The Ex4seruice Mems International

The Ex-Service Mems International
was not intended to consist only of
labor and socialist organizations. Yet
every national body of ex.service men
which sent delegates to Geneva, sent
them with the same thoughts to ex-
press. Capitalism, they all agreed, is
the ultimate cause of all modern war.
The roots of war, they said, are to
be found in the capitalist system, and
the only way to end war is to tear
it up by its roots, to abolish capital.
ism the wide world over.
The first act of the congress was
therefore to pledge the ex.service men
who were represented there-British,
German, French, Austrian, Russian,
italian, Belgian, Rumanian, Swiss
to pledge them all to work together
to abolish the capitalist and compe-
titive system, and to strive to estab.
lish a worldwide cooperative form of
society.
But then arose some difference of
opinion. The Italians and some of the
French delegates expressed the view
that the matter should be left there
''Let us concentrate upon this one
thing" they said; "let us consider
only how we ex-Service men may help
to destroy the capitalist system.
The British and some German de-
legates were of different mind. Al
though they held that the only way
to abolish war was to abolish capi-
talism, and although they were al
ready pledged to do their utmost to
accomplish this, yet they urged that
it was possible, even while capitalism
continued, to render the making of
wars more difficult, to diminish the
chances of war They declared that
they must do something immediately;
that they could not afford to wait
until capitalism was abolished in every
country in the world, without taking
some precautionary measures in the
meantime.
Eventually the conference accepted
this view, though the Italians insisted
that, for them at any rate, it would
mean waste of time and effort. "The
Revolution, they said, "is so neal
at hand in Italy that we can con
slider nothing else."
The British delegates submitted that
the ex-scrvice men should help t.
abolish secret diplomacy (and espe
cially the power of the foreign Of
fices to commit the peoples to po
tential war behind their backs ani
without their knowledge); work fol
the abolition of ornaments every

There is not the slightest danger
that the railway corporations will re-

Labor Board, for the moderate i'd
crease granted the workers is prac.
tically of no concern to the employers,
since the earnings are guaranteed by
the government, and the increased
cost of operation will simly be passed
on to the public, of which the rail
way workers constitute a part. This
is frankly allowed by both the Labor
Board and the capitalist press. The
cost will be covered by increased
freight rates and the Chuck" will be
passed down the line to the consum-
ers, which means another increase in
the cost of living. Could anything be

ALLEGED ASSAILANT
OF WOMAN

A dispatch from Fallon says that
after being surrounded by a sherif's
posse in a deserted cabin about Is
miles from Fallon Sunday, Joseph
Cranmer, aged 10. accused Of attack
ing Mrs. Edward Morgan, wife OF a
Churchill County rancher, surrend-
cred and was brought to Fallon.
The posse headed by sheriff Wray
and a number of the State police has
been searching for Cranmer since
last Wednesday, when the attack
took place. Cranmer is said to have
invaded the Morgan home at night
and to have beaten Mrs. Morgan
when she interferred with his plans
for robbing the house. Mr.. Morgan
was away from the home at the time.
Cranmer had taken refuge in the
cabin a couple of days ago, he said.
He was trailed to the vicinity and a
number of the posse headed by James
Smith and II. Hoover surrounded the
cabin and summoned the fugitive to
surrender. Cranmer was heavily
armed and the posse waited until he
came out of the cabin before APP
preaching him. He offered no resist
ance to arrest.
The prisoner was later identified
by Mr.. Morgan as the man who had
worked on the Morgan farm early
this Summer and who was familiar
with the building there.
There was some talk at Fallon OF a
commission being appointed to pass
upon the accused mans sanity.
