many show satisfaction over the En-
tente's acceptance of the German pro-
posals regarding proceedings against
so-called war criminals before the
Leipzig court, and that the German
government is resolved to carry out
such proceedings in accordance with

BERLIN, Feb. 18.-Gustav Noske,
o. ad ths speaxlhs tha at

purely general war measure ordered

"The claim that they desire to in

for the purpose of substituting the
Attorney General for the District At

to these designs.
"lt is a great tribute to this office
that, after five months of diligent eff

Soviet Activity
Here Defended
BY M arten $
Ambassador" Tells Senate
Committee Revolutionary
Counsel Was Justified as
W ar Propaga n d a
Improper Now, He Says
Draws Distinction Between
His Own Acts and Those
of Lenine Government

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Vigorous
cross-examination of Ludwig C. A. X.
Martens, Russian Soviet "ambassador"
to the United States, began before the
Senate investigating committee to-day.
with Wade Ellis, counsel for the COM
mlttee, apparently bent on developing
the extent to which the witness mipht
have been connected with revolution
ary propaganda in this country since
he received his appointment from the
soviet government
Throughout the examination Martens
sought to draw a distinction between
the acts of his government and his
own "official" activities and those of
the Russian Communist party.
The witness said he had not melted
revolution in the United States, and
Mr.. Ellis produced a letter signed by
Lenine, Soviet Premier, dated in Janu-
ary, 1919, urging American working
men to establish a soviet government
and "overthroW" reactionary labor
leaders "like Gompers," and also over
throw "bourgeoisie parliaments."
Martens said the letter did not come
tain circumstances such letter might
be justified" The letter was war
propaganda" he said, adding that
Russia was at war with all powers
during the last two years"
THE United States did not declare
war on Russia, did it," asked Senator
brandegee, Republican, of Connecticut.
"'Oficially there was no war;" Martens
said, but actually there was a war,
which Is now finished"
AT this point Martens said revolu-
t'onary propaganda in the United
States would not now be "justified." "
Mr. Ellis thel asked if detailed re-
ports had been sent by the witness
through Frederick Strom, in Stockholm,
Sweden, to be forwarded to Moscow.
Several times" said Martens
Did you in one dispatch say that
your agents were busy in several West
-ern states creating secret committees,
organizing and building up commercial
relations ?" Ellis asked.
81 couldn't have stated anything like
that Martens answered. "That must
have been a forgery"

New York Man Explains
Increase in Coal Prices
t. Fl. Watkins Attributes Ad-
vance to High Wages, Strikes
and Intermittent Car Supply

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Increases
in the cost Of coal to the consumer
since the war have been caused by ad-
vanced operating cost due to wage ad-
vances, strikes, intermittent car supply
and augmented overhead expenses, T.
II. Watkins. of New York, president of
the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Cor
poration, to-day told the Senate Coal
Committee.
The ii per cent increase in wages
recently granted bitumious coal miners
would never have been necessary or de-
manded by the men if adequate trans
portation facilities had been afforded
the mines to allow consistent opera
ton, Mr.. Watkins said.
Several coal operators have been
forced into bankruptcy by the Railroad
Administration, Mr.. Watkins alleged,
through the policy of confiscating coal
and Withholding payment for it for
long periods.
Former Fuel Administrator Garfield
informed the coal strike settlement
commission to-day that pressure of
private matters rendered it almost pro-
hibitive for him to testify before the
commission. Chairman Robinson said
the commission had informed DR.. Gar
field he need not appear.

La Cuardia Decries
llleggalOastirng Of
Five Socialists
Predicts Ten Would Take
Their Places; Denounces
All Who Attempt to Cur
tail Freedom of Speech

At the monthly luncheon yesterday
at the Hotel McAlpin of the New York
Electrical League, F. II. La Guardia,
President of the Board of Aldermen,
predicted that if the five Socialist As
semblymen we're illegally ousted the
Socialist party would elect ten Assem-
blymen at the next election.
The danger from Bolshcvism," he
said, "is somewhat exaggerated. Some
agitators are criticizing the govern
ment, but any government that cannot
stand a bit of criticism is not very
formidable
1--WE have given the so-called Boil
shevist movement in this state more
advertising in the last six weeks than
Lenine and Trotzky cot in this country
in the last two years." he contirucd
Deny freedom of speech and press and
you drive those people into holding Sc
cret meetings in back rooms, which is
just what happened in Russia
II hold no brief for Socialists" said
President La Guardia, but if those
men are guilty of treason say that
they should have been indicted and if
proved guilty convicted. If they COM
mitted treason during war time. then
some public official was derelct in
his duty and should be tried with
them.
He spoke Of the danger in racial an
tagonism, particularly the kind that is
directed against those men and women
who are not native-born Americans.
He cited numerous instances of the
loyalty of these people and said that it
is not necessary to be born in America
to be 100 per cent American.
He explained the method by which
political party machines are created
and said the presence of bosses" in
American political life was caused by
the little interest taken by the great
mass of the country's citizenry in poll
tics.
He urged his auditors to see to it
that this condition is remedied and
warned them also to see to it that the
direct primary law remains on the
statute books instead Of, as is now be-
ing proposed, repeating it and reverting
back to packed conventions"

tion, not only as the best means to
promote the orderly progress Of enlight-
eminent, but as the best safeguard Of
our American institutions. We recog-
nlze that efforts to bring about the
overthrow of our government by vio-
lence must not be permitted, but in
ill-considered attempts to meet this diff

that real liberty which has always been
one of the cornerstones Of our Re-

Teachers salaries would be doubled
in another resolution passed. Compul-
sorry physical training, constructive

Witness, Lauds
Soviet Russia
Socialist Leader, ON Stand
for Ousted Assemblymen,
Revels in Expounding the
Doctrines of His Party
Senator to Assail Sweet
Thompson Promises Sensa-
ton in Disclosing Motives
Behind the Suspension
From a STUFF Correspondent


ALBANY. Feb 1S.-The second day
of the defense in the trial of the five
Socialist Assemblymen began and ended
as it did yesterday, with Morris Hill
quit still, on the stand. Hillquit has
fairly revelled in expounding social
ism and in lauding Soviet Russia. His
testimony is no longer delivered in the
speaking voice. 1t is intoned in a
soothing chant.
While Hillquit was intoning the
glories of socialism and Soviet Russia
in the Assembly Chamber the Senate
was listening to Senator George F.
Thompson. who announced that he
would attack Speaker Sweet next week
for ousting the five Socialists. Thomp-
son promised sensational expose of
the custer.
Postpones Arrangement
thompson was prepared to open fire
on Sweet to-day, but at the request of
the majority leader of the Senate, j.
Henry Walters, he postponed it in
order to permit the Republicans to
lca'c carly SO as 10 dCCenQ Cne COnVen-
tion in New York City.
Thompson's attack will be a reply to
Sweets counter on him for his charge
that the Socialists were ousted by
Sweet as the opening gun of his cam
paign for the Republican nomination
for Vice-President or Governor
While Thompson was attacking Sweet
in the Senate Hillquit was pronouncing
an anathema against the radicals
whose ritual differs from his and his
particular group.
He divided Socialists into three
classes-Socialists, Neo Marxian Social
lists and unitarian Socialists.
What is an un- MARKHAM Socialist ?"
inquired Assemblyman William Evans,
of the Bronx.
"An un-Marxian Socialist" replied
Hillquit, ais a Socialist who believes
in the ideals of Socalism-collectiv
ownership of the instruments of pro-
duction-but does not believe in class
divisions, class struggles and other
theories of Marx, such, for instance, as
the surplus value theory"
Excursion Into Russia
Under the friendly questioning of
Seymour Stedman Hillquit continued
his excursion into Soviet Russia, VOL
unteering that ga soviet is govern
ment of the underling," but protested
with upraised hands that 1--WE do not
accept wholly the theories of the So
Wet government in every way"
The suggestion that the United
States would ever be a soviet govern

Big Rise in Building Costs
New Yorker Cites Increase of
24O Per Cent in Seven Years

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Building costs
have risen from "a to 240 per cent
since 1918, according to Franklin r.
Miller, New York publisher, who to-
day addressed representatives of
building trades and construction or
ganizations at the national conference
on concrete house construction.
He attributed this advance to the de-
mand for automobiles and other luxu-
ries, asserting these had drawn labor
from the building industry and raised

another in renting. and until they

Home Rule Bill DELAYED

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-The government
has decided not to introduce the Irish
Home Rule bill tom orrow, as had been
planned, pending further consideration
of one or two points. 1t is believed
the points in question are as to how
much each section Of the country Gre
ated by the bill shall contribute toward
the maintenance OF the empire.
Because of the vast difference in the
area, the wealth and the population
of the two sections the trainers Of tn
bill believe it will be difficult to rec
oncile the north and south of Irelansl
in this particular.
