BERGER LOST OUT
Wisconsin Socialist Representative
Ousted From House by Vote of 800
to Says Would Do II Again
A Vacant Seat in House.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE house
kicked vivtor Berger out of Congress
and back to Wisconsin yesterday. 1t
did so, not because Berger is is an inter-
national Socialist and so boasted in
speech defiant of government and
law before his expulsion, but because
Berger warred on the United States
when United States soldiers were Civ
ing their lives for their country in
GRANGE, was found guilty BY an Amer
lean jury Of conspiracy to defeat the
governments war-making, and yet
had the effrontery to claim a right to
sit in congress and help make the
laws which he was guilty of breaking.
Seldom has the indignant voice Of
the country been expressed in so solid
and emphatic manner as fhen the
house spoke yesterday on the case Of
Berger. Three hundred and nine
members voted not to allow this man,
convicted of dishonoring the flag, now
to stand beneath it, raise his right
hand and take solemn oath to uphold
it. Out Of the entire membership,
only Representative Edward Voght
of Wisconsin voted against the over
whelming majority.
But Berger, disdainful Of the scorn
and contempt with which he was held
by the men around him, rose and pro-
claimed in defense Of his right to a
seat that the war had been unjust, the
United States ought not to have been
in it, that he only had made state
ments regarding the war while it was
in progress that were akin to those
made by President Wilson himself. be-
fore our entrance into the war, and
finally he accused his fellow Socialist
of "foolishly and slavishly obeying
the laws Of this country and declar-
ed;
Il would say and write all over
again the things for which | was
found guilty by hand-pickt jury;
only make them stronger.
A Vacant Seat in the House.
The seat to which Mr.. Berger was
elected by the people of Milwaukee
was formally declared vacant by the
house Of representatives Immediate
ly after the roll call was taken and
the clerk was advised to notify the
governor Of Wisconsin of that fact,
with the idea of having him arrange
for a new election. Joseph p. Carney,
Berger's opponent, was denied the
seat on the ground he had not received
a plurality Of the votes.

SERBIA ON FEET ONE
YEAR AFTER THE WAR

Belgrade, Nov. TO- Serbia is on its
feet again. The people have recover
ed from the immediate effects of the
war. The crops this year are excep-
tlonally good There is now plenty Of
food in the country. There is, how
ever, shortage of clothing, shoes
and fabrics Of all kinds. Farming inn
Iplements and machinery Of every va
'riety also are much needed.
The physical condition Of the peo-
pie IS excellent. In some Of the re-
|moter districts there is lack Of doc
tors and certain essential medicines,
put this need is gradually being met
py the American Red Cross physicians,
|who have established free dispense
|ries and clinics at many points.
