THE BERGER CASE.

By the decision of the United States supreme court the decision in the case Rgainsl Victor Berger and others found guilty under the espionage law and sen tenced to ten to twenty years in the federal penitehtiary is not permitted to stand. Under the decision the accused are entitled to a new trial.
 In this instance the highest court in Inc land has not attempted to say that under the evidence that was produced The accused are not guilty of violating the law as charged. It has not passed upon that question. It has taken into consid- eration the claim made by the defendants at the trial that Judge Landis was pre- proof submitted by them to substantiate the charge the court maintains that in asmuch as there was an attack made up- pn the eligibility of the judge to impar- tally hear the court he should net have continued 10 do so.
 The majority of the court take the view that the claim of the defendants was proper and that the judge was dis qualified. but the question will now arise as indicated in the dissenting opini6bs as 10 what effect this is bound to have Upon our courts.
 Apparently if it is possible for defend. ants to get the judge they like, or elini aate the judge that they dislike, By set ling forth the claim that certain ones art frejudiced concerning men of their clas: pr those charged with certain offenses il indicates the possibility of increasing tho delays which too seriously characterize court procedure today.
 As to the denial of Berger to take hi! seat in congress the decision has nt effect for the action of the house wa! upon its own responsibility and upol the facts as Drought 6dt. Ths house il the judge concernihg the seating of mem bers regardless of what the court decis ion was.

 While I was holding my mead Alma walked in.

Eamchatka

Kamchatka and the neighboring country of northeastern Siberia, reported to have been leased by the bolsheyik regime to a syndicate of Americans for the development of its natural resources, is described in the following bulletin is- sued from the Washington, D.. G. head quarters of the National Geographic so- ciey:
 'dThe Kamchatkan peninsula and the Siberian country between it and the Arctic Ocean Is a sort of half-sister to Alaska, which was also once Russian territory.

A CHANCE FOR THF K5ys-

The idea of getting the boys interested ln the work of reforestation is not a bad proposition It opens a new field where in the interest of the boys can be cuiti- vated with profit quite as much as in other lines of endeavor such as farm ing. In fact there is no reason why ms should not be included as one of the branches of agricultural effort for, likes run in different channels and there ss no reason why there wouldn't be those Wne would be eager to specialize in that particular line as well as any other.
 At the present time when there are SO many trees being cut each year. and the assertion made that we are decreasing our timber supply about five times as iast as we are replacing it, there are ex- -ceient reasons for giving greater atten- ton to the subject of refoRstation. It is Wrfectly apparent with little observa- <tion that we still have woodlands. Large forests are to be found throughout the country but when we are using such a supply up faster than we are planning 10 reDiace it it is obvious that the time Is coming when there will be none un- less theTo t- reversal of the policy.
 Ihere are many acres from which the wood has been cut and which are not be- ing utilized They are growing up to brush, which may in time develop more trees but by the proper attention that sarse land and other which may De rated as waste land can be made to produce much valuable and much needed timber

It Is work in which boys would shine and there certainly is plenty of chance.

Stories That Recall Others

 After several moments of thoughtful consideration of the subject he asked: When We grow up do the boys marry the girls because they are pretty, or just because they are good like you when papa married you?"
 And mother is wondering.
 Increasing His Vocabulary.
 Father recently came into possession of new automobile and garage talk flew thick and fast between husband and wife with the result that son Harry, who is learning that words are composed of syllables, sometimes became mixed in his school and garage talk.
 After showing his mother the knowl- edge that had been forced on him that day in the way of new words Harry came to one with three syllables that was not entirely familiar and called to his mother for help with:

TRANS ATLANTIC YACHT RACES.


 Transatlantic yacht racing is not new sport as suggested by King Albert of BelgiurnHwho is the moving spirit for a revival of the contests, but otie of con siderable age though infrequently resort. ed to. Attention having been called to the incorrectness of the statement that such race had never been attempted' 1t is found that the first transatiantic race. apparently took place way back in 1866 when the schooners Henrietta, Fleet wing and Vesta raced from Sandy Hook to The Needles, Isle of Wight for stakes amounting to $90,000. This race was won by the Henrietta in 13 days 21 hours and , minutes, covering 3106 miles and averaging nine and half knots The Fleetwing sailed S0U5 miles and the Vesta 3046. The time of this race was much lower than that made when the schooner America crossed the Atlantfc in 21 days back in 1851 though that was not a race
 The second race was in 1887 when the schooners Cor6net and Dauntiess, ife latter owned by man named Colt of Hartford, sailed match race for $1e,- 900 side from Bay Ridge to Queens town, which was won by the Coronet in II days, g hours and 30 minutes.
 Even the Fourth of July as the date for sailing such a race appears to have been suggested by the third transatlan- tic race which was started July 4, 1890, when the schooners Cambria and baunt- less raced from ola Kinsaie, Ireland td Sandy Hook, the former winning in 2s days hours and r minutes, one hour and 43 minutes ahead of the Dauntless decidedly close race.
 About 15 years ago the last of the transoceanic races took Tlace This wal ! won By the Atlantic owned by a mar l named Marshall and different from the others to the extent that auxiliary power was permissible
 Thus King Albert appears to be inter ested in reviving contest of ldhg stand ing. but one that can expected to tes the skill of builders as well as the abil ity of shippers and crews and ono tha would clearly arouse much more enthu siasm than the contests between vessei which have to give way to tSo stiff sailing breeze.

Cleaned from Foreign Ex-
 changes,

The need for a most stringent public saving is recognized by every sane man. But sane men must recognize also the truth that overcrowding and insufficient housing from one of the costiest extrav- agances in which a nation like ours can indulge. It is the fruitful parent, not only of hardship and suffering, but of disease, drunkenness, vice, crime, inef- fcency, ignorance, and discontent. If we are to keep society in this country stable, sober, productive and progres- sive, there is no reform on which we can less afford to go slow at this moment than housing. Those who fancy other wise simply do not know what the con- dition-of-the-people question is.
 GodfatRers of Mount Everest-The new object of exploring adventure owns, to two odfathers-Sir George Everest. after whom the mightiest of the Hima- layas was named, and Sir Andrew Waugh, who actually named the peak in 1851. Both filled the post of Survey or-Genera of India, Everest on his re- tirement having recommended old John Company" to appoint Waugh, then a young subaltern in the Indian army, as his successor. We'll did Waugh justify the recommendation, for he carried on and completed the great survey of India's vast regions and escertained the height of 79 Hirnalayan peaks. But the task was deadly enough for the survey staff for no fewer than 40 out of 15N officers and men were buried in the swalnpy for. ests.
