STRIKE R IN CASE OF WAR Socialist - Attacks Goverament, Wall Stree{ and Newspapers New York, March ' 8.—Eugene V. Debs last night urged the workers of ‘the gountry to declare a nation-wide general strike if the United States goes to war. Speaking:to an audi- ence that packed Coover Union to the doors, the veteran socjalist, with all his old-time fire, declared a gran- ite wall and shot as a traitor than “‘go to war for Wall Street.” Bending his six feet of frame to- ward his hearers, Debs wrought up his 2,000 auditors almost to a state of frenzy by his picture of harm to the toilers of the United States should the céuntry go to war. “I will niever go to war for a cap- italist government,” he shouted. And a few moments later he declared that the government at Washington was capitalistic. v “I'd rather a thousand times suffer the fate of Liebknecht in Germany,” he sald, “I'd rather be lined up against a wall and shot down as a traltor to Wall Street than fight a traitor to myself.” Debs firéd on like a Gatling gun. Before the, cheers from one declara- tion died down he signaled for calm to shoot another e “I am not ‘& patriot as that Word is defined in the hotise ‘of Morgan,” he exclaimed. “You've been taught patriotism— brutal patriotlsm—patriotism to your country.’ When the working people own this country and other countries there will be no war. I tell you it is better to live for your country than to die for Rockefeller and Morgan.” Damn-Fool Editorials. Debs attacked the press, which, he sald, was helping the capitalists to get this country into war. “When you read one of their edi- torials,” he said, “you feel as if you want to go out and shoot -omabody—- that isn’t patriotism; it's plain damn. foolishness. “If war is dech.red. the workers'of f the; To Murad .Smok'ers' We have in our American’ ¥ warehouses the largest suli)ply". of Turknsh tobaccos in the world.

Each individual L i - gl ;e- J cheers drowned the rest of the sen- tence. He urged the workers to form a “revolutionary union” to down the capitalist class. The socialist move- ment, he said, was the only bona fide Ppeace movement on earth. He made a plea against teaching “the art of murder in our public schools,” and deplored that some preachers were ddvocating war with Germany. “Every . exploiter, every tyrant in the history of the world,” he said, “has wrapped about himself the cloak of patriotism or religion or both. Rockefeller has a billion dollars; he has not one comrade. I wouldn't trade one comrade of the east side for all his bloodstalned wealth. His body is but the coffin of his dead soul.” Debs urged each of his hearers to bé a committee of one to carry on anti-war propaganda. - “War would have been declared long ago,” he said, “if Wall Street had not feared the sentiment of the peo- ple of the United States, which is against war.” As he was defending Tom Mooney, the San Francisco labor leader, who has been sentenced to be hanged May 17 on a charge of setting off a bomb during the preparedness parade there, some ‘one from the audience called out: “They won’t hang him!"” “You bet they won't,” shouted Debk. “We’ll see to that. I am going out to San Francisco, and if they hang Tom Mooney they'll have to have an- other noose for me.” “GAN’T GUT ,llFF MY LEG,” . SAYS RAILROAD ENGINEER “I am a railroad engineer; about 20 years ago my leg was seriously in- Jured in an accident out West. Upon my refusing to allow the doctor to amputate it I was told it would be im- possible to heal the wound. I have tried all kinds of salves and had many doctors in the past 20 years, but'to no avail. Finally I resolved to use PETERSON’S OINTMENT on my leg. You cannot imagine my astonishment when I found it was doing what over 100 things falled to do. My leg is now completely cured.”—Gus Hauft, 799 Myrtle Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. “It makes me feel proud to be able to produce an ointment lke that,” says Peterson. “Not ¢nly do I guar- antee Peterson’s Ofintment for old asores and wounds, but for Ecsems.
