This address is not new to the Soc
ialist press. The Call commented up
on it in 1916, when the capitalists press
was very careful about the feelings
of the Prussian tyrant. The Volks
zeitung of this city—that fearless sheet
of the German working class—'publish
ed this address, we believe, in full, in
August, 1916. It probably will get the
publicity now to which it was entitled
over a year ago.
Liegknccht's Letter.
Polowing is a translation of the leaflet:
The records of the deposition in the
proceedings against me requires the
following explanation;
1 The German government is in its
social and historical character an in
strument for the crushing down and
exploiting of the laboring classes; It
home and atbroal is serves the inter
ests of junkerism, of capitalism and
of imperialism.
The German government is the reck
less champion of expansion In world
politics, the most ardent worker in the
competition of armaments, and ac
cordingly one of the most powerful
influences in developing the causes of
the present war.
The German government contrived
the war jointly in concert wi th the Aus
•'trian government, and so burdened
itself with the greatest responsibility
for the immediate outbreak of the war.
The German government brought on
the war under cover of deception
practiced upon the common people and
upon the Reichstag (note the suppres
sion of the ulttmntlon to Belgium, the
Book, the elimination of the Czar’s
dispatch of July 29, 1914, etc.) and it
sought by wicked mean to keep up the
war spirit among the people.
The Geilmaji government wages the
war by methods which judged even
by standards till now conventional, are
monstrous. (Note, for example, the
sudden attack upon Belgium and Lux
emburg—poisoai gas—since adopted by
the belligerants, but most outrageous
of all, the Zeppelin bombings, institu
ted with the purpose of annihiliating
every living person, combatant or non
combatant, over large areas; the sub
marine war on commerce, the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania, etc., the sys
te(m of taking hostages and levying
contributions, especially at he outset
in Belgium; the systematic exactions
from Ukrainian, Georgian, Courland,
Polish Irish, Mohammedan and other
prisoners of war in the German prison
camips, of treasonable war service and
of treasonable espionage for the cen
tral powers—the contriiet between Un
der Secretary of State Zimmerman and
SirRoger Casement in December, 1914,
for the organization, equipment and
training of the “Irish Brigade,” made
up of imprisoned British Soldiers in the
German prison camps; the attempts
under threats of forced interment to
comj>el enemy alien civilians found in
Germany to perform treasonable wax

"Necessity knows no law."
The German, government has through
the establishment of martial law, great
ly increased the political lawlessness
and economic exploitation of the pe
ople; it refuses all serious political and
social reforms, while it seeks to hold
the people docile for the imperialistic
war policy, through rhetorical phrases
about equal' rights of all parties, *i.bout
alleged discontinuation of political and
social discriminations, about an alleged
!new order and direction of affairs, and
the like.
The German govern|ment has failed,
out of difference to agrarian and cap
italistic interests, to care for the eco
nomic welfare of the population during
ithe war, and so has prepared the way
for a revolutionary uprising of the
people and for general distress.
The German government holds f;ist
even yet to its war aims of conquest,
and there by constitutes the chief ob
stacle In the way of immediate peace
negotiations upon the fundamental
principle of renunciation of annexation
and of all sorts of oppressions. It stifles
through the inaintainance—in itself il
legal—of martial law (censorship, etc.,)
public knowledge of embarrassing facts
and Socialistic critlci$n of its proce
dure.
The German government thereby dis
closes its system of specious legality
and sham nationality as a system of
actual force, of genuine hostility to the
people and of guilty conscience as re
gards the masses.
The cry "down with the government"
brands this entire policy of the gov
ernment as fatal to the masses.
This indicates further that a strug
gle of the most strenuous character,
class struggle against the government,
is the duty of every chapipion of the
welfare of the proletariat.

CASH & CARRY SYSTEM
As an inducement to our customers to practice economy,
we have decided to inaugurate the Cash and CARRY System.
Many stores on the: Outside r.re using this system with
much success. Tho idea is to offer, as an inducement to pay
cash and carry the goods homo with you, a cash discount,
which we propose to do as folows.
On all groceries or merchandise purchased from us, for
which you pay cash ar.d carry the goods home, we will give a
discountof 5 per cent, except on SUGAR, FLOUR & MILK, on
these goodg which are sold on a very close margin we
will give 2 1-2 per cent.
Thus if you buy 11.00 worth of goods and pay CASH and
CARRY you get 5c. off, if yoy buy $5.00 worth, you get 25c. off
Bring yoar market basket when you go shopping. PRACTICE
ECONOMY. SAVE THE NICKELS AND DIMES.
