LOOKS LIKE FICKERT
INSINUATES PRES. WILSON
IS A PRO-GERMAN
SAN FRANCISCO, unc 10—The
District Attorney, Charles Fickert,
in his brief just filed with the Gov
ernor of California, charges that
the German Government has backed
Thomas Mooney and that the ef
forts now being made to obtain
his pardon, which has been recom
mended by President Wilson, are
German Propaganda.
(Nothing seems to be to sacred for
Fickert the vampire and the
San Francisco Chamber of “Para^
Sites,” who are behind him, to at
tempt to pollute with their political
frame up filth. If the nami'4 of
California does not become a synon
ym for filth and corruption, it will
not be the fault of this world fam
ous bunch of parasites.) Ed.
LONDON, June 10—The latest
reports from Russia say that at a
recent meeting of the All Russia
Executive Committee It was decided
to mobilize all the workmen and
peasants for service immediately.
The committee decided to take this
action on the ground that the con
tion of the country, especially the
food condition, warrants such mea
sures. The acute condition, the
Committee stated, had been brought,
about by the counter revolution and
practically all classes will be draft
ed >in thie region threatened and in
labor centers.
