F. KOSPOTH during the war
Geneva, where in a series of
Public Ledger he predicted, long before the conclusion of hostilities,
the downfall of the German empire and the disintegration of the
German people. The realization of his forecast of conditions that fol
lowed the collapse of the Hohenzollerns and imperialism is a matter of
history, and gives his observations regarding the purposes of Interna
tional Socialism an equal authority, since he has had opportunity for a
similar study of that doctrine, which is set forth with his customary
vigor and keen analysis in the accompanying article.
By B. F. KOSPOTH
Special Correspondent of the Evening Public Ledger in Switzerland
Geneva, Sept 27.
"DECENT attempts to launch a general strike in Europe "as a protest
against tho peace of Paris" were partof a 'revolutionary plot to upset
existing governments. The world-wide strike fever is a deliberate creation
of radical leaders for political rather than for social ends. From this dis
tance the threat of a walkout on American railroads and the present
tumult in the steel industry at Pittsburgh suggest again the influence of
social revolutionists who arc exerting pressure in the conservative labor
organizations for a purpose which the rank and file of intelligent workers
know nothing about.
The plan for a general European strike proved futile. It appears that
its disconcerted promoters have now decided to postpone "the historical
moment" until the meeting this winter of the General International So
cialist Congress in Geneva, which seems 'destined to bring the official con
stitution of ' "United Socialist International," including the Russian Bol
, sheviks and the Socialist parties of Italy and Switzerland, who have al
ready openly espoused Lenine's sinister creed.
Bolsheviks Will Control the "International"
If this amalgamation really takes place it is easy to predict who will
contrql tho new Socialist machine, for Lenine and Trotsky are politicians
r of vastly buperior caliber to Messrs.
their colleagues. The "United International" will be a Bolshevik organ'
"izatfori.
The leaders of the "Socialist International" the political general staff
of European labor have uehnttdly
( Switzerland. The Socialist conference at Berne, which culminated last
February in the reconstitution of the "International," and the surprising
reconciliation between the Entente Socialists and the ex-servitors of the
kaiser, was followed in August by the conference of Lucerne, which
in its turn is but a preliminary function to the "General International
Socialist Congress."
The Swiss Government docs not
of the European Socialists for the land which in happier times was unpo
litically termed "the playground of Europe" and would prefer to see them
transfer the center of their activities elsewhere. But in days when the
cabinets of the greatest European powers nervously obey the behests of
tho mighty chiefs of the "International" and impotently grant them all
facilities for the preparation of their revolutionary plans, it can scarcely
be expected that little Switzerland shall venture to oppose their will.
Vision "Proletariat" of Future
Once again, as in tho austere Volkshaus at Berne, I have heard the
speakers of the "International" voice their doctrine in the gaudy halls of
the Lucerne Kursaal, whence the music stands of the band and the green
roulette tables had been, temporarily expelled an orr-en, as one prophetic
delegate explained, of the great time to come when the "proletariat" shall
rise and occupy the pleasure haunts of the rich and idle and solve therein
in solemn debate the social problems of the world.
Under the wide-spreading plantain trees of the Lucerne quay I have
sauntered on summer evenings with garrulous delegates, while Mount
Pilatus loomed dimly up against the star-lit sky across the lake, and I
have listened to their discourse over the coffee and liqueurs in the lobbies
of palatial Swiss caravanserais.
Tho rulers of the "proletariat" invariably take up their residence in
the most exclusive and expensive hotels. It is part of their propaganda to
dazzlo their awe-struck subjects with this display of affluence and power.
Besides, it is their right Some of them have already been cabinet minis
ters and the others confidently expect to bo soon, or rather, in Interna
tional slang, "commissaries of the people." And there is plenty of money
at their disposal for their little trips to Switzerland.
It is "tainted money," to be sure, in so far as its source is rumored
to bo the mysterious munificence of an American "financier," not alto
gether voluntarily exiled in Switzerland during the war money ostensibly
flowing from Mexican oil wells and the "toil of sweated workers," but still
legal tender, whatever its origin, readily accepted by hotelkeepers and
restaurateurs throughout the world.
"Socialist International" Not Adequate
Now, I do not mean to suggest that there are no sincere enthusiasts
among the Socialists who assemble internationally and periodically in the
Swiss pleasure resorts. Still further from my intention is it to deny that
old Europe stands in dire need of sweeping political and social reforms if
she would avoid imminent catastrophe and chaos.
But what I do feel bound to declare is my conviction that the "Social
ist International" is not an adequate organ independently to carry out
these reforms and that its way is not the right way to restore the lost joy
of lifeand work to the war-stricken peoples of Europe. An identical
appreciation underlies the wise reluctance of Samuel Gompers and tho
American labor leaders to take part in the palavers and maneuvers of the'
Entente Socialists.
Like the Berne conference, the congress of Lucerne has avoided pro
claiming the open adherence of the "Second International" to Lenine's
"Third International" in Moscow, seeking further to temporize and com
promise by adopting an ambiguous resolution regarding the Bolshevik
doctrine and the "dictatorship of the proletariat." In spite of this guarded
reticence, there can be absolutely no doubt that the European Socialist
parties are rapidly going over to bolshevieirt.
Foresees Historical Moment
Tho Dutch Socialist leader, Troelstra, interviewed in Lucerno, made
the following illuminating statement:
I am convinced thut tho movement to the left which is about to
tako place, will lead. to the creation o a Socialist revqlutonary
center in which, all tho various revolutionary parties of all countries
can find their Unity. Sociaj democracy is "in essence and in fact-a

By the Associated Press
London, Sopt. 27. "The ipreeipi-
tnncy of this action gives tlic impression
ot n deliberate and matured intention
on the part of some individuals to seek
a quarrel at any cost," said Premier
Lloyd Gcorgo in n statement today on
the nation-wide railway strike, which
besnn Inst night, I3 iug tip oil rail
traffic.
"It has convinced mc it is not a
Strike for vvnges or better conditions,"
continued the premier. The govern
ment has reason to believe it tine been
engineered for some time by a small
but active body of men who have
wrought tirelessly and insidiously to
exploit the lnhor orgstnizntions of this
country for subversive cuds."
Tie-up Is Complete
The ministry of transport, shortly
before '.I o'clock this afternoon, an
nounced that stoppage of traffic on the
railronds was virtually complete, except
in Ireland, where the lines are not af
fected. The announcement said that
no disturbance had been reported.
The decision of the Underground Mo-
tormcn'.s Union Inst night to support
the strike completed the tie-up. Thou
sands of persons could not be necom
modated by the inadequate bus and tram
scrvico and were rbliged to walk to
work
Slauy resorted to bicjcles and i
even to toller skates
Troops May Kun Trains
Tho government is said to be pre
pared to opernte the railroads with
armed forces, if necessary, but its defi
nite program for meeting the condition
beforo the country has not et devel
oped. It has issued orders placing all
gugtnnd under a war regimen, so fur ub
food and fuel is concerned, and it wai
stated yesterday the mails would be
carried by airplane. Thus far the em
ployes of the Irish railroads have not
struck.
One of the most disquieting features
of the situation Is the possibility that
the miners and transport workers, ho,
with the railway men, form vvhi.t is
an already serious crinlj iu the Iubur
-.vnrld of England.
The strike is of n different nature
from ordlnury labor distiiibaunw, be
cause the railways and the mines arc
under government manesoncnt.
Relations Not Broken
C. T. Cramp, president of the union,
interviewed Sir Kric Geddes, minister
of transport, this forenoon. This, al
though not regarded as a reopening of
negotiations, is considered an judica
tion that the men and the government
still maintain friendly, terms. toward
each other.

Bryn Mawr Head Says In

,A strike by college professors if the

with which to pay them liberally was
suggested by Miss Helen Tnft, daugh
ter of former President W. II. Tnft, in
nn address todny at a meetiug at Itryu
Mawr College, of which she is acting
president. The session was to consider
the proposed drive for $1,000,000 to
add to the endowment.
Miss Tnft said if the college profes
sors of tho country were to organize
and go on strike they would have a bet
ter ense than the .Baptist ministers, who
talked of walking out, A strike, she
said, would be justified if thp public
showed that It was unwilling to pay
for education. Miss Tnft explained that
the strike she had in mind was not
against the officers or trustees of col
leges, but against a niggardly public
whirl1 would not supply needed money.

said Miss Taft, college professors would

tfio reception given to me in this
city."
This was said today by Cardinal
Mercier before leaving Archbishop
Dougherty's residence, 17L'.' Itace
street, for his visit to Independence
Hall. The cardinal conveyed bis
benediction through Archbishop
Dougherty.
Cardinal Mercier, tho distinguished
Belgian primate, was again acclaimed
todny by thousands of persons ns he
rode through the city on a sightseeing
tour thnt covered more than four hours
nnd brought him in touch with Phila
delphia's points of historic and civic in
terest. He visited the Mayor's office, City
Hall, was deeply interested and im
pressed nt Independence Hall, where he
touched the . Liberty Ball, toured
through 1'airmount Park and visited
several institutions. Then he went to
the University of Pennsylvania and saw
his first American football game.
The cardinal's visits included those to
St. Charles' seminary at Ovcrbrook,
where he blessed the faculty and student
body, to Villanova College, where
Augustlnia priests and students paid
him homage, and the University of
Pennsylvania, where he was a luncheon
guest of Provost Smith.
In bis brilliant robes of (.carlct, the
cardinal, once a professor at the Uni
versity of Latlvaln, inndo an imposing
picture in the beautiful grounds nnd
buildings of the University of Penn
sylvania. It was a splendid setting in the
Bell chamber of the venerable edifice
soon after 10 o'clock this morning as
tho cardinal, cloaked in the scarlet of
his rank, stood meditating beside the
Bell.
His right hand, the hand that had
penned blasting denunciations of Ger
man cruelties, rested for a moment lov
ingly on the cracked surface of the now
silent herald of liberty.
"When I look at the Liberty Bell."
he said, "my mind goes back to the
beginning of this country a century nnd
u half ago. Nobody can help but ponder
und be amazed at the activity of the
people of such n country which grew
so quickly."
"Symbol of Fraternal Spirit"
The cardinal paused a moment nnd
his glance rested ou the hell's inscrip
tion. "Liberty," he continued, "is the feel
ing most deep in my country. This bell
to me hereafter will be the symbol of
the spirit of fraternity which unites
I my ow n little land to the great republic
of America."
j The Belgian primate was a trifle
i hoar.se as he spoke. He caught a slight
cold lai-t night while riding in an open
I automobile from the Metropolitan Opera
House mass-meeting to the American
Legion rally nt the Academy of Music.
While in Independence Hall the car
dinal nt the invitation of Mnyor Smith,

where the first constitution of 1'ennsyl
vania was framed.
Comments on Modern Lights

high br.T from which the early justices
had looked down. His quick eyes noted
the shaded electric light thrown op a
portrait, aud he commented on the pres
ence of the modern light where only
cundles had burned .when this nation
wus joung.
It was in the Declaration chamber
that the cardinal commented on the
bwiftucss of the Americans.
"Yes, jour eminence," replied Arcb
bishop Dougherty, "they are very swift.
The photographers took your picture at
12 o'clock and It will be published nt
