Four Others Convicted of Sedi tion Draw Similar Sentences -From Judge Landis in Chicago. CHICAGO, Feb. 20 (U. P.) Socialist Congre&sman-elect Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin, convicted of conspiring to violate the espionage act, was sentenced today by Federal Judge Landis to serve 20 years in Leavenworth 6 penitentiary. Four other Socialists convicted with Bergr were also sentenced to 20 years. They are Adolph Germer, national Socialist sec retary; Louis J. Engdahl, editor; Irwin St. John Tucker, speaker and writer; and William F. Kruse, executive secretary Of the So cialist Young Peoples' league. FrUoaer Makes Statement Motions for a new trial and for stay of sentence were denied by Judge Landis. Each of the defendenta asked to make a statement before sentences were pro nounced. The five defendants found guilty of conspiring to violate the espionage act were : The five were Indicted a year ago but were not brought to trial untU the close of 191S, The trial lasted six weeks. Berger, first to speak, said a verdict such as that - against the five defendr ants would be Impossible In any other country except Japan. - - .. "We all admit t&at we are Socialists " said Berger. "Our position was simply that of the international socialist raove icent. N: "Socialists know capitalism cannot last forever any more than the feudal system endured. Denies Gsllt of Conspiracy "We are no more guilty of conspiracy than the judge himself." Berger discussed socialism at length, detailing Its reasons for opposing war. "And it was finally the uprising of the German socialists that virtually ended the world war not any victory of allied troops," - he said. "The allies had a march of almost four weeks after the armistice before they reached tie German frontier. This was a political trial. The So cialist party t was on trial." Berger criticized the jury as "hand picked" by the American Protective league. If he is sent to the penitentiary, Ber ger. said, it would be positive proof that America has taken the place of Russia. In place of healthy 'political opposition. (Concluded on Pas Six, Column Three) Wireless Tells of Crippled Ships Doe at New York With Re turning Soldiers. Xw Tork. Feb. 20. (L N. S.)

Shaniko and The Dalles. There is already a splendid road connecting Prlnevllle and Madras with the exception of one or two grades which, would need reconstruction." Conference Beaches No Decision as to Question of Strike At a late hour this afternoon, dele gates attending the coast-wide confer ence of Metal Trade workers, which Is discussing the Macy agreement and the program to be followed by labor, had reached no decision in the question of a strike. It was pointed out by conferees that the conservative and radical ele ments In the gathering had not been able to get together on a sufficient basis to warrant any test vote on the problem at issue.. ' Wednesday was devoted almost en tirely to perfecting the organization and clearing away the routine for the main decision. 1 It was probable, it was said, that the decision would not be reached today.

" Senators Nelson and King .both char acterized her answers as. "highly imper tinent" and this provoked a sprm at hisses from- hundreds of women sympar thizers who Jammed the .committee room.

In concluding his' testimony v before the committee Wednesday, Colonel S. Hur bsrn, former officer in the Czecho-Slovak army, said Bolshevism is a disease and that the doctrines of the Bolshevists have absolutely . nothing: to do with Jus tice or honesty. According to Colonel Hurban. 99 per cent of the Bolshevist leaders have been paid German agents, and all criminals in Russia have flocked to their ranks. The Czech o-Slovaks were betrayed by the Bolshevikis, Colonel Hurban said, and Trotsky ordered their army to be disorganized. The witness testifies that the workmen and peasants of Russia are not the Bolshevists, but most of the Bolsheviki are now Letts, Magyars and Chinese. r Colonel Hurban asserted that "What John Reed and Albert Rhys Williams said about the United States is a lie."; Carl Ackerman, correspondent and magazine writer, told the committee that the Bolshevists while "very strong In Si beria, did not have the political power there. .

He came to London two weeks ago to aid in reconstruc tion work of the present parlia ment. He delayed his departure, planned for today, because of the seriousness of the labor situation. Paris, Feb. 20.Tir"N. S.) Represent atives of the "Big Five" powers have agreed to admit .Danish delegates to the peace conference to state their claims for the return of Schleswlg-Holsteln to Denmark from Germany. This is part 'of an important territorial program which has just been concluded. In addition, the representatives of Albania were heard and their claims were formally made. Representatives of General Pllsudskl and Premier Paderewskt of Poland made formal request that, the new government of Poland be recognized. The following formal communique was Issued on the consideration of Rouma nian territorial claims: "The . commission for the study of Roumanian territorial questions met Wednesday at 3 p. m., under the chair manship of M. Andre Tardleu. and con tinued the discussion of the claims of Roumania." The ' following message has been" re ceived from John Bass, at Warsaw, a niember of the mission to Poland : .'.'Recommendation is made by the lnter-alfled mission to Poland to the peace . conference that the armistice of February- 17 should contain provisions fixing more definitely the status of the eastern war zone. The most important features are the Posen area and regu lation of communication and transporta tion through Dantzig. In Posen it Is necessary that -the line should be defi nitely fixed as regards German and Polish occupation. Allied control should be established to prevent further armed conflict. So far it has been impossible to secure a landing at Posen for the transportation of food into Poland. It Is understood here that the allied mis sion is in favor of furnishing not only food to Poland, but money for the es tablishment of a permanent government. Immediate action on this matter seems imperative, especially in view of the Bolshevik activities. It Is reported on good authority that the Jewish element of. the population has received large sums of money to act 'as agents for the Bolsheviki. There Is also great need for machinery in the manufacturing towns in order that the population ' may go to work. Only a small amount of machin ery is needed, as the Germans removed only the essential parts." LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY Salem. Feb. 20.

Little General, Five Times Gassed, Whispers Denial to Charges Made by Governor Allen. . Gallant Men Take Positions Sought for Three Years; He Explains Actual Conditions. Washington. Feb. 20. (1. N. S.) His voice hardly above a whisper, the result of five times . being gassed in the Ar gonne forest. Major General Peter B. Traub, commanding officer of the Thirty-fifth division in the .Argonne attack, covered his troops with glory, at the same time denying charges of neglect and Inefficiency, when he ap peared before the house rules commit tee today. "Why. gentlemen." said the little gen eral, his eyes gleaming, "if you'd seen those gallant men take In three hours a deadly position which for three years, the French had failed to take, you'd be waving your hats at this very minute." The unwinding of the story was fre quently Interrupted by the general's voice breaking and members of the com mittee waited on him, constantly bring ing him glasses of water. He denied the statement of Governor Allen of Kansas, who has charged that the casualties would total 7000. The general put them at 5000 killed and 4500 wound ed, most of them slightly. "General Grant," said Traub, "lost 10.000 men in 10 minutes At Cold Har bor and didn't gain anything. Our losses, considering the operation, were comparatively small and we did gain a mighty important position. The French had failed for three years, with heavy losses, to take the position from the Boche." Allen's charge that wounded were al lowed to lay on the fields for from 24 to 36 hours was. marterlally qualified by the general. "Mr. Allen wasn't up in the battle area ; he was five or six kilometers be hind my front line. I had sent him back with his TP secretaries and he con sented. ' ' '.There were many Boche sympathisers among the French civilians behind our ilues.v people who-r had been under the German rule for years and we couldn't,- take -any chances with. 'them. One T. M. C. A, secretary once did carry back an important tip. He did it inno cently." ' (. : XfS., " ". - . ."a , ' Traub denied that the Bbche domi nated the air. "I never signaled ; for planes that I didn't get them." he said. "We did have to leave our wounded on the field during the day," Traub con tinued, "but we gathered them in at night. We worked like hounds. We couldn't gather them in during the day, for it would have meant the death not only of the wounded men. but also to the streatcher-bearers who would carry him."

Brest may not be the best military base In the world, but Is far from the worst. In the. opinion of of ficers and men permanently stationed here. ' An investigation, conducted under such circumstances as the situation will permit, failed to substantiate charges that Brest is a "pest hole" or that the men are victims of mismanagement- - It is true that, in common with much of Western France, there is a super-abundance of mud, but this ts due to climatic and geological conditions. This could not be avoided, as Brest was selected as a base because of strategic and geographical reason a Reports of shock ing food and sanitary conditions' are unfounded, according to the Inhabitants of the camp themselves.. .

The Ohio dis trict wltn 40 clubs furnished a smaller attendance than this Northwest district with eight clubs." Mayor Extesds Welcome Mayor George L. Baker, welcoming the Northwesterners, gave to the 1000 delegates what their cheers and applause Indicated would be the conference key note: "America for Americans!" he ex claimed. "We have ships In plenty to remove to far distant' shores the breed that endeavored to start revolution and anarchy in Seattle and would have done so had It not been for that Man of the Hour, Mayor Ole Hanson. Let's use our ships to. take them away and let's also be careful whom we bring back."
