Wltaesaea Testify.
Coupled with the proof brought
forward regarding the Arnold as
strategic point in the I. W. W. plan
of attack, was testimony relative to
the firing from Seminary hill, which
has never been seriously denied by
the defense. Twenty-one witnesses
in all. with two in the uniform of
America, testified regarding the ef
feet of the firing upon the paraders,
and of the shots that came from the
two points.
The day was further marked by the
repeated attempts of George F. Van
derveer, 1. W. W. counsel, to inject
the Issue of capital versus labor Into
the case, and by the reproof adminis
tered by the court. Judge John M.
Wilson, presiding, has ruled that the
issue in the present case is wholly
confined to the guilt or innocence of
the accused men with respect to the
charge of murder.

Dr. A. C. Robinson, who also testi
fied in uniform, was in Grimm's pla
toon and heard the commander of the
Centralia contingent give the order
. to halt and close ranks at the lnter
. section of Second street and Tower
; avenue. At almost the same instant
I shots sounded from the eastward. He
' ran west on Second street and over
his shoulder saw a flash from the
windows of the Avalon hotel.
Down Second street, at the rear of
the co-operative store, he saw one
of the gunmen firing an automatic
pistol. This man, it is held to be
certain, was Wesley Everetts, who
killed Dale Hubbard while resisting
capture and who was himself lynched.

the 1. W. W., Harry R. Gardiner, a
cement worker, took the stand for
the state this morning and related
the circumstances of his visit to the
Centralia I. W. W. hall on noon of
Armistice day, when he accompanied
Klmer Smith, attorney, now one of
the 11 defendants in the murder trial
Ip progress here.
"I met Elmer Smith at noon." tes
tified Gardiner. "We went to the
1. W. W. hall between 1:30 and !
o'clock, probably 45 minutes before
the shooting.
Me la Rail Are Named.
"There were present in the hall at
that time. Britt Smith. Eugene Bar-
nett. Wesley Everetts, and several
others whom I did not know. I was
acquainted with Barnett; had worked
with him.
"Elmer Smith asked Britt if he was
ready for the raid, and Britt said he
was always ready. They went to a
bench in the rear of the hall and
entered Into conversation."
Gardiner was asked by W. H. Abel,
special prosecutor, if he could de-
I scribe the hat Barnett wore. One off
I the fleeing riflemen, who was seen
to emerge from the alley at the rear
of the Avalon, had been described Dy
a previous witness as wearing a large
hat, of cowboy style.
"He had on a large black hat," an
swered Gardiner, "with ' the crown
-smashed np to a peak and with a
broad brim."
Barnett Is Identified.
Before the witness and Elmer
Smith left the hall. Gardiner testi
fied. Barnett went out. He Identified
Barnett as one of the defendants
present in court.
Asked if he recognized Ray Becker
as one of the men in the hall, Gardiner
answered that the resemblance was
strong, but that he would not swear
that Becker was the same man.
The witness also. testified that, some
days after the shooting, he was visit
ed by Rev. T. T. Edmonds, one of the
secret investigators employed by the
defense.
On cross-examination by George F.
Vanderveer. I. W. W. counsel, Gardi
ner said that he has been a member
of the radical organization for two
years. He had attended several meet
ings in Centralia and had seen various
papers ana propaganda of the 1. W.
W. None of these, he testified, had
counseled violence or the destruction
of property.
He had no knowledge of any Im
pending raid, save when he heard it
mentioned by Elmer Smith in conver
sation with Britt Smith, tboifgh he
had read references in newspapers to
action toward ridding Centralia of the
L W. W.
"I read in the papers that they were
planning to get the I. W. W. out of
Centralis," testified Gardiner, "but 1
didn't know what the method was."
John E. Watt of Centralia, one of
the legionaries wounded during the
attack, was recalled for further cross
examination.
In previous questioning Vander
veer had sought to show that Watt
was shot by Wesley Everetts, on Sec

other tack. When the firing opened.

Isn't it the fact," asserted Vander
veer, that you were shot while op
posite the I. W. W. hall?"
Absolutely no," answered the
witness.
Burt G. Clark. Seattle attorney and
expert on ballistics, was recalled by
the state. He testified with respect
to the bullet that struck the sedan
car owned by A. R. Frlsbie of Cen
tralia. when parked at the southwest
corner of Second and Tower.
Several employes of the Eastern
mill testified that they heard the
firing from Seminary hill, just south
of the mill where they were at work.
Among these were Byron Epperson.
William Ryan, J. O. Imsb and Bardine
Frye. The last two testified to find
ing suitcase, field glasses and coat on
the summit of Seminary hill.
W. H. Tooley. Centralia. testified
that while unloading a car on the
tracks east of Tower avenue he heard
a number of shots fired from the hill
and later saw three men leaving the
hill in a southeasterly direction.
From the railroad tracks, testified
O. B. Farrell, foreman of a Nortnern
Pacific extra gang, he heard shots
from the hill wnizz overhead. A few
minutes later he saw three men run
ning in an easterly direction. Ail
three had rifles.
Most of these witnesses were not
cross-examined by the defense except
in an occasional attempt to show that
they did not belong to unions, and
that the Eastern mill is an open-shop
industry.

Economic Growth Causes War,
One who has followed the relations
of nations In history and whose judg
ment is not dimmed by popular phrases
must, if he examines the causes of
the world war once more, come to the
following conclusion: The enormous
economic development of Germany in
the last decades made it a dangerous
competitor of England. This fact, I lr.A
with the logical necessity, was bound
to lead to harsh controversy..
By the right policy on Germany a
part, however, as I believe, ways
might have been found to come, per
haps by peaceful and fair means, to
an agreement with England, either
through a military alliance or great
business agreements. The German
government did not want this war.
History will show this clearer. But
German diplomacy did not understand
how to eliminate an ever-increasing
opposition which automatically had
lead to the world war.
The following study which I hereby
make public will not deal with the
problems of large policy. The world
war did take place and thereon noth-
nit can be altered, W hat I undertake
to describe is the soul and individ
uality of the man at the front, who
four and a half years long, under the
greatest privations, endured the hard'
est nhvsical test ever imposed on i
human being. These men in the steel
helmet, cut off from all kultur, hourly
looking death in the face, who fought
for their fatherland, bled and died
whether the black, white and red or
the tri-color or the union jack waved
over them these were soldiers ana
did their duty without asking why,
Criticism la Resented.
In the ranks of the Prussian army
voices were not lacking who said that
nnr exercising took up too much
space in the two years' training and
that too little value was placed on
modern combat training. That may
appear to a. certain degree justified.
Without harming the principle that a
soldier's training' must rest on good
exercising, many rules of the drill
lations might best be left out.
Therewith in the last years before the
war a systematic beginning had been
made. In any case, it was exag
gerated when on many sides it was
said that in the army there was noth
ing out "" from Australia.
wnoAver trained a cuinptmjr ...
neace time can judge what a good
school the old army was for Ger
mans. Even regarded from the ex
terior, who ever saw 70 raw recruits
before their enrollment in a com
pany and saw them again after one
year of training would hardly be
lieve that they were the same peo
ple. Body had developed, the re
cruits had good self-conscious bear-
ng. looked healthy and fresh, ana
despite the strenuousness of the serv- Father
ice had mostly gained consiaerame
weight. When such young fellow
went out Sundays in his trim uni
form, one could see the pride in his
face over what had been made of him
in one year of training.
French Army Is Kxamplc
Photographs too furnish docu
mentary evidence. Photographs oi
French troops drawn up for review
during the last years of the war show
an astonishingly good bearing, align
ment and the holding of rifles in con
tradiction to such photographs dating
from the first period of the war, since
the French army in peace time had
attached only small value to such
matters.
The punishments Inflicted for viola
tions of discipline in the French army
during the. war were very consid
erably harsher and sharper than in
the German army. The tactics forming
the basis of the training of our army Vancouver
rested essentially on the .principle of
emphasizing in every leader and out
fit the attacking idea. The tactical
defensive on the other hand took a
back seat.

Members of the newly formed for

evening for the first banquet and

foreign trade topics occupied the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. Laying
aside Its legislative business, the sen
ate, by unanimous consent, took up
the treaty of Versailles again today
and resumed in all its vigor the rati
fication debate Interrupted last No
vember.
The opening gun in the new phase
of the fight was fired by the treaty's
irreconcilable foes. Senator McCor-
mick of Illinois reopening the discus'
sion with a speech bitterly assailing
many provisions of the document and
counseling tbe republican leaders not
to consent to further compromise.
He wag followed by Senator He-
Cumber, who flayed the heads of
both parties for their failure to com
promise and declared that "child's
play obstinacy" alone stood' in the
way of ratification.
Drawn into the debate by charges
of the North Dakota senator. Senator
Hitchock asserted that the democrats
already had "abandoned" their pre
vious stand and had offered a com
promise, but that the republicans
were demanding nothing short of
complete democratic surrender.
' Old Debates Revive.
Once it got under way, the debate
speedily revived the whole scale of
issues which the senate had debated
from last May to November. The sub
ject technically under consideration,
a motion by Senator Lodge to modify
tne republican reservation on with
drawal, was not mentioned until late
in the day, when Mr. Lodge took the
floor to explain briefly his reasons
for moving for the change.
When the debate was reopened the
private negotiations for a compro
mise apparently passed into the dol
drums and some of the treaty's most
active friends on both sides of the
chamber predicted that there probably
would be no settlement until discus
sion on the floor had spent itself.
Acting under an agreement with
democratic, leaders. Senator Lodge
asked unanimous consent that the
treaty be taken up and then present
ed the first of the proposed reserva
tion changes he made public last
week. His amendment would nake
the withdrawal reservation stipulate
that notice of withdrawal from mem
bership in the league of nations could
be given "by the president or by con
gress, acting alone whenever the ma
jority of both houses may deem it
necessary." In the original draft, the
notice might be given "by a concur
rent resolution of the congress of the
United States."
Hitchcock Indicates Opposition.
The modification was proposed,
said the majority leader, because the
reservation as previously worded
would be "wholly ineffective" in per
mitting a majority of congress to
take the nation out of the league.
Although considered by the bi-par
tisan conference, the modification was
not agreed . on there and Senator
Hitchcock indicated that he and many
other democrats expected to vote
against it.
Most senators were inclined to be
lieve that it might be several days
before action was reached on any pro
posals to modify the 14 republican
reservations as adopted at the last
session of congress.

long, and with a head similar to that

Mayor Baker was back on the job
yesterday. Looking none the worse
because of his illness, the chief execu
tive of the city delved into a stack of
papers, signed them, listened to the
messages of a score of persons who
appeared at his office early in the
morning, and called a special meet
ing of the city council in the after
noon, so that matters delayed might
be taken from the councU table.
Reports that the council had decid
ed to abandon the plan of construct
ing the contagion hospital aroused
his ire, which was appeased some
what when the mayor found that his
colleagues were quite willing to favor
the hospital construction if his honor
could1 devise the means of raising the
funds.
Chief of Police Jenkins, who has
been ill with smallpox, also appeared
for work yesterday, and held a long
conference with Mayor. Baker late
yesterday afternoon discussing, po- j
lice matters. It is expected that lar
more activity will be seen at the city
hall now. as it is generally conceded
that Mayor Baker s presence is neces
sary "to start the baa a-rouing.
