RUSSIA CHAOS FOR AMERICA.

II Victor Berger, congressman elect from
Milwaukee. is to De seated when the next con-
oress organizes it should only take place after
his credentials have been found to stand the acld
test Men under indictment for sedltious utter,
anceS have no place in the congress OF the Ohlleo
States until they are able to furnish clean OH
of loyalty and patriotism.
II must be remembered that Berger was
chosen by German Milwaukee and we may as
sumo that his pro German attitude ana MS b'F-
Shoyik utteranceS were more or less IN harmony
with the current thought in that town.
Only last Sunday Berger and few of his
feIIoV-haters of the American system of govern
ment held meeting in Chicago. e might as
sumo that Chicago with its large German popU-
lation and its element Of cltlzenShlp mace up d
those strange racial admiNtureS which gather
onlv in the largest industrial centers would hnI
something in Berger to applaud. He and his fel
low agitators had opposed the war on German
miGtarism and they had openly ADVOCATED a kind
of disovalty that approached the line as close A.
they dared 10 90 These men preach the Lenin"
stvlc of government the kind Of chaos TrotSky
and his ilk are trying to thrust down the throatS
Of the Russian people with policy of murder
and arson and crime and rampant disorder
But the German population Of Chicago would
have nothing to do with Berger and his frayed
and fanatical logic.
We quote from the Chicago Tribune the fol
lowing with respect to the Sunday session at the
Coliseum:
The speakers addressed congenial audi
ence who numbered not enough Iiterate
Americans to make up cOrp0raFS guard.
The hall was filed with men and women who
know nothing Of our history or the lessons Of
centuries of experience upon which the insti-
tutiOns Of our country are founded
They have brought 20 this country their
experience Of European wrongs and their
Imperial Valley press., 1918-11-27

scheme of reform under European conditions
and they ask the American people to adopt
them panacea for all social and political
ills;
1t is piece of msoence mitigated only by
its futility But it is worthy of attention
source of disturbance American comman
sense is quite able to deal with this inva-
sion of imported radcalism which waves
the red flag and insults when it dares the
Stars and Stripes and the whole ordered
system of American individual liberty.
But it should not be permitted to grow
bv new drafts from the same sources of
alienism. America cannot 90 forward by
turning backward to the experience of OPP
pressed and backward Europe. There is no
profit in throwing these clogs upon our sane
progress.
In view of Berger's position there is a sort
Of impudent bravado in his attitude which Is
sure to receive the severe condemnation of men
who are interested in the future welfare and
progress of the American nation.
We have made better progress in the 135
wears that have elapsed since 1888 when the gov
ernment was legally born than has been attane
by any other nation in the world. 1t is to be
noticed that the class which rushes to America
fresh from the restrictions of autocratic rule in
Europe furnishes the noisy Bolsheviki element
that wants to overthrow all that Americans re-
gard with respect and look to with confidence.
Some of these foreigners have hardly learned
10 Sav more than few words of English before
they are advising American born citizens how
this government should be run. This attitude Is
one Of the dSagreeabe outcroppngs of free
country, but it is to be observed that there IS
plenty of sane Amercanism here to treat Wild
eyed hySteria with contempt.
In this connection / is interesting to note
that CONGRESSMAN Patrick H. Kelley of Mich-
can makes his position with regard to seating
Berger clear in the following words which he
wired TO a Michigan paper in response to d.
rect question as to how he should vote:
Il believe America should set its face
firmly against the Lenine- Trotsky brand of
Socialism No better start can be made in
this direction, in my Judgment, than to bar
Mr. Berger from seat in congress. | am
therefore, opposed to seating him.
II will be interesting to learn how the mem
bers Of the California delegation respond -
this query.
Berger's Chicago meeting was to celebrate
the downfall Of the kaiser, The impudence of t..
If the balance of our citizenship had assumed
the same attitude that Victor Berger assumed
before and during the war there would have been
no downfall of the kaiser to celebrate.
Then again President Wilson may wish to
see with his own eyes all the things Colonel
House has been telling him about

STRAEING IT-BOATS.

BEGAN hurriedIy to submergc.
Meanwhile the wireless opcrator of
! The "blimp" was busy sending ouI urg
en signals TO various pa rol boats and
submarine chasers known to be IN he
vicinity.
Climbing 10 a heishl of about 1,5o0

easily visible. and taking careful aim
through his sights he "blimp's' &un-

see with his own eyes all the things Colonel
House has been telling him about.
The Chattanooga news. [volume] (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1891-1939, 1918-01-03

Indications are that the German at
titude is harmonizing domestic differ
ences And is convincing Russians that
they must fight to save their revolu-
tionary principles.
Chairman Joffe, of the Russian peace
delegation, today sent an official tele-
gram to the chairman of the German
Austrian Bulgarian and Turkish dele
cations, saying the Russian republic
deems it necessary. to conduct further
peace negotiations on neutral soil and
suggesting a transfer of the confer
ence to Stockholm. The telegram de-
clares that replies to the message are
exl Acted by Russia in Petrograd.
Article / and 2 of the Austro- Ger
man terms submitted Dec. II (Dec. 25
new style), the message says, are in
direct conflict with the principles of
self definition Of nations insistHd. upon
hy the Russian peace delegation and
supported by the Russian republic and
the central executive committee of the
congress of workmen's and soldiers
delegates.
Article 1 and of the Austro- Ger
man terms, as cabled under a Brest-
Litovsk date by way of Berlin last
Sunday, covered the ending of state
of war and evacuation of occupied
territory. In article 2, however, twas
declared that the people of Poland,
Lithuania, Courland and portions of
Esthonia and Livonia demand !inde-
pendence and separation from Russia,
and that the German occupation of
Russian territory did not apply to
these districts, which include most of
the Russian territory captured by the
Germans.
