatures
is a collection of necessities to which
we are bound, from which we car

PARALLEIIsM OF TWO WARS.

Again and again has the parallel
ism of the great war just closed and
our own civil war been remarked up
on. While the world war dwarfs
every other war. our civil war includ-
ed yet it is true that our civil war
was a much larger affair than any
waged in Europe between 1915 and
1914.
The field tactics of these two wars
differed, of course, but the strategies
were much alike. and when taken as
a whole the resemblance is marvel
GUS For three years the numerically
inferior but tactically superior south
baffled the north, although the south's
best genius and utmost sacrifice fail
ed to win for her decision, SO with
Germany Only in the fourth year Of
the war was the north enabled
through competent generalship and
unified strategy 10 bring her superb
GRITTY effectively to bear So with the
allies
With few exceptions the Napoleonic
battles were decisions. They were
victories in favor of the great CON
queror, as at Marango. Austerltz,
Jena and Friedland; or they were de-
'feats, as at Leipsic and Waterloo. In
each of Napolean's great battles, with
only a few exceptions, the result end
I'D tho immaculate war
But the battles of the great war for
three years brought no decisions, en-
cept such as are now seen to be local
ones-in Serbia, Poland and Rrma-
MIA. For the allies the Marine was
succeeded by the mighty struggle on
! the Aisne. The two Ypres battles
were drawn. Verdun, Ike Gettys-
burg, brought no immediate conse-
quences. The Somme, like Chancel-
louisville and Fredericksburg, involved
great bloodshed. but did not sensibly
alter the balance.
| From the beginning of our civil
war, the south had it's best genius in
command--Lee, the two Johnstons,
Stonewall Jackson and Lcngstrcet.
The north experimental for three
years with more or less incompetent
generals, and only in the fourth year
did Lincoln succeed in getting really
c BILE men as leaders of the pn' on
armies with unified command
The Germans, from the beginning,
had able generals under command OF
the general staff The allies. although
well commanded in their separate
armies. did not come to unity until
last March, and only then acquired a
genius competent to compete with
Hindenburg and Ludenorff,
! In the last year of the civil war the
south came to desperation. Jefferson
Davis deposed Joseph L. Johnston,
who was fighting defensively, and
staked all on the fiery Hood before
| Atlanta. The kaiser renowned the
advice of Hindenburg and consented
to the decisive drive under Ludendorff
toward Paris. Ludendorff's mighty
1'effort was one of despair.
But Hindenburg would have
achieved the same result. eventually,
as did Lee who fought defensively
| and with military genius seldom
equalled in the worlds history,
Lastly the sea blockade accounted
sor the conquest OF the south, as II
has done for Germany. The blockade
worked slowly in both instances, but
1t worked With sureness.
