said that he would complete Ms evidence Wednesday. j, At Canton, Ieb* prefaced1 Ml* Memories with the statement that 'T must be careful what I sav and more careful how I say it." His alleged offense specifically is that by indirection and insinuation in this sjeech it was his intent to affirm the "war program" of the socialist party at St. Louis in June, 1S17.

This program was adopted b"r a referendum of the party and is outspoken in 9ppo.sing the war, and among other things pledges the party to o pose-con-scription.

Although in his speech Mr. Debs evaded ^irect affirmation of the "war program," witnesses were introduced to show that this was really what he intended to convey with due regard to careful and lawful language.

Reporters Testify,

Two witnesses testified on this point. They were Clyde R. Miller, a Cleveland reporter, who interviewed Debs at Canton and again two weeks later after his arrest in Cleveland, and Joseph Traner, an agent of the Department of Justice, who attended a meeting of the state secretaries of the National socialist party in Halstead street, Chicago, last summer.

Miller, in his interviews, asked he testified, if he repudiated the "war program." On both occasions, witness said, Debs replied that he stood by the program and was ready to die for it. Traner testified that at the Chicago meeting, Mr. Debs said he hoped that the secretaries would do nothing to cbange the program. Iri substance the foregoing constitutes the government's ca.se.

Qth«r witnesses were Virgil p. Rteiner, a 20-year-old stenographer, wbo took a report of the Canton speech for the Department of Justice E. R. Sterling, a stenographer of thirteen years' experience, who performed a similar task for the socialist convention in connection with which Debs stoke C. E. Ruthenburg, now serving a year in the Canton work house for opposing the draft, and Bdward A. ITvans, a soldier whose previous reportorial training led him to take copious notes of the speech while on fnrloogh from. Camp Perry.

Debs Challenges Soldier.

Judge Westenhaver laid down the ruling at the start: ."The defendant k» not on trial because he is a socialist. The socialist party is not on trial, but the defendant is tyeing tried on the question of whether he violated the provision of the law in this country."

Westenhaver made tliis ruling after an attorney for Debs had challenged Josi&h P. Grant, a pensioned soldier, for cause.

Grant, while feeing examined by Debs' lawyer, said he had an opinion about socialists.

He said he thpugb£ they were -oppossed to the government and expressed a lack of sympathy with tham.

Grant said, however, that his opinion was based on reading the newspapers, and added he would be governed by the evidence.

The judge also ruled that, Qrant couldn't b« challenged for cause because he was drawing a pension from the government..

PITTSBURGH, Pa.. Sept. 11.—There will be no shortage of coal or food this winter on account of transportation congestion, according to Director-Gen-eral* William G.

ACCEPTS PRESS REPORT.

Navy Department Hears of Sinking From Admiral Sims.

WASHINGTON, Sept 11.—The narvy department announced today the receipt of a dispatch from Vice-Admiral Sims, stating that a British Uner carrying American troops was torpedoed September 8 off the English coast All on board were saved.

Although Admiral Sims' message gave the date

the attack as Sep

tember 8, navy officials are inclined to think this an error in tramr.AisRion and to accept as accurate the Associated Press dispatches saying the ship was torpedoed last Friday, September fi.

After the news came from England today, it became known that, the navy department had heard nothing about the incident until yesterday, when Admiral Sims' first report was received. No announcement was made then because the ship was British and the British government desired to be the first to give the news to the public.
