CENTRAL CONGRESS OF DE-. .ECATES
FROM SOLDIERS AND W0RKMEN'S
COUNCIL OPENS IN BERLIN TODAY

Berlin, Monday, Dec. 1e.-(By the
Associated Press )--The central con-
gress Of delegates from soldiers and
workmen's councils from many parts
Of Germany opened today in the build
sing formerly used by the Prussian
diet There were three women
among the $50 6Jgegates.
During the Organization sof the con-
gress it became evident that the In
tacus group were greatly outnum-
bered. A significant development was
that none Of the important posts in
the congress was given to delegates
from Berlin.
The Spartacus group made futile
attempt to intimidate the congress.
Early in the sessiot, a resolution was
submitted that DR.. Karl Liebknecht
and Rosa Luxemburg, leaders Of the
Spartacus group, be invited to attend
the congress as guests with advisory
powers. Less than 15 per cent. of the
delegates voted for the resolution.
Later while Herr Mueller, chair
man Of the workmen's section Of the
D executive committee. was speaking.
the chairman Of the congress inter-
rupted to say There Is comrade
present who wishes to submit COM
rhuntcati lion. 2 @ H &, 4 s. /. s3s3
u The newcomer announced that he
represented 260,000 workmen who
were then assembled outside the diet
building. He read q list of demands
Identical with the spartacus program.

TWO JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT
men ON STAND
Government Hopes to Com.
I plete Testimony Against
Socialists Tomorrow.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-R. A. Milroy of
agents of the department of justice,
were witnesses today at the trial of
Victor L. Berger and four other So
cialists charged with violating the es-
pionage act. District Attorney Clyne
said he hoped to complete the gov
tense will probably take week. Sew
-enty-five per cent Of the govern
ment's evidence is documenta& in
character - pamphlets and articles
printed in the American Socialist and
in Berger's paper, the Milwaukee
Leader.
\ Mr.. Clyne today read articles from
the American Socialist and from let
ters in the files of William F. Kruse,
general secretary of the Young Peo-
pies Socialist League, one of the de-
PENDANTS. The agents of the depart
ment of justice identified the docu-
ments on the witness stand.
Among the Kruse- letters were sew
eral dealing with plans for a series
of anti-war mass meetings to be held
on July 4, 1917. In one of them he
meetings are held for failure to reg
lister, but the idea of the meetings is
a good one and is approved by the
emergency committee" To another
Socialist, living in New York, he wrote
advising him in event of trouble to
appeal for help to Morris Hillquit, the
national chairman. Other letters
dealt with organization work of the
! league in Milwaukee. One epistle said !:
My only advice is to steer more to-
ward action and less toward talk in
regard to the war" To Rudolph
Bloom. Socialist in Jail at Pitts
l.burgh, Pa. in August. 1917, he wrote
II am glad to note that the fires of
revolution have not been quenched in
your soul.". -,
Dole testified that he attended big
Socialist meeting in Milwaukee July
9. 1917, where Berger was present,
and also Irwin St. John Tucker, an
other defendant. At this meeting, the
witness said, Tucker read from an ar
ticle said to have been written by the
late Cecil Rhodes, predicting that be-
| fore 1920 England, assisted by Russia
obliged to crush Germany in order to
maintain Great Britain's commercial
supremacy Dole testified that the
meeting, attended by about 1000 per-
sons, adopted resolutions demanding
that the war be stopped without delay.
Dole said that Berger knew there
were government agents present and
asked them to take seats on the plat
! form. Among the speakers he said,
were Emil Seidel, former Socialist
! mayor of Milwaukee, and Laura
Hughes. who, witness said, was intro
duced as niece of General Samuel
Hughes of Canada.

Men and Women Must Be

Says Gov. Brumbaugh.

Annapolis. Md, Dec. 17.-schools
in the future must do more to educate
both the foreign and native born
population and to train men and
women in trades, said Governor Mar
tin G. Brumbaugh Of Pennsylvania
today in an address on state educa-
tional policies before the conference
of governors here. ';%s
"The school must widen its sphere
OF service" said Governor Brum-
baugh. I'VE welcome immigrants
and we give them home and haven.
But we should insist that every I'm
migrant within five years must master
the English language or leave the
country"
Governor Brumbaugh denounced
the past practices of sending youths
to Germany for the completion. of
their university education. He urged
governors to use their influence to
raise the standards of the higher edu-
cational institutions in this country
Governor-elect Thomas E. Camp
bell of Arizona recommended that all
states enact compulsory arbitration
laws to minimize strikes and labor
disturbances He also urged enact
ment of drastic state laws against

vocates Of direct action"

WOULD PASS BILL I
AND MAKE CHANGES
AT.LATER DATE
Supports It Because It Is
Essentially a War Meas
ure, in His Estimation.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Prompt pass
age of the war revenue bill was urged
in the senate today by Senator Pen
rose Of Pennsylvania.
Senator Penrose gave his views
when the senate reached the income
tax section which provides. for reduc-
tion of rates in 1920. Chairman Sim
mons had = formally announced that
every effort would be made to reach a
final vote on the measure before the
holidays. Senator La Toilette gave
notice that he would offer a substitute
for or move for reconsideration of the
income tax section.
Senator PenroSe urged early pass
age, with a view to revision later. He
favored abolishing war excess profits
taxes and the substitution of new
system of flat income taxes.
TT is because the bill is essentially
a war measure" he said, that am
willing to support it,, although. dis
senting from the special 1920 pro-
thought by far than any previous in
ternal revenue measure in this coun-
try. 1t is more clearly and consistent
ly drafted and supplied with wiser
administrative provisions than any
other measure.
II cannot disguise the fact that I
feel anxious as to the effect upon the
public of the attempt to apply such
higher rates Of income and profits
as are provided. I am also convinced
that the great body of intelligent and
patriotic business men and taxpayers
throughout the land are willing to ac-
cept these rates. and desire the meas
ure passed.
Undoubtedly many defects will
have to be provided for by remedial
legislation in the future"
The bills rates. Senator Penrose
said, reach "the limit of endurance,
and only are entitled to support as a
war emergency"
Opposing the proposed 1920 rates
Senator Penrose said it is impossible
now to forecast the governments
needs and industrial conditions in
1920, and declared that "as a continu-
ing levy anything like the present
rates would operate strongly to re-
press and discourage American initi-
ative and enterprise"
He suggested that the bills plan OF
raising one-third of the governments
revenue requirements by taxes and
two-thirds by bonds is excessive
Pointing out that England has raised
during the war but % per cent by
taxes, and France only IA per cent, he
added: ~.
TT is evident. therefore. that this

! United States is over one third greater
as compared with England. and over
twice as large as compared to France

Washington, Dec. 17.-Samuel I'm
termyer of New York, whose name
has been mentioned in the investiga-
ton Of German propaganda, ap-
peared today before the senate inves-

described as innuendoes and implica-
tons which made it appear that pre-
vious to March. 1916, his sympathies
were pro-German.
Mr.. Untermyer declared that he had
declined, after being solicited, to act
as counsel for the German embassy
II was, Of course, always solicitous,
as were all of u.s." he said, that a
conflict be avoided and tried to do my
humble part in my infrequent meet
ing with members of the German en-
bassy toward preserving the peace by
making them feel that our hands were
not turned against them, although !
always insisted with them and they
knew that I felt deeply that they were
in the wrong.

these vague implications"

CnderStandS Conditions.
Paris, Monday, Dec. 16.-After the
conference he has had in Paris and
the personal examination he has
made into the situation here. Presi-
dent Wilson has come to understand
fully why the peace conference can.
not get under way before the first Of
the year. The mere physical propo-
sition of getting the American mis-
sion to the conference settled In. tts
offices Ia q tremendous job. $.s 4,
President Wilson'S visit to tho
American troops at the front ana his.
reNsw Of sasem in Paris thas asis
Eplanned will be entirely out OF the
way by the first Of the year. Mean
while the informal conferences which
mean so much and decide so much in
task as is before the peace conference,
will continue to make progress Tho
president is seeking to get acquainted
with the men with whom he has to
deal so that he may discuss with the
greatest freedom the problems aris-
ing and develop the value Of the per-
sonal equation.
From the presidents point Of view,
1t is indicated, there are plain things
to be said, and he wants to say them
and avoid antagonisms because, not
withstanding all the points to be
cleared up and upon which wide di-
vergences of opinion have been ex-
pressed as representing public opinion
in England and France, the president
Is confident that an acceptab BILE agree
ment will be reached before the peace
conference adjourns. 1t is recalled
that diplomatic history shows that
conferences of this usually, il not in
variably, assemble without definite
programs to work with and that such
conference probably never accom-
plished precisely, down to the last de-
tails, what is expected of it, but that
it always accomplishes something.
The Americans familiar with the Mis-
tory of diplomacy who are attending
this conference are convinced that it
will be no exception to the rule.
While things are shaping up for the
great gathering, President Wilson 10
evidently working out his own plans
He was exceedingly gratified with his
visit to Premier Clemenceau which
was largely personal affair. Tho
president told the premier some Of
his best anecdotes and it is said the
French minister formed very high
idea Of the presidents sense Of
humor.
President Wilson's health continues
good. He has completely shaken of
the cold which followed him to
Europe. With Mrs. Wilson and Rear
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, his medical
adviser. he probably will take a turn
on the golf links at Versailles the first
pleasant morning that comes along.
He is keeping in the closest touch
with affairs in the United States
through advices from the White
House. from members Of the cabinet
and the heads OF some Of the special
war bureaus. - 81
