DR.. herr SEES DISASTER
IN TOO SPEEDY CHANGE.

Berlin, June 3O.-The Communist
Independents are warned earnestly
by DIR. Herr. the Hamburg ultra ra-
dical leader of one group of the Ger
man extreme Independents that they
must be resigned to depending for
some time on the intellectual en-
ployer's capitalism. whose know
ledge OF the economic situation is
still indispensable and therefore So
cialization must proceed very slow
ly.
THE Communists demand OF a
proletariat is an effort to reach a
stage Of development by violent ad-
vance for which the present day con-
ditions are not ripe" he says. Only
the underestimation OF economic
thought can mislead one to the view
that with methods OF violence an eco
nomic advance can be gained. II a
four years war should be followed by
a four years civil war the victor
whether Ludendorff, Noske. or the
Spartacans will rule over a field of
corpses. II the economic life is to
bloom again social conflicts must
take form which eliminates as far
as possible all violent methods"

cision, the chains OF tyranny upon
millions of people and cements for
all time unjust and wicked annexa-

Ireland was referred to by the

mocracy OF the earth to retain revolt
ing peoples, without regard to the
righteousness Of their cause. within
the governments and powers of
which they would be free"

MUST AWAIT GENERALIZATION
Strong Arm OF law Reaches Out
Tonight at Midnight and Closes
Doors OF Liquor Houses

Washington. June 30.-President
Wilson announced tonight that he
will not suspend the operation OF the
wartime prohibition law. effective
at midnight tonight, saying, 81 am
convinced that the attorney general
is right in advising me that / have
not legal power at this time in the
matter OF the ban on liquor until
the termination OF rehabilitation.
My information is that there are
still million men in the service.
When rehabilitation is completed
my power will be exercised"
Failure OF President Wilson to act
at this time means that the long arm
OF the war time law will reach out
quietly at midnight Monday and
close the door OF every liquor estab-
lishment on American soil. Next in
public interest to President Wilson's
attitude comes the question how soon
will the army be demobilized? There
was strong belief in some quarters
tonight that this date would not be
long delayed. in view of the signing
OF the treaty, the action OF congress
in reducing the size OF the army and
the effort Of the government to bring
back all troops from abroad as
speedily as it is humanity possible.

Interest In Immigration Work Shown
BY Bills In Lsgislature

all matters concerning the flood of i'm
migration which il confidently expected
by all who are familiar with the needs
and demands Of the returning soldiers
and sailors ID shown by the fact that
there are now pending in the legislature
no less than bills directly affecting
the State Board Of Immigration and its
work. The problem was also re-
ferred to by Governor Shoup in his in
augural address. In the course Of which
he urged liberal appropriations for the
work Of the board.
Among the most important measures
affecting the department are the fol-
lowing:
The land settlement bill. which Gre
ates an ex.ofIicio board Of seven men,
bers and provides . mill levy to raise
fund Of $50. 900 for the improvement
and development Of idle lands Of the
state and their sale to soldiers. sailors.
marines and others on liberal terms.
The money will be returned to the state
In from 20 to 50 years. with interest At
@'s per cent.
The statistical bill. which provides
for the collection Of agricultural and in
dustriai statistics by Board Of Immigra-
ton thru the county ssssss0rs. II pro-
vides also for . survey Of The state. to
Be carried on in conjunction with the
state gsologist. the state engineer and
the agricultural college. Both provis-
ions are warmly supported By The COL
lege and other state institutions and
BY the United States department Of
agriculture.
The real estate license bill. prepared
BY realty men Of the state. which pro-
vides for the licensing Of real estate
dealers by the Board Of Immigration
and for revocation Of The licenses Of
dishonest dealers after . hearing before
the Commissioner Of Immigration.
The departmental appropriation bill.
which provides for fund Of >e9. 800 for
the ordinary purposes Of the depart
ment and for the state survey and the
collection Of statistics. The legislature
two ycars ago appropriated 366, 900 for
the use Of the department but subse.
quently the total was cut to $S9. 800 by
veto Of the goyenor. owing to over
appropriations.
The bill providing for appropriation
Of g. 900 to the Board for the purpose
Of reimbursing Colorado exhibitors At
approved expeditions held outside Of
the state. This bill is by Representa-.
tive Wilcox Of Montrose county.
Practically all Of the measures are
considered Of importance In reconstruc-
ton work which the state must under
