OVATION IN

Chicago, Dec. 3I--A tremendous
crowd Welcomed Congressman Vic
tor Be~1ger of Milwaukee last night at
a reception rendered il his honor
here. In all address, Congressman
Berger declared his recent re-elec-
tion to congress after he had once
been denied a seat by congress, was
a vindication Of the charges that he
was a seditiOnist He asserted that
should congress again refuse to seat
him, he would be elected by an even
larger majority at a third election.
Mr.. Berger also asserted that Presl-
dent Wilson had repeated i'll Septem-
ber, 1919, what Berger had stated IN
1917, that "the war was capitalists
war; and that although Wilson was
hurrahed for his statement, he( Berg

Under the merger plan, according
to adyices received here, y number
Of the less important competitive

Under the terms of :. clause in the
Cummins bill, such mergers as the
one now in contemplation are pro-
hibited. Although this clause was in
the bill as passed by the senate, there
are few who believe it will be in
cluded III the final railroad bill as
passed by both houses of congress,
practically every one believing the
clause was inserted merely for trad

NOW
SPLIT ON
ART. 10
at Compromise Over
Americas Obligation to
Help Foreign Nations All
Meet With Failure.
{Special United Press Wire.


Washington. Dec 3l.-Differen- 8
ces over article 10 of the league of
nations covenant threatens the de-
feat of all efforts to compromise the
question, the mild reservationists
asserted. Although a half dozen sets
OF compromise proposals have been
written both BY republicans and DEM
ocrats. not one SO far has bridged
the differences on this article.
The principle difference is said
to be President Wilson and those
who agree with his construction and
proceed upon the assumption that
article 10 puts moral obligation
upon the United States TO help pre-
vent external aggression against any
member nation Of the league. Sen
ator Lodge and the mild reservation
lists decline to accept the blanket
obligations of the article.
The nearest approach to recon
Cling these views has been made by
Senator King of Utah, who draft
ed :; set of reservations which he is
now submitting to senators for COM
ment. They provide that whatever
obligation may exist shall not be-
come binding until congress so deter
mines. His reservations neither deny
I nor admit the eXistance OF the OBJ
/ legations, but gives congress the
power to decide whether there is
/ one and how it shall be met,
The mild reservationists refuse tt
accept Kings proposal and declare
it will not do. The republican reser
vationists all insist that the reser
yations must make it clear that
general obligation is not accepted.

Startling Figures in Wash
ington Papers Show Why
Men Take French Leave
From Army.

Washington, Dec. 81. $3.50 Since
March 1 over 5000 American
soldiers have deserted -- one
every 40 nlinutes--and only 700
have been located and placed UNI
der arrest. This is the startling
fact published by the Washing
ton Post. To these figures
sl,ould be added the desertions
from the navy, officially given mt
5000.
Among the reasons cited by
the Washington Post for this
state OF affairs, the following is
particularly interesting.
"a third reason, it is said, is
that some men did not like to
be forced to fight against their
own people in the United States.
Some soldiers were glad to en-
list for Siberia, to be out of the
way of such coercion of their
own relatives at home.'
Other reasons cited are the gem
eral unrest prevailing through
out the country and the fact that
no increase in pay has as yet
been advanced.
The Post fears the effects Of
these desel'tions upon the gem

estnbs;sll?nenf of this country:
