FEUDALISM VS.
THAT THE socialists arc standing outside tho human
race and hy their jivcsciit policy' can only initiate a
socialist order' in heaven, when the whole civilized world
is under the heel of tho (Jerinan junker, is the statement
made by '.M. Baranov, one of the most prominent socialists
in America, and for '20 years on the editorial staff of the
Jewish Daily Forward, the largest socialist daily in the
United States, who is disgusted with domination of. the
party hy pro-Clorman pacifists.
In an article in the Forward, Mr. Baranov thus pub
licly expresses the viewpoint of socialists who have been
read out of the party because of their patriotism:
"All mankind is interested in the result of this strug
gle. It is no longer a capitalistic war, or an imperialistic
war, or a nationalistic war. It is a war of humanity.
"It is a war between the M iddlo Ages and the twentieth
century, between feudalism and democracy, between dark
ness and light. The war was not such at the beginning.
It has become what it is lately. It is possible that those
that play the leading role in this struggle do not under
stand it. The kaiser und ilindenbiirg evidently do'n'ot un
derstand it; they are fighting for the darkness of the Mid
dle Ages. Otherwise they would not have carried on the
war with such enthusiasm. The statesmen of the other side
are beginning to see this. President Wilson seems to un
derstand best of all that the allies ire fighting against the
dark forces of medievalism.
"To a war that lias assumed such a character only weak
theorists, peanut politicians, and narrow-minded egotists
can remain. neutral. Living beings, men. and women who
think, must, take a stand for the (Jermans or against them.
And thought ful people can only take one stand: Down
with the military and autocratic beast of Germany and
Austria. And one program: War until the t wentieth cen
tury is victorious over the Middle Ages, until democracy
has shattered imperialism, until progress has crushed re
action, until light has drowned the darkness.
"And until the human race has been made secure for
ever against feudalism, reaction and darkness, all with
out regard to classes and parties must stand united and
fight .011 the side of progress. . Democracy is light. Pro
gress is in danger. The future of the hitman race is at
stake. To look down upon this gigantic struggle, at such
a time from philosophic heights and quibble or even con
demn hoth sides alike is more than idiocv, It is criminal."
DUMPING
IN TIT 10 words ,of Lloyd George, the United States is
-- litornllv ".dumping an army into France,," Practically
every available ship is being pressed into service anil
thousands of men, 1 rained in the cantonments, eager to face
the Hun, are daily landed.
How many Americans are there in France? German
estimates placed the number of line troops at 2'2(),(HK) at
the liegiiininng of the present offensive five weeks ago.
As (iO per cent of the first consignment were not line
troops, but engineers, foresters and auxiliaries, the esti
mate is probably not far off.
'Secretary Baker states that by the end of the year,
3,200,000, perhaps more, can be transported. Probabl'v the
number will total a million by July 1, and 1,000,000 bv'Sop
teniber. In all probability, the monthly draft call replaces
the ti ps sent abroad. For May the drqft call exceeds
3(M),(MX), with a still larger call looming for June. Fvery
man lauded now is worth ten next year and the president
is straining every resource to put everv available man in
France. In the draft are l.KOO.OOO in Class 1 available for
active duty, and every man may expect a call to the colors
before the summer is over.
Corresp
khaki clad
Correspondents in Franco state that, the volume of
arrivals surpasses
seen. Cantonments are developing over night. Pailroad
extensions and spin's develop as if by magic. Old French
villages, which have not before seen Americans, are-extending
a royal welcome, while the troops are continuing
training before being ordered to the front lino to share. in
the fighting.
And when the Americans get into action in force, the
knell of doom will sound for the kaiser's dream of world
domiiiat ion.
EAT MORE POTATOES
AND SAVE THE WHEAT
Oregon has 5a0 cnrloads of surplus
potatoes, say ILTiil.UOO worth ot re
tall, which will spull hy summer If
not cuten. Our soldiers and the allies
on tho blond-drenched fields of
Franco must havo T.l.UOK.iUHi to
Ml, 000, 000 bushels of wheat be
tween now and harvest lime or
quit flKblliiK. Potatoes are cheap.;
Wo must eat them and scud the
wheat to the front. Wo are actually
not eating us many potatoes this year
as last, when potato prices were sky
hihh. Isn't that Just llko human na
ture? To uao this Oro;ou surplus
every person In Oregon over ten yenrs
of oko should eal about half a bushel
of potatoes more III tlio next three
months than he usually eats. There
are 270 meals lit three mom lis, nnd
Oils means we should add an avenue
of nearly Iwo ounces of potatoes to
eory oan of our meals every day
unlil July.
Can we do It? The tlermans eat
threo times as many potatoes as we
do. Tlicy are literally winning the
war on potatoes. Shall we do less"
We must flKUl llie knleer man for
man. shell lor shell and potato for
potato. Think of the wheat Oregon
can soc by caltitK her surplus pota
toes; Hotels In many cases are scrvtim
only Insignificant potUous of Pota
toes, and these wretchedly cooked.
The patriotic hotel and restsuruni
man from now on will serve lots of
potatoes, attractively cooUcd and at
a reasonable price. If he does not do
s, remind Mm of bis duty.
