American guns are booming in France,

but there is every likelihood that the ar

for it is planned to complete the lnten-
siye training of the gunners under actuai
battle conditions, under the fire of German
guns and with their own weapons olrecl-
ed against occupied German trenches IN
various positions behind the enemy lines
While the plans of the American COM

logical from a military standpoint that
after the artillery has completed several
weeks of training at the front in lason
with the French infantry ana supp1l'iils pi'S1 hs

withdrawn for maneuvers with the grad

In Close Cooperation.
The cooperation of artillery and in
fantry is so close under modern battie
tactics that it is essential they should
be trained to act together almost as one
unit. And Just as the first contingent OF
American infantry will devote itself large

ANARCHISTS MAY BE DEPOkTED FOR ANTl-DRAFT TALK
Law Would Permit Such a Disposition In Berkman-
 Goldman Case

New York, June 16-Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, an- archists, arrested yesterday on a fed eral bench warrant charging them with conspiracy to prevent registra- tion, were to be arraigned today be- fore a United States commissioner.
 The complaint alleges that signed articles in the June issue of the Blast and Mother Earth, anarchist publica- tions, edited by Berkman and Miss Goldman, constituted conspiracy. A wagon load of propaganda and sub- scription records were seized.
 As neither Berkman nor Miss Gold man is. a citizen of the United States it was pointed out tocay that if con- victed they may be deported after their prison terms are served. The laws of the United States provide that where an alien has twice been con- victed of crime in this country he may be deported, no matter how many years he has been here. Berkman served IA years for the attempted as- sassination of H. c. Trick and Miss Goldman served term of one year on BlackwelPs Island for melting to riot.

Copenhagen, June 16.-Admiral Won Tirpdtz and Field Marshal Von Hin denburg have replied approvfngly to telegrssns of greeting from the Pan German committee for a German peace in Essen. Won Tirpitz replied:
 '"The submarines will reach their goal if we at home retain our nerve.''
 Von Eiindenburg, who misses no op- portunity of answering telegrams from meetings arranged by the junker com mittee, although it is opening in op- position to Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg, responded on this occasion with assurances that a complete vic- tory and "a peace worthy of Ger manys sacrifices and assuring the prosperity and growth of the country are within reach if the struggle is continued manfully.''

Russian "Jags"' Expensive

NO matter what your opinion was about the former Car of Russia, one thing is certain he did a marvellous thing for the progress of the Russian nation when at the outbreak of the war. he issued a decree forbidding the sale of vodka. Vodka was the curse of the lower classes of Russia. Mil lions and millions of gallons of the ghastly stuff were consumed in the empire every year and no place was so remote from civilization" that it's inhabitants could not get all they wanted of the drink. The peasantry 1ndulged in it more than all other classes. It's excuse was that this in dulgence was the only relief it had from the monotony of labor. The con sequence was that crops were not planted at all, or not at the proper time, or, if they had been planted, lay rotting in the ground after ripen- ing, because the peasant happened to be in a vodka stupor when he should have been at work in the fields The result was that he went into debt, which grew worse and worse with every year. With the war came the ban on Vodka and now that the Czar has been overthrown the leaders of the present revolutionary government are QOl1lS all III tHelF pQWeT to see lHdt it's use is not again revived. Severe penalties are provided for it's sale and for those found with it in their pos session And woe betide the man who gets drunk. Each flag" will cost him year and a half in prison. and if he commits any kind of an offense while intoxicated. he is liable to i'm prisonment for from six to eight years. Consequently the Russian people are thinking twice, or even three times, before they take drink these days.

KING GUSTAV
 OF SWEDEN

The majority of Kings have been prominent men, but not big men. If they had been born as ordinary hu- man beings mo- one would probably ever have heard of them. It's the fierce light that beats upon the throne that makes them what they are. There is one king living today who is decidedly big in his way and that is King Gustav of Sweden He is big because he is human. He is certainly one of the most democratic monarchs in the world. It is not un- likely that he realizes his democratic descent, and that is a point in his fa- vor. Gustav V was born fifty-eight years ago today and is the great grandson of that Marshall Berna- dotte, French Prince of Ponte Corvo, who; century ago, won the approval of Europe and right of succession to the Swedish throne by turning against his former friend and Commander, Napoleon Bonaparte. Bernadotte was born of peasant stock in a tiny cot tage near Pau. He enlisted in the army at the age of seventeen and at thirty became a general in the forces of the First Republic. He was ve- hement in his denounciation of royal ty and prided himself in his title of Citizen Jean Baptiste Jules Berna- dotte. He advocated the guillotine for all the crowned heads of Europe, and it great satisfaction for him to see Louis XVI mount the scaffold. So ardent an ante-royalist was he that he had tatooed upon his forearm the picture of a guil1otine and the words: Death to all Kings and Tyrants. This record of his early political convictions was discovered only after his death, when he was King Charles XIV of Sweden. The relations between King Gustav and his people are ideal. He is never happier than when seated on a bench in his garden chatting with the workmen on his estates. He goes about Stockholm . without a body Guard. Several years ago the King decided to find out just exactly what the laboring classes wanted in the way of laws to better their condition. Without disclosing his identity he ap- piled for a job as stevedore and spent several days carrying coal from lighter. It was a very stiff and mus cle sore King who "knocked off work" when quitting time came every even ing, but he stuck to his job. The knowledge he gained during his dis cussions with his fellow workmen was put to good use in the laws that were subsequently, passed for the better ment of their condition.

Manning, a Wall street banker and broker, for his failure to marry her. MT. Manning is eighty-four years old and lives at 81 Riverside drive, in New York city. On Dec. IA, accord ing to Miss O'Brien's testimony, MT. Manning, following a dinner in his home, made an offer of marriage to her. He later changed his mind, she says. MT. Manning is widower with six children. In her testimony Miss O'Brien said she did not love MT. Man ming, but respected him as man of brains who was successful in business.
