Chicago, Sept. 3.--The breach be-
tween the conservative and radical ell
ements of the national socialist party
in session here was said to be wider
today than at any time since the left
wing and the right wing" factions
departed from the present organiza-
ton to form organizations OF their own.
The two wings" are composed OF the
radical elements.
The left wing faction is composed
almost wholly of the foreign language
radical socialists and their leaders
stated today that there was likelihood
Of their uniting with the right wing
element. The latter has organized into
the communist party. following heated
discussion over the name that should
be bestowed upon the new born. The
insistence Of II. Tickenor. of st. Louis,
finally prevailed in the selection of a
name. There are ffty-seven varieties
Of socialism, and perhaps more than
that" he said. but there Is only one
kind of a bolshevism and the world Is
having a hard time to stomach that.
Communism knows no race, nation,
breed or creed We've got to get the
word communism in the name some
place"
The meeting of communists was
thrown into commotion wnen detec-
tives arrested Dennis Il. Bait, reputed
to be an organizer for the !. w. W..
and took him from the hall. They had
been searching for him for a week on
a charge OF making seditious speech.

Secretary Of State Speaks at New Era
Conference.
Lake Geneva, Wis, Sept. S.-"To
bring men back to the spiritual stand
ard, to make Christ's principles an
impeling force in the reconstruction of
society and to teach men to think true
and live true, is the mighty task to
which the church is called" said Secre
tary of State Robert Lansing. in an
address yesterday to the New Era con-
ference of the Presbyterian church be-
ing held here, to lay out five year
program covering new problems and
conditions in which the world finds
itself after the war.
This is a time OF remodeling and
reconstructing," he said. "Out of the
ruins of the old world order shattered
by the war there must be erected
new structure based upon sounder prin-
ciples New ideas and new conceptions
of society's obligations to the individual
have been released, and there is mani
tested a radicalism in their advocacy
which threatens the disruption of the
present social order.
1.-THE peril lies in the exaltation OF
physical might. the false doctrine of
the right to do because of the power
to do, and assumption of selfish desire
as to the ultimate motive of human
action. The world can only meet this
grave situation by renewing and
strengthening its spiritual life. by men
