Included among the documents
seized, all of which are printed in
Russian, is "Novomirsl1y- maifesto of
ts-communists." This publi-
cation, the most recent put out by the
union, was, said by Mr.. Caravan to be
the most dangerous piece of propaganda
ever disseminated by any radical or
ganization in the United States.
The manifesto outlines the purpose
of the movement inaugurated by the
union as complete destruction of pri-
vate control of natural resources and
capital and complete destruction of
power of rule an dthe institution in
vested with powers to enforce rule of
one man over another"
Under the caption of what should
be our means of carrying on the fight?''
the manifesto says: What must we do
the vanguard of the proletariat? We
must consciously hasten the e!emen-
tary movement of the struggle of the
working class. We must convert small
strikes into general ones and convert
the latter into armed revolt of the
laboring masses against capital and
state.

kAISER'S FIELD KITCHEN
TO BE At WASHINGTON
Will Be Added to the Collection Of
Curiosities at the Smith
sonian Institution.

Washington.-To the collection OF
war trophies which the Smithsonian
institution is now gathering will be
added shortly the field kitchen OF
William Hohenzollern, late emperor
of Germany.
German prisoners of war this
week loaded the kitchen. which Is
said to be the most elaborate affair
of the kind, aboard a transport at
st. Nazaire, France, and it is on its
way to Washington. The kitchen
followed the kaiser all over Europe
during the war, but shows no signs of
damage, which is taken to indicate
that it kept as far to the rear as
did its imperial owner.
The institution, among other tro
phies, has been given the great war
map on which General Pershing and
his staff worked out the stragetical
problems which the American armies
carried through.
