ods of espionage used in Germany
against anarchists without being called
tyrannous. Writing from Berlin to the
Chicago Record- Herald. W. e. Curtis
states that foreigners who profess anar-
chistic principles are expelled from Ger

unless they do something in violation Of
law or order. If they make a speech, or
write an article, or utter a threat. or
commit an overt act. they are sent to
jail, and this imprisonment is repeated
for longer term each time that an of
tense is committed until the country Is
too hot for them. Every man of anar-
chistic tendencies is known to the police,
except those who keep their opinions to
themselves, and 1t is scarcely worth
while for any one to profess the doc
trines of disorder and advocate the de-
struction of governments and society
without expressing his views to the pub
lie or at least to his friends. II is easy

reer from his cradle to his grave. Every
citizen has to be registered at police
headquarters of the district in which he
lives-his name, age. place of birth, oc-
cupation and income. When he moves
or changes his occupation or leaves the
city he must give due notice.
