HEARS CASE OF
EUGENE V. DEBS
< 'UKVKUA.NI>. Ohio, .Ian. S Today
Hie opening hearing before the United
States supremo court took place in
■ the case of Ktlgene V. Delis, who was
tried for violation of the espionage
act liv a jury In the United States
district court here last summer, and
was found guilty. He was charted
with making remarks tending to dis
courage enlistments in a speech at
Canton, Ohio.
His "defense” verged (,n th<■ unique.
The government having closed, coun
sel for Debs announced that they
would introduce neither witnesses nor
documentary evidence, but that, by
agreement with the government, the
defendant would address the jury in
his own behalf for tin hour.
Debs, a tall, lean figure, who is con
1 sidered the greatest of Socialist ora
! tors in America, and who has been
j reputedly the candidate of his party
| lor President, began by admitting the
■ correctness of every iota of testimony
l introduced against him. For the rest
he devoted himself to advocacy of the
Socialist doctrine. None of his attor
neys spoke.
A few hours later the verdict was
f brought in, and subsequently the
| judge imposed a sentence of six
i months' imprisonment.

Alaska:
"Outside of tlte incorporated towns

hemmed around with restrictions con

The Germans took her brother away
with hundreds of other young men, on
a line morning, and Marie Rose bade
him farewell. She has never seen him
since. Marie Rose's father worked on

house in the village and conked for the
German officers, who tf*>k the family’s
bedrooms with polite suavity.
Marie Studied German.
Of course, there were no schools; so
Marie Rove studied German, which the
bored young officers volunteered to
tench her. She was told that the Ger

before many years all the world would
speak German.
