"TO PREACH MURDER!"

BEN TILLETT'S ANGER. "I am going to get a little sleep," said Ben Tillott,, "and then I'm going to hurry back to London to preach raur'der." Rather less than a fortnight ago Ben Tillett, with pormita in his pocket (writes tho Paris correspondent , of tho Daily Express), camo over to France to see things for himsolf. Ho went to Rheims. he wont to the Ar- i gonnc, he came back to Paris. A week ago he went out to British headquarters, and he has spent a week there, 1 and with the Fronch troops, whoro I the Allied lines toudh. Ho eaiid to j mo: — "I havo learnt my lesson from my visit to Franco. I havo learnt that there'is another moaning to the word ' strike' now. By , we've got to strike now, and every ounce of British grit, of British energy, of British gold, of British brain has got to bo behind tho blow. "Mind you, I've-boon friendly with Germans for thirty years, and I never roalTy "knew them. Thoy were too cunning for me. I know them now. They will stick at nothing. They don't understand common decency or ordinary manhood, and if we've got to livo in tho future we must teach thorn their lesson. "Wo must break them up. Wo must have tho nation behind' us to do it. ' "There is only ono word for it — patriotism . Wo must wipe them out or die. I know what they've done to women and children. I've seen what they've done ito tho homes. I shivered at the wrecked cathedrals, but I choked and swore at the wreck- | ed kitchens and the pathos of tho broken toys and ruin of little lives."
