WILSON REAL RULER,
SAYS PARIS WRITER
Gustav Herve Contrasts Amer
lean and French Legisla-
tive Systems.
Sparta! Cdhl, Despatch 10 THE sUS.
CopKriahf. 1915: oil riohra rsSerr.d.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-In q leading article
In La Victoire Gustav Herve. the pub
liclst. who since the beginning OF the
war has abstained scrupulously from
stitutions, hints at the need of modify
ing the French legislative and eXecu-
tive functions.
He uses President Wilson's contro-
versy with Congress and It's outcome
as a peg on which to hang his argu-
ments. He sees in II the triumph of
what no calls the ideal system OF
government, in which the executive
power Is not usurped by the legisla-
tive. as is the case in France. He
adds:
IN America the President OF the
Republic Is lifted above Parliament by
the will OF the nation. No legislator
po sesses the means OF overthrowing
him and taking his place and those
of his Ministers. Parliament is only
his collaborators, his adviser"
Herve calls attention to the cordial
ity OF tone and the spirit OF coopera-
ton with which he addressed Con-
gress Monday and compares 1t with the
attitude toward the Legislature which
the French Premier is forced to adopt
an attitude OF fear for the safety
of his Cabinet, thus obligine the Pre-
mior to resort to intrigues and maneu-
vres against the creation OF influential!
combinations seeking power.
Herve makes clear that the Presi-
ornamental officer but a real chief.
and concludes by saying that Presl-
dent Wilson's voyage to France will
be successful II 1t serves only to show
the French the differences between
the two republics and aids the French
people TO understand that "a republic
is not necessarily tumultuous as
sembly of legislators"

RIVAL WILL OPPOSE
SEATING OF BERGER
j. P. Carney Files Notice of
Contest Against Socialist
Congressman elect.
Special Despotch 10 THu sur.

MILWAUKEE. Dec. 4-More trouble
started to-day for Victor L. Berger
Wisconsin's Socialist Congressman
elect. In a contest OF his seat in Con-
sress. He was indicted yesterday in
La Crosse, for pro- German utterances
In his Socialist daily newspaper. which
is barred from the mails.
This action followed two similar in
dictments on similar charges in the
Chicago and Milwaukee Federal courts
Joseph p. Carney, Democrat, who ran
second In the Congressional election In
Berger's district, will contest the seat
ing Of Berger in the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
Formal notice OF the contest waa
served on Mr.. Berger to-day and the
case will be taken to Congress for final
decision. Friends OF mfr. Carney be-
lieve that in the event Berger is not
seated Congress may seat the runner
up rather than cali a special election.
The formal notice contesting Mr.
Berger's seat deals extensively with
editorial comment in Berger's paper
The notice presents parts of an inter-
view with Berger In the latter's own
paper in which It Is alleged the Con-
gressman-elect said: THE forces OF
capitalism which have led on the war In
Europe are even more hideously trans
parent in the war recently provoked
by the ruling class OF this country.
Our entrance into tho European war
was instigated by the predatory CAPT.
talists In the United States. The war
OF the United States against Germany
cannot be justified even on the plea
that II Is q war in defence OF Ameri-
can rights or American honor.
The American people have been
plunged into this war by the trickery
and treachery OF the ruling class of
the country and through its represen-
tatives in the national Administration
and the national Congress"

TROOPS TO RETURN

Battle Fleet VIII Be Used for

PARIS, Dec. 4.-The ten American
dreadnoughts which will escort Presi-
dent Wilson into French waters, will
turn about Immediately after their ar
rival to carry homeward a large party
OF American soldiers and sailors. The
trip will be SO timed that the men will
arrive at a home port by Christmas.
The fleet will reach Brest about
December II, and 1t will probably be
possible to complete the work of coal
ing and provisioning the ships and
embarhing the troops within three or
four days. Vice-Admiral Wilson at
Brest is making arrangements for
the movement and determining the
transport capacity Of each battleship.
A large number OF folding steel beds
will be mounted between decks, thus
making the aggregate capacity Of the
battleship fleet many thousands Of
men.

this question taken from the sphere
OF reality and put upon a plane OF

Il am rather surprised to see the
Presidents statement that our men
have been fighting and dying in the
full consciousness that they were
striving to translate into action the
Presidents fourteen points. I have
never met an American fighting man
who ever knew what these fourteen
points were and may add that in all
my experience abroad I have never
even heard these points mentioned ex.

diplomats who admitted they really

there has been one common thought In

addressed to the Huns and the authors
OF these crimes with the motto, You

THE Germans responsible for the
sinking OF the Lusitania, the German
officer responsible for firing on life

opinion of our men, not the type TO be
left to their own conscience. As
means of preventing future wars of
this character there is a very general
opinion that stern. swift and decisive
justice would be of more real practi-
cal value than anything else. I am
told that some of the German crimes
have been 80 revolving. even to Ger

That America Apply Give
and Take Principle.

LONDON. Dec. 4.-Presid ent Wilson's
address to the American Congress was
extensively commented upon by to-
days newspapers.
The Morning Post, while paying
tribute in the warmest terms to the
President, and to American cooperation
in the war insists upon the I'M
portance OF the exact relation Of the
fourteen points to the peace settlement
being understood. 1t thinks tho points
were accepted too hastily by the allied
Governments. 1t relies. however, upon
the Presidents definition OF them as

ment with which to begin the work

phcation.
Menace Seen in situation.
The Daily NetCs asks anxiously for
evidences OF the acceptance OF the

OF which was accepted, with one ex-
ception, by the Allies. and deplores

cred or worthy reference to the su-
preme issue before the world" in the

cuses Premier Lloyd George Of ap-

are the statesmen who are backing not
the letter but the spirit OF President
Wilson's policy? The situation is full
OF menace. II It is to be redeemed It
must be by the peoples of every coun-
try. The liberal movement OF the
world must organize against the forces
which everywhere are consolidating to
rob humanity OF the fruits OF Its sac
rifices and restore the old war ridden
world on a scale hitherto unimag1ned."
American Concessions Urged.
The Times, dwelling again with en-
phssis upon the great desire which It
asserts the Allies feel to have Presi-
dent Wilson's personal counsel in the
and application OF the
basis Of peace, says that II the hope OF
framing a treaty by spring is TO be
