SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS
THE CONVICTION OF DEBS

Washington. March 10.-Convictions
under the espionage act of Eugene Y.
Debs, socialist leader, and Jacob Froh
werk, a newspaper editor of Kansas
City were sustained today by the su
preme court in unanimous opinions
delivered by Justice Holmes. Both
men were sentenced by the lower
courts to ten years Imprisonment.
While not passing directly upon the
constitutionality of the act, the court
in effect did declare valid the so-called
enlistment section and reafirlned its
opinion that the espionage law is not
an interference with the constitutional
right of free speech.
Debs was convicted on three counts,
but the court passed directly on only
one of these, that charging him with
obstructing recruiting and enlistment
through statements made in speech
at Canton. o., last June. The other
two counts charged him with attempt-
ing to incite insubordination and dis
loyalty, and also with uttering Ian
guage intended to provoke and encour-
age resistance to the United States
government. In arguing the case be-
fore the supreme court however. the
government did not press the last
| charge.
FrohWerks conviction resulted from
| articles written by MN ana pubIiShed
in the Missouri Stats Ueitung. crit
| icising the United States participation
I l n the war.
| Some attorneys interpreted the fail
ure of the court to give a direct opin-
| ion as to the constitutionality of the
espionage act as indicating its inten-
ton to pass upon the merits of each
individual case considered by it.
| \ number of other espionage cases
are now before the court, while about
10 cases involving charges similar Il
those against Debs are pending in ap-
pellate courts over the country.

BLAMES GERMAN WoRkMEN
FOR ECONOMIC CRISIS

Zurich, March 10 (French Wireless
Service).-The Volksstimme, the organ
of the majority socialists in Frankfort,
takes issue with the majority of the
German newspapers that the allied
powers are all to blame for the suf-
ferings Of Germany.
The newspaper blames the German
workmen for the economic crisis now
facing the country and declares if
the Germans had been able to in
crease their production and if fac
tories had not had to stop working
through lack of coal, the surplus OF
manufactured goods would be enough
to assure the supply Of food needed
Germany.
The paper asserts that If these eco
nom!c difficulties are not overcome and
if the working class does not stop de-
stroylng the resources at its disposal,
Germanys condition will be reduced
to nothingness In Il few months"

tract for one. The other two were to
