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.
