TOGETHER
THE HAGUE, Auk. 2. — "If the In
ternatlonal Socialist Bureau has not
as yet succeeded In bringing the Aus
tro-German and allied Socialists to
gether. President Samuel Gompers, of
the American Federation of Labor,
certainly could not accomplish the
task," says Camille Huysmans, secre
tary of the International Socialist Bu
reau, to a correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press, in answer to a proposal
of Mr. Gompers to hold a world la
bor conference during the progress
of the peace conference following the
war.
Mr. Huysmans pointed out that any
international conference without the
participation of the British and the
French Socialists would be a farce
In that its decisions would be entirely
lacking in influence.
He declared his belief that Mr
Gompers' proposal at present is im
practicable, and he deprecated the
idea of the American or Internationa
Trade Union organizations trespass
ing on the political domain of the So
cialist International Bureau. He de
dared that such a conference would
have to be held under the auspices of
the latter organization, and naturally
he would approve of such a congress
if the British and French were will
ing to participate,
"The Socialists constitute the een
ter of gravity In the matter of Influ
encing the war, and when they are
ready to act," Mr. Huysmans declared,
"a congress should be held even with
out awaiting the peace conference.’
He believes, however, that the war will
continue until next year, considering
the great obstacles to peace that are
apparent at present.
The Dutch Socialist organ, Het Volk
applauds Mr. Gompers’ idea, but
doubts the practicability of such a
plan save under the auspices of the
Socialist International Bureau. It
asks whether he is acting after con
sultatioii with President Legien. of
the German International Trade Un
ion Alliance, "who might regard It as
desirable to advocate the plan himself
for comprehensible reasons.”

PARIS, Aug 3. — Tho censor has
taken In hand the repertory of French
theatrical companies playing abroad
since a piece given by a French com
pany was hissed in Madrid the other
day. The government considers that
the good renown of the country re
quires that, when its artists make for
eign toitr^ their programs represent
what is best Instead, of what Is worst
in French dramatic art. All impresar
ios sending theatrical companies out
of the country are now obliged to sub
mit the pieces they intend to play to
the censor before passports are given
to the company.
The gradual return of the extreme
freedom which prevailed at times be
fore the War in the designing of post
ers has also been checked by tho
prefect of police. He has issued an
ordinance requiring that, after July
1, no posters for advertlsments can be
posted on the walls of Paris unless the
text and the designs have been ap
proved by his office.
About a year ago Mabel James, the
wife of Billy James, a well known in
terior mining operator, was reported
to have been arrested and convicted
of murder in New York, and had been
sentenced to life Imprisonment. Re
cent advices stale that she has been
living near Boston for several years,
and was never arrested in New York
for murder or anything else.
MUST ENLIST IN
LONDON, Aug. 3. — Wide differ
ence of opinion has arisen and the
ground prepared for a controversy
among the political leaders by the
government's decision that the sub
| jects of Its allies In the war residing
j in England shall either enlist In the
British army or be deported.
Particular objection to the decision
has beqn engendered in so far as it
may affect Russian subjects here who
may be political refugees, a large ele
I ment of the more liberal thinkers in
public life priding themselves in the
traditional asylum offered by England
in this respect. Herbert Samuel, sec
retary of the home office, stated in
the house of commons that the plan to
deport those failing to enlist would
not be enforced in the case of Russian
subjects, if a tribunal decided that
they are political refugees.
The suggestion has beett made that
instead of sending back to their own
country Russian Jews who have left
Russia for reasons known to every
body, though they are not exactly po
litical refugees, they should be sent
to America or deported to some other
neutral country of their choice.
The desire to avoid offending Rus
sian susceptibilities on the subject Is
general, for which reason the question
is regarded as one of unusual deli
cacy. One group holds that the send
ing back of Russian Jews to their
own country would gratify no import
ant sentiment, and might effect the
reverse result. The true inwardness
of the situation, according to the Lon
don correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian, is that Englishmen taken
into the army under conscription re
sent the immunity of Russian Jews
and regard them as "job stealers.”
The correspondent gives the follow
ing letter on the subject received by
him from a Russian correspondent:
"This step wdll have a most unfor
tunate effect upon Russian opinion,
which is the chief support in Russia
of Anglo-Russlan friendship, and
which builds all its hopes for Rus
sia's future upon the propagation of
the British spirit of freedom and indi
vidual liberty. Russian liberals will
regard the deportation threat with
particular dismay, as being an unex
pected and staggering concession to
the long cherished but always hither
to baffled desire of the Russian bu
reaucracy to secure the extradition of
Russian political refugees.
“England Is the great country of I
Europe that has always hitherto pro
tected political refugees, and as such
it has quite a unique standing in the
I eyes of Russian reformers of all
shades. It would be quite impossible
for an Englishman to realize the feel
ing of veneration with which England
is regarded because of this right of
asylum. It was here in London that
Alexander Herzen, father of Russian
Liberalism, was a refugee, and issued
his paper, Kolokol* ('the Bell), that
eventually brought about the emanci
pation of the serfs. Here in later
times have found refuge Tchakovskjr,
Prince Kuropatkin, and so many
others of our great reformers.
“Living in London at this moment
are refugee members of the first Du
ma, and quite a host of revolutionar
ies who escaped after 1905. Russia
does not want these men as soldiers
—many of them would have to face
the worst penalty. But the principal
evil would be that the Russian ideali
zation of this country would be shat
tered, and such a disillusionment of
Britain's chief political friends in
Russia might well prove disastrous to
the closor co-operation of the two
countries in the future.
"It is unpalatable, but it is true
that among the Conservatives and re
actionary elements in Russia, who
alone would be gratified by this new
British departure, there is a frankly
anti-British section, and their spokes
men in the Duma and elsewhere have
not hesitated to declare that Russia’s
future after the war lies not with
Croat Britain, but with Germany. One
curious fact a Russian may be permit
ted to point. As far as is known Ger
many has not yet repatriated to Aus
tria a single Czech agiatator who took
refuge in Germany.”
