Some make their money by muscle

While others get rich with their
souls as, the pawn.
Many there be who daily sit grieving.

Fate deals with some in a way quito

BRITISH IN FAVOR OF
 LEAGUE 0F NATIONS
PRESIDENT WILSON'S VISIT HAS HAD MARKED EFFECT ON THE
 BRITISH STATESMEN.

Paris, Jan. 9.-The view is now held in American official headquar- ters that the attitude of the British
 eaders shows such coordination with the American viewpoint as will ia cilitate a mutual agreement before the peace congress. After the close of tho recent conferences and the public demonstrations attending President Wilson's visit to London. one of the foremost British states Ten summed up the situation by say ing:
 T would not think of having the peace congress close imtil it had es- abolished q league of nations as out lined by President Wilson, as the British nation has clearly shown that it expects that to be done.'
 Mir Balfour, the British foreign sec retarY after his conferences nere. has proceeded to Cannes where he will remain until the middle of next week.
 He and Premier Llcyd George will be in Paris on the return of President Wilson from Italy. It is then that the real work of inter-allied confer ences will begin. This will not be by any formal meeting around the table at the outset. as comparatively few delegates will be in Paris at thar time. But the informal conferences will De progressively important from then on as the informal conferences will merge into the formal inter allied conference, and that will grad ually merse into the peace congress, without any exact deimitation of dates
 1t is understood that a special com nittee will be de5igated to form a plan for society of nations on wnic.i the French member will probably be Leon Bouegrois, and the English member Lord Robert Cecil, both of whom are belieevd to have their prof ects well along toward completion.

The original estimates for the bat. tleships Colorado, Maryland. Wash. lngton and West Virginia, on which construction has been started" Ad. miral Taylor said, was st1 ,5o9 o00 It is doubtful if they can be complct. ed for less than $l5.550.O00. 'lf there has been an increase of Sl5O,cooc00 over the estimated cost Of the 1916 three year program, what Will the increase be in the three year program just recommended by secre- tary Daniels?' asked Representative Butler of Pennsylvania.
 The cost is estimated at 5000 .G0G- 000, but the estimates for the ,ndl. Vidual ships are not much larger than for those made in the 1916 program. Surely they cannot be made any cheaper thaa those being constructed now
 Admira! Taylor replied that there may be large reductions iu the cest of construction before the program is started The 1916 program will not be completed until 1923, ne said. and the new program cannot be put into full swing before the present one is ont of the way Contracts for all ships authorized in the 1916 program have been let except for two battle ships, twelve torpedo boat destrovers. nine submarines and five auxiliary vessels, the witness said. Of all the vessels authorized in 1916. the battle criuaers will be completed last.
 Secretary Daniels, who preceded Admiral Taylor, said electrically driven machinery will give future American battleships and battle cruls- CTS a superiority over the other na- lions of the world. Mir. Daniels de scribed at length the results obtained ir trials of the new super dread nought New Mexico, ;he first battle sh.p in the world to be equipped with the electric drive.
 Nr. Daniels said that all capital ships here constructed for the navy, including the ten super dreadnoughts and six battle cruisers in the new pro gram authorized in 1916, will have electrically driven machinery. Tests Of the New Mexico he declared, have demonstr that such engines can 9e operated more economically than any others and that a chip driven by them can run at top speed as long as it's fuel lasts

Washington, Jan 2.-War condi. items have brought about an cnor. ncus increase in tGc cost of building werships, Rear Admiral Taylor. chief of the bureau of construction and re. pair. told the house naval committee today in discussing the 1920 naval appropriation bin He estimated that the hulls and machinery of the ten hattlcsh.ps and six battle cruisers authorized in 1916 would cost nearly Si50,009,00Q more than estimated an increase of almost 90 per cent.
 Admiral Taylor said he cid not think it was likely that the end of llcstilities would result in any speedy reduction in costs. After the Civil war he said, there was no arprcci- ale lowering of costs of laLor and materials within three years
 The latueship Mississippi new ship delivered last year" was built on contract for SIll6Oo0," the admiral said, hut the company which built it lost money on it.
 The government then decided to build the four battleships in it's cgn navy yards and the cost will prob. ably amount to Sll150,0 GOO each, an increase of 42 per. cent over the esti. mated cost of the battleeEips. The samc increase will apply probably tc capital ships authorized in the 1916 three year program
 For the ten battleships and six battle crisers provided for in this program. I imagine the increase will amount to nearly sl5o,0o0.ooQ. This applies to inc hulls and machinery aione would not venture to say sow much the increase will be for the armor and armament. but will make mquirles and let the command know"

WORKMEN URGED TO
 USE RIFLES BY BERGER
COVE EMINENT SPRINGS SURPRISE ON SOCIALIST WHILE HE IS
 FASTENING.

Chicago, Jan. 2.--On cross examina- ton today, Congres sman- elect Victor L. Berger, of Milwaukee at the trial of five socialist leaders charged with violation of the espionage law. was confronted With an article urin,ted over h's signature in the Socialist Democratic Herald, of Milwaukee. July 5l, 1909, in which he advised workingmen to use rifles if nece5- sary to obtain their rights.
 On direct examination Berger had repeatedly declared that he was a conservative and constructive so- cillist and that he never advised the use of violence
 After Berger had testified that he was opposed to this country's going to war with Mexico, Assistant Dis trict Attorney Fleming produced q telegram which Ben3er had sent to the editor of a New York socialist paper, in March 1916, insisting that the United States send an army into Mexico to punish Villia.
 Berger admitted that in 1q16 he favored a general strike to prevent this country from entering the war. He said he was oposed to the prin- ciples of the L w. w. He said the l. W w. has stood the test as a class organization and was superior to the American Federation of Labor
 'T have fought Samuel Gompers for thirty years" said Berger. The American Federation Of Labor has always sold out to capital"
 Berger admitted that he was op- posed to the war, even after this country entered it, A St Louis convention of the socialist party Berger 's4id there were only five delegates who favored the war. Hay- ing voted for the anti war proclama- ton of the party and having used his paper to urge its adortion by the membership Of the party at a refer endum vote
