TELLS WHY LABOR
WARS ON GERMAN
]. A. Seldom Explains Change
in Sentiment of British In
dustrial Classes. .......
DESERT PAClFIST RANKS

Before the outbreak of the great war
organized British labor was wholly pa
cifist. Today British labor whole-heart-
edly supports the war against Germany.
Reasons for this transformation are
stated by j. A. Seldom, British labor
leader. in a bulletin of the National Sc
curity League. Himself an outspoken
opponent of militarism in every form be-
fore the war. Mr.. Seldom now is leader
of Iabors cooperation in England's
struggle.
We have learned that Prussian mill
tarism must be destroyed, root ana
branch. and the only way to destroy IT
is to fight it, he states I'VE have real
fzed that this war is a death grappie
between systems which cannot co-eXlst
IL freedom is to be something mere than
a name. We know what the horrors OF
war are We know who is responsible
for these horrors.
Labor Does Its Part.
Labor has done more than approve
of the war and work to help on the
war. Long before conscription be-
came law. hundreds OF thousands OF
men gave up regular work to enlist
voluntarily in the army. If you want
to know the truth about the British
working man as a hghter, study tne
records of the British army. The
Scottish regiments, that enrolled tens
of thousands from the Clyde: the
Lancashire regiments. largely re-
cruited from factory hands and MIN
ers: the Durham regiments, with their
colliers: the regiments recruited in
prac ticaIly every industrial center tell
the same story. These are the men
and the sons of the men who fought
militarism before 1914 Now they
are fighting, and often enough dying,
in the army, and are glad and proud
to do So

Labor Does Its Part.
States Reasons for Change.

Answering the question of What has
brought about this change?' Mr.. Sid
donS continues:
in my own case, my official position
made it necessary for me, when the
war broke out, to consider all the facts
of the situation. not merely from my
personal point of view, but as a repre-
sentative OF labor. Accordingly, l
studied the state papers issued by the
different governments, by Germany and
Austria. as well as by England. France
and Russia. To me the evidence in
these documents was unmiSta kable.
Germany had first brought about the
situation leading up to the war, and
then had forced the war on Europe.
Using Austria her tool, and the
assassination of the Austrian crown
prince as a pretext, she had kindled the
blaze of war at the moment she
thought most favorable to herself. She
made Austria insist on impossible terms
from Seroia. and refuse any modifica-
tion, knowing that this would lead to
war. She got Russia to mobilize by
trick. She refused mediation.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Germany's at.

stir leniency in Allied countries is ex-
posed in semi-offcial diplomatic adj
vices here, revealing adequate though
limited food in Germany.
Cereals are plentiful enough to per.

Potatoes, the basis of the German
diet, were plentiful Oct. and officials
were considering raising the weekly
ration to nine pounds. Some towns
have enough to last them until next
spring.
Diplomats and food administration

one.

"The George Washington will be

SUNFLOWER SILAGE

SUNFLOWER SILAGE
AS CHICKEN FEED
The state agricultural experiment
station at Duluth is conducting
some interesting experiments this
winter in the feeding of silage to
poultry. The silage was made from
sunflOwers.
Corn is not a dependable crop in
some sections of the north, and the
sunfIower is being tested as one of
the subatitute crops for the prOduc-
ton of this feed. 1t has this advan-
tage that it is less susceptible Ito
early frosts and seems to thrive un-
der very adverse conditions during
the growing season.
Sunflower silage is worked up
readily if run through the ordinary
straw. cutter, an implement to be
found about any poultry plant OF
used is an oil barrel which will
hold about 400 pounds. One man
feeds. and operates the machine
while another packs the silage in
the barrel. A barrel can be readily
filled in half an hour or less if Plac-
ed below the machine, the silage
dropping down direct from the cut,
over a trough. as
All chickens did not eat with the
same relish at first, but it was MOTTO
able that each pen cleaned up a
larger quantity daily.
This plan is suggested to. any per-
son in northern Minnesota who is
troubled TO find a suitable winter
succu]ent feed for his birds, or to
add to those feeds they already use
with profit.-M. J. Thompson, super.
tendent, Duluth Experiment Sta
