ALIENS DEPARTING
BY THE THOUSANDS
MANY OF THEM, WITH BIG WADS
OF MONEY, LEAVE WITHOUT
PAYING INCOME TAX.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-More than a
million dollars in unpaid income tax
es has been collected by Uncle Sam
in the past eight weeks from for
eigners embarking here for Europe.
Vast sums of money are being Ia
ken out of the country daily. Hordes
of people of many nationalities, who
have grown rich on high wages in
war factories, are focking back to
the lands of their birth now freed
from the burden of war.
Thousands of them got away with
big accumulations paying cent of
income tau.
Now every alien is examined by
revenue men before his passport is
stamped. Daily long lines of them
wind around the corridors of the Gus
tom house.
Two thousand men leave this port
every day. Seventy-five per cent. are
Italians. Everyone has a big wad of
money, mostly earned in factories in
such cities as Pittsburg, Youngstown,
Cleveland and Detroit.

REVOLUTION PLANS
FOUND in BIG RAID
TRUCK LOADS OF PAPERS Ia
KEN WHEN SOCIALIST QUAR-
TIERS ARE RAIDED.

NEW Written and print
ed programs for the social revolution
we're taken in truck loads yesterday
afternoon from the Rand School in
East Fifteenth street, the l. W. w.
headquarters in Fourth street, and
the rooms of the Left Wing of the
socialist party at 43 West Twenty
ninth street.
No arrests were made and none
of the persons about the three places
were detained. The raiders searched
the premises specified in co-opera-
ton with the occupants. They took
with them not only samples of the
literature available, but account
books, letter files and membership
lists. Receipts were given the Gus
todians for all property taken.
Wide Range of Literature.
The literature ranged in subject
from the free love and birth control
tracts found in the Rand schoolbook
store to the official program of the
left wing of the socialist party,
which, after reciting the history of
socialism and the way it had been
BETRAYED by the right wingers
throughout the world, announced its
plans as follows:
"This bourgeois state must be de-
stroyed by the mass action OF the
revolutionary proletariat. 1t is the
task of a revolutionary socialist par
tv to provide a program and to so
direct the workers efforts that when
the crisis comes the workers will be
prepared to accept program OF tne
following character:
"The organization of workmen S
councils.
"The workmen's control of indus
try.
"The reputation of national debts.
"The appropriation of the banks.
"The appropriation of the railways
and the large (trusts) organizations
of capital. In this case there will be
no compensation, no buying out or
present possessors, lest the working
men continue to be exploited, but
during the transitional stage meas
ures will be taken for the protection
of small stock owners in these enter
prises.
"The Specialization OF forelgh
trade"
The manifesto then goes on to re-
pudiate all other methods OF bringing
about the revolution.

TRAINS MOVElLIKE
SNAILS In RUMANIA
MASSES OF HUMANITY FILL
RAILROAD YARDS AND SLEEP
IN OPEN WHILE WAITING.

BUCHAREST.-Tr throughout
Rumania is the supreme test of pa
thence and endurance. From Bel
Grade, Siberia, to Bucharest the IA
vorite route is via steamboat on the
Danube as far as Turnu-Severin.
Thence a train leaves daily for Buch-
Arrest, covering the 200 miles in about
thirty hours.
The train, cowcatcher, car roofs
and running boards are packed with
a solid mass of humanity before the
train starts out at Turnu-Severin. At
every station along the route long
stops are made while the crowds
fight to get aboard the already over
loaded train.
Sleep Out in the Open.
At the junction points of Cracova,
Piatra and Pitesci dense masses of
humanity fill the railroad yards and
sleep out in the open sometimes Tor
DAYS waiting for the train. When the
Bucharest bound train comes IN to
these stations the mobs rush it with
wild howls and those aboard the cars,
especially those on the roofs, are
compelled to fight for their places.
The police and soldiers are frequent
1y forced to make wholesale arrests
and to charge the mobs.
Germany has carried off all OF
Rumania's oil burning locomotives
and the engines which remain burn
a low grade Ignite. In order to
shield themselves from the live sparks
of the locomotive the hundreds OF
refugees sleeping on top of the pas
senger and freight cars comprising
the bucharest Express" cover them
selves with their blankets, which they
wet along the route.
Some Fall From Roof.
Occasionally the train stops during
the night to pick up a passenger VINO
has fallen from the roof during his
sleep. Fatal accidents are common
with hundreds of refugees sleeping
on the train roofs. Inside the coach
es the aisles are impossible.
Along the railroad tracks are the
burned skeletons of dozens of trains
to which the Germans set fire. Only
the wheels and steel trucks remain.
In all parts of Rumania the bridges
are destroyed. No matter where one
travels in Rumania American Red
Cross field workers are encountered
feeding the population.

CAPITAL REMOVAL
DOMINATING ISSUE
TO BE DECIDED AT POLLS. BOTH
BRANCHES OF LEGISLATURE
WANT 1T SETTLED.

ATLANTA, Ga.--A stone noun
tain pushed up in front of the propo-
sition now wouldn't keep from COM
ing to a vote at this session of the
legislature the proposition to submit
to a vote of the people the issue of
removal of the state capital from At
lanta to Macon.
When the members of the two
branches began to arrive there was
an atmosphere of something like ST.
lent mystery, but it broke forth open
ly and strongly a day or two after
wards, when the Atlanta afternoon
newspapers got onto what was hap
pening and printed front page stories
announcing that the issue will be
pitched for settlement in the very
first days of the session.
This has been the most talked-of
and strenuously urged If all the
prospective legislation. not excluding
the administration bills, and it has
been the marked exception when a
member Of either branch has been
found opposed to the proposition that
the issue must be settled this year so
far as the legislature is concerned,
and that the bill will he passed sui
hitting It to the people at the newt
general election,
Advocates of The bill, and many of
Thorn are from }ho EUoCr mart of the
state, take a position similar to that
announced by Gov. Dorsey that it is
a handicap on the state for it to re-
main an unsettled agitation, and
should be brought to an end one way
or another by a verdict at the ballot
box

GERM HUNTERS STOP
Dill. Nv OF DRINKS
SLIPPERS HAVE TO GO
IN DOORS FOR SODA AND
COCA-COLA NOW.

ATLANTA, Ga.-You may now
add another to the staggering bur-
den of hardships borne by the tired
motorist. He has to climb out of his
Henry Special and go after his drink
every time he feels thirsty now
adays and drives up before his ia
vorite, though soft, drinking ken.
For the day has passed when the
bright youth retained for just such
great occasions will come dashing
out with his white apron and barred
feet and freckles to look 'em over
and see what they'll have. That day
has slid into the limbo of dark and
unenlightened times.
Germs sent it to its fate; germs
and a certain inspector for the pub
lie health service named Speigel.
Long ago city council passed an
ordinance prohibiting the delivery of
drinks away from the dispensary I'M
less they were covered. The ordi-
nance was intended to deal with what
once was known as the long haul.
But it didn't say so specifically.
And lately Speigel has been knock
ing about on a still hunt for germs.
That's what the uninitiated call it.
He ambled out Peachtree and at 10th
street saw a lad answering the de-
scription in paragraph two trot out
to waiting automobile with a tray
of soft drinks. And there wasn't
either cover or sign of one on them.
And the fountain where they were
concocted was fully thirty feet away.
And they'd come all that far with
germs ready to pounce into 'em at
every step.
So charge was brought against
the pharmacy under the ancient and
aggrieved ordinance. And the pro
prietor was assessed a fine. He didn't
keep it to himself. He told all the
other druggists and soda water men.
And they are playing it safe.
Wherefore you have to go indoors
for 'em now.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
TAKE FRENCH BRIDES
Marriage of French Girls to Negroes
Has Caused American and French
Authorities Much Trouble.

PARIS.-More than 5000 Amer
lean soldiers are reported to have
married French girls. In most cases
the marriages have been regular
throughout.
In some unfortunate cases mar
riages have become dissolved at the
port of embarkation, the young wo-
men who supposed themselves to be
wives finding that they. had been
tricked. Some soldiers have been
forced to confess that they have
wives in the United States.
One sort of marriage that has
caused much trouble for French and
American authorities is that of
French girls to negro soldiers. There
is no Law prohibiting such marriages
in France. Some of the girls so
welded have changed their minds
when their future life in America is
pictured to them.

TRIES TO CLAMP
THE SOFT DRINK Lid
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUES ATTOR-
NEY is SUSPICIOUS. WOULD
BAR ALL CAMOUFLAGE.

WASHINGTON drinks with
the potentiality of fermenting and
hardening" are under observation
by the Anti-Saloon League because
the near beers and that class of. bev-
erages might be used as camoufiage
for the purveyance of sitter liquors.
Wayne B. Wheeler, attorney for
the league, today told the senate
judiciary subcommittee, which is
framing the prohibition enforcement
law, that the law must be tight
enough to make sure that nothing al
coholic should escape it. He wanted
definition of alcoholic beverages
that would bar anything with more
than one-half of per cent. of all
cohol.
How About Buttermilk?
Senator Walsh, of Montana, in
quired how about the ACCESSIBILITY of
shutting out buttermilk. He explain
ed that it is fermented drink, con-
tains some alcohol and might be OBJ
jectionable to Mr.. Wheeler. The dry
lawyer admitted that he is an ardent
buttermilk consumer himself and
didn't believe it was vicious. But, he
confessed, he "hadn't a suspicion
there was any alcohol in it,
Then it developed that grape juice,

them on too narrow margin-they
want it widened. 1t seems that
grapes have been so long used to fer

best regulated plants, they get I'M
duly enthusiastic and before the
realizes what is doing

hol than could be permitted under
Mr.. Wheeler's rule.
Grape Juice, Too.
The Ohio folks would like grape
juice excepted from the legislation.
Mr.. Wheeler told the committee that
of the law were trying to
get legislation that would permit a
variety of evasions and tend to bring
the legislation more or less into dis
repute because of the difficulties of
enforcing it. He insisted that it must
be a sound, working enactment, and
to that end Endorsed the measure by
Senator Nelson, Minnesota, which de-
signs to bar beverages containing any

orally if they do not carry more than
one-half per cent of alcohol.

LEST WE FORGET,

While the world is still bleeding from
its war wounds the United States Pub
lie Health Service has issued timely
warning against an enemy at home
which annually claims many more vic
tins than war, and which unlike Ger
many has not been rendered impotent
tuberculosis.
Every three minutes this scourge
claims one life in the United States.
Every year it lowers national efiicien-
cy by depriving the nation OF hun
dreds of thousands of young men and
women.
tuberculosis is preventable by
proper living. Taken in time, it is
durable. 1t is largely the ignorant
and careless who suffer, because
they are not aware that they are vic
tins until it is too late, or if aware,
depend on patent medicines and
quacks instead of the best medical
skill, wholesome foods. rest and
fresh air.
Intent on guarding the nations
health, the United States Public
Health Service has just published
leaflet, one of its Keep Well Series
entitled "How to avoid tuberculosis
1t gives the symptoms briefly and SIM
ply: "Slight cough, lasting month
or longer: loss of weight; slight fe-
yer in the afternoon, night sweats;
bleeding from the lungs. II any OF
these symptoms develop the Public
Health Service urges you to consult
an able physician at once.
In addition to this. the leaflet out
lines the proper method of living.
which. if followed, would not only go
far to prevent tuberculosis but many
other human ailments.
