NOTORIOUS REDS
GET STAY ON EVE
OF DEPORTATION
Writs Of Habeas Corpus Save
Emma Goldman and Alex.
ander Berkman at
Ellis Island.

New York, Dec. 5.-Alexander
Berkmsn and Emma Goldman,
Americas two most notorious an
archists, spent tonight at Ellis
island They were surrendered to
the immigration authorities at noon
upon demand of the Department of
Labor to await deportation to Rus
STA after preaching their doctrines
in the United States for 80 years.
While they we're on the way to the
island, accompanied on the govern
lnent ferry boat by few of their
most devoted followers, their coun-
sci, Harry Weinberger, was appear
ing before Federal Judge Mayer
with a petition for writs of habeas
corpus in a last effort to nullify the
deportation decree. The writs were
granted and are returnable Monday.
Weinberger said he would insist that
his clients be produced in court be-
fore Judge Mayer, who sentenced
them to two-year terms for obstruct-
ing the draft law. 49,.
Bonds for Expenses.
There was no way of determining
tonight whether the legal proceed
ings would delay the departure of
Perkman and Miss Goldman for
Russia. The government has not
announced when it expected to have
ship available to carry them away
and Weinberger declined to state
whether he would take their cases
to the United States supreme court
il the lower courts decide against
them. 1t was'pointed out, however,
that the $4,000 in Liberty bonds
used as bail for them would be avail
able to carry on legal battle if it is
considered worth while.
The habeas corpus petition was
based upon the contention that Miss
Goldman is an American citizen by
marriage, that the constitutional
right of free speech has brought
within the pale of the law any radi-
cal utterances they may have made,
and that deportation to soviet Rus
sia would be illegal because the
United States has not recognized
the bolsheviki.
Meanwhile, Berkman and Miss
Goldman will be held at Ellis Island
with 81 other radicals awaiting de-
rortation. After they were sur
rendered today, searched and in
spected by doctors, Berkman was
put in a room with seven ring-lead
ers of the recent hunger ard silence
strike against deportation hearings,
while Miss Goldman was sent to
quarters of two girl anarchists who
had participated in the hunger strike.
Berkman Well Clothed.
Fearing immediate deportation of
the two anarchists, half dozen
women radicals accompanied them
on the ferry trip to Ellis Island, and
kissed them both farewell as the
boat was leaving the Statue of Lib
erty' and again when they reached
the island.
Berkinan was fully equipped with
new clothing. He carried three
grips.
Miss Goldman's- farewell mes
sage to her followers was:
Love and comradeship to all !
revolutionary people. We expect to
be called back to soviet Russia
Both she and Berkman predicted |
a revolution in this country within
FIVE years.

WHAT DO YOU TRINK?

It has been reported that approximately two hundred thousand American soldiers overseas have ecided to make their home in France.
 We wonder if the news that the country they left short time agao was fast travelling the road that leads to "Bone Dry had anything to do with making them forget their premise to come back to their home country as soon as they had licked the Huns Be that as it may, the boys decision is likely to cause some of the young women prohibitionists some anxiety; for the ere dit for the 'bone dry part of it, is principally due to them and their bic sisters
 Seriously, is not prohibition a sort of infring ment on ones personal liberty? To many it seems so, as a certain. well known business man remarked yesterday. In speaking about the sure coming national prohibition, he said ''If there was only one man in the whole United States who wanted 9 drink, the other hundred or more millions would have no right to object much less deprive him of it; because man has ali iralienable right to personal liberty" and he added; Indeed without personal liberty, there is no liberty
 Leaving that question of personal liberty a. side, and taking ID another question inst for devilrnent so to speak we proceed along this line of argument thus: Supp0sing the country goes dry; what then?

MAKING SOLDIERS CITIZENS

The process of making a soldier into civilien is no easier than that of turning civilians into soldiers. Every with few exceptions, discharged from the army will be thrown into civil life with the loss of the precious quality of initiative, loss serious in proportion to the length of his service. The private soldier lives life in which his thinking Is done for him. He is forbidden to rely on his own judment, and he is forced to accept even in regard to triflng details of his existence, the order of a superior The soldiers discharge cannot alter this care fully developed habit of mind. When he origi- naiiy became recruit he remain civilian for months after he put on the uniform, the reverse is equally true. After his discharge the soldier is still in effect soldier until forgotten atti- Jude of mind has had an opportunity to re-ass- ert itself. The public will only need to be re- minded of this to view his problem with an understanding mind. The returned soldier does not ask for sympathy or for favors, but he is entitled to receive as his right, both from his employer and from his fellows, an intelligent comprehension of his difficulties.
