WORKING CLASS DEMANDS

T HE DEMANDS of the Zurich strikers stated by Vor- waerts, the socialist newspaper begin with the de- mand for accelerated conclusion ofa general peace without indemnities and without annexatons"
 The eighth and last demand calls for the institution of equal electoral suffrage by direct and secret ballot
 The order of presentation is significant The working class tired of and boodshd Therefore they place the demand peace ahead of the demand for equal universal and secret ballot
 The demand for participation of working class delegates negotiations for peace The Zurich workers value the privilege of participating in peace adjustments than the fundamental characterization of state instutons which is the seventh demand.
 This but another effort to make peace certain. The wormen feel that if their delegates sitting in the peace councils will be impossible for the negotiations to be imped ed by junker and militarist tactics.
 Third in order is demand for improvement in the food situation by better distribution The brings hunger and desirable than ballots To get food the workers propose end the and they propose distribute what food available in such fashion that there will be class of surfeited citizens while the working class is hungry
 In such situation the Kaiser may deal with the strong arm doing he must impair the solidarity of his ple he must bring the day when the German working class will overthrow the German throne.

 While the effect of Rule V, page S6, s. S. R., is to require boards to scrutinize marriages since May IS, 1917, it was never intended that rule should raise the presumption that every marriage since that date was effected with the pri- mary purpose of evading military service. That rule was intended to authorize the board to disre- gard the relationship created by clearly established "slacker mar riages" as a condition of depend ency, but each case must be care fully examined on it's own merits. No general rule can be laid down, but it may be stated that mar riage that carries no equivocal cir cumstance other than it's date is not to be so disregarded.
