SOCIALISTS TURN DEAF EAR TO WAR Speakers Say They Yllll Refuse " {o Bear Ams New York, Feb. 12.—“If called by conscription or by draft I will not go. They can stand me up againsta wall d shoot me, but I will not go, That is my answer.” Loud applause greeted that senti- ment, uttered by Jacob Panken at an anti-war meeting of Socialists in Hen- nington hall, in Second street yester- day afternoon. Panken, who is an attorney for the Amalgamated Cloth- ing Workers, told the audience, which was largely socialist, that their enemy vas not Germany but the capitalist class. Several speakers talktd ' in the same vein, among them Assemblyman Jacob Whitehorn, socialist, of the 21st assembly district, Brooklyn. The lat- ter was one of the two legislators who opposed the $1,000,000 defence bill in- troduced at Albany recently. Elmer Rgsenberg, who narrowly missel elec- tion as assemblyman in the 6th assem- bly district last fall, said that there would be no war as far as the social- ists are concerned, except a war of ex- termination against the class and the tem that made war possible. i We will shed no blood for the Mor- | sans and Rockefellers,” he said. “And | yet I don’t knew what we can Go now, Our. protests will be about as effective as if we were in Russia when the financial interests demand war.” Most of the speeches were delivered | in Yiddish, despite the sporadic pro- | tests of a florid-faced man in the bal- emblyman Whitehorn's Yid- iptions of the “‘Black Cos- sacks,” his name for state constabu- lary, were enthusiastically received. Resolutions opposing war and the passage/of the constabulary biil were unanimously indorsed. ELKS' MASQUERADE.

The liner’s officers believed sunken merchantman the Epsilon, of 3,211 tons. They also told of sighting a mysterious vessel, thought to be a hostile submarine, accompanied by a fast steamer, which had the appear- ance of a raider, or “mother” ship for undersea craft. Ignorant of U-Boat Warfare, . The Kroonland sailed from Liver- pool on January 31, theiday on which the German note was received by the state department. None of the pas- sengers knew of the note and the first news of the latest ‘“war zone” and rupture of diplomatic relations was received by wireless when five days at sea. The Kroonland was passing in sight of the Irish coast on the morning af- ter she sailed from Liverpool, when a large British destroyer overhauled her and remained in view until short- 1y after noon, At 3 p. m. the coast of Ireland had been left astern and the only sight of terra firma was the' Fastnet, a high, rocky promontory eleven miles off shore. Seven vessels could be seen in the offing, bound to Liverpool or Queenstown. A few minutes later a large Dutch vesscl appeared with the flag of Hol- land painted on either side, headed on a southwesterly course. The vessel was about nine miles distant, when suddenly a giant submarine appeared and halted the neutral freighter.

The submarine headed for the life- boat, and a few minutes later could be seen towing it, so Captain Barman held his course. Instead of towing the survivors towards the Fastnet, which was about five miles distant, the sub- marine headed in the “opposite direc- tion, and the last seen of either sub- marine-or lifeboat was a black dot as they dipped over the horizon out to sea. It is believed that the lifeboat soon foundered, as it was thought impos- sible for a small boat to live long in the chopry sea then running.
