No workers in an enemy army could possibly be brought to fire upon their peace-proclaiming brothers! And here at last was the test of the theory; here were German Socialists ordered to march against Russian Socialists ordered to fire upon the red flag! Would they do what their masters, the war-lords, commanded?
It had chanced that the day which the War-lords and Money-lords of Europe had chosen to drive their slaves to slaughter was the day on which the Candidate had been scheduled to speak in the Leesville Opera-house. No wonder the Socialists of the little inland city were stirred!
Some of them were the bodies of very young men poor boys of sixteen and seventeen from German high schools and universities who were the sons of noble and well-to- do families, had been accepted as volunteers by Prussian war-lords ruthless of human life in their desperate gamble with fate. Some of these lads were brought to the hospitals in Furnes, badly wounded.
Jimmie's hands were clenched, Jimmie's jaw was set, Jimmie's feet were tramping, tramping on the road to Berlin, to teach the Prussian war-lords what it meant to defy the free men of a great republic! But then something would happen to blast these budding excitements in Jimmie's soul. The red-faced fellow would break into the rhythm of the march.
There are hundreds of thousands of Germans to-day who firmly believe that their war-lords will return in triumph from the stricken field, bringing with them the spoils of war, and scattering a largess of peace and plenty.
