MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 12.-Victor L. Berger, elect, and oth- CTS who recently were convicted in fed era1 court, Chicago, on charges of con- spiracy and violation of the espionage law, addressed several gatherings to- night at the Auditorium and other halls, to express what Mayor D. w.

 Bergers address in the main was a protest against what he termed "chpi- talism" As to his congressional seat, he said he did not think the congress would be stupied enough to keep him out on account of his socialistic prin- ciples.
 Resolutions were adopted branding the espionage act and what the reso- lutions called the policy of persecu- tion of our antional administration, as tyranny and despotism of the worst type ever known and attempted in any civilized country
 Other resolutions pledge 'our money, time and if necessary, our lives, in their cause and our cause and the cause of human liberty" and that this strug- gle will not end until the jail doors en- tombing them shall swing open, and the cause of free speech and free press and of political and industrial freedom shall be won"

LUXEMBOURG DECLARES ITSELF 4 REPUBLIC

METZ, Saturday, Jan. 11.-(By the Associated Press. s.)-Luxemburg was proclaimed a republic on Friday, when the Grand Duchess Marie retired from the capital, taking up quarters in a chateau nearby.
 The chamber held an excited meet ing, thee lericals quitting the house in a body
 PARIS, Jan. 12.-A republic has been proclaimed in Luxemburg. Grand Duchess Marie has withdrawn to her chateau near the capital.
 For some timet there has been con- siderable agitation in Luxemburg of a republican tendency. 4 dispatch from Metz, January 10. said a large crowd had paraded in front of the palace in Luxemburg, requesting the abdication of the grand duchess and the procla- nation of a republic. Tined ispatch adds that a committee on public safety has been appointed.
 Previously advices were to the effect that the grand duchess, Marie Ade laide, had decided to leave Luxemburg owing to the unfavorable political situ- ation.
 The grand duchy of Luxemburg is bordered on the north and northeast by Rhenish Prussia, on the south by AL sace- Lorraine, and on the west by the Belgian province of Luxemburg.
 The grand duchy is presided over by the Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide, who was born in 1894. By the treaty of London of 1867, Luxemburg was de- clared neutral territory, and it's integ- rity and independence were guaran- teed. At the outbreak of the present war, however, the Germans passed through LuXemburg in their invasion of Belgium, notwithstanding the pro- tests of the grand duchess. Luxemburg has an area of 99S square miles and population of near ly 300,000.
 General Pershing lately visited Lux emburg and was cordially greeted by the grand duchess.
