Vanguard of the Class War.
2 The present war Is not a war for
the protection of national integrity,
tkxt of the freeing of oppressed people,
nor for the welfare of the masses.
It signifies from the standpoint of
the proletariat the most extreme con
centration and extention of political
oppression, of economic exploitation, of
militaristic slaughtering of the work
ing classes, body and soul, for the
advantage of capitalism and depot ism.

«t Butter, Eggs and Potatoes that
the other stores carry and we will
sell them at the same price or less
in some cases. But, in addition to
the common grades we have exerted
our utmost to be able to offer
something; better, not necessariy
cheaper. Our effort was product
ive of the following result.
BUTTER
Our Alberta pickled butter is
especially churned for us and is
made from clean, pure and whole
some pasteurized cream. In fact
ether buyers must wait and go
without until our orders are filled.
The Consolidated Creamery Co.,
of Ellensburg Washington, is a co
operative institution of the farmers
ef that vicinity who have success
fully marketed their products in
this way for 8everal years und in
this manner they have been able to
give the pablic as direct as possible
the best butter fresh and nnmixed
at a better profit to themselves and
less to the consumer. Our price
per 2 pound brick $1.35.
EGOS
Our Ranch Eggs are* all guar
anted to be not over a week old
When shipped last fall. Per dozen
90 cents.
POOTATOES
Our potatoes that we are now
offering are the very latest YAKI
MA BURBANKS the Potatoes that
made the N.P.R.R.C0. Diners fam
ous for their big Potato Bake. Full
weight crates, per crate $5.50.
A. Polet
To all this the working classes of all
countries can only give one answer in
tensified strugge—international class
struggle against the capitalistic regime
and the ruling classes of alii countries
for the abalition of every species of
oppression and exploitation, for the
termination of war through the insti
tution of a peace consistant with the
spirit of Socialism,
In this struggle the Socialist, who
knows no country but the internation
al. must come to the defense of every
thing which he as a socialist is bound
to defend.
The cry "down with war” signifies
that I must stand opposed to the pres
ent war, condemning ;tnd hating it on
principle, in its historical character,
in its general social causes and specific
origin, the method of its conduct and
in the purpose for which it is waged.
That cij' signifies that it is a duty in
cumbent upon every defender of pro
letarian interests to participate in in
ternational class struggle for the end
ing of the war.
The Militarist Issue
3 As a Socialist I am. fundamen
tally opposed, not only to this present
war, but also to the existing mildtar
lyistic system, and I have to the utmost
of my ability continually urged on the
fight against militarism as an espec
ially portentious undertaking, a mat
ter of life and death for the working
classes. (See my paper, "Militarism
and Anti-Militarism, 1907. Interna
tional! Conference at Stuttgart, 1907,
and Copenhagen, 1910.)
4 Sinee 1S99 the first of May has
been consecrated to manifestation and
propaganda of the great fundamental
principles of Socialism, against all ex
ploitation, oppression and violence,
consecrated to propaganda for the es
sential solidarity of workers In all
lands—a solidarity which the war has
not impared, but stmegthened—
against fratricidal conflicts, for peace
and against war.
The declaration and propaganda of
these principles Is a sacred duty Im
post* s upon ail Socialists—doubly so
during the war.
& Thepolicy advocated by me is set
forth in the pronouncement of the in
ternational Socialist congress held In
Stuttgard (1907) which bound Socialists
of every country—since they have not
prevented the war—to work with all
their energies toward Its speedy end
ing, and to take advantage of the con
ditions which have arisen for hasten
ing the abolition of the capitalistic
order.
Socialism even to Its ultimate con
sequences. is international in spirit.
It imposes upon the Socialist of other
countries the same duty with reference
to their governments and ruling class
es that I, with others in Germany have
performed with reference to the Ger-!
man government and ruling classes.
Socialist works In the spirit of In
ternationalism in its reciprocal incit
ment. from country to country of the
class struggle against war.

TOWARDS THE DAWN
With others I have since the begin
ning of the war, in every possible way,
in the most public manner, defended
and upheld the socialistic policy, and
I am pledged to it, to the last degree,
in compact with my brother Socialists
in other countries.
(I may mention for example, my
journey to Belgium and Holland in
September, 1914; my Christmas let
ter in 1914 to the Ijabor Leader, Lon
don; the Swiss conventions, in whioh,
I regret to say, I was unable to par
ticipate personally, being prevented
by the superior powers, etc.)
This policy, to which, cost what it
may, I shall hold fast, Is not mine
alone, but is, on the contrary, the pol
icy of an ever-increasing proportion of
the people of Germany and in other
countries, belligenemts as well as neu
tral. It will soon bocctme, os I hope—
and to this end I am resolved to toil on,
the policy of the working class in all
countries, which will then possess the
power to break the imperialistic will of
the ruling classes, and to shape as may
seem best the relation and conditions
of the people for the universal bene
fit of mankind.
