AGAINST MILITARISM
Bishop Gore, of England, Declares
That war Aims Ct Democracy Mean.
Bright Future for Workers. !. -


Labor must be CONVINCED that mill
tarism is only a necessity of the mo
ment; which will cease. to. exist as a
dominating force when. the war IS
over If the Allied Powers are to be
assured the full, constant, and un-

is the message to labor of Bishop
Charles Gore, of Oxford, England, who
is in this, country to allay. suspicion
as to the ultimate purposes of the
great defocratic Powers.
EFT is very necessary" the bishop de-
elares, that we crush Germany, but
it is also necessary that the allies
convince the workers that. they are
fighting not only for. the. overthrow
of their foee from without. but are
fighting as we'll for liberty and justice
to all classes, creeds, and colors with
in. If with the overthrow of Germany
this is rot accomplished the. war will
only have been partially won.
"One thing fear is that the mill
taristic spirit may obtain permanent

we must avoid. We must have it
thoroughly understood that militarism
is but e necessity of the moment and
in no sense permanent institution.
Democracy under military system is

He said that the future of labor
never was brighter and that capitals
attitude was never more generous.
He expressed the belief that these

"SAFETY-FIRST" is
PATRIOTISM

Every air pilot has to learn safety
first" ,Frites Louis Albert Lamb, in
thu sasety bulletin of the Illinois Steel
Co. IL is not a matter Of personal
cauti2n, merely. The air ~pilot:>seelly
expects to be killed sometime. The
chances are more than $3.50 that he
will be killed.
''Safety first with the air pilot, and
with everybody else just as much, is
in the interest Of patriotism and per-
feet service.
THE man who is killed is of no
more u1c to his country. The man
who is blinded, loses an arm, hand,
or foot, or, even finger. is to that
extent useless to his country.
Every time an air pilot takes a
chance. he does more than take a
chance for himself. He takes a chance
that he will deprive the United States
Army OF necessary fighting or bomb
ing plane. The loss of an airplane
may mean the loss Of battle;. the
loss o. battle may even mean the
loss Of q campaign, or even defeat In
the war. Safety first, therefore,
means more than the personal pro-
lection of the pilot or workman. 1t
means decent respect for the rights
of other airmen, soldiers and workmen.
ANY soldier who takes unnecessary
risks brings danger to himself and to
his comrades. Any workman who
thinks safety second, instead Of safe
ty first, does an unpatriotic as well as
foolish thing. Safety first is good
sense and real patriotism too"
