Also, some people forget what day of

later than they should.

GERMER
AS WITNESS
Socialist Party Never Solicited Money
for Defense Of Members
Who Resisted
Draft.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.]
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The national
socialist party never solicited money
for the defense of men who efused
to register for the draft, nor used
any money for that purpose, declared
Adolph Germer, one Of the five de-
PENDANTS in his testimony at the trial
of five socialist leaders here today.
The party did, however, use
in defense of socialists who were
prosecuted for making speeches n
distributing literature, Germer said,
citing a notice to that effect publish
ed in the New York Call, socialist
/ daily, in 1917.
Evidence tending to show that the
socialist party made efforts toward
peace as early as September, 1914,
before the United States entered the
Icon1ict, was given. Germer declared
peace meetings were held In New
York and Chicago in 1914 and 1915
and that an article printed in the can
at h a time blamed the war on CAPT
~talistic interests.
A proclamation was sent TO the
workers of Europe, Germer declared,
on August 4, 1914, by the committee
on Immediate action" Of which Vic
tor L.. Berger, another defendant,
was a member. The proclamation
urged the Europeans to rise to action
and fight for Immediate peace Ger
mer said.
Germer denied authorship of a let
fer violently attacking the draft law
and written to Walter S. Dillon, sec-
rotary of the Young Peoples socialist
league. The letter was dated at the
time the law was passed. !.
The socialist party platform OF
1915 incorporated the fourteen points
later advanced by the president as a
peace basis, Germer said.
He read ~copious excerpts from
menting freely on anti-war state
menttn gfreely on anti-war state
ments and the socialist demand for
peace.
Thomas. Chicago university professor
whose escapade with a pretty army
widow" gained him court notorlety
here, testified as a defense witness.

fense League" she presided at several
meetings addressed by Germer, she

for AL. Walters. Ray Caldwell. Frank
iGilhooley and Slim Love gives the
deal a flfty-ffty sort of look with
the advantage, If any exists, resting
on the side of Ed. Barrow.
In Lewis, Higgins obtained
strength for his outfeld, something
of which he has never possessed since
he became leader of New York's
American league representative. In
AL. Walters he gave to Barrow one
of the American leagues best young
catchers, something which the Red
Sox have needed since Bill Carrigan
decided to go to banking.
The pitchers added to the Yankee
staff by the decker, will help, but
the additional slabmen slipped to
! Barrow will also give the Sox a bet
ter choice of filling a depleted staff.
Gilhooley's worth is practically dis
counted through the fact that the
Red Sox already have Hooper, Strunk
and Shorten to draw from
The Red Sox were good enough
last summer to win a pennant with
only a little help from Leonard, none
from Shore to speak Of, and little
from Lewis. Therefore. the relin-
punishment OF this trio hurt only
slightly. The Sox were badly in need
of a catcher to help Agnew. There
fore, they have helped.
The trade, however, results in this
fact:
1t places the Yankees within shoot
ing distance of a pennant, for it
gives them a strong outfiled and a
strong pitching staff. A good infeld
already exists.
