ff AR CONQUEST
IS CHARGE OF
A SOCIALIST
NEW YORK. Sept. 27. Germany is
waging a "war of conquest" and its
victims "have been enslaved and ex
j ploited." Deputy Oeyer, Independent
Socialist, asserted recently tn a Reich
stag speech, according to the Cologne
Gazette.
"This has never been a defensive
war," (lever said; "it was and is a
war of conquest!
"The Imperial government," he con
tinued, "is favoring the annexation
ists. Russia and Rumania have been
forced to sign a peace of force. The
peoples which were to be freed have
been enslaved and exploited.
"The government thus far has not
submitted any clear peace program
and has not proclaimed the right of
Belgium to independence, and poll
tical, military and economic integrity.
"Thus the war goes on and the end
is not in sight. Profiteering and lust
of conquest are holding nauseating
orgies while the people are suffering
from want of food. More than ever
it is imperative that all peoples free
themselves from the forced domina
tion of militarism.
"Proletarians of all countries unite!
! Down with the war!"

fiw ;r(iiiii|,ii) schools ot mining in
various sections of tin- stat« Tin*
Httidy required is arranged so that
tiie men may continue their regular
Work UniUtorrinilI**d
No attempt Is made to train min
ing engineers and metallurgists, but
young men doing well in the secon
dary schools are encouraged to go to
the Mackey school of mines at the
I'niversity of Nevada for engineering.
Thus these schools fulfill the twofold
purpose of enabling men at work to
study mining subjects and of supply
ing trained men for minor positions
about the mines and mills
The only requirement for entrance
Into these schools is the’ ability to
talk and read English and the Instruc
tion is elementary and practical in
character. The regular class work
consists of two hours daily excepting
Saturdays and Sundays, divided be
tween two subjects.
Instruction is given at two different
two-hour periods to accommodate men
working on different shifts. The labo
ratories are open throughout these
days and also on Saturday mornings.
