SOCIALISM IS
ON INCREASE
IN GERMANY
BERLIN, Jan. 14 (by Associated
Press).—The Independent Socialist
party now numbers 750,000 paying
■members, an increase of 700,000 since
March, according to the business re
port submitted by Chairman Dittman.
The party has available a fund of one
million marks and controls fifty-five
newspaper organs.
The convention of the Independents
at Leipzig recently discussed the ques
tion of union with the Majority Social
ists. Numerous delegates favored the
amalgamation, but it was stubbornly
opposed by the leaders and ultra rad
icals.
SOLDIER ELECTED
TO FRENCH CHAMBER
WAS AN EMBEZZLER
PARIS, Jan. 14 (by Associated
Press).—An extraordinary story of the
election of a French soldier to the
chamber of deputies and his subse
quent conviction by court-martial and
sentence to imprisonment for two
years has come to light here. Lieut.
Verniers of the artillery is the man.
When the tickets were being pre
pared for the election a soldier can
didate was desired in the department
of the Nord, and Vernier’s name was
proposed by a National Republican
senator who said that Verniers had
fifty-six wounds and had received sev
enteen citations for bravery.
Verniers was then in a hospital, but
he was elected without appearing be
fore his constituents. Later it was
learned that he was charged with
stealing 20,000 francs from the funds
of his regiment. He was court-mar
tialed and sentenced to two years’ im
prisonment, and has resigned from the
chamber of deputies after having been
a member of that body for forty-eight
hours.

SURPLUS OF LABOR
IS NOW AVAILABLE
FOR BRITISH PLANTS
LONDON, Jan. 14 (by Associated
Press).—The great increase in the
number of women employed in Brit
ish industries has become an impor
tant factor, and only an expansion in
industry can take care of all the labor
—both male and female—now avail
able, according to a statement by the
American Chamber of Commerce in
London.
Sir Auckland Geddes, president of
the Board of Trade, recently declared
that the country’s production would
have to be increased, not only for the
sake of export markets, but to absorb
surplus labor. According to his fig
ures, said the American chamber,
there are already over 300,000 more
men and women employed or looking
for employment in the industrial world
than before the war. The demobiliza
tion of troops would necessitate the
absorption of almost another million.
PAVILION RETURNED
TO CHINESE CUSTODY
PEKING, Jan. 14 (by Associated
Press).—The beautiful pavilion on the
Tartar city wall above Chienmen gate
has been returned to Chinese custody.
In the mutiny of the troops in Peking
early in 1912, after Yuan Shih-kai had
assumed the presidency, the command
ers of the foreign legation guards in
the capital decided that, as a military
measure, the pavilion should be occu
pied by foreign troops. The American
legation guard has occupied it ever
since.
BRITISH PROFITEERS
ARE BEING CONVICTED
LONDON, Jan. 14 (by Associated
Press).—During last month there were
871 prosecutions in England on
charges of profiteering in food sup
plies. Convictions were obtained in
861 cases, and fines aggregating $20,
000 were imposed.
