There was no disorder. The principal speaker was Wiscon? sin's unseated Congressional Repre? sentative, Victor Berger, out on bail pending the result of his appeal from the sentence by Federal Judge K. M. Landis of twenty years' imprisonment for violations of the espionage act. Another speaker was Seymour Sted? man, of Chicago, chief counsel for the defence in the trials of five Socialist farty leaders in Chicago. Others were Municipal Court Judge Jacob Panken. Charles W. Ervin, editor of "The"New York Call," and Albert Rhys Williams, Mthor of several sympathetic pam? phlets about Bolshevism that have been ?published by the Rand School. * Patriotism and Profits Berger was cheered and applauded Srhen he said: "To our ruling class, capitalism and Americanism mean the same thing, and patriotism and profits mean the same thinR. That is the reason why the ?greatest profiteers are invariably the /greatest patrioteers. "You know that during the war most jpf these gentlemen in the forenoon twere doilar a year patriots, in which ?capacity they handed out contracts to ?Jheir firms. In the afternoon, in their capacity a3 business men, they filled ?hese contracts. So much for the pa? triots. "The Socialist understood at the out? break of the war what everybody un? derstands now?namely, that this war in the main was a struggle between the ruling class of England and the ruling ciass of Germany for the con? trol of the world's trade?and the rul? ing clas? of our country, being closely allied by ties of blood and business With the ruling class of England, nat? urally sided with England from the very first day the world war com? menced in 1914. Hypocrisy and Humbug "All the rest was hypocrisy and hum? bug. And one of the biggest humbug? ?nd most contemptible lies is the phrase that 'this war was fought to Bake the world safe for democracy.' " At this point Mr. Berger was again interrupted by cheers. "Nobody thought of that phrase in ?14, at the beginning of the world *?i*. and nobody thinks of it now when w i? ended. It was simply used to ?reate enthusiasm two and three years ?fo among gullible Americans." Referring to the trial and conviction *f himself and four other leaders of tae Socialist party, Mr. Berger said: "The five men found guilty by jury w Chicago were to be sent to prison *n account of an alleged conspiracy to Interfere with the armed forces of the United States?at least the indictment Mid so. "We were found guilty because the capitalist class fear? Socialism and **nts to make use of war hysteria to P*t the Socialist party out of busi B**s." No Germans on Jury H*.

Investigation by the military authorities to-day failed to reveal the identity of the person who fired three shots Thursday night at the house in Cohlenz occupied by Brigadier General Malin Craig, chief of staff of the 3d Army. It is said the nam? of General Craig is third on the German secret list of marked Americans. Lost Baby Is Found; 2 Held As Kidnappers Woman in 130th Street Hears Wails of Child and Reports to Mother; Police at Once Act on Clew Six-weeks-old Olva Arne Koskinen was restored to his parents last night, and their refusal, despite the per? suasive efforts of the police, to identify other infants as their own was vindi? cated by the arrest of a woman and a man charged with kidnapping Olva. The prisoners are Mrs. Carmela Mar zano and Joseph di Nicola, of 111 East 130th Street. The police believe ma? ternal yearning inspired the kidnap? ping. There was no hesitancy displayed by Arne and Annie Koskinen when the indubitable Olva was offered for their inspection. One glance, and the mother sprang for the child with her arms outstretched. Olva gurgled in re? sponse, then set up a faint wailing at the constriction of the arms that em? braced him. Neighbor Told Her Word that an unexplained baby had appeared in the East 130th Street house reached Mrs. Koskinen last night at her home, 211 West 146th Street. It came from a neighbor of Mrs. Marzano, who said the woman's husband had been killed in action in France and that her grief for him was intensified by the knowledge that she would have no child to bear his name. For more than a week, Mrs. Mar 7ano's neighbor continued, the wailing of a baby had come from the child? less home. Mrs. Koskinen and her husband lost no time in reporting the new clew to the police. Lieutenant Enright, of the East 126th Street police station, as? signed, without too much faith in the story, two detectives to accompany the couple to the East 130th Street house. There the reunion and the arrests took place. Mrs. Marzano is twenty-six year3 old. Di Nicola is twenty-five years old and employed as a cutter. He is accused of being Mrs. Marzano's accomplice. Unable to Pay Ransom The Koskinen baby vanished under circtfmstances that appeared inexpli? cable from the first, except upon the supposition that some one with a jeal? ous hunger for others' children had followed Mrs. Koskinen upon her fate? ful shopping excursion three weeks ago. The Koskinens were humble folk. They had no enemies. They were not in a position to pay a ransom for their child. The police worked upon the theory that some child-hungry, perhaps demented, woman had walked off with Olva, as has happened before with babies left unguarded in the street. ? The same night that the Koskinen child was reported missing a baby about the same unidentifiable age ?vas found in the railroad station at Long Island City. Convinced that they had found Olva, abandoned by his erratic captor, the police summoned Mrs. Koskinen. One look was enough to satisfy her that the child was not Olva. Later an in? fant was found in South Norwalk, Conn., whose general description cor? responded to that Mrs. Koskinen had given of her child. The police were vrgent in their requests to her to examine this new find with great care, and appeared only naif-convinced at Mrs. Koskinen's prompt repudiation of the baby. The identification last night was rendered doubly certain to police reasoning by the fact that the cloth? ing of the baby fount' in the East 130th Street house was similar to that which Olva Koskinen had worn when he started his mysterious journey. Mrs. Marzano wept at mirreridering the infant. She claimed it was her own, born May 22, one day before Olva Koskinen vanished. She could not tell the police the name of the physician who attended her and the police de? clared the vital statistics of the' city did not record the birth of a child at that time to Mm.. Marzano.

Says Burleson Makes U. S. Pay for Strike Thomas, Telegraphers' Leader, Says People Must Stand Cost No Matter How Bad Tie-up Postoffice Head Bitterly Scored Charge Made That Feder? al Power Is Invoked to Aid in Crushing Labor The United States government will be obliged to bear any loss which may result from the nation-wide wire strike, called for day after to-morrow, Percy Thomas, deputy international president ; of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union, declared here last night. Attacking Postmaster General Burle son, who, he said, returned the operat- ! ing control of the wires to their own- ? ers because he feared a strike and j "preferred to have it take place under the auspices of the companies, so that ? it wouldn't hurt the Democratic admin- ? istration," Mr. Thomas pointed out that, under existing financial arrange- S ments, the guarantees the government ! is bound to give the companies would "reimburse them for any ioss they may ; sustain by virtue of the strike." Says United States Pays Cost "In other words, the government pays the cost of crushing labor," said Mr. Thomas. "Mr. Burleson, who has j worked hand-in-hand with the Vail Carlton interests, hands them back the I wires so that they can fight labor'as! hard as they wish at the expense of the I government." Under the present arrangement the \ government pays all operating and ! maintenance expenses of the com- ! panies, as well as interest on bonds, and is'pledged to compensate the West? ern Union Company with $8,000,000 an? nually, a sum sufficient to enable the company to pay 7 per cent interest on .its capital stock and t? expend $1,000, 000 for wire extensions. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company was guaranteed approximately $65,000,000 annually, which will enable it to pay 8 per cent on its stock. The Postal system was awarded $1,680,000 an? nually, which it is now contesting as inadequate and confiscatory. The fore? going figures were furnished last night by William J. Deegan, of the Postal system. Incomes Assured The companies are assured these in? comes, no matter what tie-up mav en? sue, Mr. Thomas said, adding: "If the Western Union system goes dead for three months, the government would still provide the company with its guarantees, thus giving it funds with which to fight labor." The union official attacked Mr. Burleson's administration of the wires, declaring that under the Postmaster General "government operation never had a chance," and that "men opposed to public ownership were put in charge of the wires by a man professing be? lief in government ownership." Government messages, general public business and newspaper dispatches, Mr. Thomas declared, were delayed "to the limit of the day" under Mr. Burleson's r?gime, adding that if good wages and proper treatment had been given wire employes excellent service could have been furrfished every day during the war period. Government Pays Bill Mr. Thomas's statement follows: "Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Company, says the Commercial Telegraphers' Union has a membership of 710 in the United States. We have more than that num? ber in his main office in New York City. I do not care to state how many members we have in the Eastern sec? tion, which includes New York and the New England states, but prefer to abide by Mr. Carlton's famous phrase, 'Timo will tell.' "The union appreciates exactly why Mr. Burleson last week returned operating control of the wires to Mr. Carlton. He feared a strike would tako place and wanted it to take place un? der the auspices of the Western Union company, so it wouldn't hurt the Democratic Administration. Incident? ally, the government pays the Western Union ?guarantees, reimbursing it for any loss it may sustain by virtue of this very strike. This is true of all the, wire systems. The government pays the cost of crushing labor. "Mr. Burleson, who has been work? ing hand-in-hand with the Vail-Carl ton interests, hands them back the wires so they can fight labor as hard as they wish at the expense of the government. "Under his recent order the wire operating board is abolished, and of course the men operating that board will go back to their remunerativo snaps with.the various companies. But the wire control board will continue, The men on this board are Mr. Bur? leson's. friends. "Government operation never had a chance.

This sum, he says, which will com? plete the work of raising the United States as a shipbuilding nation to first place in the world and develop the American mercantile marine fleet from a negligible quantity to second place, actually is $400,000,000 less than Con? gress already has authorized. The present needs of the shipbuild? ing programme, as Chairman Hurley outlines them, take into consideration the cancellation or suspension of con? tracts for 754 ships, which alone will effect a saving of more than $594, 000,000. The administration charges of the whole business -will be only 1.32 per cent of the total final expenditure. $2,861,755,570 Expenditure When all is done, Chairman Hurley points out in a letter to Chairman Good of the House Appropriations Committee, $2,861,755,570 will have been expended in the country's great effort, which will be shown in 13,385, 106 dead-weight tons of ships on ?he seas. Although a cost, of S206 a dead? weight ton is indicated, the actual cost to the government will ba less for the reasons he outlines, r>.s follows: "Some shipbuilders have paid into the United States Treasury income and excess profits taxes aggregating $40 a dead-weight ton on the vessels they have constructed. Others l:a"e paid the equivalent of $30. It is esti? mated that at least $25 a dead-weight ton has been returned to the Treasury in this manner by all shipbuilders. This does not include any taxes. When multiplied by 13,885,106 dead-weight tons it indicates a rebate of $347,127, Continued on page six President to Visit Belgium, Return to See Foe Sign, Then Board Ship Broekdorff at Parley Again j Clemenceau Likely to Compromise With Lloyd George PARIS, June 8 (By The Associated Press.)-President Wilson, it is now regarded as probable, will leave France for the United States within ten days or two weeks. The council of four, with Premier Orlando of Italy absent, held another short session at the "White House" this morning on the reply to the Ger? man counter proposals While no agreement has been reached by the Allies on the reply to the coun? ter proposals, it is believed that M. Clemenceau and Premier Lloyd George will come to an understanding before the end of the week, perhaps Wednes? day or Thursday. Reports Expected To-day Nearly all the commissions to which v/ere intrusted consideration of the different German proposals are ready to report, and, it is expected, will turn in their conclusions to-morrow. After the adoption of a general report by the council, it is believed that a compromise will be reached on the time to be given the Geirrnnr. cc de? cide upon whether they will sign the treaty. It is known that M.

Peace Secrecy Made Joke in Paris; Newspaper Prints Text of Treaty New York Tribune Special Cable Service (Copyright. 1919, New York Tribune Inc.) T>ARIS, June 8.?Adoption by the United States Senate of the resolution demanding the full text of the peace treaty is similar to the action taken by the French Parliament. The government refused to comply with the request, and at first the refusal was taken calmly. However, the matter has now taken on the aspect of a joke, since cheap editions of the treaty, some of which are of German origin, are sold freely in Switzerland and Scandinavia. The climax came when the witty evening paper "Bon Soir" ob? tained a copy of the treaty, printed the whole French text, and for? warded a complete set of galley proofs to each Senator and Deputy with a letter begging the recipient "not to communicate the contents to any Frenchman." While the officials of both houses were afraid to confiscate the proofs, they were anxious that none should go astcay, and personally delivered them to the members. California Home Bought for Wilson McAdoo Is Said to Have Purchased 30-Acre Site Near Santa Barbara Special Correspondence SANTA BARBARA, Cal., June 8.? Woodrow Wilson's "History of the Great War" will be written at Santa Barbara, according to present indica? tions. The President is expected to start work on the stupendous task, which is to include also a story of the writing of the peace treaty and the formation of a league of nations, soon after he retires from pubjic life. Basis for these conclusions lies in the reported purchase here on a recent visit by William G. McAdoo, fermer Secretary of the Treasury and son-in law of the President, of a thirty-acre tract on a hillside overlooking the city and the sea and commanding an un? obstructed view of towering Mount La Cumbre to the east. The consideration is reported as $60,000. It is said that Mr. McAdoo will oversee the development of the site, which will be divided into two estates, one for Mr. Wilson aiid the other for Mr. McAdoo. It was understood that the erection of two houses and the de? velopment of rhe estates would be so timed that they would be ready for occupancy by the time the President shifts his mantle to his successor. Wilhelm Likely To Escape Trial, Envoys Think Punishment of Ex-Kaiser Is Dead Issue and Will Remain So, in Opinion of American Delegates New York Tribune Special Cable Service (Copyright, 1919, New TorK Tribune Inc.) PARIS, June 8.?The American dele? gates to the peace conference belie'/e punishment of the former German Kaiser has become a dead issue and will remain so, provided Herr Hohen zollern continues in his role as gentle? man gardener at Amerongen, Holland, and no movement is 3et on foot in Germany to replace him as the head I of the empire. i Meanwhile, the E'cert government is ? taking part?cula- pains to soothe the fears of the Alii23 in regard to tho latter contingency. A wireless from Berlin on Wodi usday said no member of the former Kaiser's entourage had returned to Germany. Little news concerning the former Kaiser reaibes taris except that he is busy writing his memoirs and strolling around the grounds which have become his prison. There ?.re so many more vexi::j is? sues before the peace conference that the former German ruler has dropped from siyht. In French circles Wilhelm is regarded as an historical relic of the war, as unimportant as a political factor as was Nauoleon on the Island of St. Helena. The more canny British, with the memory cf Napoleon at Elba still in mind, are keeping an eye on the Prus? sian ; c Amerongen. Even in British circles, however, there is no inclina? tion to stir up trouble, with a possi? bility of making Wilhelm popular in Germany again by forcing the issue with Holland in regard to his extra? dition. Kaiser Sawed 77 Trees Into Logs in One Day Total Record to May 14 Was 3,000 Trees; Last One Was Cut Into Blocks for Souvenirs AMERONGEN. May 31 (Correspond? ence of The A? ociated Press). Sev? enty-seven trees cut into logs in one day is the bes', record attained by William HohenzoMern since his flight into Holland and his semi-imprison? ment in the castle of Amerongen. Will? iam II completed on May 14 the Rawing of 3,000 trees. The last of these was cut into about thirty small blocks, which were taken to the ex-Kaiser's apartments in the castle and there marked bv his own ha:-.d with the date of the occurrence. On this occasion, as when the one thousandth and two thousandth trees were cut, blocks were presented ns souvenirs to several members of the suite and to the workmen in the castle garden, who help arrange the trees for sawing. Most of the remaining blocks were then packed in a case and sc^t off to Germany for distribution among those who have remained true to the memory of their former ruler. French Will Try Cavell Betrayer PARIS, June 8.--Gaston Quien, also known as Luc, who, it is believed, played a prominent part in the betray? al of Mihs Edith Cavell, executed by tho GekU.-fis at Brussels in October, 1915, will be placed on trial next month. A long preliminary inquiry conduct? ed by Captain Grebault, of the 0th Military Court, established that Quien was serving a sentence in the jail at St. Quentin in 1914 and was liberated when the Germans first took the town. It is said that he entered the German service as a spy and obtained employ? ment in Miss Ca veil's hospital at Brus? sels. Soon after he began work, it in alleged, Miss Cavell was arrested and executed. Quien was afterward sent to Switzerland as an invalid. Sixty witnesses have been called to testify in '.he trial.

The peasants, according to the ad? vices, gathered a small army, num? bering a few thousand, armed with rifles, axes, scythes and similar weapons, against which a Red divi? sion was sent. The peasants were surrounded. Kdlnhof was shelled. Then machine guns were turned against it on Thursday and Friday nights. A majority of those fleeing from the burning village were ?hot.
