ANARCHISTS BOLD
Finland TerrOristS Send Threat

Liberty of Alex. Berkman."
nv JosBPH sHAPLEN.

Petrograd, Jan. 3O.-An ultimatum
declaring the American ambassador pr
would be held personally responsiole . .
for the life and liberty of Alexander
Berkman," was forwarded to David

sailors and workmen at Heis1ngrors

deeply interested in the prosecution in
the United States of Berkman and
Emma Goldman. the two American
"red" leaders, for conspiracy TO de-
feat the consumption law.
Coincidentally with news of this ac-
ton from Helsingfors came word of
RoIsheyiki successes In putting down
the revolution in Finland. The Pet7
rogrAd agency quoted Foreign Minis
ter Trotzky as writing the Finnish SEN
atn stating he favored withdrawal OF
Russian troops from Finland Trot-
zky asserted that counter-revoiut1on-
lists in Finland had attacked the Boil
sheviki Red guards. forcing the latter
to defend themselves
David R. Francis, American ambas-
sador to Russia, is a former governor
of Missouri a former secretary of the
interior under President Cleveland and
president of the ST. Louis Centennial
exposition in 1904. He is one of the
best known Missourians and was ap-
pointed American envoy to Petrograd
old.
Alexander Berkman for years has
been a leading exponent in the United
States of anarchy and direct action"
methods He has been almost con-
stantly IN trouble with federal. state
and municipal authorities for his bold
espousaI of these beliefs At the pres
ent time Berkman faces a prison SEN
tence for conspiracy to defeat the se-
lective service draft law. His appeal
too the supreme court of the United
States was rejected.
Berkman and Emma Goldman, the
latter known as the ~queen of the
reds publish Mother Earth and
other anarchistic publications. They
have frequently been charged with
participation in bomb plots and Berk-
man a number of years ago was con-
victed of an attempt on the life of
Henry c. Frfck.
Distinction should be sharply ma de
between the anarchists and the Boil

Washington, Jan. 3o.-war depart
ment legislation tentatively agreed
upon by the senate military committee
and designed to provide additional
draft machinery was ready today for
Introduction in the senate. The bills
provide for the registration of youths
attaining the age of 21 years since
quotas on the basis of Glass 1 of the
new classification and empowers the
president to call men needed for spe-
cial industrial work.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
in an explanation to the committee
said It was proposed to hold a new
drawing to establish the order of liza
bility of the new registrants. 1t is as
sumed, he asserted, that most of the
new registrants will fall in Glass 1, CIV
ing the class this year a total of more
than two million men. From this
class it is expected to take the next
and future drafts. Secretary Bakers
plan to exempt men who have at
tained the age of 81, disapproved by
General Crowder, is not included in
the legislation.
Date of Call Uncertain
Secretary Baker last night disclosed
that the war department z had not
fixed the date for another draft and
made clear that the expansion of
Americas present. fighting force de-
pends upon events in France and the
shipping situation. H said that when
he told the senate committee that the
United States would have half mil
lion men in France early this year and
a million and a half ready to go dur
ing 1918. he referred to the divisions
now in training camps and those al
ready in Europe.
The secretary advanced the opinion
that additional legislation would be
necessary If more men were called for
the fighting forces than are included
in the next increment of 100000. Be
yond this he believed the presidents
authority to draft men for other than
reserves would be exhausted. He de-
clared, however, that under that por-
ton of the law which gives the presi-
dent power to call recruit batta1ions
and special units the second draft
might bring a million men.

Among the considerable number al

demonstrated the falsity of recent
German claims and the publication of

reason.
The figures are authoritatively de-
clared to show that Germany has been
deliberately circulating false hopes to

tance given to the entente allied cause
by this shipping and thus to create
unjustified confidence in the German
submarines.

Cawker City, the scene o. Margaret
Hill McCarter's famous book, Carl
Luthey and Winnett Robinson, high
school boys, have been living in
the open air, trapping and hunting
since early in November Today
Sheriff Hugh Larimer received a tele-
phone message from Cawker City say
ing the boys had been identified and
were. trapping on the Solomon river.

peka, and Louis Luthey, $50 Winfield
avenue, Oakland, their fathers. left on
the first train for Beloit, where they
/ will connect with the Central Branch
and thus reach Cawker City. This is
the first clew to the Whereabouts of
the boys since they left on Novem-
ber IL.
The lads were identified by a
Cawker City storekeeper when they
walked into town Tuesday afternoon
to purchase a chicken and a loaf of
bread. Whether their patriotism in
observing meatless day, poor hunting
or hunger for food of civilization
caused their journey into Cawker City
is not known.
They told the storekeeper they were
trapping on the river, but refused to
give any further information regard
ing themselves. Postals containing
their pictures sent broadcast over the
country enabled the Cawker City man
to identify them. A $50 reward is
offered for information leading to
their whereabouts.
Both boys were close followers of
the adve ntures of Daniel Boone and
other famous trappers. Each had a
trapping outfit. Two weeks before
their departure, young Robinson had
purchased book on trapping while
the Luthey lad had done considerable
trapping before they ran away from
their homes.
Took No Overcoats.
/ When they left. Robinson took a
small black travelling bag containing
a few underclothes and a mackinaw.
He had a trapping outfit purchased
taking. Young Luthey didn't even
take an overcoat with him. He car
ried two suit cases away and his trap
ping outfit. That led to the belief
they had decided to spend a winter in
trapping. altho they had talked some

will be a good experience for them.
No, we haven't heard a word from
them. 1 guess they were afraid of the
consequences if they were caught.
And they will get something when
they get home-a whole lot to eat and
a dozen kisses"
The Luthey boy was an Oakland
high school student and a member of
the glee club and orchestra. The boys
are 16 years of age.
