plane factories at Berlin where he
had been for some time previous
ly employed. He stated he was a
member of the Socialist Heino-
cratie party. When naked to
state his objects of the war, he
gave the novel reply:
"Each belligerent should pay
its own costs involved by the
war, Belgium included. Alsirre
and Lorraine should be returned
to France.”
"But who are you then making
war!” was the next surprised
question.
“Merely to make revolution
certain afterwards,” was the
prompt reply.
The prisoner said he was a
subscriber to the “ Vorwaarts,”
the German socialists’ newspaper,
but that he had not received
for some past, as the military
thorities no longer allowed it
be delivered to the soldiers,
