DESIGNS ON ABMY. POISONOUS LITERATURE. LONDON PAPER'S EXPOSURE. (Received 12.35 a.m.) Sun. LONDON, Sept, 8. The Daily Mail publishes a secret Communist manifesto which it calls "a second Zinovieff letter." The document was issued through the offices of the Third (Communist) International, of which Zinovieff is the president, under cover of a Soviet trading company, Centrosoyus, Limited. It reads as follows : "To prepare armies, also masses of workers, for an effective war against war, it is necessary to create legal and illegal soldiers' organisations; to carry on the uninterrupted, persevering and systematic work of agitation and enlightenment within the army, and to bo ready at the decisive moment to lead the armies in a rising against .the bourgeoisie. "A continuous fight must be conducted for disarming tho White Guard, arming the working classes, and establishing workers' Governments. The latter task will be to carry out these demands against the ruling class."
