HOOT to kill" and if crowds form "no distinction will be made between strikers and others." Tliat was the order Issued by the kaiser's military clique In suppressing the hungry industrial strikers In Germany. It is a poor boon the strikers ask of the Junkers. Their petition Is for but a small measure of the free dom already enjoyed by democratic t peoples. f - They ask for equal suffrage by a direct secret ballot, ask for democra tization' of state institutions, ask the right to hold public meetings, ask for a- clear statement of war aims and ask that all countries be Included in the peace negotiations. By equal, suffrage, they mean that one man's ballot shall count equally with another man's instead of the present Prussian . system in which a wealthy man's vote may outweigh the votes of a thousand workers. The answer to these requests is "shoot to kill, and - marching battalions which drive the hungry people baok Into subjection. How can a pro-German in America tide with a Junker dom which-thus drives his kindred at the bayonet's point Into - renunciation of , all ' the rights for which they hanger and of which they dream? : The right to a ballot equal to any other man's ballot, the right to peaceable assembly, the right to free institutions which the German strikers asked for, are as dear to them as the same and greater privt- letfea are dear to vour nro-German in the United States. ; Yet, whenever a pro-German ? America stands for the kaiser, his Junkers and their war, he indirectly condemns his own kith and kin to be I trodden under the Iron heel of -i despotism that he himself came to .; America to escape.
