LIVING COSTS
JUMP STILL MORE

Living costs increased an Average
of Is per cent on the gulf coast, Allan
tic coast and Great Lakes 'shipbuild-
ing cities between October, 1917, and
October, 1918, the shipbuilding labor
adjustment board reports.
The increase in cost of living on the
Pacific coast, with the exception Of
Seattle, averaged 20 per cent, the re-
port says. Seattle's living costs have
been boosted only 10 per cent, accord
ing to the boards figures.
The general increase in living costs
was the basis for the establishment of
g new uniform wage scale for ship
workers which has been made public
in Washington. The increased wages
are retroactive until October 1, and
contain practically all the increase in
living costs.
Hereafter, the boards report says,
wage adjustments will be taken up
each April 1 and October 1 during the
period Of the war.

ACREE: IN
FOE. TERMS
Military Commanders viii Have
Final Say in Declaring Truce
With Enemy

The Versailles conference, accord
ing to the report current in London
Tuesday afternoon, has agreed on the
main points of the armistice terms,
which will now be considered by the
military commanders.
The final terms, it is said, will be
submitted to Germany simultaneously
with the armistice terms.
The diplomatic correspondent of the
Chronicle says it is no secret that the
interallied conference at Versailles
has discussed the terms of an armis-
tice to be granted Germany, Austria
and Turkey. Whether those terms will
be published is a matter of policy
which will be determined by the con-
ference.
Same For All
There is no reason to believe that
Austria's and Turkeys application for
an armistice, when the latter is Off
cially before the associated govern
ments, which is not yet the case, will
be treated differently from Germany's
or one granted Bulgaria.
AT WASHINGTON
Incomplete and tentative armistice
terms have been formulated by the
military advisers of the supreme war
council sitting at Versailles and
cabled to President Wilson at Wash
ington for his approval. In brief the
terms so far received are:
/. Withdrawal of Teutonic troops
from inyaded territory within a speci-
fed period, to be fixed by the allied
commanders.
2. Surrender of all ordnance and
ammunitio n for same.
8. Withdrawal of German forces
beyond the Rhine.
4. Demobilization of the Teutonic
armies, except a limited number OF
troops for policing purposes.
5. Surrender of frontier fortresses,
including Nets and Strassburg.
6. Release of all allied prisoners of
war, German prisoners of war to be
held until completion of restoration OF
devastated territories.
= 7. Surrender of a specified number
of German submarines.

SOCIALISTS ARE
INDICTED IN :.
MIlWAUy< ,of(
Victor L. Berger and Others Face
Trial as Result of Grand Jury
Action

At Milwaukee five leading Socialists,
and the Social Democratic Publishing
company were indicted by the federal
grand jury on charges growing out of
alleged obstruction of the government
in the prosecution OF the war. The
individuals are Victor L. Berger, Louis
A. Arnold, Edmund T. Melms, Oscar
Ameringer and Leo KrZycki. Miss
Elizabeth H. Thomas, president of The
Social Democratic Publishing COM
pany, was served with the Indictment
returned against the company.
Among statements attributed to
Victor l.. Berger, in Milwaukee federal
grand jury indictments, and which
are said to have been printed in The
Leader June 20, 1917, under the head
ing. "Why We Are at War" are the
following,
at is of course superfluous to
ask our government why we have
entered this war. Any student of
economics and observer of ma
tiona and international policy,
knows why we have entered this
war. These are the reasons:
"The entente allies were prac-
ticaIly at the end of their rope. IT
the United States had not entered
the war it would be over by this
time. All our capitalist papers ad-
nit this whenever it suits their
purpose. They deny it when it
does not. About $4,000, 100000 of
notes and other obligations which
the allied powers owe to Morgan,
Schwab G. Co.-to the munitions
makers and exporters of all kinds
would not have been worth 80
cents if the allies lost the war.
"IndustriaI stocks of certain
kinds commonly called war ba-
bies in Wall street, have reached
fabulous prices. Their very exist
ence depends upon the continu-
ance Of this war. The end of the
war means the end of their pros
perity. incidentally we may also
observe that there is lots of glory
and promotion to be had from this
WARRIOR officers in general-sons
of capitalists and middle classes"
Other counts are made on an
editorial, printed September 8,
1913, in The Milwaukee Leader,
stating: "There is reason for the
capitalists to rejoice. The conVic-
tion of the |. w. w. is assured
that when capitalism robs work
ers of the inaIienabIe rights spok-
en- of in the declaration of indie
pendence and drives them to des-
peration, the government can be
relied upon to step in and halt any
organized movement at retalia-
tion."
Mr.. Berger is charged with referring
TO the form of the United States gov
ernment in profane and obscene Ian
guage.

NAMES OF
BOND SLACKERS

Managers of the fourth Liberty loan
in Waupun on Friday erected large
bulletin board on which was posted
the names of all volunteer subscribers,
those who had to be solicited, those
who failed to subscribe their full al
lotment and of two citizens who re-
fused to subscribe.
TIL bulletin board, which is promi-
nently displayed in the business dis
trict, will be preserved until the sol
diers return from war SO they may
know the record of each citizen on the
war loan.
So far as is known, Waupun is the
first town in the state to publicly post
the names of persons who refused to
subscribe to the last Liberty loan.

1t may be interesting to know about
the law in such cases, whether the
county or anyone is liable. The law is
that automobile drivers must use care
at all times. The following is from a
recent decision:
The driver of every automobile in
g city knows that streets are frequent
ly torn up for the purpose or repair
ing or rebuilding them, and for the
purpose of laying water and sewer
pipes and for laying gas mains, con-
duits for carrying electric wires, and
such like, and that repairs on such
pipes, mains and conduits must be fire.
quently made, as we'll as connections
with private consumers. He further
knows that children, pedestrians, bi-
cycle and motorcycle riders, street
cars, and passengers carried by horse
power are to be found on the streets
in great numbers and frequently hud
died closely together. The driver on
a country road knows that bridges
and culverts must be rebuilt; that
highways must be repaired; that
Washouts occasionally occur; that live
stock roam about the roads unattend-
ed; that travellers on foot, on horse
back and in various kinds of vehicles
are found using the highways at all
seasons Of the year, and at all times
of the day or night. Such a driver
has no right to expect and does not
expect free and unobstructed right
of way over a well-defned track, as
does the engineer Of a locomotive or
even the mOtOrman of an electric car.
The automobile has created new
peril in the use Of our public. high
been greatly enhanced by the o
less drivers who propel such machines
with the speed Of railway trains along
crowded thoroughfare. Some rule con-
sonant with the public safety, and not
unduly harsh or restrictive upon the
users Of motor cars, must be evolved
to meet a situation which has recent
ly arisen. No case presenting a sim
liar state Of facts has been cited by
counsel.
It seems to us, and we decide, that
if the driver of an automobile, circum-
stanced as was the driver of the car
in which the plaintiff was riding, and
operating it under such conditions as
he operated his machine on the night
of the accident, is not exercising ordi-
nary care if he is driving the car at
such rate of speed that he cannot
bring it to a standstill within the dis
tance that he can plainly see objects
or distractions ahead Of him. If his
light be such that he can see objects
for only a distance of ten feet, then
he should so regulate his speed as to
be able to stop his machine within
that distance, and if he fails to do so,
and an accident results from such fail
ure, no recovery can be had.
