October 5, 1918 issue

The article discusses books and authors. When the St. Louis Socialist Convention, in April, 1917, asserted the American declaration of war, "In all modern history, there has been no war more unjustifiable than the war in which we are about to engage," the party lost what hold it had on the mass of the American people, and only shortly thereafter, the daily press recorded the resignation of Statesman John Spargo from the party of which he had long been a leader, but in which he was always a man somewhat apart.
