German Writer Likens
Ludendorff With Xerxes

Berlin, Dec. 17.-Theodore Wolff,
writing in the Tagebiatt, compares
General Ludendorff, formerly chief of
the German General staff, with Xer-
Xes, who, after the destruction of his
fleet ordered the sea to be whipped"
1t does not indicate much strength
of SOUL" he continues, when Luden-
dcrn repeatedly seeks to make the
people responsible for the revolution,
which was occasioned only by mill
tary failures. He is considerably
more unjust than Nerxes.
THE Americans whom he had ridi-
culcd came and the tanks that he had
made fun of arrived also. On June
the announcement was made to the
German people that the proud ma
noeuvre army of the Entente as such
exists no longer, and five days later
came the dissolution and complete
destruction of the Foch manoeuvre
army
Yet, all of a sudden as four years
before, the Germany army ventured
too far, the manoeuvre army was
was there. The German troops had
TO give, and in the deception which
followed so maAy lying claims, in the
bitterness at the murderous mis-
takes, and in the recognition that
with the ridiculed entry of America
Germany's fate was sealed, u four
year old courage collapsed"

Declares Degree on
Morgan by Cambridge
Is Well Deserved

London, Dec. II. - The Spectator
points out to Englishmen that the
honorary degree of doctor of laws
conferred by Cambridge University
OF j. Il. Morgan, of New York, was
extraordinarily well-deserved."
MIR. Morgan has always been a fast
friend of this country, and n hard
worker for closer Anglo-American
understanding" the Spectator con-
tinues. EARLY in 1915 his firm was
selected to act as commercial agents
for the British government in the
United States. 1t was he who con-
centrated and co-ordinated the enor-
NOUS orders for war materials. He
also acted as agent for the French
government, and by eliminating COM
petition in prices and deliveries, ne
probably saved the Allies hundreds of
millions of pounds.
1T was Mr.. Morgan again who took
the chief part in placing on the Amer
iCan market the Anglo French loan
70" G1O0,00O,000. a loan unprecedented
i'll the history of external loans by
any government. He refused to ac-
cept any remuneration for placing
this loan. His work in using British
securities to stabilize the exchange
was also invaluable.
He has done more than risk his
fortune in the cause of the Allies; he
has also risked his life. His escape
from the German assassin who twice
wounded him was a narrow one. Eng
lishmen may well rejoice in any hon
or which can give satisfaction to Mr..
Morgan"

Increase in Zeal Among Brit

Manchester, Eng, Dec. 17.-There
has been an increase in zeal among
the college students of this country
since the war, according to Viscount
Bryce. Speaking ct the University of
Manchester he said that in all the
universities, notably in oxford ana
Cambridge, the numbers of students

Referring to the duties and func-

Carney instituted the contest which
resulted in Berger's loss of his seat.
Was Renamed
Berger was the unanimous choice OF
mass meeting called hurriedly be-
cause of lack of time for taking the
usual party referendum. The Berger
meeting approved his every act,
word and writing" The platform on
which Berger seeks reelection reit-
crates many of the Socialist party
principles and declares against pro-
hihition, against the impertinent pre-
sumption of any clique or party in
the House of Representatives to die
tate whom the district is to elect as
its Representative" and against med
ding in the internal affairs of any
foreign country Russia, Germany
and Mexico"
Bodenstabs candidacy was the out
growth of a conference between rep
rcsentatives of the Republican and
Democratic county committees and n
delegation from the Good Govern
ment League.
Rodenstab also has announced that
nc is against prohibition. The nub OF
his platform is the declaration ito
keep inviolate the fundamental prin-
ciples of our government, and stand
opposed to every attempt to Berger
izc and Bolshevize this country"
Socialists Active
Prior to the primary election, the
Socialists were more active than tho
fusionists at least with regard to the
holding of meetings. Berger was
quoted in one of his speeches as hav-
ing said that he hoped the soldiers
would refuse to take the place of
striking coal miners and declared
that the former German Emperor
would not use regular troops" to in
timidate strikers. At another time
he said "if this district Is made up
entirely of horse thieves then a
horse thief is it's only true represen
tative." in arguing for his own re-
election.
Bodenstab in outlining the issue at
an organization meeting of one of the
branches of the Good Government
League, said:
TT is not true Socialism that the
Fifth district Is confronted with. 1t
i; something worse. 1t is Bolshevism.
The Socialists whom Mr.. Berger rep
resents are a group of individuals
who do nothing but stir up employees
against employer and employer
against employe. Now they are try
ing to overthrow the accepted form
af government of this country. Mr..
Berger Is trying to irritate old sores
for his own benefit"

sengers and crew of the coastal
steamship Ethie, numbering ninety
two persons, were brought ashore
on lifeline which was run to the
land from the ship by a Newfound-
land dog after their vessel piled up
on Martins Point.
Boats could not make the hazard
Gus passage from the stranded
steamer. An effort to shoot the
line ashore failed when it became
caught. Men did not dare attempt
the trip through the waters and so
the dog was put overheard.
Directed by officers of the Ethie,
the intelligent animal succeeded in
releasing the rope and holding it
tightly in his teeth, fought his way
through the breakers to the shore.
