CAREERS OF
 GOLDMAN AND
 HERMAN GIVEN

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The de- portation of Emma Goldman and her devoted companion, Alexander Berk man, ends a joint career of. 30 years in the United States during which they preached the overthrow of the government by violence.
 Berkman served fourteen years for shooting Henry Clay Prick and two years for urging young men to abstain from registering for the sell ective draft early in the war. Miss Goldman was in prison two years for opposing cOnscription and one year for melting to riot. Berkman dictment for murder in connection with the Preparedness Day bomb outrage in San Francisco. Miss Goldman was acquitted of illegal dis tribution of birth control literature.
 Their joint activities as publish CTS of the anarchist magazines. Mo ther Earth" and "The Blast" sup pressed during the war combined with their addresses at anarchists meetings, helped cause the assass- ination of President Mckinley, the government charged in it's deporta- ton proceedings. The confession of Czolgosz described the influence which Miss Goldman's writings had on him.
 Their influence was traced in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times. Matthew Schmidt and Da- vid Caplan, now in jail with others for that crime, were "of the Gold man clan," Attorney General Pal mer said.
 They were suspected of receiving German money to oppose prepared ness by the United States before the United States entered the war.
 They co-operated with German spies in endeavoring to promote a revolution in India during the war.
 They were the pioneer radicals in the United States. Now there are so. 900 Reds here and 472 disloyal foreign language newspapers, accord ing to Attorney General Palmer. Denounced by judges and other public officials from President Roosevelt down as enemies of the country seeking to destroy it but regarded by women anarchists who greeted them with kisses as beau tiful characters, 100 years ahead of their times," they so increastd their following that 1t was easy for them

Chief of Staff Says Pool ing and Distribution of Food Supply Would
 Settle Matters
WOULD HELP MORALE
Contends it Would Reduce Living Cost and Remove Causes For Discomfort
 of American People

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Gen Tas- ker L. Bliss. the American peace de legate who has just returned home from attending sessions of the Al lied conference in Paris, said in a statement to the press today that he believed industry's most urgent need was the pooling of United States food supplies and distribution facil ities under Director General.
 He said such an arrangement would remove discontent and strengthen the morale of the people.
 Gen. Bliss said the food program should include Germany, for should the element of discomfort enter large ly into the affairs of Germany, 1t would probably spread to other coun- tries.
 Btss said he saw no possibility of including Russia in proposed distribution plan. He said if the present yso-called Russian government would play fair with the rest of the world, food could be sent to Russia inside of 20 days. He believes that the present situation in Russia would be changed completely by sending there necessities of life.
 General Bliss suggested in con clusion that man like Herbert Hoo yer be named as Director General for the distribution of supplies for Flu rope.

"Getting By"

A student recently sent away to
a well known academy. was asked
what he was getting there any more
than he could have had in the high
school of his home town. The last
named school is noted as one of the
best of its kind. The boy replied
that in his home town high school
the spirit of the pupils was. Get
by" In the academy the spirit
was, DO your best"
If this spirit of getting by" is a
common one in our schools, and if
boys and girls must be sent away
to expensive private schools to find
an atmosphere of achievement, it is
a very serious matter. There must
be many public schools where the
teachers have been able to COM
municate the spirit of enthusiasm to
their pupils, But any experienced
school worker would say that in a
great many schools the teachers
have not been able to stimulate
among their pupils.
1t is not that these students lack
energy. They are willing to work
when they find something that ap,
peals to them. The trouble is fire.
quently that they do not realize
that the studies in schools of high
school grade have practical value.
They do not have to use Latin.
French, algebra, history. or civics
in q business Office, What good,
they argue. are these studies2 They
proceed to fool their time away.
The courses of high schools have
been selected after centuries of ex-
perience and practice in the train
ing of people for their life work
They must on the whole be pretty
well adapted to that purpose. The
young folks should realize what
great opportunities they have, and
what a mistake it is for them to be
content simply to get by" IN so
far as they get that spirit, they
will be distanced in after life by
the many pupils who have acquir-
ed the spirit Of DO your best"

II is possible nov to reveal the
dramatic story of-hOw American
secret agents nearly wrecked the
German-Austrian Food Administra-
tion by distributing some two mil
lion spurious bread tickets.
EARLY in January, 1918. five
American agents. one woman,
Bohemian born. crossed the front.
iers of Germany carrying vast num-
bers of counterfeit tickets printed
in Washington. Working with con-
federates among corruptible food
administration officials. sgents dis
tributed more than a million bread
tickets and then escaped TO neutral
countries. Again, in April a sec
ond distribution of more than 600,.
600 tickets was made before the
German Secret Service, seeking the
cause of the unprecedented decrease
in bread stocks, managed to trail
the Bohemian woman and one OF
her male associates. The other
three escaped, but the two were
shot at Prague.
The woman's name was Rose Lit
zenauer. She was formerly music
teacher at Milwaukee. She had
volunteered for secret service work
as soon as America entered the
war.
This girl died not knowing she
had helped to create more havoc
among German and Austrian forces
than a division of American troops
could have caused, for the flood OF
100000 spurious tickets circulated
during five month so depleted bread
stocks that the Teuton food admin
istrations we're forced to re- organ-
ize their entire system of -four
distribution and recall all out
standing tickets.

Mechanical Progress.

1t may be thought that the past
year was 80 wholly devoted to pro.
ducine engines of warfare and des.
truction, that little progress was
made in the arts of peace Yet GER
tain advances which we accomplish.
ed under the stress of war must be
tremendously useful for peace times
The war has given vast impetus
to solution of the problems of
mechanical flight. A great number
of brilliant minds have been set to
work on the development of avia-
ton. While airplsnes have not yet
been made very practical for every
day uses. one can't help feeling that
great progress in that direction has
been made through the production
of planes for fighting purposes.
Another great improvement
which war has brought has been the
building of standardized ships. The
idea is made practical of producing
ships as automobiles are made, in
quantity production. The cost of
ships should fall, as the price of au-
tomobiles fell a few years ago
This means that the resources of
the world will be at our disposal as
never before.
The war has given a great impet
US to food production. The world
wide need for more food has greatly
prom oted the distribution of agricul
tural machinery, and the country's
produ, ton has no doubt been per-
manently increased.
The war has turned the thoughts
of many thousands of young men
to technical education. 1t will
Emulate them to fit themselves
for greater efficiency. 1t is probable
t hat people are thinking relatively
too much to-day of material effici.
e ncy. and too little of moral and
spiritual valu, s: Still a gain has
been made in scientific and mechani.
cal lines which in the long run will
b clip the world to higher planes of
living. So our past year of warfare
is not to be regarded as a period
merely of destruction
