TRIAL Of FAMOUS B.
|. SOCIALISTS OPENS
Congressman Elect Berger
and Four Others Face
Charges of Sediton.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The trial OF Vic
tor Berger, congressman-elect Of Mil
waukee; Adolph Germer, national sec
rotary Of the socialist party; Irwin st.
John Tucker, William S. Kruse and j.
Louis Engdahl, socialist propaganda,
indicted under the espionage act, be-
gan in federal court today before Judge
Kenesaw M. Lands, They are charged
with making speeches and distributing
literature that had for their purpose
the encouragement OF enlistment of
men In the military forces OF the United
States.
Appearing for the indicted men to-
day were Seymour Stedman, William A.
Guinea and Swan Johnson, of Chicago,
and Isaac Edward Ferguson and Henry
Cockens, of Milwaukee. The govern
ment was represented by U. S. Dis
trict Attorney Charles f, Clyne and his
assistant. Joseph Fleming.
The prominence of the men In the
councils of the socialist party, whose
opposition to the war was expressed
in the platform adopted at the last
national convention of the party in st.
Louis, gives widespread interest to the
trial. Berger has served a term in
congress and long has been active in
politics in Milwaukee. where he edited
a newspaper, Engdahl edited the
American Socialist official organ of the
party until 1t was suppressed by the
authorities. He is o editor of the
Eye Opener, a publication issued by
the socialist party and also the Chicago
Socialist. Germer, the national execu-
tive secretary of the party, is also one
Of the staff of speakers. Kruse is di-
rector of the National Young Peoples
socialist league and editor of the Young
clergyman, at one time directed the
socialist party's literature department.

HYG|EN|C AX|OMS
CREDITED WITH
NAVY'S SHOWING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The navy's
excellent health and low mortality rate
during the war is attributed by Rear
Admiral Braisted surgeon-general Of the
navy, in his annual report today, largely
to the increasing appreciation by com
manding officers Of the rules of by
giene and sanitation. Where defects
in the health system have developed,
he says, the blame rails largely on
the country's appropriateness for oper-
atoms Of such magnitude.
DR.. Braisted expects rne hospital ad-
mission rate for the calendar year Of
1918 to prove to be rover thar the
peace time average despite expansion
Of personnel and unusual conditions.
During the year 1913 men were
drowned, 30 died from exposure and
AZ were killed by gunsnot wounds.
The war has served, Or. BREASTED
says, to clear the regulations Of the
preston In the pubic mind that dis
eases due to SOCIAL evils were more
prevalent In the service thar outside.
Service doctors have commended all
along, he adds, that the ratio stood
three to one In favoC- or the trained
service men, and statistics compiled
by the provost marshai-general on the
first draft support them,
The navy medical department began
an organized fight against these dis
eases Is years ago, Inc report says,
and the demands OF the country now
have been aroused untiI a nationwide
campaign Is being waged not only
against the diseases themselves, out
also against the underlying social con-
dltions on which they flourish.

ELABORATEPLANS
BEING MADE FOR
WILSON NJ PARIS
State Dinners, Official Calls
and Probably Great Gala
Night Included in Program
Being Arranged for.

PARIS. Dec. 9.-Elaborate plans are
being made by the French for the en-
tertainment Of President Wilson. These
plans include various state dinners and
official calls and probably a gala night
at the opera. The program Will be
completed in the next few days.
Up to the present 1t has been decided.
that President Wilson, upon his arrival
at the Bots de Boulogne station at 10
o'clock Saturday morning will be met
by President Poincare and other mem-
bers Of the French government. lie
will then go Immediately to the Murat
mansion, which will be his home while
he is in Paris. No definite decision has
been reached as to what the president
will do on Sunday, but it is probable
he will drive about Paris. 1t is pos
sible that other plans may be made be-
fore that time. Mr.. Wilson's drive on
Monday to the Hotel de Vile will be
an occasion of considerable ceremony.
As soon as possible after his arrival,
Mr.. Wilson will confer with Col. House.
The conference probably will take place
at the "Maison Blanche de Paris" Col.
House has been busily engaged recently
and is in position to furnish the presi-
dent with considerable information
which may be Of value in the task ly-
ing before him.
The school children of Paris will be
out in force when the president ar
rives. Thursday Is usually a school
holiday in Paris, as Saturday is in the
United States. King George of Eng
land and King Albert of Belgium ar
rived in Paris on Thursday SO that the
children did not have an extra holiday,
which the arrival of President Wilson
will give them.
Virtually all the mercantile establish
ments in Paris have notified their en-
ployes that neXt Saturday will be a full
holiday. The streets near the station
where the president will arrive Will be
filled with people. The socialists are
taking a great interest in the occasion
of Mr.. Wilson's visit.

REPORT SAYS 1873
0FF|CERSO Of GUARD
WERE ELIMINATED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Within nine
months after the national guard vas
drafted into federal service, 1913 of
its officers had been eliminated, Brig. -
Gen, John W. Heavey, chief of the bu-
reau Of militia a~fafirs, said in his an
nual report made public today. These
included one major-general, 16 briga-
dierS and A. colonies.
Causes Of elimination OF the officers
are given as physical disability 5ll.
designations GAS and action of efficiency
boards 1852. Thirty officers were dis
missed by sentence or Courts-martial
and two are carried on the rolls as de-
serters. Tn large number of officers
dropped can be satisfactorily explained,
Gen, Heavey said, by the fact that only
a small proportion had had any mill
tarly training while a substantial pro
portion lacked the necessary basic edu-
cation and physical qualifications.
The aggregate strength of the ma
tional guard drafted into federal ser
vice, is given as IL, 200 officers and
367,223 enlisted men.
In justice to the organization" the
report declared, attention is called to
the fact that Is divisions, composed
almost entirely Of national guard troops,
were furnished in the present emer-
gency. All but three or these divisions
are now CSept. 25) in France"
