Friday
Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 17.—Victor
L Berger is the issue in the special
election called for Friday In the fifth
congressional district of Wisconsin.
The Socialist leader, leader who was
elected to the present Congress, but
denied his seat following his convic
tion for violation of the espionage
act, is again the nominee of his par
ty. He is opposed by Henry H. Bod
enstab, a Republican whose candidacy
is backed also by the Democratic or
ganization and a local society known
as "The Good Government League."
The Fifth district is looked upon as
the Socialist stronghold of Wisconsin.
Berger carried it several years ago
when he was elected to Con'gress the
first time, and again at the regular
election in November, 1918. At the
latter time he had a plurality of j

WEDNESDAY EVENING
more than 5.000 votes, polling 17,920
against 12,450 for Carney. Democrat,
and 10,678 for Stafford, Republican.
Carney instituted the contest which
resulted in Berger's loss of his seat.
Was Renamed
Berger was the unanimous choice of
a mass meeting called hurriedly be
cause of lack of time for taking the
usual party referendum. The Berger
meeting approved his "every act,
word and writing." The platform on
which Berger seeks re-election reit
erates many of the Socialist party
principles and declares against pro
hibition, against "the impertinent pre
sumption of any clique or party in
the House of Representatives to dic
tate whom the district is to elect as
it Representative," and against 'med
dling in the internal affairs of any
foreign country Russia, Germany
and Mexico."
Bodenstab's candidacy was the out
growth of a conference between rep
resentatives of the Republican and
Democratic county committees and a
delegation from the Good Govern
ment League.
Rodenstab also has announced that
ho is against prohibition. The nub of
hij platform is the declaration "to
keep inviolate the fundamental prin
ciples of our government, and stand
opposed to every attempt to Berger
ize and Bolshevize this country."
Socialists Active
Prior to the primary election, the
Socialists were more active than the
fusionists at least with regard to the
holding of meetings. Berger was
quoted in one of his speeches as hav
ing said that he hoped the soldiers
would refuse to take the place of
striking coal miners and declared
that the former German Emperor
wculd not use "regular troops" to In
timidate strikers. At another time
he said "if this district Is made up
entirely of horse thieves then a
horse thief is its only true represen
tative," in arguing for his own re
election.
Bodenstab in outlining the issue at
an organization meeting of one of the
branches of the Good Government
League, said:
'lt is not true Socialism that the
Fifth district is confronted with. It
is something worse. It is Bolshevism.
The Socialists whom Mr. Berger rep
resents are a group of individuals
who do nothing but stir up employes
against employer and employer
against employe. Now they are try
ing to overthrow the accepted form
af government of this country. Mr.
Berger is trying to irritate old sores
for his own benefit."

MORE STUDENTS
IN THE COLLEGES
Increase in Zeal Among Brit
ish Just Home From
the War
Manelie*ter, Eng., Dee. 17.—There
has been an increase In zeal among
the college students of this country
since the war, according to Viscount
Bryce. Speaking at the University of
Manchester he said that in all the
universities, notably in Oxford and
Cambridge, the numbers of students
had grown until It had become dif
ficult to find accommodation for them.
At Oxford, he continued, they had
told him that men had came hack
from the war hungry and thirsting
for learning. They were training
themselves with energy which was
seldom seen, even under the pressure
of the competition that existed before
1911. Moreover, the intellectual vital
ity of the students was high, proving
that so long as the British people
maintained their patriotism, strength,
force and intellectual life the country
would pull through.
Referring to the duties and func
tions which universities would dis
charge in the future, Viscount Bryce
said that he did not think that in the
whole range of human thought there
was any subject at this moment
which was more important in the in
terests of the country and of the
world than the study of economic
problems. ~ ,
It was not merely for practical pur
poses, or the merely utilitarian part
of life that we should study lan
guages and history, he said. Ha A
the business of life was concerned
with knowing how to use men and
v.-omen. how to understand them,
how to get on with them, how to turn
their faculties to the best account.
"It is good for us," said Lord
Bryee. "that we should get to know
not only men hut nations. These are
times in which no nation can ajiy
longer live a life of isolation. \\ e
have stood apart from the European
continent, secure in our immunity
from invasion, and our people have
given too little thought to what was
passing in other nations and studied
too little the relations which we hate
maintained with them. But the war
has shown us that our fortunes are
bound up with the fortunes of tne
rest of the world: it has shown us
thut not even a continent cut off front
us bv a great ocean, that no gteat
people, can any longer stand outside
the circle."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
NEWFOUNDLAND DOG SAVES
92 FROM WRECKED VESSEL
Fights Way Through Raging Breakers With the Life Line
When Men Dare Not Attempt Trip in Boats
Curling, N. F., Dec. 17.—The pas
sengers and crew of the coastal
steamship Ethic, numbering ninety
two persons, were brought ashore
on a lifeline which was run to the
land from the ship by a Newfound
land dog after their vessel piled up
on Martin's Point.
Boats could not make the hazard
ous passage from the stranded
steamer. An effort to shoot the
line ashore failed when it becaino
caught. Men did not dare attempt
the trip through the waters and so
the dog was put overboard.
Directed by oflicers of the Ethie,
the intelligent animal succeeded in
releasing the rope and holding it
tightly in his teeth, fought his way
through the breakers to the shore.
Declares Degree on
Morgan by Cambridge
Is Well Deserved
1.0n,10n. Dec. 17. The Spectator
points out to Englishmen that the
honorary degree of doctor of laws
conferred by Cambridge University
on J. P. Morgan, of New York, was
"extraordinarily well-deserved."
"Mr. Morgan has always been a fast
friend of this country, and a hard
worker for closer Anglo-American
understanding," the Spectator con
tinues. "Early in 1915 his firm was
selected to act as commercial agents
for the British government in the
United States. It wus he who con
centrated and co-ordinated the enor
mous orders for war materials. He
also acted as agent for the Frencn
gcvernment, and by eliminating com
petition in prices and deliveries, ne
probably saved the Allies hundreds of
millions of pounds.
"It was Mr, Morgan again who took
the chief part in placing on the Amer
ican market the Anglo-French loan
for £100,009,090, a loan unprecedented
it, the history of external loans by
an> government. He refused to ac
cept any remuneration for placing
this loan. His work in using British
securities to stabilize the exchange
was uiso invaluable.
"He has done more than risk his
fortune in the cause of the Allies; he
has also risked his life. His escape
from the German assasin who twice
v.cunded him was a narrow one. Eng
lishmen may well rejoice in any hon
or which can give satisfaction to Mr.
Morgan."
German Writer Likens
Ludendorfii With Xerxes
Berlin, Doc. 17.—Theodore Wolff,
writing in the Tugeblatt, compares
General Ludentlorff, formerly chief of
the German Ueneral Staff, with Xer
xes, "who, after the destruction of his I
licet ordered the sea to be whipped." 1
"it does not indicate much strength
of soul," he continues, 'when Luden
dc'rff repeatedly seeks to make the
people responsible for the revolution,
which was occasioned only by mili
tary failures. He is considerably
more unjust than Xerxes.
"The Americans whom he had ridi
culed came and the tanks that he had
made fun of arrived also. On June
ti the announcement was made to the
German people that the 'proud ma
noeuvre army of the Kntente us sucli
exists no longer, aud Ave days later
came the dissolution and complete
destruction of the Koch manoeuvre
army.
"net, all of a sudden as four years
before, the Germany army ventured
too far, the manoeuvre army was
was there. The German troops had
to give, and in the deception which
lollowed so maj' lying claims, in the
bitterness at the murderous mis
takes, and in the recognition mat
with the ridiculed entry of America
Germany's fate was sealed, a four
year old courage collapsed."
Saw Father Kill
Man, Girl Swears
Doylcstown, Pa., Dec. 17.—1f
Harry H. A. Adams, of Quakertown,
goes to the electric chair for the
murder of Constable John P. Weit
zel, it will be largely on the testi
mony of his own daughter.
The daughter, Mrs. J. Arthur
Jones, eighteen years old, who has
been married two years, took the
witness stand in Adams' trial to-day
and described the light in the barn
on the Adams place in which Weit
zel was killed and the man now on
trial for his life so severely wounded
that for a long time he lay at the
point of death in the Bethlehem
Hospital.
Mrs. Jones told of having seen
the two men fight. She swore that
she had seen her father fire and his
antagonist fall. She told how her
father, severely wounded, had
struck his enemy over the head and
face with a hammer.
"Do you not love your father?"
asked Major George Ross, who is
defending Adams.
"Well, I can't say that I hato
him," the girl answered.
Hays Calls Republican
Party Hope of Country
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 17.—Main
taining that the nation Is as unpre
pared for peace as it was for war.
Chairman Will H. Hays, addressing
the Republican state central com
mittee here this afternoon, declared
it has become apparent the Repub
lican party is the country's only
salvation.
He advocated a large inheritance
tax, adding that adequate taxes
must be provided by careful legis
lation. "We do not propose, how
ever," he continued, "to permit the
use of the war as an excuse for
everything."
I.cgislation for the betterment of
the laboring group, which, he said,
was the salvation of the country
through the crisis encountered, was
promised by the national chairman.
"Labor of this country is entitled
to and will receive fair representa-
Hon in all the councils of the na
on," he added.
Mr. Hays closed with an appeal
for the "patriotism of Abraham
Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt."
Gerard Won't Run
Against the President
New York, Dec. 17.—Jamos W.
Gerard, formerly ambassador to
Germany, telegraphed to friends in
South Dakota that he would not he
a canadldate for the Democrat c
nomination for President if Presi
dent Wilson should seek a third
term.
A minority Democratic nom'nat
ing petition was (lied in his behalf
in that state.

Ph'la. Liquor Men
May Lose Millions
I'liila., Dec. 17.—Philadelphia's
hotel proprietors, liquor firms and
saloonkeepers, face losses amount
ing to millions, it was said to-day,
