PULLAR & NIVEN BERLIN QUIET WHILE LIEBKNECHT ARGUES A Socialist Leader Harangues Crowd in Face of Machine Guns e Berlin, Dec. 8, (By the Associated Press.)—Eager to make members of the Spartacus party martyrs as the result of Friday's rioting, Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the leader of this faction, lost no time in staging a spectacular open air meeting at the Tiergarten 1ast night. His call for the meeting brought forth 4,000 munition workers who had “responded to the demand for a gener- “auditors was flanked on all sto al walkout. These men and women marched through Unter den Linden to the Tiergarten until they reached the point where the Avenue of Victory intersects the Charlottenburger Chausse. There Dr. Liebknecht mounted the base of one of the granite statues erected in honor of the Hohenzollerns and made an ad- dress. The semi-circle of Dr. Liebknacht's sides by guns mounted on motor trucks. Dr. Liebknecht harangued the crowd, indicating Friedric Ebert, the premier; Philip Scheidemann and other ** r socialists” of complicity in rioting. He called upon the masses organize red guards and beat off the attacks of counter revolutionists. At a late hour tonight Berlin was absolutely quiet. It is estimated by the Tageblatt that the number of deserters that Berlin is feeding ex- ceeds 60,000.

South-Fnd and ;North-End Residents Both Want Fire Stations. 1t is probable that at the next meet- ing of the common council petitions will be presented asking for the erec- tion of two fire stations, One of these will be asked for the southwestern part of the clty and another for the Stanley Quarter section. The residents of the First ward have been seeking the erection of a fire house in that | part of the city for the past 10 years. | At one time there was a provision in the city charter which authorized the borrowing of money for this purpose, but it was not taken advantage of and therefore the authority lapsed. In view of the fact that the erection of the two stations is being agitated now, it is possible that if the agita- tion is strongly urged provision may be made in the charter amendments to- accomplish it. There is a feeling, however, that the erection of a sta- tion in the southwestern section of the | city is all that can be expected next vear. CAMP DICK TURNS OUT 25,000 FLYERS Is Largest Aviation Concentration Camp In the Country—Located In Texas. Dallas, Tex., Dec. 25,000 flyers have woa their “wings” at Camp Dick, the greatest aviation concentration camp in the United States, since Januar; This was re- vealed for the first time in figures made avallable by the end of the war. The Dallas camp, while neither a ground school nor a flying school, 8.—More than practically all aviators who have en- tered the service since its establish- ment, January 30, 1918, have passed. It was designed as a place in which the morale of the aviators could be maintained while the men were in transition from one stage of develop- ment to another. Men came to it from the five chief ground schools, Princeton, Cornell and the Te Illinois and California universities. The length of their stay depended upon the room available in the flying fields to which they were sent as soon as possible. Unless they could be sent direct to the advanced flying fields, they were kept at Camp Dick to await assignment. Thus the men were able to keep up their studies in a military atmosphere dur- ing periads when they could not be cared for at the schools. The success of the plan is shown by figures of the men enrolled. Since the camp’s opening there have been registered 7.908 flying officers, 321 non-flving officers, 49 medical officers, 18,066 flying cadets, two enlisted tachment of 90 men and a quarter- master's detachment of 15 men.

Paris, Dec. 9.—Nine French pris- aners were shot by the Germans and fifteen other prisoners seriousiy wounded at the prison camp in Lang- ensalza, Prussian Saxony, the Spanish ambassador at Berlin reports. The behavior of the prisoners did not in the least justify the severity of this act of repression, it was declared. The French government, it {s fhdi cated, 1s resolvdd to demand repara- tion for this act of the Germans which will be added to the already long list of occurrences of this and similar nature. It was reported in a Paris dispatch Thursday that incidents of ‘“ser ous gravity” had occurred within tho last fow days in a prison camp in Saxony where the allied soldiers were confined, and the allied governments were said to have decided to act ener- getically in this cannection. It was apparently this incident which gave rise to the report printed in the North German Gazette of Berlin that allied occupation was to be extended even temporarily to Berlin, the reason giv- en in this report being a ‘“regrettable incident during which a supervisor of of a prisoner’s camp shot three Frenchmen.” GERMAN UNITED STATES Eventual ‘Will Be Republican in Form, Scheidemann Predicts. of Government in Germany Phiip London, Dec. 9.—William Hohen- lzonem has been sufficiently punished, but it is essential that his part in causing the war should be clearly es- tablished, says Philip Scheidemann the former German secretary of finance and colonies, in an interview published by the Expre: He said | the establishment of a state tribunal to try all persons guilty of causing the war is now being discussed but must be decided upon by the national assembly. | Scheidemann, according to the Ex- press, said further that Dr. W. S. Solf, foreign minister, remains in the government because it is believed he | has the confidence of Great Britain | and America. The eventual government Germany will have will be republican in form, “a United States of Germany,” Herr Scheidemann predicted. BEVERETT D. SCHANTZ If « name of Private Everett D.

He said it was like home coming. He gave Colonel Eckert a flag which he had been carrying in his roll of bedding. He said it was to be used in the flag rais- ing when hostilities stopped. A few minutes later he started out across a clearing and a shell struck him. He was instantly killed. He was worshipped by division. A casket of oak far him lined with an army blanket. Another blanket was folded and used as a pillow. The flag that he gave Colonel Eckert and which was to e been used in a fiag raising cere was draped over the caskpt. He was buried the next day with' one of the most imposing of cer- emonies. An army mule, which had been a chaplain’s, drew the sket. The chaplain's horse was led by an order- ly to the burying ground. The stir- rups were reversed and the regimen- tal band trailed, playing the dead march. The clergyman who officiated at the grave was Rev. George S. L. Connor, also of Holyoke, and now a senior chaplain with the Third army of oc- cupatio He was a classmate Chaplain Davitt at Holy Cross college in Worcester, Mass. Both men uated in 1907. KEach had heard other was in France and had sought cach other for weeks. They finally met just a couple of weeks before Chaplain Davitt was killed. Chaplain Davitt was cited for brav- ery on August 6 during the operations along the Vesle river. Learning that 40 wounded Americans were cut off in a ravine he called for volunteers and led a rescuing party through a hail of machine gun bullets. The party res- cued every one of the wounded and not a member of the rescuing party was hit. SEEKING FUNDS FOR THE PEOPLE’S TREE the entire was made olive drab the Mrs. J. A.

This morning Mrs. Traut con- ferred with Mayor Quigley concern- ing the matter and met with his hearty approval. The ‘city will send the eason's greeting to those soldiers who are in the cantonments here and to all the boys who are still overseas. The sailor Jads will not be forgotten and whether at some port in the United States or somewhere on the | high seas they will recelve the same mes! of greeting from the city. The idea of sending such a messago occurred to Mrs. Traut when thought of the possible delays which the Christmas packages will meet with.
