ARMIsTIcE DAYS DIFFER
A Year Ago Bennington Witnessed
Spectacular Celebrations

Armistiee day and its first anniver-
sary were different. A year ago to.
day the entire community joined in
one of the most spectacular celebra-
tions in the history of the town or OF
any other town, for that matter. All
work was suspended and the streets
We're full of impromptu parades that
broke up and reformed Every one
tried to make some kind of racket to
show his appreciation of the great
occasion. The weather was pleasant
and the entire populace was bubbling
over with enthusiasm.
Today, the first anniversary of the
great war, the weather could not have
been much worse and nearly all of the
people went about their daily busi-
ness as usual. The barber shops
closed early in the day and there
was some slight recognition includ
ing Village President j. p. Morris.

ARTICLE Y OF TREATY
MADE INNOCUOUS
Reservation Makes U. S. Sole Judge
of Where Its Soldiers Shall
Be Sent

Washington, Nov 10.-The fight
over Article 10 of the League of
Nations covenant neared a conclusion
today in the Senate with develop
ments promising adoption of a reserva-
tion wholly unacceptable to the
Administration. During the day the
reservation drafted by the Foreign
Relations Committee, almost identical
with one which President Wilson has
announced he would regard as a
rejection of the treaty, weathered all
attempts to alter it and rallied re-
peatedly a support which seemed to
insure its final acceptance. A vote
is expected tomorrow
The reservation provides that un-
der the article, which pledges men,
ber States to preserve as against
external aggression the territorial
integrity and political independence
of all other members, the United
States shall assume no obligation to
use its naval or military forces ex-
cept on express authorization of
Congress in every specific case.
The debate which summed up six
months of Senate discussion of the
subject reached a high pitch of bitter
ness several times during the day. 1t
developed another spirited clash on
the question of Ireland's status under
the article, Senator Williams (Dem)
of Missippi assailing Irish Ameri-
cans who oppose the League and
Senator Walsh (Dem) of Massachu-
setts replying in a speech charging
that the Administration had under
taken to deprive him of all Federal
patronage because he did not support
the treaty without qualification.
Attempts of Administration Senators
to modify the reservation were reject
ed AZ to So.

PUBLISHERS REOPEN
There Is Still Lack of Competent
Compositors.

New York, Nov. 11.-While many of
the large printing establishments
were enabled to resume operation
with some of their presses yesterday
as result of the return of the press
men to their jobs, it is apparent that
future work will be turned out I'M
der difficulties, because of the search
ty of feeders and compositors. The
most serious handicap will be in the
typesetting department, for, in accord
ance with the stand taken on Sunday.
when the members of Typographical
Union No. did not even consider re.
turning to work, some of the largest
printing houses are without any com
positors, and others are operating
with mere handful.
The Printers League frankly recog.
nize that the refusal of these men to
terminate their sympathetic vaca-
tons is the one big obstacle to ca
pacity production, but if the men dc
not soon return in accordance with
order of their union, the employees in
tend to call in union men from the
outside TO fill their places.

HUNTER DIES
Companions Bring Him Out of Woods
After Being Shot


Troy, Nov. 10.-Frederick Davigon,
a. companion of Oliver w. Brownell
the Trojan who died Friday in the
North Woods, following the accidental
shooting off of his left foot, returned
to Troy with the body Saturday night
andtoday told narrowing tale of the
incident. The accident happened at
Unknown Pond, about five miles from
Indian Lake Village. Mr.. Brownell
had just hung his gun on the limb of
tree and an accidental twist caused
the discharge of the piece. Mr.. Davi-
gon and three guides comprised the
remainder of the party, and they
quickly stopped the flow of blood by
means of tournquet and wove a
stretcher of branches and twigs with
which to carry the injured man to
Indian Lake Village.
The flve-mile hike through the woods
took more than eight hours to ac-
complish, and the carrying party over.
came difficulties which would appear
almost insurmountable. They forded
two rivers, waded through half mile
of beaver flow, rowed across two lakes
on which they had to break the ice
and made four carries, over which they
frequently had to cut the trail. A
physician was reached at Indian Lake
Village, but Mr. Brownell died an
hour after arriving there. He had
not been in the best of health, and the
physician said that the shock was ia
tai inNhis weakened condition.

HOUSE BY 3O9
To | REF USES To
SEAT BERGln
He Had Been Convicted Under
Espionage Act
MAKES DEFIANT SPEECH
MAKES DEFIANT SPEECH
Declares He Retracts Nothing and
Considers Government
Tyrannical

Washington, Nov 12.-Victor l..
Berger, Socialist, elected TO Congress
from the Fifth Wisconsin District, af'
ter having been convicted of violation
OF the Espionage act, was barred from
his seat in the House today by a vote
OF 500 to /. Representative Voigt
OF Wisconsin, who spoke in favor of
seating Mr.. Berger, voted in the mega
tive.
This action was taken after yio-
lent speech by Mr.. Berger in which
he denounced the Government, belit-
tied members of the House, and de-
clared that he would take back moth
ing that he had said in his speeches
and artices, which led to his conyic-
tion in Federal court.
Mr. Berger made his defiant state
ment to the House after Representa-
tive Dallinger Chairman of the spec
ial committee which had investigat-
ed the case, had denounced him as un-
worthy of place in the House and
had reviewed the utterances which
led to his conviction.
THE one and only issue in this
case is that of Americanism," said
Mr.. Dallinger. 1T is whether a man
who in 1911 took an oath as a mem
Der of the House to support the Con-
stitution of the United States and
who, when this country declared war
against the imperial German Govern
ment, became the head and front Of
an organized conspiracy to hinder, OBJ
struct, and embarrass the Govern
ment in its fight for existence, should
be admitted to membership in this
House simply because constituency
in one OF our States has seen fit to
give him plurality of its vote.
This issue is far broader than the
question of conviction for viola
tion of "a praticular statute by a court
in Chicago, an appeal from which may
be set aside by q higher court on
technical grounds, and your commit
tee is convinced upon all the facts
and upon all the precedents in this
House that Victor l.. Berger should
be excluded from membership, and
that the question should be deter
mined by the House here and now. In
our opinion the House expects it; the
men who fought for their country in
the great war expect it; the entire
country expects it."
An hour and half was allowed Mr..
Berger for his own defense. He EN-
ployed it chiefly in reaffirming his
convictions on war and Socialism.

DO IT UNDER PROTEST.

Indianapolis, Nov. 1.-THE mine
workers will comply with the federal
court mandate. }s4se
The United Mine Workers of Ameri
ca through its general committee de.
cided shortly after a. m. to obey the
mandate OF Federal District Judge An
derson, which means the recall OF the
nationwide bituminous miners strike.
Conference adjourned until 2 p. m.
Acting President Lewis said: Gem
tlemen will comply with the
courts mandate. We do it under pro-
test. We are Americans. We can.
not fight our government. That is
all"
The resembling order, not yet pre-
pared, must be submitted to the
judge at eleven and on the way to all
local, sub-district and district organi.
cations by six p. IN. The general
committee had been in session since
10 a. m, yesterday, with only brief
recesses. Speeches were at times
Iimpassioned.
The strikes recall will open the
way Immediately for the resumption of
negotiations between the miners and
operators.
1t is also understood that the ques.
tion of arbitration entered largely in.
to the decision in the final stages of
the meeting, but the miners position
on this subject was not announced.
The question of how many workers
would obey the order was problemati.
cal, early.
Judge Anderson at ten today ap-
proved the order calling off the
strike. The miners attorneys proinis
ed to try to have the order in the
mails by six o'clock. Judge Ander.
son characterized the order as a
good faith effort to comply with his
mandate.
Washington, Nov. 11.-President
Wilson probably will telegraph the
coal operators and union officials ask
ing them to get together and settle
their differences, it was said today at
the White House. Coincidentally the
President probably will renew his Of.
fer of government service toward
mediation.
Government officials received with
undisguised relief the announcement
from indianapolis through the press
dispatches and apparently were sur.
prised by the turn of events.

magnificent and useful gift that ever
came into the possession of the peo-
pie of Bennington is now generally
conceded and the community will
highly appreciate the generosity of
Mr. Putnam. The people of Benning-
ton will not only appreciate the gift
in itself but they will appreciate the

institution in which all are vitally in
terested. Following is Mr. Putnam's
letter.
Mr. A. w. Braisted,
Bennington, vt.

EMPEROR WILLIAM is
NOT TO BE EXTRADICrED
Holland VIII Not Permit Him to Be
Taken From That Country to
Be Tried

The Hague, Saturday, Nov. S.-For
mer Emperor William came to Holland
a year ago next Monday. During this
time there has been no demand official
ly or unofficially for his extradition
or delivery up to the allies, nor has
Holland at all changed its viewpoint
toward him.
The Associated Pros learned this
today from sources that are unques'
tionable Hollands viewpoint as re-
CARDS William Hohenzollern may be
stated frankly as follows: The Meth
erlands, which for centuries has ac-
corded political refuge to all, consid
ers the former emperor and crown
prince as refugees-not as royalty
but as persons entitled to the same
right as any plain Johann Schmidt
who fled to Holland during the war.
This principle is so strongly held by
the government and also by the press
of Holland that nothing is likely to
change it, 1t is asserted.
The Dutch government has made up
its mind as 10 its conduct in the event
the surrender of William Hohenzollern
is asked for. No official statement
has been made in this connection but
The Associated Press learns that Hol-
land considers the former emperor
beyond extradition as there is no pos
sible way legally to hold him as a Grim
inal, If they desired to insist on the
privilege, both the Hohenzollerns
would be free to go where they liked
as they are in no sense prisoners.
However, because they feel that they
would embarrass Holland even further
they apparently have agreed to re-
main where they now are-the father
at Amerongen and his son at Wier-
ingen.
