Plymouth. England.

Plymouth. Nov. 1S.-Plymonth
from whence may come England's
first woman NJ P, today is not the
little seaport town which the. May
flower left. 1t is still a seaport, ship
ping and fishing being the principal
sources of revenue, but ii is also one
Of England's most f1ourishing sea
ports, boasting OF population OF
about 100000.
Despite the ctys prosperity and
maritime importance. there are many
of its customs which have remained
unchanged through the three cen
turies since the Pilgrims waved their
farewellS.
American blue jackets have dubbed
the town as "a nine O'Clock town" for
at that hour each evening the streets
are practically deserted. Blinds are
drawn, taxicabs are, unavailable and
night clerks in the hotels have set
tied themselves comfortably for the
nights slumber behind their desks.
But if it is a nine o'clock town in
the evenings, it is certainly "a six
O'Clock town" in the mornings for
that time sees the majority Of the
people setting about their days tasks.
the fish market and dockyards are in
full operation. the shopping districts
beginning to open andNth streets are
lively.
Famous as a departing point for
the Pilgrims and more recently by the
arrival there Of the n. c. after her
fight across the Atlantic, it is ap-
propriate that Plymouth should again
get her. name into history through
sponsoring the feminine invasion OF

POPULAR ExTRAvAGANcE.
The High Cost of Living Discussed b
Life Insurance President.

New York. Dec 4.-Reduction OF
the high cost OF living seems only a
remote possibility" to William A
Day, president Of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society Of New York. Mr.
Day describes the present situation as
betrayin2 "a passion for expenditure
in the pursuit Of pleasure and costly
non-e essentials which has no parallel
in history
These assertions We're made by Mr..
Day in the course Of an address ne
delivered here today before the recon
struction conference of the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents.
Tie war. said Mr.. Day, thrust
upon US an unnatural and unba lanced
prosperity and has left us a legacy CT
imitation. speculation and excessive
inprovidence A large volume of easy
money has found its way into the
pockets of many people to whom a
substantial cash surplus was new
and tempting possession This. he
added. had been followed by a great
passion for expenditure and pursuit
of pleasure by those of improvidcnt
and self-indulgent tendencies.
Popular extravaganza, he declared.
had naturally led to governmental en-
travagance. as result of which the
average American family would be
called upon to pay in Federal taxes for
the year ending June 80, 1920, about
S235. compared with S36.75 in 1914,
an increase Of 539 percent in this par
ticular factor Of the cost of living.
High prices resulting from inadequate
production and depletion Of supplies
have. he said, but Served to whet
the appetite of the spendthrift. He
protests as vigorously as the provi-
dent man against the high cost o f
the necessities Of life but he eagerly
pays high prices for luXuries and
other non essentials, and for early
service he is often willing to pay a
premium above the market price.
With so many people in this
Spendthrift mood. so many outbiddlnS
each other for some Of he necessities
and most Of the luXuries of life, any
material reduction in the high cost OF
living seems a remote possibility. Ev-
cry individual and every organization
of individuals" concluded Mr.. Day.
must assist in bringing our people
back to the practice of rational econ
omy.
Despite what MI Day characterized
as the present unparalled passion
for needless Spending" he said there
had been an unprecedented increase
in the amount Of life insurance writ
ten in the United States in the present
! year. Statistics gathered for the ~
sociation Of Life Insurance Presidents
placed the total volume Of new ins'ir-
ance for tho ycar at S7.112. 2.000,00o.
compared with $4,000 100000 for the
heaviest previous year. 1918. This
amount. Mr.. Day said. would exceed
al the insurance outstanding in all
the companies 20 years ago.
In explaining why this great in
crease occurred Mr.. Day said the
heavy death roll from the war and
! the influenza epidemic had brought
almost every household i'm the United
! 1Sates face to face with the uncertain
/ ties of life and had given a great
stimulus to life insurance.

ANARCHISTS FOR
DEPORTATION
Emma Goldman and Berkmaa
At Ellis Island

New York, Dec. alexander Berk-
man and Emma Goldman. America
Two most notorious anarchists, spent
tonight at Ellis Island. They We're sur
rendered to the immis ration authori-
ties at noon upon demand of the de-
spartrnent of labor to await deporta-
ton to Russia after preaching THEN
doctrines in the. United States fol
SO years
4 While they were on the way to the
island accompanied by the govern;
ment ferry boat by a few Of THEN
most devoted followers. their counsel
Harry Weinberger. was appearing be-
: fore Federal Judge Mayer with a pc
1ition for writs of habeas corpus IN
a. last effort to nullify the deportation
decree. The writs We're granted and
are returnable Monday. Weinbersel
said that he, would insist that his
clients be produced in court before
Judge Mayer, who sentenced them tc
two wears terms for obstructing the
( draft laws.
> There was no way Of determining
tonight whether the legal proceedings
would delay the departure of Berk-
man and Miss Goldman for Russia.
The government has not announced
when il expected TO have ship
available 10 carry them away ana
Weinberger declined to state whether
he woule take their cases TO the
United States supreme court if the
lower court decided against them.
1t. was pointed out, however. that th+-
$4,000 in Liberty Bonds used as bail
Sor them would. be available to carry
on legal battle if it is considered
worth while. The habeas corpus pc
tition was based on the contention
that Miss Goldman is an American
citizen by marriage; that. the const1-
tutional right Of speech has brought
within the pale of the law any radl-
car utterances they may have made
sand that deportation TO soviet Rus
sia would be Illegal because the Uni
ted. States has not recognized the

Meanwhile Berkman and Miss Gold
man will be held at Ellis Island with
So other radicals awaiting deporta-
ton. After they We're surrendered

Berkman was put in room with
ring leaders of the recent munger
and silence strike against deporta-
ton hearings. while Miss Goldman
was sent to the quarters of two girl
anarchists who had participated in
the hunger strike.
Fearing immediate deportation Of
the two anarchists, half dozen wo-
men radicals accompanied them or
the ferry trip to Ellis Island and kiss
ed Them both as the boat was passing

they reached the Island,
Z Berkman was fully equipped with

80 her followers was:

Justice for Wilhelm.
(New York Herald.)


 There will be a feeling of satisfaction throughout the civilized world that the arch criminal, William HohenzOern is to be arragned before international tribunal. It feared that the jursts and pursts, who were guided mainly by legal precedents, might carry their point and that the who plunged the whole world into and to gratify his nsensate ambitions would escape trial and punishment But the statesman who promised that the Kaiser should be brought to justice has carried his point Germany has been trial before the peace conference and is about to be called up for sentence. Justice would, however, have been badly served if the leaders who conspired against the liberties of the world and de- berately planned monstrous and unprovoked assault upon countries which desired nothing much be at peace should They also to be tried
 It may be said by some that William Hohenzoern has already been heavily punished True he has lost But he is still free man, unscathed in person and surrounded by of respect which is far from being his due. halo of dignity still envelopes him, although he has shown that he is and feeble liar false to his friends and quondam supporters and willing to shift his blame their shoulders as he to break faith with friendly and unpro- tected nation and to sanction the greatest outrages against humnity committed by merciess in vader. It is right that such should suffer the fullest measure not only of obloquy but also of per sona punishment, that his individual responsibility and crimes should be brought home to him and that he should suffer the penalties which fall those of lesser station who transgress the laws both and
