RECEIVE A BLOW IN BERLIN.
German and American Anarchists
Work in Harmony.

BERLIN, Sept. 0.-The American police
shouldn't allow itself to be fooled by the
announcement cabled from this city,
namely, that American and German An
archists are at loggerheads. and that
nothing can be gained by an exchange Of
information regarding them between the
German and American authorities. The
reds Of both countries are as united as
ever in their sinister purposes; and the
quarrel of which so much capital has been
made was merely one between John Most
and a Berlin rival. the editor of Neues
Leben. AS a matter Of fact, the German po-
lice will be very hankful to American col
leagues for any news regarding German,
Polish. Czech. Russian and all other sorts of
Anarchists living on the other side, and
will be ready at all times to reply in kind.
An arrangement of that sort must have
the full approval of the imperial chan
%cellor, Count Buelow, who will advocate a
worldwide Anarchist information system
az the proposed congress of civilized ma
tons for the suppression of anarchy.
President Roosevelt, having had valuable
experience in police matters, will, it is
hoped, concur with the chancellor.
Meanwhile, the German police announce

meetings will be issued, and that persons
asking for same will subject themselves to
surveillance as long as they remain in the
country, which means that they will have
to report TO the police at stated intervals
and are subject TO arrest whenever labor
troubles occur. Furthermore. the police
has just unearthed an old law permitting
the authorities to send away any unruly
subject from his place of residence to his
home, wherever he was born.
4 TERRIBLE WEAPON.
This will be a death blow to anarchy in
this country at least, for most reds delight
in & rowing life. and the police lists show
nat few or none remain in their birth
place after becoming of age, probably
owing to the fact that "a prophet is not
appreciated at home. and again because
Anarchists invariably make their head
quarters in the big cities.
Though the number of Anarchists in Ger
many is estimated at 5000. the existing
laws. if administered with unrelenting
severity, will suffice to keep them down,
especially if the international Anarchist
information system is enforced.
Up to the time of the Buffalo tragedy our
reds made no secret that they venerate
Spies, Parsons and the rest of the Chicago
gang as martyrs. a copper plate
Grating their execution was the principal
piece of decoration besides the red flag
at ali their meetings. At the anniversary
of their death the comrades kissed each of
the murdered" Anarchists with the words:
Glory to thee. great man. I'm only a
child now, bur hope to revenge thee sooner
or later"
Most Germans being enthusiasts on the
subject of family life, our Anarchists made
1t a point to undermine that sentiment.
Their papers are forever harping on the
fiction that in modern society woman is
merely a chattel and piece of property.
