 Berger admitted that he was opposed to the war, even after this country entered it, At the St. Louis convention of the socialist party Berger said there were only five deelgates that favored war. He admitted having voted for the anti-war proclamation of the party and of having used his paper to urge it's adoption by the membership of the party at a refer endum vote.
 He admitted that Charles E. Russell John Sparge, Wiltshire Gaylord. A. M Sl- monds and other leaders severed their connection with the socialist party after the adoption of the anti-war proclama tion at St. Louis in 1917.
 Attorney Fleming read an editoriaf by Berger in the Milwaukee Leader in whichs he demanded that every member of the party stand squarely nthe anti war platform of the socialists, or get out of the party whether he be mayor or constable. The witness said he had Mayor Hoan of Milwaukee in mind when he wrote the article and added that the socialist mayor of Milwaukee had been wobbling about on the question or the war. Berger said that finally Mayor Hoan took a definite stand on the war by approving the St. Louis platform Did you believe that Amercan-rights had been violated by the sinking ol the Lusitania?" asked the federal at- ! torney. ..,.

 Born in London in 1S40 Wormald became involved in several brawls during his early youth and his ability to beat rivals into unconsciousness with a few punches of his mighty hands caused friends to insist that he adopt airing career. Wor- maid hearkened to them and fought ms first battle against Jack Smith, known as the Wolf" in London on May 26. 1885

New York, January 2.-Selling orders from the south apparently in the nature of hedges was the feature of the day. Liverpool remained closed, so that there was no evidence as yet of the expected demand for export. In that market sev- eral committees are working out the de- tails of a new contract form for future delivery, which is the reason that no trading as yet is permitted beyond April. Our market expects sharp advance in Liverpool tomorrow based on the new business which it is thought the new year may brinR.-Hubbard Bros.

TRAPPED AGAIN

~ After Berger had testified that he was opposed to this country's going to war with Mexico. Assistant District Attorney Fleming produced a telegram which Berger had sent to the editor of New York socialist paper in March, 1916. insisting that the United States send an army into Mexico to punish Villa.
 Counsel for the government read to the jury an editorial written by Berger in the Milwaukee Leader, declaring that capitalism was only one cause of the war and that the principal cause was nationalism and class hatred.
 Berger admitted that in 1916 he favored general strike to prevent this country from entering the war. He said he was opposed to the principles of the I. w. w., despite the fact that he contributed S10 to the defense fund of the leaders of the organization when they were on trial in Chicago for- violation of the es- pionage law. He said the I. w. W. had stood the test as a class organization and was superior to the American Feeder ation of Labor.

After Saying He Was Con- servative, Berger Is Con- fronted With Signed Ar ticle Advocating the
 Use of Rifles
Rx Associated Press


 Chicago, January 2.-On crOss- examination today COngressmnn- elect Victor l.. Berger of Milwan- kee, at the trial of five socialist leaders charged with violation of the espionage law, was confronted with an article printed over his signature in the socialist demo- cratic Herald of Milwaukee July 31. 1909. in which he advised work ing men to use rifles If necessary to obtain their rights.
 On direct examination Berger had repeatedly declared that he was a con servative and constructive socialist and that he never advised the use of vio- lence. The article in question was read to the jury by Assistant District Attorney Fleming. It contained among other things. the following:
 "Every working man ought tos have good rifle, with plenty of ammunition, at home so ns to be ready when the time comes to take up the battle for his rights. I deny that any change can ever be brought about by peaceabie means. It cannot be done by the ballot alone. Workingmen must be pre- pared to back up their ballots with bullets"
 Questioned about the sentiments ex- pressed, the witness said he meant that if a majority of ballots did not get the desired results that force might bt necessary

THE EUREKA SCHOOLS
Owing To Crowded Condition of
Primary Grade New Ruling
Is Made Regarding Age
of Entrance

Since the first week of school the
Board of Trustees has been seeking
some means to relieve the crowded
condition of the first grade. Not only
vas the seating capacity taxed but
the first year class was so large that
it was impossible to give the begin
ners the attention that was required
for thorough work and proper ad-
vancement.
After some correspondence with
Superintendent Hunting it was de-
cided to change the rule for admis-
sion of beginners that has heretofore
been in force. By a ruling of the
Superintendent. Boards of Trustees
have the right to make all needful
regulations in such Trustees
may admit only such pupils that r
six years old in the first month of
the school term. And as a matter of
fact this is done in nearly all schools.
However, as the Eureka school does
not have a beginning class at the mid
year as many schools do. the Eureka
Trustees have decided to admit only
those children who are six years old
or who will be six years old before
January /. 1920. This ruling will
take effect Monday, September %.
The Board deeply regrets the neces-
sity of such action, but in justice to
the children that are legally entitled
to all school privileges it feels that
such action must be taken. 1t is the
only solution of the problem possible
at this time. 1t further trusts that
patrons of the school will appreciate
the Importance of such a decision.
On Wednesday at a special meeting
of the Student Body Association the
following officers we're elected:
Fanny Gibson. President; Robert
Lucey, ce-President; Addie Meri-
aldo, Secretary; Annie Harvey, Treas
urer; Grace Cazier. Sergeant-at-
Arms; Rosalie Davis. Reporter; Fam
ny Gibson, Editor; Estelle Rogantini,
Business Manager.
The high school pupils r becom-
ing interested in the prospects of
getting out a paper for the coming
year. If the duplicating machine
can be put in working order there
seems to be no reason to prevent the
issue of a paper three or four times
during the year. with a printed issue
at the close of the school year.
The high school pupils met this
week for the first time for physical
education.
Five new pupils we're enrolled in
the high school during the week.
Each one of the grade rooms also re-
ceived new pupils, making a total en-
rollment for both schools of 128.
