BERGER RIDICULES
j. S. WAR SLOGAN

NEW YORK. June s.-tnder ths
eyes OF more than 200 detectives and
agents Of the Department Of Justice
aud protected by $50 uniformed 20
licemen, the Socialist party OF New
York conducted a mass meeting yes
terday in Madison Square Garden.
There was no disorder.
The principal speaker was VIZ
ccnsin's unseated Congressional rep
resentative. Victor Berger. out on
bail pending the result Of his appeal
| from the sentence by Federal Judge
/ X. NJ. lands OF the twenty years i'm
| prisonment for violations OF the es-
pionage act.

/ Others were Municipal Court Judge
Jacob Panken; Charles W. Ervfne,
editor Of the New York Call. and Al
| bert Rhys Williams, author OF several
sympathetic pamphlets about Bblshe-
'vism that have been published BY the
Rand School
! Berger was cheered when he said:
ITO our ruling class. capitalism and
Americanism mean the same thing.
and patriotism and prohts mean the
same thing. That Is the reason why
the greatest proflteers are invariably
the greatest patrioteers-
You know that during the WaR
most Of these gentlemen in the fore
noon were dollaF-a-yeer patriots, in
which capacity they handed ont cen
tracts to their firms. In the after
noon in their capacity as bushes
men they filled these contractA 30
much for the patriots.
The Socialists understood AZ Ghe
outbreak OF the war what everybody
understands noW-namely, that this
war in the main was a struggle be-
tween the ruling class Of England
and the ruling class Of Germany for
the control of the worlds trade-and
the ruling class OF our country, being
Closely allied by ties Of blood and
business with the ruling class OF Eng
land, naturally sided with England
from the very first day the world war
commenced in 1914.
SRest HypOeFiSy and Humb1S
"All the rest was hypocrisy and
hunbug And one Of the biggest hum
bugs and most contemplate lies q
the phrase that this war was fought
to make the world safe for demoe-
racy.'"
Al Chls point MT. berger was dB9a4
interrupted by cheers.
Nobody thought OF that phrase IA
1914. at the beginning OF. the World
war" he continued, and nobody
thinks of it now, when il is ended, II
was simply used to create enthusiasm
two and three years ago among gull
lible Americans"
Referring to the trial and convte-
ton OF himself and four other lead
ers of the Socialist party. Mr.. Berger
said:
The i've men found guilty BY the
jury in Chicago were to be sent to
prison on account Of an alleged con-
spiracy to interfere with the armed
forces Of the United States-at least
the indictment said so.
I'VE were found guilty because the
capitalist class fears socialism and
wants to make use OF war hysteria to
put the Socialist party out Of bust-
ness"

The R-34 Is not yet ready to sail

four days flight
The crew will consist Of between
twenty-five and thirty men. including
General Maitland, Of the air ministry,

Everybody aboard will have some

R-34 almost TO Greenland. from 500

The R-34 will absolutely not make
any landing in America except at At

women VOTERS TO

NEW YORK. June, e-PoIiticians
who hope to capture the woman vote
In the next general election win have
to OFFER something more tempting
than the streak O. fat streak o. lean
lure Of party alignment The women
behind the ballot will demand a vital
issue with an immediate, concrete
bearing upon the general welfare,

This, Mrs. Percy Pennybacker. for
mer president Of the National Fede-
ration Of Women's Clubs and member
for Texas Of the Associate National
Committee Of the National Democratic
Committee, says is the gist of the
counsel given to leaders Of the Demo
cratic party at get-together meet
ing in Chicago for the purpose OF
breaking track for the 1920 campaign.
Mrs. Pennybacker asserted that the
woman's vote would remain for a
considerable time an independent
party that offered the most practical
and direct solution Of the many prob
lens that confront the nation
moral Issue q Magnet
, Not the tariff, but q great moral
issue would be the magnet to attract
the women's vote. They did not pre-
sumo to dictate what this issue
would be. she said. The women of
the country, she thought. might not
know what they wanted now, but
they would recognize il when they
saw it.
There are thousands Of women
who cannot be organized along party
lines" she asserted. Those are the
women who will decide the next cleo
tiOn-and women will decide it.
Those are the women who must be
considered
Mrs. Pennybacker said the chief
thing that impressed her about the
Chicago conference, where women
were welcomed into the inner sanctu-
airy Of party organization for the
first time, was the warmth OF the
welcome.
Democrats Made Mistakes.
The party leaders declared we were
a revelation to them" she said. 1.-THE
grasp Of affairs, the capacity for de-
tail, the humOr, earnestness and help
fulness OF the women amazed them"
Mrs. Pennybacker said frankly that
the Democratic party had made a
mistake in falling to pass the Federal
amendment, but denied she had
scoIded the committee for It. 'T be-
lieve honesty is the best policy" she
said. THE Democratic party failed
to gauge the force OF the woman
movement, but that is ancient history
and they are not going to make a
second mistake in regard to women.

APART
FROM ALLIES
POWDERED BY
SENATEG.O.P.

Republican leaders in the Senate
are giving serious thought to the
possibilities of a separate peace be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
Though none Of them would voice
his views today for publication, 1t
can be stated that thew are fully
aware that one result Of Senate op-
position to the league of nations
covenant and the treaty may be a
separate peace.
They foresee an attempt to create
a "race" between certain allied ma
tons and the Senate to ratifv the
treaty, which specifically provides
that it shall become valid when rah-
fed by three Of the allied or associ-
ated powers. That is, if England,
France, and Italy-au bound not to
make separate peace-should ratify
the treaty before the Senate does, it
would end the war so far as those
nations are concerned and allow
them at once to resume commercial
relations with GERMANY.
Would Leave q. S. In Cold.
The United States, however, as the
Senators view it would be left out
in the cold, with a state Of war with
Germany still in existence, and the
other nations given a head start on
resumption Of business dealings.
That this possibility will be en-
phasized 10 the Senate, Republican
Senators have no doubt They are
not disturbed by it, however, declar-
ing they see no calamity in it
Congress declared war on Germany
and can quite as easily declare the
war ended, in these Senator'S opin-
ions. Then by a separate treaty of
amity and commerce, relations could
be resumed
Free of EntanEIemenfH.
The great advantage'of this course,
as Senators see it is that 1t would
leave the United States free Of en-
tangling European alliances. Since
the United States does net share, and
has no desire TO share, in the terri
torial or money gains of the allies,
= there is no reason, in the belief Of
some Republicans, why q treaty set
Ting just Americas quarrel with
Germany should not be drawn up.
This course would defeat the
League Of Nations, unless the Senate,
voting on IL separately from the
treaty now being completed, should
agree 70 join the allies in forming it,
Whether they are willing to 90 to
this length to defeat the league these
time TO say, though they are all
hostile to the league II they should
adopt this course, il was pointed out,
a hlibuster until three other powers
have ratified the treaty would be all
that would be needed

GERMAN WOMEN
SMUGGLE FOOD

COLOGNE, June s.-Though IT -
common knowledge that strict orders
have been issued by the British au-
thorities in Germany against food
stUffs and other contraband being
conveyed from the occupied to the
unoccupied zone, few people have any
idea of the enormous amount Of
smuggling which has been carried on
by civilians since the British army
has been in occupation of the Rhine
land, and Of the extraordinary meth
DDS and devices to which the Germans
have resorted, says a copyrighted
dispatch to the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
1t was only by chance that the for
hidden traffic was discovered. one
day a keen Jock" sentry at one Of
the control posts on the frontier no
ticed a woman Of abnormal proper
tions walking past his post. The SEN
try couldn't understand it and he
wasn't going to allow the woman 10
pass until he did. He prodded her
with his finger and made the discov-
cry that the size OF her body was due,
not to an excess of clothing, but a.
a quantity of butter concealed undei-
meath
Special ORieeT Posted.
From that day war on the snug
glers began Special controls were
posted on all railway stations, tram
way stations and roads passing
through the frontier, all vehicles and
men were searched, and a great deal
of stun was recovered by these
methods.
The weakness IN the system Of
search was that it was quite impossi-
BILE to deal with the women. This
was at once seized upon and men
gave up trying to run the blockade
themselves and handed over" to their
wives and daughters, loading them
in some cases like pack mules. This
was, Of course, soon
and TO meet II a party of
women searchers Of the Q. NJ. A. A.
Corps was brought out fro mEngland
as an experiment. These English
women all spoke German fiuentIy,
they entered into their work with
great zest, and il was soon evident
that they were q great acquisition to
the anti-smuggling campaign.
Highly Organized.
Eventually the traffic became 90
highly organized that the existing
system Of controls was found to be
insufficient An inventive brain then
evolved the idea Of a flying column"
Of men and women searchers to swoop
down Unexpectedly upon railway sta
tions, holding up trains bound for
the neutral zone, and systematically
searching every man, woman and
child, as well as all parts Of the
train itself. Each searcher is told off
to a particular job and as little de-
lay as possible caused; the men are
bundled out on TO the platform and
searched by the soldiers, while the
women are searched in the compart-
ments by the members of the Q. NJ
A A c.
By this method the circus" has
been responsible for the recovery Of
an enormous quantity Of contraband
and, more important still, has had
the effect Of demoralizing the snug
glers. The members OF the . II. A
A c. are entitled TO a large share
Of the credit for the success Of the
campaign, for without their help the
difficulty Of the women smugglers
would have remained unsolyd
