Btrdsni Come With Re .ponlnbllity Not a single day must we remain si lent or timid. Though the war has shat tered everything, we must think of the dawn that will follow thin night of In sanity of factions. When the dawn comes the world s task will be to re build, and conciliate the nations. Great and heavy tasks await us. There will be times. Indeed, when we Socialists will long for the bygone days when we were persecuted and oppressed. .ur m mose nays we had no responsi bility to bear, and it was easy to criticise the game of the gentlemen in ministerial rrocks. bedecked with orders. Useful and necessary was this criti cism. We cannot, in these times of tre mendous changes, content ourselves with the watchword of Von Massow : 'What is, will remain so." Those who refuse to come along, we will pull along by their ears. The eternal conservatives, both of the left and right, will learn the truth of this. Power Shifting to Workers We have become much more mobile In .tactical respects, for the war has thoroughly altered our position. Con trary to the hopes of the bourgeois, the war has not strengthened their class domination. For a thousand reasons, the labor class cannot make front against the state, nor has it done so anywhere. In the countries where war credits have been refused as a matter of principle, as in Russia. Serbia and Bulgaria, the action was not taken by representatives of an organised industrial labor. A tremendous shifting of n in favor of the proletariat is talcing place. Even today we stand only in its initial phase. The social democrat party has won for Itself a direct claim to power in the state. The parliamentary system will force Itself through one way or the other. Germany must become, after the war, a democratic - parliamentary state. In which the majority will form the govern ment and assume the responsibility. For this reason, the next elections for the relchstag will be of transcendental . importance. Unless all signs deceive these elections will bring us very great power. Must Gssrd Against Relapse But when that day comes we shall not leave the responsibility to others. We shall have to ignore the conveniences of the opposition. Our interests dictate such a course, for Germany must not be governed after the war by an anti- eocialist bloc under the leadership of the conservatives, pan - Germans and raber-rat tiers. The relchstag elections will be a battle for the political power for the decisive Influence in the state and for govern- j L mem linen. i But if this is so we must be ready on .the day the nation summons us, ready to translate the socialist principles Into reality.' We will thn stand before the tremendous problem which In our dreams of former days has often laid heavily on our minds. The difficulties will be great for the war will leave us poor, stripped and bleeding. Out of the debris we will have to cre ate the communallsm of production and a new system of distribution of wealth. Out of the hell that humanity has made for Itself no power on earth will be able to make a paradise overnight. The wounds trill heal only slowly. We must therefore, when we come to power after the war, reckon with the danger of relapses. Most Create, Hot Criticise Thus it behooves us to be very cau tious with our promises and we must not promise the people heaven on earth. But with clear consciences we can de i clare that the reconstruction will be possible only In. accordance with Social ist principles. We must no longer re main theoreticians and agitators we must become practitioners of Socialism. A small section of the German popula tion continues to make conciliation dif- flcult. We hope that this, too. will im prove In time. We would have broken down long since under the mountains of difficul ties If we had not had faith in the cre ative power of the working people. We have passed through great times. Great times are still ahead of us. War, after all. Is history's work a day. No age has been without its bloody page in history. In bygone centuries also thou sands and thousands have bled to death without knowing what for. But we know that it has been and is for the evolution of mankind toward progress and free , dom. , War to us is but the prelude to Infinitely bigger things., - After the tremendous social upheaval of these-days we shall find on that road I mni jHtmtm'' 5,ji ' . & f ssZ '-'. luminal '4" is ' i'yV" " - ' 4 Li';"-', M " " - k -s, "" ' 8 wm-m' ' : - '4-v f II llkufy'Z" x vV ' 's.r: ' , f - . h- : v - ; - - - ,a - 1 I fit 'y V, i 'a v" ' A , r I IK! : few "W-'V j y& GERMANS CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY OF KAISER IN ARTILLERY VORK Brisk, Heavy Gunnery and Raids Are Feature of Sunday Along Entire Front in West. London. Jan. 28. (L N. S.) The Ger mans In the west celebrated Sunday, the kaiser's birthday, the biggest holiday for the army, with brisk artillery activi- ties all along the front, and with numer i ous raids which were, however, effec I tively checked by the French and British. German reconnoitering work has been going on at fever heat ever since the Teutons discovered a couple of nights ago that the British have extended their line to the region south of St. Quentin, taking over that section of the front from the French. The German high command is making' frantic efforts to find out to which of the vital fronts between St. Quentin and Nancy these French divisions have been drawn. By military experts here the shift Is taken to mean that the allies, counting upon a German major stroke against the French part of the west front, have taken every necessary meas ure of preparation. On the Italtn front, heavy snow drifts have put a stop to all large scale actions. but lively local artillery and Infantry operations continue in the mountain regions. German soldiers raided a British ad vanced post near lngemarck (Belgium) during the night and three British sol dlers are missing, the war office an nounced today. Elsewhere German raid ing parties were dispersed. On the Cambrat front and in the sec tors of Lens and Passchendaele the Ger men arttlllery was . active. Charles W.

But this war has also shown what the people can accomplish when they have to. There will always be wars, and the only question is whether men are to conduct them like beasts or like civilised human beings. When the last shot In this war shall have been fired, we will cry : "The war is dead ; long live the struggle!" We are marching on and, lf it must be, we shall storm ahead. FORMER SENATOR C. W. FULTON DEAD (Continued from Pace One) ident of the Multnomah Bar associa tion. The attorneys are requested to meet at the courthouse at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, from which place they will proceed in a body to the Ful ton home. Came to Oregon In 187& He was born In Lima. Ohio. Aueust 24, 185S, but when only two veara of age his parents, Jacob and Eliza Ful ton, moved to Magnolia. Iowa, where the son received his education in the public schools. The little family re mained In Magnolia until 1870, when they removed to Pawnee City, Neb. It was there that Charles William Fulton made his first step toward one of the most distinguished positions the United States senate. While only 17 years old, the study, of law appealed to blm and he entered the law offices of A. H. Babcock, one of the town's lead ing attorneys. After practicing In Paw nee City for three years the lure of the west became too dominant' and Mr. Ful ton came to Oregon In the early fall of 1876. His mind was set on becoming a law yer when he arrived here, but, not being particular, he accepted the position ot teacher in a little school at Waterloo, in Linn county, when It was offered him a thort time after his arrival In the Btate. Long In State Senate For one term he presided over the school, but when June of the same year rolled around he again decided to follow his law practice and removed to Astoria, where he formed a partnership with J. W. Hobb after being admitted to the bar. In September, 1875, he married Miss Ada M. Hobson of Astoria, and to this union one son was born. Mrs. Fulton's father was John Hobson, pioneer collec tor of customs of Astoria. It was only a short time after entering the active practice of law that he became one of the state's well-known men, and after being urged for some time by his friends, he agreed to enter the race for state senator from his dis trict in 1878. He was successful and was elected again in 1890, 1898 and 1902. He was president of the senate during the sessions or 1893 and 1901. Elected T S. Senator In 1901 In 1888 he was a presidential elector from Oregon and was the messenger se lected by his colleagues to carry the bal lots from Oregon to Washington, D. C, the same year. In 1903 Mr. Fulton was elected by the Oregon legislature to the- United States senate, which position he held until March 3, 1909, when he retired to pri vate law practice, forming a partner ship with Jay Bowerman, former acting governor of Oregon. Fulton's election to the United States senate in 1903 came after a sensational session of the legislature in which friends oi me late Harvey W. Scott, long editor of the Oregon ian, fought hard to elect him senator. The balloting continued far into the last night of the 40-day session, and shortly after midnight Scott was sprung as a dark-horse candidate. Ful ton received a big majority of the votes, however, defeating Scott and T. T. Geer, who had been an avowed candidate through the session.

It is entitled to know what the problems have been and what steps have been taken to meet them." He praised the work of both the military and civilian officers of the war department. "It would be tragical," he said, "if it turned out that they deserve the comment that they have fallen down.1 "I have no doubt that the tendency toward the feeling that we have fallen dqwn is due to the great Impatience of the American people," said Secre tary Baker. "You and I want to feel that our country is great and strong and can hit like a man at our adver sarles.

X am here now with no hurriedly gathered data.' I am here to make a complete statement.' He Invited the committee to ask him any question and to go Into every phase ot the war department'! work. Mr. Baker went first Into : the re ported neglect of sick patients and the Inhuman treatment of dead soldiers tn the training camps. He referred to the letters read to the senate by Senator Chamberlain last Thursday. axles to Find GsUty Oats "I wanted and I want now, to find out who was guilty of this Inhuman treatment In order to punish them." he said with vigor. He added that Sen ator Chamberlain had promised to give him the names of the authors of the letters. Secretary Baker declared that con sidering the large number, of men under arms, the number oi compiainia oi this kind had been relatively small. 'not more than a dozen and a half. In each instance they have been re- tmrrA Iha iif-rnn.mnrll." he Said. Where It has been shown that the hu man element has broken down, the In spector-general has been Instructed not only to take steps to correct the evil. but punitive steps where the fault lay Many of the complaints, he said, were shown to be groundless upon investi- ration. In one case, he said, the body of a soldier killed at the flying field at Toronto had been sent home naked. In vestigation showed the camp under the command of a major of the royal British flying corps- Orders were given at once, the secretary said, to detail an American officer to the camp. He told of another case where a medi cal officer had been dismissed from the army for neglecting a patient. Few Interruption Made Secretary Baker spoke almost without interruption on the part of the members of the committee. He praised the medi cal corns hlarhlv. "Its like doesn't exist anywhere eise In the world." he said. "The sickness in the camps has been combatted In the most effective manner known to science. The fact Is, however, that there never vet has been an army assembled, and none can be. where men are not orougni in who have been previously exposed to communicable diseases." Completing his defense of health eon ditions. Secretary Baker next took up the ordnance situation. There were ap- nroxlmatelv 600.000 Springfield and 100. 000 Krars available when war was de clared, he said. He told the committee that the modified Enfield rifle had been adooted with the unanimous approval of General Pershing. General Crozler anrf rnenl Scott. The decision was made about June 1. he said. He defend ed the delays resulting frem the decision to make all rifles interchangeable, be cause, he said. It would facilitate re- natrinar. When the war department decided to obtain more rifles, it was discovered that, although the factories were, mak ing British Enfield rifles, the bolts of one factory would not f'.t the mechanism of another.) He admitted that It was "some time before the army had been supplied with adequate rifles, but de clared that was foreseen. The secretary also defended the call ing out of more men than could be ade quately armed. He said that General Leonard Wood had urged calling out "a large army Instantly" without waiting for all necessary equipment. "The men need many things, before they need a rifle." General Wood said, according to Secretary Baker. England. General Wood said, had trained men In civilian clothes, armed with walking sticks. Secretary Baker said he did not go as far as General Wood urged, but that "It was deemed wise to call out I men a little In advance of their being I aunnllAd with arms." can I ja.ii jura ova ua Continuing his explanation of the se lection of a rifle. Secretary Baker said : I don't undertake to say that this question was decided Infallibly, but It was decided thoughtfully and conscientiously. and now every man in our armies. In tended to carry a rifle, has a rifle and a better rifle. Although we have sent soldiers much more rapidly than we thought we could, every soldier who has gone has had a moderrvjifle and had it long enough to practice with it either here or there and that Is true of every soldier who will go to Europe." Secretary Baker then took up the question of machine guns and declared that France Is able to supply all troops possible to send abroad this year, with the type of machine gun It has been de cided to use. "The machine gun problem." said Sec retary Baker, "Is complicated by differ ence of manufacture and the difference In theory In the use of guns." He told of the French and English theories of machine gun practice. Then he told of the existing board to test ma chine guns and claimed this board did not delay "for one moment" the pro curement of machine guns. He told of a test of the Lewis gun made by the navy department last April and declared that after this test large orders were Un placed for Lewis guna Pershing Not for Lewi Gin "General Pershing does not desire Lewis guns for use on land." the secre tary of war said, and explained that General Pershing has decided to arm the land forces with light Chauchatand Hotchkiss guns and reserve Lewis guns for aircraft work. "France Is abre to supply us with Chauchat light rifles for all of the I troops we are able to send; abroad this Secretary Baker. "Our army abroad Is provided with the guns or the type they have elected to use." The secretary of war then took up the question of the lack of machine guns tn camps and cantonment la this country. He declared he has been advised by camp commanders that this lack of ma chine guns has not delayed the move ment, but he admitted that lf the men had the guns they would have been able to use them. The question of artillery was next taken up by the secretary of war. He pointed out that ever since 19of General Crosier has argued before congress the need for more artillery. I have no criticism to make of the response of congress." said Secretary Baker, but he emphasised that the need had been shown to congress. He declared that France had been unprepared with artillery, and read a letter from Andre Tardieu. French high commissioner, stat ing that at the outbreak of war France had but (494 heavy guna and but very few of these were raptd-flrlng. France Make Offer Secretary Baker took pains to an swer In detail and with emphasis the contention that the United States was draining French resources In obtaining Its artillery from the French govern ment. He declared that the proposal for France to supply Pershing's army witn artillery originally came from the Officials of the French government. The secretary told the committee that the movement of the troop In la rare numbers to France was not In serious contemplation as late as July last. i am revealing no secret when I say that the crux of the whole problem Is tonnage." he said. "Everything we can get on the other side without disadvan tage to our allies we should get there." Mr. Baker gave figures showing that In Januaay the United States would ret 20 75-mlllimeter guns from France and ) preparations, mould make 84 in this country. In Anrll. i waser. he said. 231 would be obtained from France and 73 would be made In Amer ica. American production would increase steadily during this year. In December of this year the American production of seventy-fives would reach 432. "It Is therefore- fair to say that the American army In France now and health of any aotdUr.

There is no shortage Interfering with the comfort of the men now. he added. Secretary Baker then declared that no shoddy had been introduced Into unt form cloth, but had. been used for over coating. He read an article by William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen company, justifying the use of shoddy. When he resumed his testimony after the luncheon recess Secretary Baker read a statement he had Just received from General Wheeler about shell production in the United States. Oenersi Wheeler said that the manu facturing cf 71-mllllmeter and three-inch shells had Increased about tO per cent since the war began. The production of shells above that caliber had Increased 25 per cent. General Wheeler's report showed. When the committee was about to take I SARGENT TO LEAVE EMPLOY OF STATE Superintendent of Oregon Bank; to Become Examiner of. Fed- r eral Reserve Bank. Salem. Or., Jan. 21. B. G.
