Asks Local Police to Locate
Missing Woman.

Mrs. Clark Jamison of New York,
who Is staying at the willard Hotel.
has asked the police to locate her
nurse girl. Catherine German. seven
teen years old, who disappeared last
night. Mrs. Jamison told the police
that the girl is a blonde and attrac-

Mrs. Jamison says she left the hotel
yesterday afternoon for Baltimore,
where she was going to pass the
night. The girl accompanied her to
the railroad station here and returned
to care for a six-weeks-old baby of
Mrs. Jamison's.
Today, when Mrs. Jamison arrived
at the hotel and went to her room, she
found that both the nurse girl and
the baby were nowhere about. Mrs.
Jamison later found the baby with
woman guest of the hotel in an
adjoining room. The latter said she
heard the baby crying. Realizing that
it wanted attention she went into the
room to care for it.
In the meantime woman guests Of
the hotel became attracted to the
baby and several wanted to adopt it.
A discussion arose on the question of
collecting a fund for it.
The appearance of the nearly dis
tracted mother changed the situation.

uS. NEMR BETTER ABLE
TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS

Notwithstanding heavy taxes, high
cost of living and the vast sums in
vested in previous government loans,
the country was never in a better po-
sftion than now to subscribe to the
forfhceming victory loan. That is the
: summary of a statement issued today
from Richmond on the authority of
gtlle war loan organization of the fifth
federal reserve district.
> Treasury statistics reveal that by
December 1 of last year the per capita
supply of money in America had
reached the highest point then known
-s5S23. In 1879, for instance. the
total was only sf6.92." says the state
ment.
Though the government is borrow
ing in huge sums to settle it's war
bills and to return its activities to a
peace basis. the wealth of the nation
within the last few years has grown
enormously, the per capita circula-
tion increasing in the last eleven
months from s4S.76 to s5S.23. In 1918
the stock of money in the United
States increased 1884 1885, and
the investing strength of the people
of the country is now greater than
it has ever before been in the history
of any nation So sudden was the
termination of hostilities that the
United States found itself with a
number of outstanding contracts and
other liabilities.

Powderly because Of the latter's al
legged misdoings in office. The fight
was unsuccessful, but in 1894, at
New Orleans, De Leon again led
the fight to prevent the Powderly
forces from getting into office, and
the Socialist Knights made an ar
rangement with the James R. Sow
ereign forces whereby Sovereign
was to receive the strength of the
Socialist delegation for Master
Workman in return for their privi-
lege to choose an editor for the Of
fetal journal of the Knights.
The arrangement was not kept by
the Sovereign men. Instead they

York City. For a time, according
to De Leon himself, he was not at
all interested in them. But he be-
came interested in the streetcar
strike, which was most prominent at
that time, and after following it for
a time wrote Henry George that he
had heard that the workers of New
York intended to nominate him for
Mayor, and if that were the case,
he could count on De Leon's support.
George was nominated, and, al
though De Leon had had no idea of
aligning himself with the forces of
labor, he severed his connection
with Columbia University, which he
felt viewed his actions with sus-
picion, and entered the campaign.
In 1886 De- Leon joined the
Knights of Labor. In few years
he took prominent part in that
organization and became q delegate

able to read Italian, Dutch, Portu-

He returned to America, practised
law for a short time in Texas: and
became the editor of a Spanish pa

ban liberation. Later he became a
teacher of Latin, Greek and mathe-
mates at a school at Westchester,
N. Y. Following this he took
course in the Columbia Law School
and was awarded school prizes, and
was finally made lecturer in the de-
partment Of international law as
result Of successful competition for
the position.

Assembly in 1896 determined to un-
seat the assembly forces. This was
almost accomplished, but De Leon's
forces were not strong enough. Up
on returning from Washington De
Leon and his seven fellow delegates
repudiated the Knights Of Labor
and Joined hands with the Central
Labor Federation in forming the
Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance.
In 1896 the national convention
Of the Socialist Labor party by an
overwhelming vote indorsed this new
organization formed by De Leon.
During this time De Leon was the
Socialist Labor party's candidate for
Congress several times and also ran
for Governor of New York State.

1905 much had happened in the So

Almost strangling with wrath and
tears, the old man growled in part
ing:

But the lieutenant, feigning moi
to hear him, burst out into aughtel
and added:
"As to the notice in the hallway

"Now," declared the officer,

chair which was still unconsumed,
"let nobody touch anything else.

Night arrived. The men stood
around in silence. The rain had

The sub-officer saluted and went
away with two men. Their boots
resounded on the staircase. Then
suddenly a cry, oaths, the noise of
u struggle were heard, and the three
returned, pushing poor devil be-
fore them. Very old, bent, stupe-
fled by surprise and the blows dealt
him, he looked anything but dan
gerous. However, the feldwebel
never ceased abusing him except to
threaten him with a revolver,
New-York tribune., 1919-07-13
"Who's this?" asked the lieu

"Who's this?" asked the lieu
tenant.
"a man whom we found up there
in the act Of forcing a wardrobe"
"a civilian?" said the officer.
He ordered a lantern to be
lighted.
"Well! Well! So there are rob-
bers here. They break into houses
and plunder them"
The old man made a gesture of
protestation. But the feldwebel
closed his mouth with a blow from
the revolver butt.
Don't strike him until I tell you
to-" the lieutenant growled. "The
devil! We aren't savages. We must
let people explain first. We can
beat them up afterward. What were
you going to say, old rascal?"
But the old man, tottering under
the blow. stanched the blood which
flowed from his mouth. The field
webel spoke for him:
"He is robber, Mr.. Lieutenant.
He crawled under the bed when he
saw US. But we made him come
out. While he hesitated I tried to
persuade him with two or three
kicks. Afterward we searched him.
And this is what l found on him
Three handkerchiefs, watch, some
photographs in frames, a portfolio
New-York tribune., 1919-07-13

Then he added, by way of con-
clusion:
"It would have been heart-break-
ing if this evening or tomorrow
she'll should have destroyed all
these beautiful things, which now,
in our country, will give pleasure to
so many persons of quality. Let US
respect private property as if it
we're our own. Everything which
is taken away must be taken away
in proper order, not in the crude
fashion Of plunderers, who break
into houses under the cover of night
or in the confusion of retreat. Pin
sci, make out list Of our seizures
and paste it up in the hallway, SO
that the owner may see that every
thing has been done here with abso-
lutte regularity"
Having said this, he mounted the
stairs and continued the disman-
tling process. The feldwebel accom-
panied him, guiding him in his selec-
tions. They empticd three bed
rooms and little salon on the Sec
ond floor; three other bedrooms and
library on the third floor. Then
they stopped, since it was getting
dark. And as the chill of evening
came on, to warm themselves as
we'll as to make somf light, they

Without ceasing to mop his face
the old man shrugged his shoulders
and answered:
"Shoot me. I shall be only the
twelfth in the village to be shot and
l shall die honorably, like the
Others"
The feldwebel gave him a blow
on the head.
"Silence when an officer speaks. "

Working Class Wor,, Out

"The fact is that all classes of the
people, workingmen included, are so
worn out physically and exhausted
morally that they are unable to make
any effort or to venture any actual
opposition. 1t is very characteristic of
the situation that the peasantry, being
less exhausted than the town popula-
ton, show much more energy in their
opposition to Bolshevism. Uprisings
and revolts break out everywhere
where the Communist administration,
supported by Red Guards, tries to en-
force its law upon the unwilling
countryside. The peasants discomfort
has taken. indeed, proportions 90 men
acing that the more prudent elements
of Bolshevism try to persuade the
leaders to adopt moro moderate
course, but things have gone so far
that no concessions are likely to ap-
peasc the peasantry.
ut would be, at the same time, very
misleading to construe this peasants
opposition as a token Of monarchist
tendencies, to which view many OF the
rcactionaries siding now with Kolchal
and Denikin seem to be very much in
ciined. The social and political aspi.
fstions OF the peasants may be briefly
