. FEELING AGAINST THE WAR. , GROWING IN GERMANY. Electric Telegraph—Pr«m Association. Copyright. , | London, Last Night. I I A remarkable manifesto by the In- , dependent Social Democratic Party of j Germany, hitherto unpublished ow- ' ing to the German censorship, shows | that feeling against the war is ever i growing in Germany, and the anger i against the Government is deepening. I , .The manifesto says: “The war, with its misery and of liberty, | continues. Every day fresh victories disappear into the tomb. In the | East the sword of the conqueror imposed a peace which provoked an im- | mense rancour. German and Austraian bayonets have taken sides against I the Russians, who were fighting for ! liberty. The Central European Ali liance will thus divide the nations of | the future into two enemy camps, bristling with arms. We are men- ! aced with the danger that the German Imperial forces, after a short ; repose, will enter a new war for the domination of the world. While the international proletariat does not stand up to the representatives of the policy of violence, who are thirsty I for conquest, it is useless to dream of peace of ilie peoples which will lo i universal an 3 permanent.” j The manifesto goes on to sav tl :.t ! the suffrage proposals, of ox j tending the franchise as promised. ! aim at robbing the ]>eople of their | rights m an iniquitous fashion. Meanwhile the agrarian classes are seeking to increase their profits, at the expense of the people’s bread. The conquest of Roumnnin and the Ukraine gave no amelioration of tltoi Food position. ’rile manifesto calls on the Socialists “to protest everywhere against the Government, tot shake up the indifferent and apathetic, and support with all your force the party which is working for peace, liberty, and bread.
