1t was only as the difficult work OF
arranging an all but universal adjust

from day to day, from one stage of

evident TO them that what they were

make available, if they did not provide

HOUSE REFUSES
TO SEAT BERGER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Vi,tor
L. Berger, Milwaukee Socialist, was
denied his seat in the HOUSE today
by an overwhelming vote, the House
holding he was Ineligible for member
ship because OF his open opposition
to war. Consideration of the right of
Berger to seat proceeded amidst
somewhat of an uproaF in the House
chamber and with crowded galleries.
A detail Of capitol polite larded the
EFT ance of the mems gallery, Bar-
gers wife and nephew we're in the
public gallery until shortly before the
roll call, but Berger himself, after
alternating during the debate between
the chamber ard the Hobbies. left just
as the vote began.
The resolution on which the House
acted in refusing Berger a seat fol-
lows the unanimous report of the cleo
tions committee reciting his alleged
seditious utterances and disloyal ac-
tivities during the war, and said:
Resolved, That under the facts and
circumstances of this case, Victor l..
Berger is not entitled to take the oath
of Office as a representative in this
House from the Fifth Congressional
District of the State of Wisconsin or
to, hold seat therein as sach repre-.

Deadly "Earth Torpedo"

Added to the list Of interesting but
tardy war inventions Is a so-called
earth torpedo" of Canadian origin,
described by Popular Mechanics mag
azlne. 1t bores its subterranean way
toward the enemy lines, and then ex-
plodes with great force. The burrow-
ing operation is hydraulic. The nose
of the torpedo is equipped with en-
ingenious boring nozzle, and takes
with 1t length of hose, which pump
in the trench supplies with water at
a00-pound pressure. This part of the
performance is silent. In a test, the
device burrowed 200 feet and then
blasted out an excavation 20 feet

DtLBo FOR THE SENATE.

ffttfhH ats
A special has been sent out from
Jackson TO the effect that Gov
BIZ, will be- a candidate for the
United States Senate in 1922 to
succeed John Sharp Williams, against
Jas. X. Vardaman; and while in a
subsequent interview he has re-
fused to affirm or deny the report,
the general impression is that the
report will prove true.
1t is to be expected. The thing is
certain, the present governor VIII
never retire to the shades of pri-
vate life until he has taken the
count from the public and is forced
to. He has been too much of a
figure in Mississippi's political
life for him his quietus to take
from, b mere, political defeat in his
home district for congress. 1t is
to be expected that he will continue
before the people and whether he
will follow Bankheads example
g4ess and then rula for, the United
ii Alabama, he defeated fot .sson-
States Senate and be elected, re-
mains to be seen.
Another thing is certain. Bllbo's
candidacy for the Senate will be wei
coined heartily by the opposition tc
vardaman and Bilbo in this State
II win divide the Vardaman-Bilbo
faction and this is what has been
d..voutly wi;led for the past several
years. 1t will insure certainly one
or two opposing candidates, who
counting upon the Vardamar
strength being divided, will enter
the race. 1t promises a lively con
test, embittered by factionalism again
in this State.
However, 1922 is long way of
yet; and it is a little early to be
fixing political states.
