The blood of these great working class leaders together with that of thousands of other militant workers stains the hands of the German so- cialists. These leaders had dedicated their lives to the struggles of the workers against the capitalist state and had suffered many times in the prisons of Germany. It was left to the yellow social democrats to commit the crime of murdering our leaders while engaged in the valiant strug- gle to establish a workers’ govern-- ment.

* * • Karl Liebknecht was well-known for his continual sruggle against the Ger- man plutocracy. Born at a time when his illustrious father, Wilhelm Lieb- knecht, was serving time in jail for socialist agitation, Karl early became interested in the revolutionary move- ment. Early in his activities he real- ized the importance of organizing the socialist youth since he had become convinced of the sterility of the old line socialists and their non-revolu- tionary attitude He was instrumental in calling the first International So- cialist Youth Congress in Stutgart in 1907, which assumed a revolutionary position in opposition to the reform- ists struggles of the party. During the world war Liebknecht’s name was on the lips of every honest revolu- tionist.
