EVIEW OF
THE PAST W
Governmerit Finally Closes Down
on industrial Workers of
the World.
MANY RAIDS AND ARRESTS
Italians Continue Victorious Progress
Toward Trieste Germans Take
Riga and Great Naval Battle
In the Gulf of Finland
Is Expected.
By EWARD W. PICKARD.
Its war Industries bumpered, Its dig
nity outraged nnd Its patience ex
hausted, the government of the United
States arose in Its might last week and
began tho process of squashing the dis
reputable and disloyal Industrial
Workers of the World. In more than
a scoro of cities, mostly In the middle
and fnr West, their headquarters and
printing olllces .were raided and great
quantities of material seized. Tho
department of Justice prepared for this
action secretly and carried It out
swiftly and skillfully, and Is now ready
to have the leaders of the organization
Indicted If the documents taken war
rant this. In soma cities many urresfs
were made. Prosecutions may bo
started under the new esplonugo law,
or any one of several other laws.
Two of the things that caused Uncle
Sam to get after the I. W. W. were the
preaching of sabotage the wllfull de
struction of property nnd the use of
stlckcrcttes" designed to obstruct en
listing, which wero plastered all over
tho country. They are also accused
of misusing the mails to send out mat
ter advocating treason,. Insurrection
nnd forcible resistance to the laws con
cerning the carrying on of the war.
Tho documents seized show thnt the
I. W. W. 'was planning a natlon-wldo
strike which, It hoped, would tic up
munition plants, railroads and lumber
mills, and the sabotage advocated was
to bo practiced In connection with this
strike.
There Is n well grounded belief that
tho leaders of tho I. W. W. are con
stantly supplied with funds from Ger
man sources, but the great mass of Its
members no doubt are merely Ignorant
and misled creatures.
Tho national headquarters of the
Socialist party In Chicago also were
raided and books and papers seized.
"Big Bill" In Eclipse.
Another "prominent" opponent of the
government William Halo Thompson,
the mayor of-Chicago came a crupper
last week. In defiance of tho orders of
Governor Lowden, he compelled the
police of Chicago to give protection to
a meeting of tho pacifists who had
been barred from Wisconsin, Minneso
ta nnd other suites. Thereupon the
governor sent troops to the city to pre
vent repetition of the offense, the city
council of Chicago formally rebuked
the mayor, the ugents of the depart
ment of Justice began Inquiries Into
his conduct with a view to his Indict
ment, tho press and people of tho
country denounced him, and his In
fantile boom for tho Illinois senator
ihlp collapsed utterly. He did not go
to the Kankakee fair, where that boom
was slated to be started. It Is dltllcult
to write of Thompson, Mason and oth
er still more prominont foes of their
jountry In printable language. Those
who combat tlte government's war ef
forts "give aid and comfort to tho
jneniy" nnd exasperated loyalty won
Jers why tboy nro not subjected to the
penalties prescribed by tho law against
trenBon.
Great Victory for Italians.
When the Italian armies on Tuesday
stormed nnd captured Monto San Gu
brlelo they took the last mountain fort
ress barring their way toward Lalbach
and an advance thnt would separate
tho northern and southern Austrian
armies. Such n movement probably
will compel the Austrlnns to evneuato
Trieste, which has been under shell firo
from tho water for duys, and also Is
likely to result In tho taking of Tol
Jtl.i, captured by the Germans. 2 iJolonel
Gen. Ell. D. Iloyle choer(ng the parade
mlno by Cadorna's forces. In fnct, n
gi-ncral retirement of the Austrlnns on
that front was predicted. In the bat
tles on the Balnslzza plateau the Ital
ians captured Immense quantities of
arms and munitions, for the enemy lied
In haste and disorder. Nearer tho
const, the fortresstin Monto Hcrmnda
still held out against furious attacks,
keeping tho Itnllnns from advancing
on Trieste by that route.
Riga Taken by Germans.
Riga has fallen, the kaiser rejoices
and tho war-to-victory party In Ger
many has a new argument. But this,
like the Gntlclan affair, Is rather a
cheap victory over a disorganized
army, and was expected. The Russians
have retired beyond the River An,
lighting fairly well as they went, and
the fierce bravery of the Battalion of
Death enabled them to prepare a new
line of resistance.
The tuklng of Riga gives Germany
complete command of the Baltic and
the way lies open for an udvanco on
Petrogrnd by lund, but it is not nt all
certain tho knlser will go on to tho
Russian capital. The route is long and
through dllllcult country, and the ad
vantages of possessing Petrogrnd
might be offset by such nn extension
of his Hues Just ns winter is at hand.
t the time of writing, it appears like
ly that tho German Baltic Meet will
meet the Russlnn sea forces In battle
In the Gulf of Finland, it is believed
the fortified Islund of Osel at the head
of the Gulf of Riga and the port of
Reval, which guards the entrance to
the Gulf of Finland, cannot hold out
long, and the Russian Heet thus is like
ly to be cooped up under the guns of
Kronstadt, the greut fortress that pro
tects the port of Petrogrnd.
Part of the German ileet already has
been sighted at the entrance to the
Gulf of Finland.
Germany's offensive ugalnst Russia
appears to have been timed to coincide
with au expected counter-revolution
planned to restore autocracy In Russia.
the plot, however, was uncovered and
many nrrests of grand dukes and oth
ers have been made.
General AlexlelT, former commander
In chief, and General Vassllkovskl,
commander of the Petrogrnd garrison,
agreed Thursday that the fall of Riga
did not threaten Petrogrnd and was of
moral but not strategic Importance.
On the Western, Front.
In Franco nnd Flnnders the week
brought little change In the positions
of tlte opposfiig armies, though the
lighting was uninterrupted. Tlte Brit
ish deluged the German llfles In Bel
gium with shell fire that Indicated an
other drive, and there were reports
that Crown Prince Ruprecht was pre
paring to execute another "strategic
retreat" to the Courtral-Thourout lino
and thus give up a strip of territory
east of Ypres from ten to twenty miles
deep. This would help the allies on
their way toward the German subma
rine bases at Zeebrugge und other
ports on the Belgian coast.
Tho Germans made several air raids
on England, killing n number of per
sons, especially at Chatham, and one
of their U-bonts shelled Scarborough.
The British press exhibits some un
easiness lest tho Germans have "got
the Jump" on the allies In the matter
of Increased ulr forces. The United
State's, however, Is coming fast in this
respect, building machines as rapidly
as possible and training u big army of
aviators, here and abroad.
Again on Thursday night the Ger
man aviators devoted their attention
to the French hospitals behind the
Verdun lines, bombarding them for six
and a half hours and killing 10 soldiers
who already were severely wounded.
If a cablegram from Shnnghnt Is to
be believed, China Is about to enter
Into active participation In the war.
Tho Twenty-fourth army corps, com
posed of 15,000 ptcked troops from the
northern provinces, Is suld to be mobil
ized for Immediate depnrturo for Eu
rope, probably through Siberia to the
eastern front to assist tho Russians
and Roumnnlans. Tho corps Includes
several companies of engineers offi
cered by Chinese graduates of Ameri
can colleges, and nn aviation corps
trained by American nnd French air
men. Those troops would be the first
Mongolians to fight in Europe since the
tlmo of Genghis Khnn, 800 years ago.
Argentina two weeks ago was rejoic
ing over n supposed diplomatic victory
over Germany In tho matter of U-
Roosevelt, Charles E. Hughes, Adjt.
of Now York's draft atmy. 3 French
boats. Now the Soulh American re
public Is in the throes of a great rail
way strike which Is certainly fomented
nnd financed by Gernmns. Thousands
of workmen linvo'qult and there has
been serious destruction of property
nnd considerable rioting.
From "un American port" conies nn
exciting story of a concerted uttnek
by seven German submarines on u
Heet of 22 nllleif merchantmen west
bound; Four of tho largest of the
steamships were sunk by torpedoes,
but tho guns of the others destroyed
three of the U-bonts. Tho battle took
place 30 miles off tho const of Ireland.
Organized Labor Loyal.
Organized labor in the United
States, determined to nssert Its loyal
ty, met last week In Minneapolis, to
gether with many radicals and Sociul
Ists, nnd formed tho American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy. Under the
leadership of Samuel Gompers, Frank
P. Walsh, John Spnrgo and others, the
delegates declared the new organiza
tion firmly back of the armed forces of
the government in their fight for "n
victory which will mean the coming
of tho greatest world democracy ever
dreamed of." Definite reports have
been circulated that laborites are plan
ning to cripple various Industries by
strikes, especially the fuel industry.
These reports,. Mr. Gompers declnris,
do not relate to the American Federa
tion of Labor. They are, however, too
well substantiated to be Ignored.
The British trades union congress by
a vote of 2,894,000 to 91,000 declared
Itself opposed to participation In the
Stockholm congress, aud this, tnken
with the refusal of many countries to
grant passports to delegates, probably
Will result In the entire abandonment
of the gntherlng In the Swedish city.
Pope Preparing Second Note.
Not wholly discouraged by the fail
ure of his -peace note, Pope Benedict
Is preparing u second proposal for the
ending of the wnr. Premier Rlbot,
speaking on the Mnrne bnttleileld, de
clared that 'a requisite In uny pence
treaty acceptable to France wns the
restoration of Alsitce-Lorrnlne.
The German press continues to heap
abuse and ridicule on President Wil
son for his reply to the pope's note,
declaiming loud,ly against his demnnds
that tho government of Germany be
democratized before peace can bo
made with It. But the rclchstag mu
Jorlty Is Insistently demundlng Just
about the reforms the president con
siders essentlnl.
Dispatches from Switzerland say the
central powers havo determined on
the "partition of Polnnd. According to
the plun, Germnny Is to take about
one-tenth of Russian Poland to rectify
her frontier, nnd Austria will annex
the remainder, unite It to Gnllcia and
proclaim the territory the united king
dom of Polnnd, with Emperor Chnrles
as Its king. It Is to hnve its own par
liament, but Its foreign policy, finances
nnd nrmy nre to be controlled by Aus
tria. This plan does not please Hun
gary, because that country thinks Its
Influence will be lessened If the em
pire hecomes n triple kingdom.
Led by President Wilson nnd mem
bers of thq senate and house, und es
corted by thousands of soldiers and
sailors, the young men of the District
of Columbln selected for service In tho
Nntlonal army paraded the streets of
Washington on Tuesday, and similar
parades took place In hundreds of
cities and towns. Next day these men
of the Nntlonul nrmy begun streaming
from nil points of the compass Into
the 10 cantonment camps built for
their training and Instruction. They
are tho first 5 per cent of the (587,000
men selected by the draft.
The long wrangle in tho sennte over
war profits taxation ended In the de
feat of the high tax group and the
adoption ot the finance committee's
provisions for a totnl levy of 1,280,'
000,000, or about a third of this year's
war and normal excess profits. This
would make tho bill total 2,822,000,-
000.
Thursday night the house passed
unanimously the big wnr credRs bill
authorizing 11.538,045,400 in bonds
and certificates. Every effort of a
group of Republicans to .limit Secre
tary McAdoo's control over these Is
sues was defented, but an amendment
by Congressman Cannon wns adopted,
exempting from taxes Interest on
bonds not In excess of 5,000.

Sweden's representatives here, how
ever, were "shocked" at the news and'
professed to bellevo that Minister
Lowen, old and feeble had been an
Innocent tool for the German trick
sters. This may be Sweden's official
reply to the revclntions. nlong with

Sweden's entrance Into the wnr
