PACIFISTS ARE
DENOUNCED BY ALLIANCE
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Sept. 20.—
The American Alllanefe of Labor and
Democracy late yesterday unanimous
ly adopted a resolution denouncing
as unwarranted the declarations of
the People's Council of America for
Democracy and Terms of Peace, and
other similar organizations that
America has not stated her war aims.
“No government has ever stated its
war aims so clearly, war aims entire
ly consistent with ideals of democra
cy and internationalism,” the reso
lution said.
The resolution, viewed by some
[ delegates as the government’s unof
! ficial reply to the criticisms of paci
fists and pro-German propagandists
was read by John Spargo former mem
| her of the executive committee of the
| socialist party, and adopted almost
immediately amid applause.
It pointed to the German plan, re
ferred to by President Wilson, to
throw a broad belt of military power
across the center of Europe and be
yond the Mediterranean into the heart
of Asia, and continued:
"The only chance left to the mas
ters of Germany of retaining the ad
vantages gained, and of perpetuating
their own domination over the Ger
man people, is the enactment of an
immediate peace upon terms favor
able to themselves.”
The resolution on war aims follows
in part:
"The so-called People's Council and
other organizations allied with it,
professng to speak in the name of the
working people of America, have de
clared that the aims and purposes for
which we are at war have not been
definitly stated. These people have
made a great deal of clamor, demand
ing that the president of the United
States make a definite statement of
the reasons why we are at war and
the ends we seek to attain. We, the
members of the Minneapolis confer
ence of the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy, declare that
this demand of the People’s Council
and other pacifists' organizations, ev
en if in good faith, is entirely unwar
ranted. The records show that the
aims and purposes of this nation have
been stated with singular lucidity and
precision by the president of the Uni
ted States.
“Since the United States entered
the war, the president has upon three
notable occasions, clearly and explic
itly set forth the American aim, the
objects which must be attained by
any peace to which the United States
can agree. We refer especially to the

foreign minister of Russia's new gov
ernment, bas accepted a challenge to
a legal duel. His challenger Is M.
Tchernoff, formerly minister of agri
culture, who bas been accused of~hav
lug been connected with the German
general staff. The duel is one of argu

RIHH WAR MINISTER WAS
DOMINATED HV WIKE
PETROGRAD, Sept. 20.—Witnes
ses at the trial of Gen. Soukomlinoff.
former war minister, who is accused
nf high treason, unfolded in part to
day the story of Madame Soukhom
iinoff, hearing out reports of the in
fluence she established over her hus
band. She is on trial as an accomplice
in the crimes of which the general is
accused.
Anna Goslikevitch, a former friend
of the Soukhomlinoff's testified that
the young wife of the elderly minis
ter of war, frequently expended
100,000 roubles a year. When she was
abroad her husband sent her almost,
his entire salary and for the sake of
economy he was forced to eat at tiie
officer's cassine.
M. Rautovich, Madame Soukomlin
off's first husband, testified that hi6
wife demanded that he obtain a di
vorce and give her a large sum of
money, because she desired to marry
Gen. Soukhomlinoff, then governor
general of Kiev. Boutovich said he
had a stormy interview with Gen.
Soukhomlinoff, challenged him to a
duel and attempted to strike him.
His wife pretended she had taken
poison, lie testified, and refused to
take an antidote until he promised to
assume the guilt necessary for her di
vorce and pay her 4,000 roubles a
year. She was 25 years old at that
time and Gen. Soukhomlinoff was 60.
COLOR LINK NOT BE
DRAWN BY WAR DEPT.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 20.—
How color lines have been ignored in
the assignment of negro troops in the
drafted sections of the national army
is revealed in genera lorders issued
today, showing the war department's
intention to opportion the negro
troops evenly where possible in all
cantonments. The order provides that
in every cantonment there shall be
one negro Infantry regiment where
sufficient personell is available. Pro
tests have been made against quar
tering negro troops in certain parts of
the South, but no modification has
been made. The order is taken as an
indication of what the war depart
ment will do in disposing of similar
regiments in national guard camps.
Supt. Jack Ingram left McCallum
