MOON ECLIPSE TO
Be seen JUNE Is
Will Be Visible Throughout The
United States

Chicago, June s up - June
promises to be a Roman holiday
for those astronomieally inclined.
Two eclipses will come this month,
a total eclipse of the moon on the
18th which will be visible through
out the United States and a total
eclipse Of the sun which will be
seen in parts OF Europe and Asia.
a third event OF astronomical inter-
est will be the close approach OF
pons- Winnecke's comet OH the 21st.
The Lunar eclipse will begin at
i22;43 a. M, central standard time,
June Is when the moon enters the
umbra OF the earth's shadow. A
dark notch will appear on the east
limb of the moon gradually over
spreading it until the eclipse be-
comes total at o:14 a. M. Totality
ends at 2:S5 and at 4:06 a. m. the
moon will be entirely out Of the
shadow.
Those who watch the eclipse may
be surprised that the moon is still
plainly visible" said Robert H.
Baker, professor of astronomy at
the University of Illinois. "since it
shines only by reflected sunlight it
might reasonably be expected to dis.
appear in the shadow. But much
sunlight filters through our atmos-
phere around the edges Of the
shadow: it is then refracted into
the shadow and Eliminates the
moon.
"Observers will remark also that
the totally eclipsed moon is redder
than usual. 1t is because the H.
tered light has lost most Of its blue
and violet, just as the sunset Is red
because its light has longer course
through the atmosphere.
ION June 20, two weeks after its
emergence from the earth's shadow,
the moon will have completed half
it's circuit and will pass between US
and the sun. It's shadow touches
the earth at sunrise west Of the
British Isles. moves eastward across
England and Norway, skirts north
ern Asia and leaves the earth at sun
set off the Alaskan coast. Precisely
two hours will elapse between ar
rival and departure.
"Only the tip Of the moons
shadow cone brushes the earth. The
diameter Of the shadow on the
ground will not exceed 20 miles, so

For Struggle First.
Comrade Roland Hoist, who at that
time was very prominent as leader
of the general strike in Central
Europe ther book on the general
strike was published in 1000, in her
speech on the question Of proletarian
education presented the most ad-
vanced point of view which we had
heard at that time. The conference
almost unanimously agreed with her
theses. The Swiss delegate. a free
thinking young teacher, demanded
that the natural creation history and
the struggle with religion should be
given first place in the educational
programme. The writer of this ar
ticle protested on this issue. The
protocol reports that "Comrade AL
pari opposed him pointing out that
the basis of socialist education must
be social science" But l also OPP
posed Comrade Roland Hoist on one
point. She maintained that the first
task Of independent youth organiza-
tions ought to be the spread of knowl-
edge. | said struggle must take the
first place According to the proto-
col l am reported to have said: "Be-
fore we proceed with the realization
of the educational programme, there
must exist a minimum of free time
and of protection Of young workers
against exploitation. The premise
for everything else is the struggle
of the working youth for the i'm
provement of their economic posi-
ton"
The report on the economic strug-
gle of the youth was to have been
presented by Robert Danneberg from
Vienna. A few weeks before the
conference he notified his inability to
attend, and the international centre,
on the suggestion of Liebknecht, asked
me to deal with this resolution. I
agreed on the condition that | should
be permitted to protst against the
reformist conception of Danneberg.

and by the conscious struggle against

Liebknecht Pioneers.
Already in the year 1904 at the
Bremen Party Conference of the
German Social Democrats, i. e. be-
fore the Russian Revolution, Karl
Liebknecht had drawn attention to the
absolute necessity of the struggle
against militarism. This marked the
starting point of his activity on
these lines. From the outbreak Of
the Russian Revolution, he devoted
especial interest to the proletarian
youth. Youth organizations became
his speciality. He was in closest
contact with the North-G German pro
letarian youth organizations which
were founded in 1904-05, he took
part in the foundation of the League
Of Young German Workers in Sep
TENDER 1906 in Mannheim. On this
occasion Liebknecht raised the point
of converting an international youth
centre which was entrusted with the
preparation of the international con-
ference In the spring of 1907, he
published his book on "Militarism
and Militarism" in which as a
real revolutionary Social Democrat
he starts from the dogma: the ques-
ton Of Social Democracy is military
question. In this book we find the
first estimation Of the international
youth movement. At the foundation
Conference of the Youth International
Liebknecht was the central figure.
His speech on anti-militarism lasted
four hours. 1t had to be divided in
to two sections. The protocol which
is still available is not stenographic
report, but is compilation based on
journalistic notes. 1t contains only
skeleton of Liebknecht's speech,
and even as such is incomplete. The
conference was a closed one. The
authorities were not present. The
report which was intended for the
public had to be compiled in care
full manner, for already the first in
dictment of Liebknecht for high
treason had begun. He spoke in
great detail about the Russian ex-
periences and their application to
conditions in our country which. is
