NEWARK, y. j.. Jan. Declaring
"thcre is absolutely no difference be-
tween the actions of the Car and of
Trotzky and Leninc, they both use the
army to suppress the expression of
popular government" Samuel Gompers
day flayed the Bolsheviki, who he de-
clared, "have made the people of Rus
sla crawl upon their bellies and ask
for mercy at the hands of the Kaiser"
Mr.. Gompers was the chief speaker
at the convention Of the National Labor
Publicity Organization, formed a year
ago to aid in combating those who
would use the labor movement for Ger
many's end To the convention, held
IN City Hall, thirty-fve organizations
sent siSty-five delegates, some from
points IS far west as Chicago.
Mr.. Gompers began his speech by
saying: "If we had not gone over there
to sight they would have come over
here to fight US" Then he continued:
Bolshcviki Nearing End
Il might venture my opinion-let it
cone or not, and whatever reputation
may have rs one who can give ex-
preston to events which have not vet
transplrcd-I venture to express the
opinion that the days Of the Bolshe-

end and that the great democracy Of
Russia, the intelligent, the practical,
the good and the true men, who are
lighting the battles and who are ready
TO bear the brunt Of the struggle to
bring a better and brighter day to
the Russian peoplc-that day is near
at hand.
"If ever there was q cause for CON
demnation of a people attempting to
assume the powers of government, the
cCndcmnatior Of the Bolsheviki is
fully deserved, particularly by reason
OF their action within this last day or

Two Plans Presented
After a thorough discussion of the
situation one of two plans was declared
70 be essential. One was that all ad-
dit!onal freight must be barred from
the railroads for specified period to
permit the relief of congestion and
the advancement of coal shipments.
The other was that the wheels of Amer
lcan industry must stop for some DAYS
20 enable the railroads to catch up
with their increasing burdens.
both these plans were fully discussed
by members Of the War Council At

The Danes never have been fooled
concerning pan-Germanist aspirations
in the direction of their own country.
They know that Germany entertains
o the slightest regard for the rights
of neutrals, and that if anything they
possess is wanted by Germany no COM
Functions will prevent her taking it,
says New York Herald. Can it be
wondered if they regard this Berlin
talk of "reprisal"-for something that
has not happened and which Berlin
knows is not going to happen-as in
dication that the raping soon will be-
gin?

1t is generally known that our allies
have asked Holland to stop the ship
ment of sand and gravel by the Ger
mans into Belgium and northern
France to be used for sandbags and
trench defenses and for other military
purposes, says Youths Companion.
But it is not so widely known that it
has been the practice for some time
of the Germans to load up the trains
for the return trip to Germany with
loan and other topsoil, SO that when
the ex%patriated farmers return to
their devastated homes they will find
nothing except the barren subsoil. The
disciples of Kultur must consider the
stealing of the topsoil as a particular
ly clever way to combine destruction
and profit.

ALL FACE NJ WAY.

In spite Of the sadness and horror
kindled by the war, there is a mys-
terious peace and happiness in all
hearts. We wonder why we are not
altogether discouraged and broken
spirited over that "frightfulness' of
which Jul daily papers are so full, and
why, at times, we feel a certain
of lightness and exultation. 1t is be-
cause we are conscious of harmonious
action as a nation. 1t Is because we
are doing something In unison as a
great and determined people. 1t is
with divine emotions. 1t is impossible
to exaggerate or to describe this joy
of united thought and feeling and ac-
ton. Men thrill with 1t when singing
together al immortal hymn; when
marching together in an endless pro-
cession; when swayed by the elo-
quence of an inspired leader, as the
caves of trees or stalks of grain are
swayed by a passing wind. Let us
keep in step. We must minimize all
differences. 1t is our duty to allay
d%iscorGant notes and to stay In tune.
1t is this sense of united effort which
exults us-this mythical systole of a
hundred million hearts. I'm unity
there is strength"

GERMANY Is

In spite of what has happened In
Russia and Italy. Germany is beaten.
The Russian counter-revolution and
the Italian collapse may prolong the
resistance of the German peoples by
renewing the hope of a favorable
peace. but Germany is as surely beat
en- as the Southern Confederacy was
in 1864, when Early's troops camped
in sight of Washington and could have
seized the capital. The United States
will PROFESSIONALLY be obliged to in
crease its efforts. The American peo-
pie must abandon the notion that the
war will be won for them by Russians
and Italians, or that anybody can do
for them what they must do for them
selves, say New York World. But
Germany, nevertheless. will be beaten,
and the victory will be won by France,
Great Britain and the United States,
whatever happens to Russia, whatever
happens to Italy and whatever hap
pens to any other country that is at
wal with PrusSianism.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-03-09

The heart of America Is touched by
the simple e~loquence of the unnamed
French officer who paid the tribute
of his country to our heroic SON. who
were first to die for freedom on the
soil of France. "We ask that the NOR
tai remains of these young men be left
with us forever" This was his re-
quest. And so the life of America is
woven into the fabric of its great sis
ter republic, even as the life of France
was ove into ours. The tie is indis-
soluble, says Rocky Mountain News.
The graves of Enright, Gresham and
Hay will forever speak the spiritual
kinship of the two peoples. The pass
ing world will pause in gratitude and
admiration for this strange, splendid
hour when nations, parted by 5000
miles of ocean, mingled their bravest
blood for the salvation of the race.
