Threatens Expulslons.
Realizing that without some source
of income, the miners request would
have to be dropped for the present at
least, Joe Tumulty, another well
known progressive miner Of Spring
field, sent out a curcular letter author
lied by the Springfield Educational
League calling for financial aid to
Watt and Thompson, to enable them
to respond to the miners request.
In circular letter harrington
slightingly refers to Thompson. Watt
and Parry as martyrs Of the ruthless
Harrington machine and well he may,
as the miners are learning fast that
their greatest enemy in the state is
Harrington himself, and any miner is
liable to be a martyr of HIS corrupt
machine at any moment. Farrington's
fear OF the awakened coal miners is
seen in his desperate effort to stop

Fake Peace Terms


PARIS, France, July 21s-The sue
eesses Of the Riffians in Morocco con-
tinue, in spite Of the fact that French
troops are steadily pouring into North
Africa. There are now 10000 French
soldiers opposing the Moroecans, and
the number will be increased to 2oo,-
600 before the end of the month, the
war office announces.
The sultan, puppet of the French,
has enforced obligatory CONSUMPTION,
and the French are now taking Mo-
roccans into their army at the point
Of the bayonet.
In desperate hand to hand fighting
with the bayonet, 1900 Riffians wiped
out more than half the forces of the
French garrison, near Teroual.
The railway into Fee has been cut
and the French are now forced to use
the motor highway to maintain com
munication. 7'
Two French aviators, Capt. Volokofi

the Rifians. They were seriously

TO

IN ALLIED PACT
Reply to France Is Con-

tspeeIaI to DC DaIIy worksrl

PARIS, France, July 21--Germany's
reply to the allied proposal for a
European treaty, which has been
handed to foreign Minister BRAND
but has not been made officially pub
lie, bears a conelliatory tone which
shows that the German state, under
the monarehIst president Hlndenburs
is willing to form an alliance against
the Soviet Union.
The British and American financi-
ers, whose governments are attempt
ing an anti-Soyiet agreement, have
forced Germany to come to these
terms by refusing to make loans
which German capitalists solicited
from them, unless the alliance is
pushed thru.
This is the Interpretation placed
here on the contents Of the German
note. The German government
agrees to enter the league of nations,
which has taken several measures
against the Soviet government, and
names conditions to her entry which
are not insurmountable.
One of the demands of the French
note to Germany on the proposed
security pact WAS that France be
permitted to rush troops thru Ger
many to Poland jim case that country
dominated by France, goes to war on
the Soviet Unipn

had hoped that the fight would
be won as early as possible, but u
was beyond all my hopes to gain
victory in the lower court. With
the exclusion of scientific evidence
and the decision Of the presiding
Judge declaring the anti-evolution
law to be constitutional, there was
not the least chance Of my acquitt-
al. The cause has not been daunt-
ed, but on the contrary, there is
more of determination to carry on
to a successful conclusion IN the
higher courts.
The jury in this court heard only
the evidence of two school boys,
who were put on the stand by the
prosecution. The expert testimony
Of scientists, which the Jury was
not allowed to hear, will be In the
records that will be taken before
the upper courts, and will enable
us to overthrow this verdict.
If the higher courts Of Tennessee
decide against US, the fight will be
taken to the supreme court Of the
United States. Defeat will not be
admitted unless the highest court Of
the land goes against US. We Will
stay by the ship and every point
will be fought out bitterly. Success

MOT since Henry Ford, the multi
IN millionaire fivver manufacturer,
made an ass of himself on the witness
stand in the Ford-Tribune libel trial,
when he referred to history as bunk"
has a man prominent in public life
showed up in so unfavorable a light
as the notorious mountebank William
jennings Bryan before the grilling
examination of Clarence barrow in
the Scopes trial at Dayton, Tennessee.
The DAILY WORKER declared that
this trial would deal deadly blow to
the church, and this goes for all
denominations. If it stopped right
now, after William Jennings Bryan
exhibited his colossal ignorance un-
der Darrow's grilling it is hard to see
how any self-respecting person can
defend the hocus pocus any longer.
DRYAN swallowed everything that
II the bible contains with much
greater ease than. the biblical whale
could have swallowed Jonah The
on their bellies because one Of them
was used by the devil to tempt Adam,
incidentally making a nan out of
him. God must have also cursed the
working class-they have crawled on
their bellies for centuries and have
eaten dust. Perhaps worker pro-
duced the apple that sent Adam and
Eve hunting for loin cloths! How
ever, the workers are beginning to
stand on their pins, tho they have no
reason to be thankful to the bible for
their access of manhood.
DERHAPS a Jesuit might have made
a better showing on the witness
stand than Bryan. OF course, a Jesuit
is too clever to go on the witness
stand, but if he did, barrow would
not have such an easy job The
Jesuit god is brought up to date. II
the British empire learned a trick OF
two in the art of managing colonies
thru the loss of the United States, the
catholic church learned a good dea
from its experience in burning here
tics. Calico was prosecuted anC
Bruno burned at the stake because
they gave expression to their dis
agreement with the catholic dogma
that the earth was fiat and stood still
while the sun and the other planets
moved around it. This was gods
word according to the church. They
admit now that god was all wet, il
that respect, yet they still expect vi
to believe in their specially created
deity--specially created to brighten vi
in giving up our own money.

new WAR ON
SOVIETS IS
geneva PLOT
Terrorism and War to
Overthrow Workers

MOSCOW, July 3.-(By MaiI)-
The leading article of the Pravda dis
closes upon the basis of authentic
communications, the work # the So
called league 10. B. r." which, in its
conference which took place in Ge-
neva In the end Of May, worked out
a new plan for the Struggle against
the comintern and the Soviet Union.
This plan consists of terrorist ac-
tivities on the one hand and the exer-
else of the required pressure upon the
capitalist governments coupled with
an anti-Soviet press campaign.
On July l, the league was to have
presented all bourgeois governments
with a memorandum in which an in
ternational conference for the discus
sion of measures in the fight against
the Soviet, Union was proposed.
Depended on British Government.
1t is worthy of remark that the Eng
lish and Finnish delegates to this con-
ference relied with particular conf
dence upon the support of the English
government.
These disclosures prove that the
League 20. B. r." the Justification
Of documents, the anti-Soviet cam
paign, the official and unofficial at
tacks upon the Soviet Union, the jour
ney of the organization consul mem
bers to Moscow, the press campaign
the visit of the English fleet to the
Baltic Sea, ETC., are all links in the
same chain.
All Evidences of New Attack.
Simultaneous with the imperialist
acts of violence in China and Moroc-
co, the imperialists are preparing an
anti-Soviet crusade. In a time when
the English people are suffering from
industrial crises and growing unem-
ployment, the English ministers make
war-like speeches.
However, they do not understand
that it is no longer so simple to de-
ceive the working class today, which
has experienced very much in the
world war and in the postwar period.
The working class will recognize in
time the danger the symptoms of
which showed themselves in the Mos
COW consul process and the Geneva
conference of the League 20. B. R."
