ANZAC Day Action*

Melbourne, Australia,
10:30 a.m. Sat 25 April
* An antiauthoritarian anticapitalist initiative

DOWN WITH MILITARISM!
Anzac day is approaching again. The media are full of myth-making about the "heroic" Australian military's exploits in Afghanistan, mourning the deaths of Australian troops but not those of their victims.

The ANZAC DAY ANTI-MILITARIST ACTION is on again.
It will be held outside the old headquarters of the Industrial Workers of the World. We'll be there again to oppose all wars past and present and particularly to oppose Australian imperialism.

Workers around the world are on the same side. All armies are our enemies.
Join us in protesting against nationalism & militarism and in promoting a working class alternative to war.

10:30 a.m. Saturday 25 April

Today's (Random) Moment in History: I asked my laboratory assistant, who was informed of the self-experiment, to escort me home. We went by bicycle, no automobile being available because of wartime restrictions on their use. On the way home, my condition began to assume threatening forms. Everything in my field of vision wavered and was distorted as if seen in a curved mirror. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me that we had traveled very rapidly. Finally, we arrived at home safe and sound, and I was just barely capable of asking my companion to summon our family doctor and request milk from the neighbors.
