"Allah Akbar!"

THE EAST TO THE WEST.

DOWN WITH CAPITALISM t

"Ull Allah, ub dulla Illah—Allah j akb&ri" The warcry of the East in the holy war. That is the idea. That ie the spirit. Let us make it a holy war—let it be our religion. Dcrtfft ■with conscription, down with capitalism, down with tyranny, oppression, lying, humbug, cant, hypocrisy and exploitation. Allah akbar! We must have no thought for weariness, no count of obstacles, nothing to pervert our zeal for the cause. The capitalist system stands in the wajj! of progress, of freedom, of liberty. At' Stake is the well-being of our wives and children —of all those we hold dear. The stakes are high, and we play for the counters of life. We must win. Of that there is no douht. It is merely, a matter of time fftd education, ana more education. . Nothing can stop the t*de of progress. It is written in the books, shouted aloud in the fields, sung by the birds. Liberty! Martyrs have dfcd for it, poets have sung of it, authors have vritten of it=-and it is there; and we who are in and of the fight feel it in our bones. Shall we pause in the struggle? Aye, yes; to get a tighter clinch on our arms, to gird up afresh for the fray, to breathe deep and full and vow for nothing but freedom and liberty and emancipation. We may stifF«fr'^jk|ittle—yes, but what oirjt? Vm-ga&l, that is the 1 thing; ami we are .winning all along the lines. Therefore, onoe ifitfr© we shout the shout of the East. "Allah akbar t"— WYATX E.
