PARLIAMENT FOR
LONDON, May 11. Specking at
the annual meeting of the PrlmroBO
league today, Karl Curzon, govern
ment leader la the bouse of lords,
and member of the British war coun
cil, defended the British war cabtnot.
"We have been told frequently
during the last few months that our
govornment was In weekly, If not
daily, peril of having an end put to
ItB exlstonco. Against It only yostor
day was directed a lethal blow which
somowbat glanced off the target," ibo
said.
Kncmy Is nt "Gates"
"Tho present Is not a moment for
prophecy. It Is a moment for grap
pling with hard facts, because the
military menace Is greater than at
any time during the last four years.
It may truthfully be said that tho
enomy Is at our gates and the hour
of destiny Is with us at this very
momont."
Uarl Curzon Bald ho was thoroly
astonished when he read In tho news
papers proposals made by responsible
ponrons that tho right thing to do
at this emorgency was to pluco gen
erals and admirals lusldo the cabinet.
The Btrange thing about this sugges
tion, he said, was that it was made
by those who "shrieked about Ger
man militarism."
Soldier Unfit for Cabinet
"Let the generals and admirals,"
he continued, "attend the cabinet
meetings as they do every day and
advise cabinet members, but the mo
ment a soldier Is placed in control
of policy and administration, the sol
dier : 4 'polled and ho does not Im
prove administration. The names of
groat soldiers have been used by
party politicians. This Is deplorahlo
In the oxtremo; fatal to military dis
cipline and a dangerous form of con
tagion. Such a practice is extromoly
obnoxious to tho army itself."
Ho Bald that mistakes might have
boon in ado, but, he said, "since tho
present government has been In of
flco tho omplro has given forth a war
effort which novor has been equalled
In history. Tho position of England
today 1b that sho is tho pillar and bul
wark upholding tho civilization of
tho world."
't'ati Kqual Ministers
Karl Curzon did not claim tbut tho
prosont govornment was Indispens
able. Thero wore, ho Bald, other
patriotic, disinterested mon who
might take office and discharge their
dutios well, but, bo said, tho llrltlsh
omplro would sooner havo Lloyd
tloorgo as premier than any other
statesman.
"If Lloyd-Ocorgo had fallen yos-
torday," ho said, "tho rojolelngs
would havo been In Ilcrlln and not In
London, Paris, Calcutta or Montreal.
The country Is sick of rulllngs and
waitings made under tho shelter of
the forms of distinguished soldiers.
Tho moment n country allows a mili
tary administration to assumo tho
upper band, It Is on tho path that
leads to disaster."
Vote Warns "Snipers"
llo s.ild yesterday's voto was much
more than a mere, rejection of
charges ngalnst tho ministry. It was
a warning to snipers (o desist from
thnso tactics and that commons had
no sympathy with their maneuvers
'(iravo times nro ahead," ho ctui-
tlnucdt "and llrltisli soldiers may
hnvo to glvo ground. Encouragement
is to bo found, however, In tho unity
of command, In Americn's effort and
In tho resolute, Indomitable spirit of
tho llrltlsh people."
Ho concluded with a wish that lro-
laud had joined In the military effort
and hoped that It wnH not yet too
iato.
'Thero Is only one thing we cannot
afford to loso anil that Is tho war,"
we.ro bis closing words.

CHICAGO, May 11. By dofeat of
the aircraft program and the selec
tive draft service act, together with
the practice of sabotage In the
trenches In France and tho factories
at home, it was hoped by the I. W. W.
members to crumble America's war
plans, according to evidence' present
ed by the government today In the
seditious conspiracy trial of the I. W.
V. leaders.
The mass of documentary evidenco
characterized conscription ns a chal
lenge to the working man, advocated
spiking of guns andsp'oillng of pow
der and termed tho uniform of tho
soldier "tho livery of tho scab
herder." Lumberjacks Interfere
"Why not ask the lumberjack?"
was the heading of an article in an
official organ of Aug. 8, 1917, in
which authorities were quoted as
saying the nation's aircraft program
would be delayed a year unless a
striko In tho northwest lumber dis
tricts were settled in two weeks.
"This is an open admission that
we have tied up the program," Bald
the article. "I belong to tho I. W.
W. becauso I am patriotic," read ono
of the alleged anti-war documents.
"Patriotism does not mean murder,
but war does. I am too patriotic to
enlist."
Various means of breaking down
the military machine by a campaign
of destruction, and the teachiag of
discontent were referred to In some
of the matter placed on record.
"Patriot" Is Seditious
"The patriotic I. W. W. member
does not salute the flag. He slows
down production by practicing sabot
age." "Our Amorlcan heroes taken to
Germany as prisoners of war wore
compelled, mind you, to bathe once a
week, and eat frankfurters and saucr
kraut instead of 'coffee and,' " was
ono of the complaints.
"President Wilson lias proclaimed
a state of war," an announcement
three weeks later stated. ' "Conscrip
tion may bo passed by congress . . .
Don't fight the bosses' battles; join
the I. W. W. and fight your own."
Shipyard Incident
As showing the activities of the
I. W. W. In connection with western
coast shipyard work, tho government
submitted an article from nn official
organ under date of Aug. 29 Inst,
which announced that Mayor Rolph
of San Francisco had purchased a
shipyard on Humboldt bay which
would be operated as a closed shop.
"Two days before the closed shop
was to go into effect the shipyard
burned down."
