Fraternity the Great Need.

1t was Victor Hugo who conceived
this thought The true resistance of
man against catastrophes is an aug
mentation OF humanity. Love one an
other aid one another. Solidarity of
men is the retort to completely of mys-
terious facts. 1t is thus that is estab-
lished on earth the third term of the
grand human formula, fraternity. Gov
ernments put obstacles in the way of
liberty and equality. they will come in
their time, in spite of the monarchy /;
equality in spite of the aristocracy.
But fraternity is the opening door the
emptying purse, the helping hand"
To be sure. the majority may be
wrong. but you have to live with 1t,
don't forget that.

SOME LIVE EAGLES

Troop Is of Buffalo has passed Its
ten-year mark and still going stron-
ger" One of the most interesting feat
ures of its organization is its Eagle
Life patrol, into which regular troop
members graduate on reaching the age
of seventeen or on going away to col
lege. These Eagle Life members meet
quarterly and have their own officers,
organization and constitution, but they
also meet with the troop and partici-
pate. at least three times a year, in a
common program. Troop Is has sew
eral big ideas" One of these is con-
tained in its slogan. college for all"
AT present the troop has 10 boys in
college, nine Of whom declare that
they would not have gone to college
if it had not been for the influence of
Troop 10. Scholarships amounting to
several thousand dollars have been Sc
cured through the Eagle scholarship
bureau.
Other Eagle departments are voca-
uonal bureau, now in its seventh year,
which has filled real need and been
remarkably successful, a travel bureau,
which keeps records of journeys, with
pictures and data, for the benefit of
Eagles or their relatives travelling and
the Eagle Troop development, estab-
lished in 1917, which works through
the individual Eagle keeping him ac-
tive and interested in scouting Some
of the results of this service are: One
Eagle a scoutmaster, three Eagles (two
of them members of the American
Troop 10. five Eagles assistant scout
masters in their respective college
town, and another, an assistant scout
master in the city in which he works.
An extension educational scheme is
also another bright idea of the enter
the encouragement of every Eagle to
| continue TO study after graduation,
and in general TO enlarge his vision
and keep his standards high. Certain
annual honors are awarded the Eagles
at their June meetisg. For instance,
| the Eagle Feather is awarded the
Eagle who has done the most worth
while work in literature during the
year. The Eagle Heart is awarded
that Eagle who has done the most
during the year to aid in growth and
progress of Troop Is. The White

TWELVE GUESTS DIE
WHEN HOTEL BURNS
IN HOBOKEN, n. ].
Bodies So Badly Charred
Identification Is Difficult.
Investigation of Fire Is
Ordered

HOBOKEN, N. J., Jan. 30.-Twelve
persons were burned to death early
today in a fire which destroyed the
Hotel Colonial here. Four others
were badly burned and taken to q
hospital, where it was reported to-
night that they probably would not
recover.
A stream of persons was at the
morgue today trying to identify the
bodies of the victims. They met
with only partial success, however,
although police said jewelry and 9TH
er articles on the charred bodies
would probably lead to discovery Of
relatives of all those burned.
The body of E. G. Snyder, Brook
Ign, was identified by his wife after
friend had declared personal eff
fects found on the body belonged to
Mr.. Snyder. A woman who was with
him had not been identified tonight.
In one room a mans body was found
which later was identified as that of
o. Frank Logan, thirty-six, Hoboken.
Another woman who refused to give
her name identified the body of her
companion, who was burned to death,
as William Smith, of Jersey City
She escaped unframed.
The body of Miss Daisy Grey,
twenty-seven, of Jersey City, was
| identified. as was the body Of Miss
Hester Peterson, twenty-six, of
| Brooklyn.
Later a friend identified the body
of Herman Linke, forty-two of Irv-
| ington, N. J. Mrs. Schumacher, who
was taken to the hospital in a crit
ical condition, died later. The other
woman in the hospital was identi-
fed as Miss Blanche Keller, thirty
eight, of Jersey City.
The register was burned to a crisp,
and there was no means of learning
the names of the victims until they
are identified by friends. .
One woman in the hospital had
not been identified tonight, but the
two men there were found to be
Josiah Rider, of Jersey City, and
Richard Dierksen, dishwasher, who
lived at the hotel. Dierksen, it was
said at the hospital, had lost his
| reason.
Bernard M. Merely. director of
public safety in Hoboken, has or,
dered two investigations;. one by the
police into the manner in which the,
hotel was being cnoducted, and the
other by the fire department, to de-
termine how the fire started.
| According to a statement by
George Groll, the night clerk, the
fire started in a guests room, but
the man was out at the time. 1t is
believed the guest had left a light
ed cigar or cigarette stub where 1t
later set fire to the drappery.
Fire Chief Gilday tonight declared
| that he believed the failure of Groll
to turn in an alarm promptly, as
well as the physical condition Of the
victims at the time of the fire, was
partly responsible for the heavy loss
of life. He declared whisky bottles
were found in some of the rooms,
and said that had the occupants
been able to comprehend the warn,
ings that were sent, he believed
there would have been little, If any,
| loss of life.
The chief declared the building
was provided with ample fire es.
capes. to which open corridors af,
| forded easy access.

Yeggmen Get $185
In Money and Stamps,
Wrecking Two Safes

Yeggmen paid visit to the offices
Of the International Harvester COM
pany, 100 East Hunter street, on
Saturday night, wrecking two safes
and securing cash to the amount of
$50 and stamps to the value of about
$3.50.
The robbery was discovered Sun
day morning by employees of the
company and an investigation is be-
ing made by the police. No explosive
was used. The yeggmen knocked the
dials off with d sledge hammer, and
then smashed the combination and
tumblers by using chisel and
hammer
Officials of the company stated
Monday that comparatively little
cash is allowed to remain in the
safes over the Weekend but the rob-
bers were evidently in ignorance of
this fact The stamps were per-
forated and therefore can be traced
ii used.
A considerable number of en-
ployes' stock certificates were kept
in the safes, but the robbers, prob
ably realizing that the stock would
be useless to them, did not remove
it from the safe. Other papers were
examined and left behind.

PARIS, Jan. 30.-Germany must
pay 226,0O0, 900 gold marks, nor
maliy aboutr s56, 100000 in wa
Preparations, the allied supreme coun-
Gil decided late today.
Payment of the indemnity will ex-
tend over a period of AZ years, on
the following graduated scale:
First two years, 2,OO0,OO0,00U
marks annually.
Next three years, 3,0OO,OOO,OOO
marks annually
Next three years, 4,OOo,oOO,ooo
marks annually.
Next three years, 5,000,000,000
marks annually.
Next thirty-one years, 6,00O,OOO,O OO
marks annually.
In addition, the Germans must
pay a tax of II IL per cent on their
exports The total value of their
exports in the best year before the
war was about S2,5O0,000,OO0. Their
decreased industrial capacity, added
to the loss of territory, probably
would cut this down to at least ST.
00O, 900, 900, perhaps much less. On a
yearly export of $1,000, 100000, they
would have to pay tax of $125,-
0OO, 900.
The financial conference at Brus-
sells will reopen February 7, but the
Preparations terms will not be Off
Scially communicated to the Germans
= until February %, when they will be
invited to special conference in
London.

lending to March Is, April Is and
July 1. Penalties for non-fulfill-
ment of the disarmament clauses
I will include disbarment of Germany
from the League of Nations, occupa-
ton of the Ruhr Industrial district

lutte cordially throughout the con-
ference"
Despite this statement, it was

SOCIALIST BERGER
GIVEN NEW TRIAL
BY SUPREME COURT
Conviction of Socialist Pub
Usher and Four Colleagues
Reversed-Court Divided
Six to Three

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The con-
viction Of Victor L. Berger, Milwau-
kee Socialist publisher, on charges
Of violating the wartime espionage
act was reversed today by the su-
prime court on the ground that Fed
eral Judge Lands should not have
presided at the trial after his ellgf-
billy had been attacked in an affi-
lavit filed by Berger, and charging
prejudice.
Within a few minutes after the
courts decision had been announced,
President Wilson refused to commute
the ten-year sentence imposed on Eu-
gene V. Debs, many-time Socialist
candidate for president, for a viola
ton of the same law.
The court divided, six to three, in
Berger's case, Justices Day, Pitney
and McReynolds dissenting.
New Trial Likely
AS a result of the, courts action
it is probable that the decision of
Judge Lands will be reversed and
a new trial ordered before another
judge The decision, however, does
not finally settle the case of Berger
and four other Socialist leaders.
The decision was solely on the
questions. certified to the supreme
court, by the circuit court Of appeals
at Chicago, as to whether Judge
Lands because of alleged prejudice
in previous statements should have
allowed another judge to try the
Socialists.
The circuit court of appeals is
holding up it's decision on the ap-
peal of Berger and the others until
the answer of the supreme court is
received.
1t was held that the affidavit was
sufficient to invoke a change of
venue. If the affidavit is false, JUS
tice McKenna said in. reading the
opinion, Berger and the others can
be prosecuted for perjury.
Court Divided
Those convicted with Berger in the
federal court at Chicago were Adolph
Germer, national secretary Of the
party; William F. Kruse, editor Of
the Young Socialists Magazines; ].
Louis Engdahl and Irwin st. John
Tucker
Berger and the other four men
were convicted under the section
prohibiting attempts to- cause insub-i-
ordination and disloyalty in the
naval and military forces, and SEN
fences ranging from ten to twenty
years were imposed
