a PEOPLES WAR

1.-THE great fact that stands out
above all the rest is that this is a
Peoples War, a war for freedom
and justice and self-government
amongst all the nations of the
world, war to make the world
safe for the peoples who live up
on it and have made it their own,
the German people themselves
included; and that with us rests
the choice TO break through all
these hypocrisies and patent
cheats and masks Of brute force
and help set the world free, or
else stand aside and let it be
dominated a long age through
by sheer weight Of arms and the
arbitrary choices of self-consti-
tuted masters, by the nation
which can maintain the biggest
armies and the most irresistible
armaments-a power to which
the world has afforded no par
allel and in the face of which
political freedom must withel
and perish. Woodrow Wilson

a JUST AND LASTING PEACE

The essential principles that
must underlie peace, as stated by
President Wilson, should be con-
stantly kept in mind. They show
the greatness and unselnshness
and justice of Americas war
aims. Briefly they are:
Cd The final settlement of
this war must be based upon
essential justice and each par
ticular case so adjusted as will
most likely bring a permanent
peace.
(2) Peoples and Provinces are
not to be bartered about as if
they we're mere chattels and
pawns ir. came.
90 Every territorial settle
ment must be made in the in
terest of and for the benefit of
the populations concerned and
not by way of compromising
claims of rival States.
az National aspirations must
be accorded all the satisfaction
possible, without introducing
new or perpetuating old ele-
ments of discord.

can manufacture such guns and

LABOR AND FREEDOM

The hope of labor lies in the

priest he begged incoherently:

Voices here and there interrupted: "How
about your tyranny" How about your
police?" How about your expressions and
persecution" What about the thousands
sent to Siberia?"
The ex-CZar was unable to continue.
asked the Sheriff that be permitted to
hear the last words of the prisoner alone,
without constant interruption. The judges
granted half an hour for this. During this
time the prisoner whispered to me in
broken sentences what he would have said

and emphatically.
What have you to answer to such
serious accusation" asked the stout lum.
Der dealer in broken Russian, rubbing his
hands triumphantly.
The Car looked at the judges and then
at the Red Guards who filled the dark hall.
He appeared bewildered and unable at
first to utter a word. For minute a dead
silence prevailed in the courtroom.

The judges glanced at each other and
with significant expression. The eX-CZaT
was evidently greatly excited and shocked
at the way he was being treated He turned
around as if TO see if there was a seat for
him.
Does any one of you, comrades, wish to
act as a lawyer for Mr.. Nicholas Roma
nOff?" asked the fat lumber dealer with a
hypocritica tone of sentiment as if to
prove that the tribunal of the people was
very just.
The Red Guards roared, and some voices
from the audience replied: The former
4utocrat knows the law anC can defend
himself without a lawyer" -'Bravoi"
yelled the others.
Mr.. Romanoff, if you have nothing more
to say il is useless for Va to waste our
time with you. We simply HI We to decide

said the chairman, gesticulating vigorously
and splitting literally over the table onto
the floor.
The fifth judge ordered an attendant TO
bring him bottle Of wine and some sand
wiches, which he began to eat on the table
n the courtroom. After a short whisper
ng conversation among the judges, they
'ose and left while the prisoner remained
.tanding between four Red Guards with
drawn swords. The audience was growing
noisy Voices here and there shouted
Hang the tyrant!" Down with the bour-
geOis autocrat!"
The ex-Czar felt something Ominous in
the air. looked round at the grnning faces

have a family. Will you fulfil my last re-
quest?" pleaded the prisoner with all his
power.
We'll, perhaps l will" stammered the
guard, and took the cross. The strength
of the prisoner was gone and he collapsed
again.
The horses were growing tired, for it
was a warm Summers night. The party
turned away from the main road and
stopped on a hill surrounded by pine trees
The prisoner sighed. The guards opened
the door and carried him out. 1t was still
dark. A slight band of the morning dawn
glimmered in the far east.
The former Autocrat of Russia stag
gered out of his carriage, supported by the
guards. For several minutes he looked
blankly around like one in a hypnotic
trance. The cool breeze of the Summer
morning was refreshing and one of the
functiOnaries offered him drink of cold
water Several hundred feet from the car
riages were dimly visible the shadOwy
figures of the Red Guards and the judges,
with moving lanterns in their hands and
behind them lOomed the CHASTITY outline of
a sCaffold.
The silence of the grave prevailed over
the place. Everything before the prison
er's eyes seemed CHASTITY, as he pressed
his hands to his face and tried to realize
what awaited him here.
"What-my GOd-what will you do
here?" asked the former Gar looking at
the scaf1Old and speaking to the Red
Guards, in broken sentences. The guards
did not reply.
