THE DEMANDS OF THE ALLIES.
The good news from abroad is ;
causing considerable comment regard-;
ing the lust methods to be followed
in dealing with Germany after the
war is over and there is presistent
clamor in some quarters for a bloody
vengeance.
That is not our idea of the way to
deal with the situation, but we have;
one which we believe has not been'
expressed as yet.
In our opinion nothing could be
gaim d by re oiling to reprisals similar
to ih * w 11 i»'ii Germany would demand

Many of the men at the front will

business principles of the most efll

systematic eradication of the hated
enemy? Very well, then.

neither will the high cost of living

HUNS WOULD REWARD
ALL FLEMISH TRAITORS
I’AltlS, Oct. 1 (by mall).—In fol
lowing out thoir scheme to German
ize Belgium, the Germans aro at
tempting to enlist the sympathies ol
Flemish elements in the invaded ter
ritory and detach them from the loyal
Belgian population.
According to information reaching
the Belgian government at Havre, the
latest move in the designs is an at
tempt to form a Flemish "Keichs-'
wacht," or civil guard, ostensibly for;
police duty in the Flemish region, un
der command of the German governor.
With the assistance of a handful of
Flemish traitors, subsidized by the
German government and formed into
the self-styled "Council of Flanders,"
the Germans are trying to recruit 1
more traitors to Belgium by offering
commissions in the proposed "Keichs
wacht
The German governor of Belgium
has offered places in the so-called
"guard" to Flemish prisoners taken
by tlie Germans in the early days of
the war.
Although (he Belgian government
is certain the Invaders will tie unable!
to make, any headway with the scheme
it is warning the people in Belgium
of the intentions of the Germans and
exposing I he German plan.

RUSS PRISONERS
USED LIKE DOGS
NKW YORK. Oct. 23. Despite the
agreement between Germany and the
Holsheviki for an exchange of war
prisoners, Germany is detaining most
of tin* Russian captives for work in
Germany, at the western front and in
the Baltic provinces.
Russians who managed to make
their way from the latter region to
Petrograd declare that thousands of
Russian soldiers have been sent to
the Baltic provinces to work on the
estates of the pro-German Baltic bar
oils. They work under guard of armed
German soldiers and under a discip
line as rigid as that of the prison
camp. The Germans do not hesitate
to use clubs and the butts of their
guns on the Russians.
The horses are better taken care of
than the Russian prisoners. As a re
sult. many of the Russians are suffer
ing with tuberculosis and other dis
eases and are dying by hundreds. Na
tives of central and Siberian Russia
are those chosen for work in the Bal
tic provinces. The Russians captured
by the Germans in Ksthnnia and Liv
onia have been sent into the interior
of Russia the soldiers for Held work
and the red guardsmen for digging
t Tenches.
No sooner did the Germans begin to j
feel themselves masters of the situa- i
tion than they levied severe taxes up- j
on the Russian population and the |
proletarian population in general. If ^
a civilian Russian desires in leave for
Russia he must pay as high as 150
roubles for a passport. Taxes have
been levied on windows, window cur- '
tains, beds and pillow
The population of the region is liv
ing in a stall* of terror. Instead of the
promised autonomy it has been given
the most outrageous form of despot
ism, petty and large As a result,
thousands sought to lb * . especially
from Livonia.

Workingman Now Fighting That Democ
racy, Liberty and Justice Shall Not Perish
By GEORGE W. PERKINS. Pitiidect of Cigvmaken' Internationa! Union
Fur years before this war broke out the dream of sentimental inter
nationalists of the world had lieen to prevent international strife by gen
eral strikes m rase of wars of conquest. At a meeting several years ago
of the miners’ representatives from many lands an English delegate pro
posed a resolution providing that rn the event of a war of aggression
the miners of both countries involved should refuse to dig coal. The Ger
man delegation said that, if such a resolution was ever introduced they
would have to withdraw, for if they even sat in a meeting in which such
a reflation w..,- distils.-vd they w .aid he tried and executed for treason.
The same thing has happened on other occasions. The German delega
tions always knew they would have to refuse to have anything to do with
anv proposal to interfere with their government’s plans for world cot
quest or face a firing squad.
My personal experience while studying the lalior movement in Ger
many was such as to make me more than ever and absolutely and unquali
fiedly back of our government in this war. 1 found absolutely no democ
racy in the German labor movement. No meeting of workingmen could
lie held in Germany without government police supervision. No one could
speak in a foreign tongue at any labor meeting without first submitting
his speech to the autocratic government, having it censored and being
given a peimit to make the address.
F >r vears in Germany formation of labor unions was absolutely pro
!vl-ited. Workers had to meet secretly and in imminent peril of arrest.
When the German government finally saw the workers could not he intinf
lated in this way, it grudgingly granted permission to organize, hut
under so many restrictions that any true expression of labor's aims and
desires was impossible.
Our forbears disputed the demands of kings and potentates. ‘Rebelling
against religious intolerance and social injustice, they started our first
great war. It was successful.
The second great crisis of our nation brought on the war for the
elimination of human slavery. It, too, was successful.
Now we are at an even greater crisis. We are lighting that democ
racy. liberty and justice shall not perish from the earth. Again we must
and we will be successful.
The time for argument is past. The pacifist’s cowardly pleas arc
dead. You must now either be pro-American or pro-German; pro-democ
racy or pro-autocracy. There can be no falling back, no wavering. All
of us must be heart and soul for democracy and victory or for autocracy,
militarism and slavish subjection.
