WORKERS PUT WAR
GUILT ON GERMANS
Attempt to Shift Blame to
Capitalism Fails.

Amsterdam, July 30.-The first reg
uIar session of the international
Trades Union congress opened under
the presidency of NJ. Oudegeest,| OF
the Dutch federation.
NJ. Oudegeest asserted the capital
istic systems of all countries were
responsible for the war" This was
vigorously protested against by the
American delegate, TObin. He con-
tended that "the monarchistic and
militaristic elements of Germany and
Austria were solely and entirely re-
sponsible.
1.-The American delegates" he, said,
will subscribe to no declarations that
capitalistic elements were responsible
for the war
Carl Legien, president of the Ger
man Federation Of Trades unions,
asserted the militaristic elements OF
America were just as responsible.
NJ. Oudegeest said it was intended
to discuss measures for checking capl-
talistic systems in order to prevent a
renewal of the devastations of war.
He continued:
"The second task is to discuss a
labor charter, particularly from the
standpoint of whether it meets the
wishes and desires of the labor class
es."
A telegram has been received from
the Italian delegates saying that as
the French authorities had refused to
wise the Italians passports they were
unable to attend. They protested
against the French action.
Leon Jouhaux, one of the French
representatives, proposed that a pro-
test should be sent to the French gov
ernment if it should be proved the
facts were as stated in the message.
"a Paris despatch says such pro-
test has been made by the French
General Federation Of Labor.)
At the preliminary meeting Satur-
day, Belgian, American, English and
French delegations made accusations
against the German workers for their
conduct during the war.
The Belgians said they had a man
date to state the grievances of Bel
gian workers. NJ. Mertens delivered
the indictment, declaring the German
trade sunionists had not protested
against their military authorities de-
porting Belgians.

PRIEST HELPED
 ALLIED MEN TO ESCAPE GERMANS

London, Oct. 19-(By the A P.)- Exploits of Father Meens who warn ed London of impending German air raids during the war and who work ed with Edith Cavell, the martyred d British nurse in aiding British pris- oners to escape from Belgium have just been disclosed by the Roman Catholic periodical, The Universe Father Meens, who lived in Brussels, was associated with the Allied Intel ligence Department.
 Once he disguised himself as cat tie driver, and making his way to Ostend, found the hiding place of the German submarines.
 Air raids to England, the priest learned, were usually preceded by a dinner of the officers of the Zeppe- lins and Gothas. By pretending to be a pastry cook, he discovered when the dinners were to be held. Carrier pigeons carried his messages to Hol- land, and before p. m. the British admiralty would have word of the coming raids.
 Escaped British prisoners seeking Nurse Caveu proceeded, disguised, to Brussels and were met there by a little girl of eleven. She used to car ry a big doll, run about and play and look in the shop windows. With out any sign on her part of recogniz- ing the soldiers she would lead them to the house where Nurse Cavell awaited them. There the men were bandaged, transformed into "hospi- tai patients and turned over to Baron Janssen," otherwise Father Meens, who took them across the frontier.
 On the night of Nurse Cavelrs ar rest, Father Meens had been sent to Holland to carry a message for Car dinal Mercier, thus escaping death, as he had arranged to meet at midnight two other conspirators both of whom were taken and shot

SINN FEINERS RELEASED FROM
 JAIL OCT, 17

Dublin, Nov. 17-Sinn Fein prison CTS in Dublin have been released un- der an order of Oct. IT, not as a mat ter of policy to affect opinion but in accordance with the provisions of the Cat and Mouse Act passed to deal in England with the suffra gettes. The prisoners were on a hunger strike and the authorities had either to release them or let them die. The plan of forcible feeding was conc eemned by the medical advisers of the govern nent and was abandoned.
 The prisoners did not receive par dons. Their sentences were suspend ed, and when they have recovered their health they can be rearrested and made to serve the remainder of their term.
 The hunger strikes arose out of the claim of the Sim Feiners that they should be treated not as criminals but as political prisoners. This claim has from time to time been conceded, but the application of the concession leads to constant disputes. There is a difference of opinion as to which of the prisoners are political. The pris- on authorities determine 1t by the nature of the charge and the sent ence. A man charged with aiming to set up a. Republic is political. If the charge is making speech in citing to violence, the prisoner is al- lowed no relaxations.
 The prisoners insist on being treat ed alike. When this is refused they destroy the furniture in their cells and endeavor to make government in the prison impossible. They are then handcuffed and put in solitary con fnement. Then they go on hunger strike. A few days of this puts many of them into a, condition which neces- sitates their removal to g. hospital. Release follows and they return to their homes where they are welcomed by sympathetic crowds, and where they generally continue the course of action which led to their imprison- ment. When in due course they are rearrested they are again the object of popular demonstrations. The whole process goes on continuously.
 The trouble of the administration arises from the fact that the sympathy of the masses of the population is with the prisoners.
