State Guard and Court
Clash in Speeding Case

A conflict between civil and military
authority relative to New York speed
regulations developed Yesterday in the
Traffic Court. Magistrate Bruce Cobb
fined young motorcyclist of the 1st
Artillery, New York State Guard, SOC
as a second offender. The militiaman
pleaded that he was acting under or
ders, and Major Robinson Lcech. who
appeared as counsel for him, served
notice that he would appeal on the
ground that civil courts had no juris-
dlctlon IN such cases.
The defendant. Vernon Madden, of
III Second Avenue, is private of the
lst Artillery. His commanding officer,
Captain Reginald Knickerbocker. was
IN the side car Of his motorcycle wher
the private was arrested, on the NIGHT
CT December 10, and assumed RESPONSE
bility for orders to Madden to "hurry
up Madden declared that if he had
not obeyed these orders he would have
been subject to court martial Major
Lecch argued that in such cases the
rule of military necessity transcen led
jurisdiction of civil tribunal.
Magistrate Cobb held, however, that
on this particular occasion both Mad
den and his officer were on routine
drill night duty and not on q duty or
dered by the Governor in connection
with instruction, tumult, riot or dis
order. and therefore the authority of
the civil courts was paramount

self, but instead of confirming it to its
original status we broadened it to take
IN ali Europe. And now the Alliec
conference already confesses itself UNI
acle TO restore peace in a single coun-
try and is not even attempting it.
Russia, exhausted by her trcmen-
dous efforts in the Allied cause. was
like great blinded, PROSTATE giant
an easy prey to the disinte grating in
1luences emanating not only from Ger
many but IN individual cases, like the
poisonous IrotZky. even from America
The Bolshevik leaders are mostly Grim
mails and fanatics. SO are their fol-
lowers. And they form ruthless band
OF robbers and murderers on such a
gigantic scale as should strike terror
to the whole world
with arms in their possession they
took from all patriotic Russians every
weapon of defence, leaving US only our
bare hands to fight with.
ut is the greatest mistake to think
that all governments in Russia arc sep
a|atist and DESTROYS Of individual ex-
lstencc. On the contrary, they are not
seeking union now as the only way to
survive, but all desire a united Russia.
Division of Factions
"Sazonov represents 4O,000,O0O Rus
slams; the people of Siberia, the Don
Caucasus and the Crimea all have
placed their fortunes in his hands.
The wise gentlemen who sit at the
QUA d'Orsay, after few hours of
discussion, lightly decide the fate Of
le0,000,00O Russians, without even
listening to Sazonov. Prince Lvoff, or a
single Russian. Yet they wish to go
to Princes Island to listen to the
Bolshevik leaders who represent not
even small minority of the Russian
people. but only tyranny and anarchy.
Il have rot yet discussed this new
situation with the Russian leaders here,
but feel sure that they will refuse
to sit at the same table with the
murderers and compromise with JUS
tice and humanity.
"Bolshevism existed at first only in
old Russia. 1t spread to the Ukraine
after the Germans left. For economic
reasons alone the Allies should save
Ukrainia, so that in the spring the
peasants may safely plant their crops
in this richest section of Russia.

Belgium Stripped
of ALI Machinery
BY German Looters
Extent of Damage Is Still
Undetermined; Money or
New Supplies Is Question
Up to Peace Conference

BRUSSELS. Dec. 13.-Thus far it
has been impossible to estimate the
extent of damage caused in Belgium
by the Germans or to fix, even approx
lmately, the amount of indemnity
which Belgium will demand from Ger
many.
In the majority of the factories
which the Belgians were allowed to
operate during German occupation the
plant remains, but everywhere all
stocks of raw material have been en-
tirely removed
In the other factories. which the
Belgians were not allowed to operate.
there was a systematic removal of all
the machinery, which was dismantled
and sent to Germany The names Of
the German manufacturers to whom
the machinery was shipped have been
ascertained.
Stole Belgian Coal
Belgian industrial circles seem to be
divided whether to attempt to recover
the stolen machinery from Germany,
now necessarily worn, or to buy new
machines abroad and to make the Ger
mans pay for it.
The Belgian coal fields in the regions
of Mons, Charleroi and Liege were
operated by the Germans, who used
Belgian coal as currency to obtain
from Holland provisions, cattle and
horses. Thus, while the Belgian pop
ulation suffered from cold, coal rose in
price to 400 or 500 francs ton
and Belgians witnessed the spectacle
of workmen weakened by privations
forced to drag heavy carts loaded with
coal, taking the place of the horses
which the Germans had stolen.
The industrial region of Charleroi
suffered severely at the hands of the
Germans, who destroyed the machines
which they did not take away and re-
not makeUse. A great amount of work
will be necessary to clear up the
wrecNage, and even if the stolen ma
chinery or it's equivalent is obtained
it will be impossible to resume pro-
duction before the middle Of next year.
Steel Plants Destroyed
Nothing now remains of the estab-
lishment. Thy-le Chateau, which an
nually turned out about 100000 tons of
steel Sixty coke furnaces, four blast
furnaces, four twenty-ton converters
and six sets of fattening machines
have been destroyed or sent beyond the
Rhine.
Some of the steam engines were
blown up and blast furnaces were de
stroyed by cutting down the support
ing columns. The damage there amounts
to several millions of francs.
1t would be easier to enumerate
what the Germans have left than to
describe the ruin they have caused.

Health Insurance Is
Seen AS a Bulwark
Against Red Terror
Senator Davenport Says In
dustries of State Will
React Favorably to His
Bill; Backed by Women

STAFF Correspondence
ALBANY. Jan. Ex-senator Fred
erick M. Davenport, of Oneida, Pro-
gressive oarty candidate for Governor
IN 1914, declared to-day that the health
insurance bill which he introduced last
week was not only practical, but that
the industry of the state would react
favorably to it.
Its cost to the state would be COM
paratively small, he said, and the enact
ment Of it and similar measures would
be prophylactics against Bolshevlsm.
The measure, which has the backing
of four Of the biggest women's organ-
cations in the state, as we'll as The
state Federation of Labor is oppos ed
largely by employers Of labor and lead
ing members Of the medical profession
1t not only provides all the industrial
workers insured under its provisions
with necessary treatment in the event
OF illness, but dental work and mater
nifty benefits for women workers and
the wives OF those insured under the
PROVISIONS Of the proposed law. The
funds are sustaining, employees
contributing , per cent of their weekly
earnings, but not more than "a cents,
and employers are assessed like sum,
excepting in cases where the employees
receive less than $12 week. In such
case the employees contribute but
per cent of their earnings and the en-
ployer 9 per cent. While sick the
workers receive SO weekly for period
not to exceed twcnty-siX weeks
May Be Optional Measure
1t is not unlikely that the bill, if it
becomes a law at this session, will be
made optional, as was the case when
the workmens compensation act was
first put on the books.
"The workmen's compensation act
was much opposed in certain quarters
said Senator Davenport. "Now nobody
would go back to the old ways. The
next logical step is the health insur-
ances of workers of the commonwealth
The experience with the draft indicat-
ed a dangerous condition of physical
effectiveness in this and other states
Besides, it has long been evident that
the chief cause of poverty is illness
We are anxious in America to do all
that we wisely can to relieve industrial
workers from unhappiness, despair and
fear. Sickness among industrial work
ers and their families is probably the
greatest single existing cause of pow
erty, discomfort and despair. The
health insurance of industrial work
eI7 is, therefore, an important bulwark
against Bolshevistic tendencies in this
country.
of these forward steps are taken
cautiously, without burdensome addi-
tional overhead upon the industry OF
the state, the industry of the state will
react favorably to it. A state with at
tractive health insurance ought to be
very attractive place for workers, anc
it would be possible for employers tc
obtain the very pick of labor and plenty
of it.

Is Wasteful to Industry

"Moreover, unsupervised illness in
any industry is very wasteful to the
industry, causing much trouble and
dislocation in industrial plants. There
would be very much less of this under
the supervised health plan of this bill
at is in line with the impulse of
American intelligence and conscience
