"Why the War Must He Won" is the title of a pamph let which is being placed in the hands of a hundred thous and laboring men and women during Labor Loyalty Week, beginning February. 10, The most important reason for winning the war, according to this publication, is to estab lish foundations for a permanent world peace, guaranteed by a league of nations... It seeks to show that all the other American war aims depend upon this central purpose. The pamphlet is issued by the League to Enforce Peace and distributed by the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy through the central unions of organized labor throughout the country. The observance of the week of Lincoln's Birthday as Lr.bor Loyalty Week was announced by Samuel (lumpers,' Picsident, of the American Federation of Labor, in a letter addressed to the American Trade Union Movement "for the purpose of demonstrating Labor's intense loyalty to America, for the purpose of increasing and intensifving tint loyalty." The title page of this pamphlet answers the question " Why The War .Must 15e Won" as follows: TO FULFILL President Wilson's Program of1 The World's Peace TO REALIZE The War Aims of Organized Labor The machinery by which the purchase of a Thrift T() PERI'ETI'ATE - Stamp or a War Savings Stamp is to be made as easy and!

London -Morning Post. o- SEED OF DLSSEXTION If it is true that the rich of (ierniany have food in abundance while the poor are starving, the seed of dis sension that will finally spring into overthrow of the mili tary autocracy that is seeking to dominate the world is already sown. The common people of Germany will not always go on sacrificing their all so that the military aristocracy may have splendor. Eugene Oregon Register. o - GERMAN OBSTINACY It may be necessary to bankrupt the German nation, through its own stubborn persistence in an out-worn creed and it may be uecesary.to deprive Germany of its influ ence and standing in the world; but the welfare of the res of the world is at stake, and we cannot let it be imperiled by weak' concessions or even by commisseration of what will happen to Germauv'as a result of German obstinacy against tlie received and approved opinions ol; mankind.
