Heine Protects" the Over
powered Socialist Workers.

LEINE (Barrister): On January
the strike broke out among the
dock workers of Kiel. On January 29
the social democratic leaders entered
the strike committee. The social
democrats did not prepare the strike,
b, and their leaders entered the strike
committee solely for the purpose of
protecting the overpowered socialist
workers, and in the interests of ma
tional defence.

CCHEIDEMANN: 1 did not hear
~ Wallraf's speech, tho there is
much contained in it to which could
give my agreement. The strike broke
out without our knowing anything
about it, and Populations were sent to
us asking US to participate. We declin-
ed to do this and sent the delegates
away. But when our own followers
begged us to join the strike commit
0tee, 1--WE did so with the expressed in
: tention74-here betray no secret-of
putting an end to the strike as
aa speedily as possible by means or
negotiations with the government.
There was strong feeling against
us in the functionaries' meeting, as
"sabotagers" of the strike.
The workers wanted to stop the
electric supply as reply to KessePs
commands.
If we had not entered the strike
committee at that time, this court
would not be sitting today, precisely
as we prevented Russian conditions
In 1918. And no newspaper would
exist today which could abuse us.
What we did-was done for love of
our fatherIandl
(Vorwarts Dec. IL, evening edition.)
CCHEIDEMANN: l hear Of this
- leaflet for the first time. When
we entered the strike committee, we
did this mainly because of the dan
ger that unknown wirepullers would
Pttem9 10 seize the movement. It is
utter nonsense to maintain that we
favored the strike internally.
We should have been fit for the
Iunatlc asylum had we done this,
after pursuing for four years the
straight line Of defence of native
country.
Heine (barrister): Did not the
greater importance accruing to the
strike thru the participation of the
social democratic party have the eff.
feet of extending the movement?
Scheidemann: By our participation
in the strike the workers were united.
and thus the movement could be
much more quickly settled than would
otherwise have been possible. If an
onymous wirepullers had got the mat
ter into their hands, there is simply
no saying what might have happened
(Vorwarts Dec. IL, evening edition.
CHAIRMAN: Could you issue the
~ slogan for the breaking off of the
strike?
Seheidemann: That was entire i'm
possible. All we could do was to take
part, in order to bring the affairs to
a favorable end.
(Vorwarts Dec. IL, evening edition.)
Scheidemann: We exerted
every endeavor to induce the general
commission Of the trade unions to
take part. This was in accordance
with the intentions of the govern
ment.

NR. LANDSBERG (barrister): Did

Scheidemann: Prince Max of Baden
declared to Ebert and me that he
would not undertake the government
unless the social democrats partici-
pated. The tenor of his speech was
that we had held strictly to the line
Of defence of native country, and that
we must hold to national defence.

to the strike, for | was his intimate
friend, and there was hardly any po-

am surprised at the way in which
a man of such irreproaehabIe char
acter and great patriotism as Ebert
has been dragged thru the press
and meetings during the last few
years.
XkIHEN the revolution set in, after
wv shots were fired in consequence
of the events in the navy at Kiel, the
admiralty feared-not that a revolu-
ton might break out-but that the
shooting might bring about a strike
of the dock workers. 1t was Ebert
who proposed sending me to Kiel,
since my relations to the navy might
enable me to prevent a rising among
the workers. AS you will probably
know, l went to Kiel; / did not, how
ever, find any strikers there, but
10000 mutineers. l say all this for
the purpose of illustrating my close

approve of the strike during the war,
but should support it internally.
Witness Noske: That is perfectly
ridiculous. The party never came to
any such decision. Had l desired il,
there would have been a strike at

N. D. HIGHWAYS
ARE RICHER. AT
MONTANA'S COST

The State Highway Department was
recently advised by the Secretary Of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c., that
it would received $lO,5S4 as addition
al federal aid for the construction of
highways because of the failure Of
the state Of Montana to use its al
l"+"'"nt. On July S. 1922 the state
of Montana was allotted the sum- Of

building Of highways in that state.
Under the provisions Of the federal
law, this allotment must be used UP

80, 1925, Montana had failed TO use
up $655 ,54G.34 of it's allotment given
it on July S, 1928. On August 20,
1925, the Department Of Agriculture
redistributed this sum to the various
states on the same basis as that on
which each state was awarded its or

STATE j RANKS
ABOVE NOR NAL
IN ATHLETICS
More Students Take Part in
Various Contests Than
at Average College

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. ll-7tH9---
More students take part in inter-
mural athletics at the University of
North Dakota than is the case at the
average American college or unive:-
sity, Paul J. Davis, director of athlc-
tics ut the local institution, said here
today.
Statistics compiled by the athletic
department show that more than 81
per cent of the male students attend
ing the university take part i'm some
form of organized sport while others
play as the spirit moves them, Figures
compiled at the University of Min
nesOta, he said, show that about 33
per cent of the students there take
part in organized athletic activities,
and that institution ranks high as an
exponent Of inter-mural athletics.
Davis had planned to introduce SOC
Ger to students at North Dakota uni
versity this year but the bad weather
experienced this fall prevented HIM
from carrying out the experiment.
To Play Hockey
Preparations now are under way
for the organization of from 10 to Is
hockey leagues to add zest to the
sport. Plans for the hockey contests
are dependent upon an open winter
so that snow will not seriously inter-
fere with proper conditioning Of the
hockey rinks which it is proposed to
established on the campus.
Plans for the rinks include an ar
rangement whereby the CITY of Grand
FORKS Will furnish the water for
flooding them and the university ath-
letic department will take over the
job of keeping them in condition for
use. Schedules Will be arranged by
the athletic department as soon as
the various teams are organized and
a trophy cup will be awarded to the
winning team.
Basket Ball Favorite Pastimc
In addition to the winter sports
program which will occupy the lime
light as soon as the football season
is over, Davis is laying plans to in
duce every student to take part in
some form of sport at all times
throughout the year. More intermur-
al baseball and tennis teams as we'll
rs more men interested in track and
field sports will help to increase the
present high average, Davis asid.
Despite the interest which the pro-
posed hockey league has stirred up it
is not expected to supplant basket
ball as the favorite winter sport of
most students. Candidates for the
varsity basketball team are practiclng
daily and numerous others who have
no hope of making the team are get
ting themselves ready for the series
of intermural basketball games sched-
udled for later in the winter,

'EC0LD WINTER"
BATTLE RACES
Farmers Are Warned Not to
Place Much Stock in Fore
casts for Next Year

North Dakota farmers are being
warmed by well known Agricultural
Foundation against placing faith in
forecasts OF an extremely cold winter
ahead to be followed by an unseason-
able summer in 1926. The winter may
be extremely cold and the summer
unreasonable, but scientists have no
means Of telling it at this early date.
A week is the longest dip possible in
to the weather future "a
Neither is there reason for believ-
ing that the winters in this section
are no longer so cold nor the sum-
mers so hot as formerly, according to
the Foundation, which quotes weather
bureau figures on the point, runnin"
back three decades. The mean DA
cember-January ryand-February tenn
perature over the decade 1895 1864
was 81 degrees. For the decade 1906
IA in was 9.5 degrees; and for 1915
1924, go degrees, a difference in the
total range Of .5 of Il degree. The
mean temperature for the same three
winter months last year was 9.3 de-
greeS.
Exceptional Occurrences
"Snows that i:X or The ground fc-
months on end, skating that began IN
ANOSC.uNCi AHO lASIcu uuLll MATCH,
snow drifts that reached almost any
height one might mention, were the
exceptional occurrences in grand
fathers day as they are today" the
Foundation declares. "One mild win
ter starts the rumor that overcoat
manufacturers had better 60 into tn.
Palm Beach suit business, while an
extremely cold winter is dubbed as 4
good old-fashioned winter. One ex-
planation for this is that memory is
tricky and recalls the exceptional
rather than the average. Another is
that modern living has taken the
edge off the extreme weather. A
snowfall that our forefathers would
have trodden under foot for days now
is shoveled awaN before we get up in
the morning. Better htating, too,
makes US feel the low temperature
less. and ice refrigerating plants and
electric fans make extremes Of heat
more endurable."
Changes Very Gradual
While the weather is constantly
changing from one year to another,
big climatic changes are too gradual
to be observed in the lifetime Of one
or even a hundred generations, the
Foundation states. Scientists figure
that the climate Of this continent has
not changed in some ten million
years. not since the passing of the
glacial period, and probably will not
for another ten million.

College at Minot

Elsie J. Cook, critic teacher of the
eighth grade in the training school,
now On leave of absence for special
study at the State Universi'", was
elected president Of the State Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers at the
annual convention at jamestown the
past week. Consequently she has re-
signed the secretaryship of the
Northwestern Teachers Association,
position she has held for some
years past, Miss Cook has been a
member of the faculty Of this insti-
tuition since it was founded.
The enrolment at the college has
passed $50. In view Of the fact that
the first year of high school work
has been dropped, this is a good
showing, representing gain over last
fall term Of 81. If the first year
high school had been continued, the
gain would have been 25 per cent.
Prof. L. o. Lantis, Of the depart
ment of social sciences, has been alb
sent from his classes the past week,
