 N 1T EVER had they seen bull like lIWl that one. He rushed gallantly O into the arena, though rather dazed at first by the sudden light after the darkness of his stall and the roars of thousands of people. But directly a pie ador pricked him, he seemed to fill the whole plaza with his magnificent on- slaughts.
 Soon there were neither men nor horses nor anything else left! In moment all the horses were down and their riders tossed in the air. The peons ran and the arena was in disarray as if branding had been going on. The audience clam ored for more horses while Coronel stood
 in the middle of the plaza waiting to turn and rend anyone who came out against him. The slightest invitation was sufficient to make him attack, no one had ever seen anything like him for mo- bility and power.
 When the death signal sounded he had l4 wounds in him and complete set of banderillas, yet he was as fresh and as brave as if he had never left his pas ture. Then
 Then the Marquis de Moraima, who had reared the noble brute. found himself, he know not how, behind the barrier, among the excited servants of the plaza and close to the matador who was slowly roll | ing up his muleta as though he wished to put off the moment when he should have to meet so formidable an enemy.

Social Democrats Condemn
Resolutions of Conference
Harmony Over Results of Meeting Berne Conspicuous
BY It's Most Apparent Absence, in Expressions of Dis
approval

capital and tabor found themselves
sometimes united agains, each other.
Before the war they conceived for
themselves the project SO magnificent
,iy formulated since and imposed upon
the governments: A league of nations
to assure peace. Now at the moment
when this league of nations enters the
domain OF reality--is this the time
when the masses of workingmen and
common people should cease working
for 1t?
In order that the league OF nations
become solid, everybody feels that 1t
cannot be confined to an association
of governments and states.
1t ought to be a great society of
peoples. supported by a society OF the
workers of democracy.
Now, even more than before the
war. does the working class feel the
necessity OF uniting against the power
Of capital which has increased in all
countries. and the governments have
learned that from the war itself must
spring arr irssFns,soraf labor se:.sss7ser
II is impossible to understand the
debates, conflicting attitudes. votes
and even the refusal of expression by
vote, at the Berne conference unless
II Is realized from the outset that evry-
thing that was said and done there was
permeated by the unanimous COnvtc-
ton that an international working
mems organization must be brought
into being.
|, But against this universal desire the
war has piled up terrible obstacles.
Here 1t is that the Socialist con-
science begins to feel disturbed. BY
its very nature the internationaie can
be a fraternal organization only. On
all red banners Is inscribed the legend :
"Workingrnen ofA< all : countries.

But for four years workingmen
have killed each other. French, Bel
gian and German Socialists had recent
ly called each other brothers" but
the kaiser's Socialists insolently invad
ed the labor halls and often maltreat-
ed their Comrades in the invaded
countries
This was undoubtedly done by order
OF their government and the general
staff, but the reichstag leaders through
four years remained accomplices OF
the imperial government and denied

BY Albert Thomas


Paris, Feb 24.The international So
ciaiist conference, recently held at
Berne, continues to cause commenta-
ries and criticisms. In the United
States the Social Democratic league
has published a manifesto objecting
vigorously against the resolutions
adopted by the conference and in
France number of Socialist Depu-
ties have solemnly recorded their dis
approval In a similar manifesto.
On the other hand, numerous per-
sons, even In the allied countries, de-
cIared the resolutions satisfactory. and
Premier Clemenceau took occasion to
receive the French delegates
All this points to worry and agita-
ton in the Socialists conscience and
indicates difficulties to be met after
wards by International Socialist ac-
ton.
The fundamental idea that dominat-
ed tire conference at Herne was that
there must and will exist at all costs
an international association OF work
ingmen. 1t is with that idea in mind
that Socialist party leaders In every
country, In spite of all obstacles, and
even without sufficient preparation.
wanted to convoke Immediately an as
sembly OF Socialists in every country.
It was because an international or
ganization must exist that the German
Majority Socialists. though knowing
that attacks awaited them. neverthe-
less went to Berne.
1t lis because an internationale ought
| to exist that the French Socialists, de-
spite commendable sentiments of pub
lie opinion In their country and de-
spite their personal bitter feelings. re-
solved to face the Germans forthwith.
Finally, It Is because an interna-
tionale will exist that even those who
refused to attend the Berne confer
ence will soon consent to attend the
regular International congress and
there resume the debate on the re-
sponsibilities Of Bolshevism@
1t is necessary to justify at length
this strong instructive idea Of Social
asts throughout the world Before the
war they felt that the battle against
money power, against special privi-
leges and capital, appeared in every
country more and more identical, and
- even beyond national frontiers
