ARE YOU DOING YOUR BIT,
We have been living In a ihcltered
valley for generations. We have ! een
too comfortable, too indulger,*, many,
perhaps, too selfish And the stern
hand of fate has scourged us »o an
elevation whore we can see th_- great
everlasting things that matter fur a
nation, tne great peaks of hot or we
had forgotten, duty and patriotism,
and, clad In glittering while, t're
great pinnacle of sacrifice p unting
like a rugged finger to heaven
We shall descend into the valleys
again, but as long as the men and
women of this generation last they
will carry in their hearts the Irrigo of
these great mountain peaks, whose
foundations are unshaken, though Eu
rope rock and sway In the convuls'ons
of a great war.
You who are in early manhood's
pi'ime, the coming administrators of
this great nation's destinies—you are
the ones who must look most squarely
in the face—the issues of today.
The nation will be committed to
your care, those who are now at the
helm steering us through the rocks
and shoals of this great national crisis
will be laid away the main benefits
of victory will he for you to reap,
and 'it will be your children who,
leading with pride of this great re
sponse of American manhood to pa
triotism's call, will ask: “And what did
you do in the great war, father.”
What are you going to answer?"
Are you going to say “I let the
British and the Belgians do my fight
ing for me I don’t believe in war
anyhow.”
And then have your children an
Hwe.r “Father, if George Washingtor
had believed that way we would be
a British colony now. wouldn't we?’
or “if I.incoln had believed that way
would there be any great ITnlte*:
States today?"
Just think a minute boys! You ari
how living In a pertod of the greatest
historical crisis, and your decision to
day will 'influence not only every mo
ment of your life, hut that of all com
ing generations.

RATHER PREMATURE.
Where will the eventual peace con
gress be held, at Berne or the Hague
The question has recently forme*
the subject of public discussion in thi
Netherlands, whers it is nutiiriillj
hoped that hte latter city will b<
fixed on for that purpose. That th<
oliolc'e will lie be'ween these two
there Is considered but little reason
to doubt Either city would
form a convenient center, so far as
Its situation Is concerned, s ut the
presence of the peace palace In Hol
land's dlplomnt'c capital and the
Hague’s general reputation as the
scene of the pr-co conference, give
It, it is claimed, an advantage over Its
assumed rival.
Holland has a great Interest in the
choice falling on the Hague for that
is about the only chance of her, se
curing a voice In the weighty con
ferences that will fix Europe’s destin
ies. As questions will Inevitably arise
at the peace congress vitally affecting
the nation which holds the mouths of
three of northern Europe's great wa
terways—the Rhine, the Meuse and
the Scheldt—the sitting of such a con
gress at the Hague might prove of
the greatest Importance to Holland
quite apart from the welcome interna
tional pestige which necessarily
would accrue to the state within whose
borders It Is held
. WAR DECIDES SOCIALISTS.
To all appearances the socialist or
ganization In the United States Is
now as badly disrupted by the war as
It has been in many other countries.
In Germany there are now at least
three distinct factions—the moderate
majority, headed by l’hillp Seheide
ninnn; the extreme radicals of the
Leibknecht party and the new party
organized by I.edehour and his asso
ciates.
The many kinds of opinion one
.may hold In Russia and still call
oneself a socialists are only too
vividly brought to light in the press
dispatches relative to the upheaval
now apparently rending that country
to its foundations. And, ns in the
i
two countries mentioned, the social
ists are divided in almost all the other
European countries.
And, finally, the war and the Rus
sian revolution have caused a most
evident lack of harmony in the party ■
councils in this country Charges and j
counter charges have been flying of \
late and there are many indication 1
that the party is badly split. One i
faction has accused the other of clan- j
dcstinely operating to assist the kaiser j
and the other faction vehemently de- I
nles the charge. j
Heated cablegrams from both par- j
ties have been rushed to Petrograd as ‘
each faction endeavored to exert its
influence with the new democracy. ,
The trouble appears to have largely 1
grown out of the resolutions condemn- j
ing the war. adopted by the socialist 1
party convention held at St Louis, j
April 12 last. The stormy situation 1
situation was precipitated by the 5
charge of G. J. Phelps-Stokes, the J
Wealthy socialist, that pro-German so- J
cialists in this country were atempt- j
ing to discredit the American mission t
to Russia because it might interfere •
with the German plans for a separate j
peace with Russia. jj
Morris Hillquitt, ex-congressman, H
was cited by Mr. Stokes as a leader H
of this alleged pro-German section ^
of the party. .
Mr. Stokes asserted that certain
strongly pro-German socialists in the
UrAted States were doing all that
they could to convey to the Russian
social democrats the impression that
the American commission was being
sent to Russia for the special purpose
of fighting down the social democrats
who were at the time in the ascendant
in what was once the dominion of the
czar. Mr. Stokes was supported in
his opposition to the Hillquitt wing of
the party by Charles Edward Russel,
former socialist candidate for gover
nor of New York;; William E. Wall
ing, noted as one of the ablest Amer
ican students of Russian affairs; Up
ton Sinclair, the famous author, and
others of wide celebrity, including n
number of women of distinction.
Tills group on April 19 sent to the
Russian mlnlstorofjustice, Sir. Keren
sky, a message strongly opposing a
separate peace between Russia and
Germany would he disastrous to the
progress of the international socialist
movement In that it would not as
sure peace for Russia and would make
enemies of her present allies. The
message also declared that it would be
treason to the French working classes
who has assumed wars’ burdens at
the outset for the sake of Russia.
An additional suggestive reason ad
vanced was in effect that Germany,
after crushing France would turn
again on Russia, since the. German
government, being built on autocrncy,
could not tolerate democracy In Rus
sia.
Again it was declared that the
threat of German domination would
compel the United States to adopt a
permanent militarist policy, thereby
> endangering Ms present democratic
| lnstlhutions andthrcnthcnlng the dem
i ocratlc movement throughout the Am
. erica's The final result, the message
11 stated, would only be to increase mll
.1 I tar into in the world and delay the
social revolution
Additional evidence of the lack of
harmony in the socialist attitude also
appears in the action of Meyer London,
the only socialist in congress, In him- I
self sending a mesage to M. Kerensky,
urging assurance against a separate!
pence and which brought forth the
prompt statement from the Illusion
cabinet minister declaring that the
\
socialists In Petrograd had no inten
tion of deserting the allies.
in reply to the charges hurled by
Mr. Stokes and his friends Mr. Hlil
uuitt denied that he was a pro-Gor
man or was working for n separate
pence and insisted that he favored a
general peace on terms which would
secure justice to the peoples of all
nations and offer guarantees against
In,ure wars. The drafters of the St.
Louis resolutions, he declared, were
not, predominately, of German blood
as Mr. Stokes had asserted and by
way of proof instanced the names of
Job H.irriman, Algernon Lee, Kate
Richards O'Hare and others, all lived
in the wool Americans.
