CHICAGO, Aug. 1. Kriink Utile had been identified with the Indus trial Workers of tho World since 1000. His home was Kiestm, I'ul. Ho was 38 years old and single. Word of his death was received with emotion by W. P. Haywood, sec retary of the, national oranizalion of the I. W. W. "Frank Utile wns an earnest, ac tive advoentc of the interests of the working classes," said .Mr. Haywood. "I cunnot begin to sav how tleenlv I regret his death. He was well known not only to Industrial Work ers of tho World, but lo wurkitie classes generally thriioul the west." Betoro brooming identified with the I. W. W. organization in an of ficiar enpaeity, Little was it miner. In a recent Inn from I'lioeiiiv lo Globe. Ariz., lie met with an iiecldcnl breaking a leg. He had not fully recovered lrotu Inn injury. YESTKHDAY the dispatches carried the following Amsterdam dispatch: "The Ciorniuti authorities at Mega, IIoIkIiiiii, arrested, tried and sen tenced to donlh within throe days un Influential I.Ioko merchant , named Croneret, bin wife and their two daughters, aged 1M and 11 ears, on the unproved chargo of espionage. Tho father and mother were both shot to death In the presenco of llielr daughters. Tho latter were ofrcred tholr freedom If they revealed the names of their parents' accomplices. The Igrls refused, the oldest stating, 'If wo speak, wo might eauso fifty people to bo killed. We would rather die ulono.' Sho was Immediately shot. Tho youngest girl then was tortured, outraged and also shot." Such fictions are part "f the German program of f rightfulness in the effort to crush the Iicl'ian spirit, after having conquered the country. Over 5000 lielgians, men, women and children, were ruthlessly murdered during the first two months of occupation. Since then upwards of 100,000 were executed in one year, according to a German paper, as penalty for patriotism, and hall the population has lieen kept on the verge of starvation. Germany has looted Belgium of everything worth while. She has stolen her art treasures, pilfered her fac tories, rohlied her mines. She has systematically requis itioned the harvests, the cattle, the raw materials, the minerals and the machinery. She has absorbed all agri cultural products, paralyzed the commerce, utterly de stroyed national industries. She has levied fabulous sums in one year $100,000,000, from the ruined victims. She has deported a quarter million men into .shivery. She has kidnaped and outraged innumerable women. She has poisoned all sources of news, suppressed all newspapers and only permitted the publication ol: those depicting Ger man victories and allied failure. Still the Belgian spirit is not broken. Men, women and children gladly endure savage martyrdom. 1 )e ported Hel gians suffer cruelty and starvation rather than labor for their country's enemies.' The entire nation is on a patri otic strike to prevent the annihilation and ruin of their country by the barbaric despoiler. Germany's reign of terror i.s the filial answer to the pacifist.- In Uclgium now there are no peace advocates. Even the Helgian socialist rejects peace talk. The procla mation issued by the deported workmen to the workmen of all nations reads: "Let our tortures be what they may, we will not accept any peace, that does not assure the in dependence of our country and the triumph of justice." Let none of our American pacifists fool themselves the triumph of German autocracy means worldwide slavery and misery for humanity Americans included. What has happened in Belgium will be repeated in the United States, give German autocracy the power. No matter what the outcome of the war, every living Belgian will forever hate and damn Germany and the Ger man people. And life hatred and execration will not be confined to lielgium it will he world wide. German autocracy has ruined the future for German greatness by attempting to rule by might and terror, by barbarism in a civilized world. AYere the mad German war lords wiser, they would recognize 1lie futility of trving to conquer the world by might. Their own failure in 'Poland should have shown them the impossibility of forciblv Germanizing a con quered nation. Two thousand years of persecution has made the .Jews a mightier nation than ever. Four hun dred years of blood and iron has failed to destroy the Bohemians. Centuries of cruel enslavement by Turks failed to eliminate the Balkan nations. After three years of martyrdom the Belgian spirit is unbroken. The wrongs of Belgium cry out to humanity for vengeance and humanity is arming for the fray. "Those who live by the sword, must perish bv the sword," and Germany must reap the harvest of blood she lias sown.
