and abusive language toward her hus- band, and that on many occasions in the presence of his own children and strangers she has called him a crook, grafter, drunkard. besides using filthy epithets and names. On many occas- ions she has refused to prepare meals for him.
 The mayor also accuses his wife of writing him letters signed with ficti- tious names in which she accuses him of almost everything nasty. During his last campaign in which he was elected mayor of Stamford, the plain tiff alleges that his wife used her in fiuence with friends and the general public in an effort to defeat his cleo tion. She is accused of giving de- famatory information to the Stamford newspapers and when printed would mail the clippings to the mayor s mother and other friends.
 The husband alleges that his wife has done nothing to promote his con- fort and has refused to mend his clothes, prepare his meals and has neglected to perform other wifely duties for the past two years.

of large indemnities to unemployed persons and by suspending action on all questions vital to the future of the nation. Unemployed men in Ser lin are paid eight marks a day, while railway workers and street cleaners get only six marks daily. Consequently, the men prefer to re- main idle.
 Plays so immoral that they would have been prohibited under the i'm peria1 regime now are tolerated; 1; thieving is prevalent; footing is com mon and the general public morale is very low, pr. Taylor remarks. He says the food situation is critical. and that in spite of the great reduction made in rations the nation cannot live un- til next harvest unless supplied by outside powers. The death rate has increased, especially among children between five and IS years of age, children under two years faring bet ter than the rest through the self sacrifice of their mothers. Lack of fuel and raw materials has closed vir- tually all industries and the railroads are hampered because they have little coal. Labor conditions are so bad at 1 the coal mines that there is little prospect of an increase in the fuel output.

Wife Threw Alarm Clock
 Injuring Husband Severely

Action in the petition for divorce filed some weeks ago has been delay ed pending the filing of a more spe- cifc statement alleging cruelty in the suit Instituted by John J. Treat, mayor of Stamford, against his wife, Mary A. Treat.
 The husband has now complied with the request of defendant and has lodged with the clerk of the superior court along with other papers in the case, a detailed statement in which are numerated specific acts of cruelty performed by his wife.
 The plaintiff alleges that on many occasions his wife threw things at him. These missiles consisted of plates, dishes, table knives and on one occasion the wife threw an alarm clock at MT. Treat striking him in the side and severely injuring him. On another occasion the wife drove the husband from the house late at night at the point of a butcher knife and threatened to cut him up if he ever returned.
 The statement also alleges that the wife for many years has used profane

BERGER NOW
 AT LIBERTY
Judge Alschuler Granted Bail in the Sum of $25,OOO
 For Each Man.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Victor L. Der ger, Socialist congresman-eIect, of Milwaukee. and his four co o-defendants are at liberty today, following the grant of a writ of supersedeas of sentence to 20 years imprisonment for violation of the espionage act had been pronounced by Federal Judge K. M. Landis. This acts as a stay pending appeal to a higher court.
 Those sentenced with Berger are .Adolph Germer, secretary of the Ma tionaI Socialist party: J. Louis Eng dahl, editor of the American Socialist; Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker. lecturer and writer. and William r. Kruse, head of the Young Peoples Socialist league After the granting of a petition for The writ by Judge AIschuler counsel ;lor the men went before Judge sam uel r. Alschuler in the Court of Ap- peals and asked for bail. This was granted in the sum of $250O for each of the two counts of the indict- lncnt under which each man was con- vlcted.
 The five men were held in Judge Alsch ulors court room until midnight before bail was obtained. Before granting the writ Judge AIschulel questioned each of the convicted mer and received promises from each thai he would conduct himself within the law pending hearing of further pro. ccedings.

Count von Bernstorff is in charge of American affairs at the foreign of fee, and the bureaucrats of the old school are in evidence everyyhere,' he added. '"The Germans are becom- ing Russianized. They are afraid to put untried men into the service, and consequently they tolerate the old or der of things
 German propagandists, Dr. Taylor found, favor the League of Nations and are filling the newspapers with articles saying President Wilson's doc trines should be considered as having become effective on the day the ar mistice was signed and should have been interpreted as leaving Alsace and Lorraine in German hands.
 The German army has apparently been disorganized and demobi1ized for the most part, Dr. Taylor says but he believes 1t will be possible for the bureaucracy to restore 1nilitarism if 1t is deemed desirable. Many Ger mans believe they will recover their battleshiIss and merchant fleet and do not expect to give up any territory, and, in Dr. TayIor's opinion, a grave political Inphea,val is probable with the signing of the treaty of peace.
 The present Iuil is regarded as un- natural by Dr. Taylor, who says 1t was possibly created by the payment

Back in his home town after having been given up for dead on the battle fields of France and with only a slight limp to show the narrowing ex- periences he went through on the Soissons and Santigny fronts, Private Thomas J. Smith of 1414 Pembroke street registered with the ''Welcome Home Committee at City Hall today
 The Bridgeport soldier was thrice wounded while serving with the American Expeditionary Forces and of the IS months that have elapsed since his enlistment on November !, 1917. seven of them were spent in hospitals.
 Private Smith was member of Company E, 18th regular infantry and fought at Santigny, Sotssons and in Asa ace-Lorraine.
 At Soissons Private Smith came into contact with shrapnel. and as the re- suit of an explosion, p fragments en- tered his abdomen. Some pieces of the lead still remain in his thigh. While laying on the battlefield, suf- fering from these wounds, the Hun attacked the American forces with mustard gas. and the seriously injur- ed boy received a full dose of this Practically every hair on his head was burned off, and it has not entirely grown back He was taken to a hos pitaI where he lay for four weeks. and then returned to the front.

Paris, Feb. 21.---''The customary calls of the neutrals is at present far from easy" said King Alfonso of Spain in an interview published to- day in the Petit Journal. ''It seems Ito me- continued the King, that the victorious countries are more inclined to remember the actions they consider unfriendly than the help they had from Us but that is human.
 With what are we in Spain re- preached? We are made responsible for the propaganda that g, belligerent nation carried on here, but the con stitutional guarantees were not sus- Ipended. There were people of all na- tioralities here, and I fail to see how Spain could be made to answer for acts to which she was not a party

Alfonso Feels ViCtOrs
 Forget Help Rendered

Speaking of the anco-Spanish re-
 lations during the war King Alfonso
 said:
 If France attributed good inten- tions to me they were also intentions of my people. One is the reflection of the other. I am the king, certainly, but the most constitutional of kings. tCf all the kings still standing in E>u-
 rope I am of the latest creation The English family is of the seventeenth century and Belgium of 1892. I sprin g from a monarchiaI revolution and my new contract with the people is younger than the republics. I am of
 0 date scarcely 42 years back. The greatest liberty reigns in the king dom under this absolutely free regime and the king and the people are one.'

NOT TO DISCUSS LEAGUE PLAN To Keep President From Making Addresses on
 Subject.

Washington, Feb. 21-A resolution designed to prevent President Wilson from discussing publicly the propos- ed League of Nations until he has communicated details of the plan to the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee, was introduced today by Senator sherman of Illinois, Repub ican. Consideration of the resolu- ton went over under the rules.
 The resolution declares that to dis cuss the plan and the proposed con- stitution before submitting the de- tails to the senate would be unwise undiplomatic and calculated to pro- mote discord "between the govern ment's two treaty. making powers and calls upon the President to pre- serve an unbiased and impartia mind" until he has discussed the matter with the senate.
