Berger's Guilt Clear Organized Anti-American So? ciety.in Military Camp. Chicago, Dec. 12.?Organization oi .^circles of the Young. People's Socialist League, whose members were known as "Yipsels," at Camp Grant canton ment, formation of a secret code tc aid draft evaders in reaching Mexiec and decisions to? evade enlistment, were testified in federal court today by-Arnold A. Schiller, a draft soldier at Camp Grant, in the trial of Victor L. Berger and four other Socialist leaders for conspiracy under thees . pionage act. LOn his arrival at Camp Grant as a draft soldier, Schiller said, he began corresponding with William F. Kruse, one of the defendants, asking permis sion to organize "Yipsel" circles. Letters were identified by the wit ness as his letters to Kruse and their replies telling of the organization of such circles at the camp. One of these letters written by Kruse expressed the hope that meet ings could be held in Camp Grant. "The Swiss and Scandinavians are ^reat on that stuff," the letter read. "It has decided news value, but will have to be handled judiciously." Schiller said he transcribed a code which was to be used when secrecy was desired. He said Easier, a "Yip sel" organizer in the presence of Kruse, said he had perfected a nieth \ od of getting into Mexico, and that ? the code would be useful in that event. The key word was "army." Schiller said he made some prepar ation for going to Mexico and joined a Spanish class organized by Basier. At one conversation with Kruse, the witness said, the Rev. Mr. Tucker, an other defendant, was present. "That was June 14, 1917," fie said. ; **Mr. Tucker had just written an an - swer to President Wilson's flag day address and he said, "Here's where I catch hell from the federal authori ties." Schiller testified that he had dis . cussed the draft with W. F. Kruse, a defendant, and Herman Basler, an or ganize^ for the Young People's Social ist League. "Kruse said in substance," Schiller testified, "that he was opposed to the draft and would take personal action against it, and Basier also said he was opposed- to the draft and to the war." Schiller told of a convention of the Young People's Socialist League in May, 1917, in Chicago, where he said the St. Louis platform of the Socialist party was approved and a resolution, added to it that no member should enlist. "The convention decided unani mously," he said, 'that no 'Yipsel" be tween the ages of 21 and 30 should register under the draft." Omar Temple Election J. W. Ivey, of Florence, Chosen as Potentate.

THEY WANT FEDERAL AID BUT NOT CONTROL Railway Executives Ask the Maximum of Government Suppport and Minimum of Regulation.' Philadelphia, Dee. 12.?Railroad ixecutiyes representing 125 roads and _ per cent, of the mioiage of the I country tonight gave out a formal statement in which they declared that i Director General MeAdoo's sugges i tio:.i that the government retain con j trol of the railroads until January, 1924, "would simply load to delay and confusion, a demoralization of the or ganization of roads both on their cor porate and operating side and defer indefinitely a satisfactory settlement" of the railroad problem. The executives, the statement said, have reached the conclusion that ?there is sufficient time under the term of the present act to fully consid er the railroad situation in all its aspects and arrive at a plan that woud be just to the country." The statement was given out by Thomas de Witt Cyler of the Associa tion of Railway Executives. The state i ment follows: "The standing committee cf the As sociation of Railway Executives have considered the letter of the director general to the chairmen of the inter state commerce committees of the senate and house and have reached the conclusion that there is sufficient time under the term of the present act to fully consider the railroad sit uation in its aspects and to arrive at a plan; that would be just to the country as represented by its shipper? and the public at large and on the ether hand to the security holders anc' -hare holders and employees of th. railroads. They are in full accorc with the president in his statement a4 follows: " 'The one conclusion that I an i ready to state with confidence is thai it would be a disservice alike to the j country and to the owners of the rail roads to return to the old condition? unmodified. These are conditions oi restraint without^development. There is nothing affirmative or helpful abou' them. What the country chiefly need 's that all these means cf transporta tion should be developed, its railways, its waterways, its highways anel its countryside roads. Seme new element cf policy is therefore necessary?nec essary for the release of credit toi those who are administering the rail ways; necessary for the protection cf their security holders. The old pol icy may be changed much or little but surely it can not always be lef*: as it was. I hope that the congress will have a complete and impartial study of the whole problem institut ed at once and prosecuted as rapidly as possible.' "They feel that to at present ex tend the time would simply lead to de lay and confusion, demoralization of th ? organization of the roads both on their corporate and operating side and defer indefinitely a satisfactory set tlement of this great problem. "They regret to differ with the di rector general, recognizing tho able way he has managed the roads dur ing the period of government control, but they feel confident that it would be unnecessary and unwise to extend the period of control beyond the time now provided for under the act." Baltimore. Dec. 12.?S. Davies War field, president of the National Asso ciation of Owners of Railroad Securi ties, when asked what the position of :he association is In regard to Me Adoo's suggestion that the return of the railroads be extended for five I years, said: "This association does not propose to precipitate action . . . Wo have faith in the congress that it will see i that when the railroads are returned within the time specified by the fed oral control act it will be done under plans fair alike to the shipper.-?, the traveling public, labor and to the se curity ow~; rs. And we have enua! faith in the railroad administration that hey will give the congress suf- j ficient time for working them out." "BABY SPECIALS."

MEANS A BIG ADVANCE IN WIRE SERVICE I Postmaster General Burieson Makes Letter Public Telling of History Making Invention. Washington, Dec. 12.?Postmaster General Burieson today made public a letter from Theodore N. Vail, pres ident of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company announcing the invention and development by the techical staff of thes Eell Bell system of a practical system of multiplex tel ephony and telegraphy by the use of which it is now possible to increase many fold the message carrying ca pacity of long telephone and tele graph wires." '?With this new system," said Mr. Vail's letter, "four telephone conver sations over one pair of wires are simultaneously carried in addition le ihe telephone conversation provided by the ordinary methods. Thus, over a single pair of wires a total of five telephone conversations are simul taneously operated, each giving serv ice as good as that provided by the circuit working in the ordinary way. I "A number of years ago, we devel i oped the 'phantom circuit' arrange ment by which three telephone cir cuits are obtained from two pairs of wires. Now by our multiplex methods ! we are enabled to obtain five tele J phone circuits over one pair of wires, j that is, ten simultaneous telephone I conversations from the two pairs of j wires which formerly could be used for only three simultaneous conversations. "In telegraphy as well as in tele phony, sensational rcsulto have been 'attained by the pew system. By com ? billing two telegraph wires into a me I tallic circuit of the type used for tele i phone working and by applying our ! new apparatus and methods to this I metallic circuit, we have enormously ?; increased the capacity of the wires j for telegraph messages without in any {way impairing the quality of telegraph j working. j "The nature of these developments j is such that the desired wires may he j used partly for telephone and partly ! for telegraph. A pair of wires is j available either for five simultaneous j telephone conversations or for 40 si j multaneous telegraph messages or I p illy for one and partly for the oth i er. ! "From the nature of the apparatus fand the methods employed the system j is not particularly advantageous on i short lines either telephone or tele I graph. Oil long lines its application j wiU be extended immediately but its j introduction must necessarily be grad ual on account of the nature of the {apparatus required and the rcarrange j ment and adaptation of the lines } themselves and their associated appa j ratus to the new methods ot work j ing. It is -not tro much to character ize this new system as marking an {epoch in the development of long dis jtan.ee telephony ;ind telegraphy." j Mr. Vail said that an installation of the multiplex telephone system be tween Baltimore and Pittsburgh had been in service for more than a month. "On Monday of this week," he said, ??accompanied by a party of j distinguished government and tele l phone and telegraph officials I made an.inspection of the system at Balti [ more and a test of the service provid ed between Baltimore and Pitts burgh. All of the party were delight ed with the successful working of the new system and the evident skill which had been shown in developing it."

G. B. Lester, of the ' j army intelligence service, in testimony before the senate committee invtsti I gating beer and German propaganda. ! Most of the evidence related to activi ties of Teutonic agents before the L'nUod States entered the war. Capt. Lester declared that an un ? named informant, now interned, told him that the Berlin goVernment, on j July 10, 1014, nearly a month before the war started, called into confer tj Terence about 131 trained and educat ed German propagandists and sent them to all parts of the world, with instructions to prepare for the world war which, they were, told, was about to be precipitated. Thirty-one of these landed in the United States two weeks after hostilities started and became the nucleus for an organization of be tween 200,000 and 300,000 volunteers, mainly German-Americans, who gath i ered information of all kinds and re ported it to German consuls and I agents in hundreds of communities.' William Bayard Hale, a writer for the Hearst newspapers, and formerly confidential secretary of President j Wilson in Mexico, eventually became i head of the publicity branch of the organization thus built up, Capt. Les ter said. The officer also testified that nev.-spapers and writers were influ ; ^nced to promote German propagan da, film plays were produced promot ; ing distrust of Japan and Mexico, a Washington newspaper man was hired to report government secrets to the German headquarters, writers were ; cent to Germany o send back dispatch es praising the German cause and a 'golden book" was circulated through put the United States to get signa tures of American citizens leaning to ward pro-German sympathies. J. J. Dickinson, a newspaper man md former major in the army, was hired at $40 a week to report on con i adential interviews with officials to j German headquarters in New York, j said Capt. Lester. Dickinson claimed ' that he had confidential relations j with cabinet members, that he could j ' get in the back door of the White House" and boasted that he was re sponsible for the notorious leak on the peace note. Capt. Lester declared. I The witness admitted that records j showed Dickinson did have consider I able accurate official information of a confidential nature and gave it to the German representatives. Capt. Lester, continuing his testi mony tomorrow, expects to tell how the German agents tried to stir up ?revolt among American negroes to I serve German purposes. : i The intensive German propaganda efforts had their beginning, Capt. Lester said, in a series of lectures given the chosen agents at Eerlin by representatives of the foreign office and other German government agen cies. Elaborate memoranda were prepared on detailed subjects and, armed with these, thirty-one German agents sailed from Copenhagen for the United States August 4, 1914, ar riving August 15 on the same boat, j with Dr. Heinnerich Albert, paymas I ter of the propaganda forces. The [ on?y ones of the^c men mentioned Ji>y ?Capt. Lester were Dr. Adolph Meck lenburg, Dr. Eris Kraske and Dr. Philip Bonn, all of whom have re turned to Germany. He explained that, for military reasons, other names could not be disclosed. The crronp sent to America, as well as those sent elsewhere, had specific functions laid out for it. One group if the. men was to deal with commer cial matters, anoher with political matters and a third was to specialize in Japanese, Chinese. South American md Mexican relations. The delegation on arriving in this country established headquarters at 1123 Broadway, arrangements having been made in advance, Capt.
