adaptation of the plan of the French
government in awarding honors TO its
aviators. An ace in France is an airman
who has brought down five enemy air
planes within the French lines. An "ace
scout" is one whose red postcards show
that he has met the government require
ments in the sale of stamps. For each
additional 800 of orders that the "ace
scout" turns in, he will receive bronze
palm TO be fastened to the ribbon of his
medal.

during 1918 wins the greatest number of
war savings palms, viii receive per-
sonal letter OF thanks from the president
of the United States.
The wives of the members of the pres
ident's cabinet have offered to present

Houston. Private Martin enlisted in the
forestry division only few months

DENNAN REOPENS CONTROVERSY ON
 BUILDING SHIPS
Former Chairman of Shipping Board Says General Goeth- els Was Responsible for the Program
CRv Review Leasea Wiren

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-Wil- liam Denman, former cbairman of the United States shipping board, tele- graphed today to Senator Fletcher, chairman of the senate commerce commission, charging responsibility for the Hog Island shipyard contracts 10 Maj. Gen. George W. Goethals, for mer administrator of the shipping pro gram. Denman said that in view of the senate's proposed investigation of the Hog Island contracts and delays he wished to make his own position clear in matters on which he and General Goethals disagreed.
 The statement deals in part with the controversy between the two for mer officials over the wooden ship program, which was advocated by lay in construction work on the Hog Island plant. This delay, the state ment asserts, was due to the failure Of General Goethals to present figures to the shipping board on the cost of the plant After an S-day effort by Denman to obtain these figures from the general. both officials resgined their positions on the shipping board.
 General Goethals vouched to me for the character and the constructive ability of the gentlemen of the Amer ican International corporation and its allied associates, with whom he hao been negotiating for two months" the statement says.
 'He insisted that we should accept their figures on ship construction without giving to the shipping board the estimates on which they were based He asked us to allow them a compensation nearly double that finally agreed upon by Admiral Capps. He asked us to build the plant which has cost over $55.0O0.000 on the pri- Yately-owned land of the American International corporation. He asked Us to give to the corporation an option Cn the government plant The attorney generals recent findings seem to justify our eight days. deliberations and refusal of such blind ac- quiescence in the undisclOsed contrac- tors figures"

WALSH TESTIFIES IN
 BEHALF OF BERGER
Tells of Failing Out With BurIeson Over Closing Mails to Socialist Pub lications Which He Held to subvert Constitutional Rights

CHICAGO, Dec. 21-Frank P Walsh, former head of the federal in dustrial relations commission. and later joint chairman of the federal war labor hoard, was the principal witness for the defense at today's session of the trial of Congressman elect Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee and four other socialist leaders, who are charged with conspiracy to vio- late the espionage law.
 He told of Q controversy he had with Postmaster General Burleson in July, 1917, at a hearing in Washing ton. D. C., over a request that the second class mailing privileges be re- stored to the American Socialist and and other papers. Walsh said he af- terward wrote a letter to the post master-general protesting against the officials action and the departments method of handling this class of cases and threatening to appeal to President Wilson. Postmaster-General Burleson in his reply characterized MT. Walsh's letter as "impertinent and probably in tended to be offensive"
 Mir. Walsh testified that later he laid the case before President Will son and suggested number of re- forms in the manner of handling these cases. The witness said that his purpose in protesting to the Washing ton officials was to safeguard the con stitutional rights of free speech and Q free press.
 He said he had read several copies Of the American Socialist and a num- Der of the and-war pamphlets circu- lated by the socialist party, but had not been greatly impressed by them.
 On cross examination he drew distinction between what he thought should he barred from the mails and what should be excluded under the espionage law. He expressed the view that much Of the socialist anti-war literature might be mailed without do- ing any harm.
 He said he did not agree with the socialists that it was a capitalist war and vouchsafed the opinion that many persons who expected to make great profits out Of the war would be sorely disappointed when they got through paying war taxes.
