Government Lies Are Exposed

he finds another situation entirely.
The army is so upright and honest in
everything else it does-then why
practice this one deception upon the
young men who visit the recruiting
stations in mainland cities? Why
paint a soldiers life in Hawaii as
one long summers dream beneath
palm trees and upon sunny beaches,
with Hawaiian sirens to help them
while their hours away?"
This confession by q capitalist
newspaper is significant. 1t reveals
the deception practiced by the War
Department in Turing young workers
into the army for use as cannon fod-
der in imperialist wars and the in
evitable disillusionment of the re-
cruit. But it does not tell the story
of the extremely brutal treatment by
the officers and the systematic tor
ture of the soldiers-the real cause
of the "hell hole"
We must tell the rest of the story
of army life to the workers-we must
get the facts from the soldiers them
selves and make them public.
The harsh treatment of the soldier
is not without purpose. It is the
deliberate intention of the military
authorities to crush all human in
stincts so that the soldier will be
ready ''to do and die and not to
reason why" They desire the sol
der to prefer even war and the pos
sibilities of death to a continuation
of his present condition.

The Star Thief
smemoroting lob Anniversary Of the Russian Rev0l
By jan KAMINsKY and HENRY REICH. Jr.

By JAN KANIINSKY and HENRY REICH, Jr.
With sack on shoulder through the night he crept
Above the world while all of mankind slept,
Defying dangers and the hidden dens
Of frightful monsters Ger the misty fens
And dismal swamps he went unscathed and strong,
What though the way was black and cold and long.
On dizzy heights he climbed, past mountain peaks
And where the eagle from his eyrie shrieks
Upon the shining ladder of the sky
He mounted till he stood against the high
Blue crest of heaven Then he looked around
Among the consultations till he found
Ten bright new stars. But over each of them
dreadful giant stood to guard the gem
Encrusted beauty of its body His football
Aroused the giants who began to call
On all the ancient gods to put check
To this invader who strobe heavens deck.
Stop theft the words through heaven loudly roll.
stop thief" it is great bells mighty toll
Sounds from the vast emperian. The sky
Shook with the noise and everywhere the cry
Reverberated. Then above the rest
One terrible voice cried down from heavens crest:
"Who thus dsturbs the peace of Gods! Who dares?
And all grew silent and the trumpet bares
Were still. Then taking off his cloak
The Star Thief threw it down and shrilly spoke:
"Ha ha! dare to climb your lofty sky!
l dare to walk with you, the gods on high! 4a
[ come to take the stars need to earth
To deck an emblem!" And his lusty mirth
Was echoed by the heavens. The gods were mute.
What emblem this? 2" ventured "How astute
You are!" The Star Thief laughed st cannot pause
To tell you of our emblem and the cause
It stands for It's sufficient now to say
1t stands for Revolution here to stay!"
The Star Thief turned and with mighty shout
He flung himself headlong upon the stout
And ugly giant nearest him and hurled
Him from his post above the sleeping world
second sturdy giant, then third
He downward hurled and shouted but one word
That word was Revolution" And the Others
In fear of what had happened to their brothers,
Reiterated in a darkly flaming cloud
That hung above the heavens like shroud
And then he plucked ten stars. Each shining
He placed within his sack His abors done
He turned and clambored down the sky again
And brought the stars to please the hearts of men,
Each star year - ten stars commemorate
Ten years of mighty struggle toward the great
Achievement and the cleaning goal
Ten shining years the daring Star Thief stole
From out the heavens scintiating tree,
Each one the symbol of world to be!

HONOLULU AHOY!

When Byrd and his brave con- panions did not alight in Paris, but instead landed in the sea, their ex- ploit was noi diminished; rather their wonderful navigation and cool headed calculations in the midst Of storms and fogs enhanced the ster- ling nature of their feat.
 When Chamberlin and Levine failed to reach Berlin, but ended down in country village, that fact did not unreasorably detract from their accomplishment.
 In the case of Ernest L. Smith and Emory B. Bronte, the two brave fellows who have reached Honolulu their little mishaps and the s o s. are entirely forgotten in their final success.
 The two aviators got there" and the reports of their difficulties now known to have been rather unfound- ed, had the purpose of consolidating attention to their flight.

KISSING. MARYLAND PLAN

Governor Ritchie of Maryland now knows more than he did when he quoted pamphlet entitled "Nest-Po Essay on Kissing" is sued by the [. S. Department of Agriculture. The Maryland executive cited the kiss pamphlet as an evil dence of too much federal regula- tion. But it turned out upon investi- gation that the pamphlet was all about how to prevent hog cholera, the astute government writer giv- ing it a fancy title" in order to assure it of popularity.
 Dr. I. K. Atherton was author of the pamphlet, and this is his ex- planation:
 T have found that unless you sWeeten the message on cholera it will not be read. Everyone is inter- t2I'A III lNloSlllS. ny HldkllS q lew remarks on this subject I hold the attention of the reader until he has absorbed what I have to say in re- gard to hog cholera. The method is known throughout the country as the Maryland plan.'"
 As Maryland is laughing at her governor quite extensively. he doubtless wishes there never had been such Maryland plan invent cd. The incident may even interfere with his presidential ambitions.
 Wasting sw eet words about kiss ing in treatise on hog cholera is our idea of pure folly. If the gov ernment ever issues 2 treatise on automobile driving that would be the proper place for such dis setation.

Execution of five murderers in one day is quite a record. We do not remember a day in recent times to surpass it.
 Resigned to their fate, all the con- demned went to their deaths with out flinchng. But that does not mean they were willing contenders for the obloquy and oblivion thus judicially meted out. The three Chi cago cplprits after a previous con- viction had gained life imprison- ment, but so little did they like it that they killed a prison official in an attempt to escape. They did their worst, made sport of the most humane sentence the law could give them, and by their deed showed they had earned not shred of sym pathy.

BROKER SLAIN IN ROW OVER FINANCE
Partner Held in Hammer Killing
 at Los Angeles

Los Angeles, July 16 R>-An a1- gument over finance which last night resulted in the staying of Frederick A. Stern, 42, wealthy broker and manager of the Roths- child Mortgage and Finance com- pany, and the arrest of his part ner, Jacob Goldstein, 56, former operator, today engrossed the at tention of police investigators of the case.
 Goldstein's story to the police was that he had beaten Stern with a hammer and fired four shots into the brokers body in self defense.
 T had to kill him." he repeated 10 the police who were called after late homebound office employees hearing the shots, burst into the luxurious offices of the finance com- pany and discovered Stern dead on chair nearby with a pistol in his hand.
 Goldstein later amplifed his de- fense, declaring Stern came into the office bearing a hammer, evi- dently recently purchased as it was in wrapping paper. The argument followed with Stern insisting that Goldstein, who had invested s10O.- 900 in the company. place more money in the enterprise The pris- oner said Stern became enraged and struck him with the hammer. Goldstein backed away to a desk drawer from which he drew a pis- tol purchased three days before and fired.
 When officers arrived they found the hammer lying on the floor be- side Stern. Its head had been sunk into the back of the brokers skull. The office showed signs of violent struggle.
