OPINION OF TRIBUNAL.
OBJECTIONS FRIVOLOUS
ALEX. BERkMAN, LOUIS KRAMER
AND ELEVEN OTHERS ARE
DENIED LIBERTY.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Thc selective service
act was held constitutional by the Su-
preme Court.
The governments contention that
the power given Congress to declare
war included power to compel citi-
gems to render military service both at
home and abroad was sustained by the
court.
Chief Justice White, who delivered
the unanimous opinion In brief
statement, declared that after con-
sidering the various contentious the
conclusion had been reached that
most Of them were imaginary rather
than real.
The decision resulted from the ap-
peals Of thirteen cases growing out Of
convictions under the selective serv-
Ice act. five coming from New York,
three from Ohio, four from Minnesota.
and one from Georgia. Constitution
ality Of the act was questioned In all
the appeals.
The cases from New York were
those Of Louis Kramer. Morris Becker,
Emma Goldman. Alexander Berkman
ard Meyer Graubard The first four
were convicted OF attempting to in
duce others of draft age not to regis
ter. and an additional charge OF fail.
ure to register was made against Kra-
mer, who was sentenced to two years
Imprisonment Becker was sentenced
to one year and eight months in jail.
while Emma Goldman and Berkman
were ordered imprisoned for two
years and fined $4,000 each. A one
year sentence was given Graubard for
failing to register.
In holding the law constitutional
the court took no action in those cases
involving charges Of conspiracy to
prevent the carrying out Of the pur-
poses Of the law. These, II was un-
derstood, will be taken up by the
court later. That question is involved
In the cases Of Alexander Berkman
and Emma Goldman, Louis Kramer
and Morris Becker, convicted In New
York on the same charge and the So
called Ohio cases.

colors and AIrpIanes.

A curious phenopenon noted by
aviators is that the color Of a land
Ing field may have an effect on an
airplane that Is about to alight on It..
For example. an area which Is dark
from being plowed or burned over will
make the air above 1t several degrees
warmer than that over land of lighter
color, such as stubble field. thus
causing disturbed condition Of the
atmosphere, which may make landing
difficult II not dangerous.

Prices Of Monkeys Soaring.

Who would think that the European
war would have anything to do with
the price of monkeys? Well, 1t does
and great deal. too, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The price of monkeys
has gone up with food. paper. shoes
etc, to the despair Of the pathologist
and to the sorrow Of the hurdy-gurdy
man. The causes for the sudden cor
ner In monkeys are the closing Of the
worlds principal wild animal market
at Hamburg, Germany. and the lack OF
shipping facilities. Not long ago the
pathologists Of the national public
health service at Washington wanted
dozen South American monkeys for
experimental purposes. They appealed
to every wild animal dealer In this
country, to the ZOOS, and to the sailors
In port, and finally purchased six at
SIS each.

Sam said look what happened and
he was almost crying because this

they had scratched up our whole

we void begin all over again and
make new farm. because the
spring was early yet and If those
chickens cam back we'll just let

Well in school Miss Spence told
us more. about the u. S. S. G. the

make our little farms. and void
come back where the farm was like
