ANARCHIST SOCIETIES
RAIDED BY POLICE

Paris, Feb. 20.-E. Coffin, who at
tempted to assassinate Premier Glenn
enceau, spent last night at police
headquarters where M. TanGuy, under
commissioner of police, went over
with him documents, literature and
correspondence seized in Lottin's
room. AS result of the material
found, the police today made several
raids, particularly at the Liberty So
ciety. The police say the society has
anarchical tendencies. Its headquar-
ters at So Boulevard Belleville were
ser rched and much literature seized
The Communist Federation of the
Seine at 81 Boulevard Belleville also
was searched. Papers were seized, but
no arrests made. Police visited the
homes of two correspondents of Cot
tin One is Rosky, a Russian, and he
and the other man had been known to
the police as militant anarchists. The
Beiieville section has long been under
police surveillance as meeting place
of anarchists.

Chicago, Feb. GA maximum
prison sentence of twenty years was
imposed by Federal judge Lands
today on Congressman-elect Victor
L. Berger of Milwaukee and four
other socialist leaders, who in final
pleas likened themselves to history's
greatest martyrs.
The five men convicted of con-
spiracy to obstruct the draft in vio-
lation of the espionage act, obtained
release on $4,000 bail from Judge
Alschu,er and declared they would
carry their legal fight to the United
States supreme court, if necessary.
Besides Berger, publisher of the
Milwaukee Leader, the other con-
victed men are:
Rev. Irwin st. John Tucker, lec-
turer and writer.
Adolph Germer, national secretary
of the socialist party.
j. Louis Engdahl, editor of the
American Socialist.
William f. Kruse, head of the
Young Peoples Socialist league.
Judge Landis granted filing of a
petition for writ of error. Counsel
for the men went before Judge Sam
uel =. Aschuler of the United States
circuit court of appeals and asked
for bail.
S25.O0O Bail Furnished.
Judge Alschuler said he hestated
to grant the motion for bail lest the
defendants continue their socialistic
agitation. He interviewed each of
the five and then granted them bail,
increased from $4,000 to $25,0O0,
with the understanding that they re-
frain from resuming their former
acts and utterance during the pend
ency of their case. William Bross
Lloyd Chicago millionaire, who was
the socialist candidate for United
states senator at the last election,
provided surety for the five. Berger
and his four associates took tlul adj
vantage of the customary inquiry of
the Judge whether they had anything
to say before sentence was passed
and the Milwaukee congressman
elect finished reading his 1000 word
typewriter statement with tears
streaming down his face.
The war was an imperialistic and
commercial one, Berger declared,
and "over half the white race is in a
chaotic state of revolution out of
which must develop an orderly So
cialist reign within five years"
He declared that If the present
System" continued, the capitalists
would "surty create anarchism,'
and would prepare this country for
a revolution such as the world has
never seen before"

Senator From New Mexico Not
to Be Present When Pro-

WILSON'S MESSAGE
MAY Be THE REASON
Probable That Chief Execu-
tive'S Action in Taking Hand

Cause of the Friction,

Last night the Morning Journal
wired Senator Fall to give his reasons
for declining to attend the White
House dinner. His reply follows:
Three Rivers, n. NJ, Feb. 20.-Y Yes-
terday | wired Secretary Tumulty:
Your letter of the 18th containing
paraphrase of the presidents cable
message of the 14th was received to-
day from my office. should be much
pleased to hear the president fully
and upon each article OF the pro-
posed league of nations. ! could not,
however, agree to treat as confidential
any such explanation or even state
ment of fact as a basis for such ar
gument, and with the utmost defer
ence | must say as my reason for de-
clning tho dinner invitation for the
2Sth that the statement in my opinion
should be made to a joint public ses-
sion OF congress to the end that while
receiving the earnest and respectful
attention of the proper committees
the various articles and the presi-
dents real reasons for advocating
same might at the same time be con-
sidered by all members of congress
and all the people and thus true pub
lie opinion could be properly and
fully informed and have an oppor-
tunlty for making itself felt"
The presidents cable directed to
be handed TO members of the foreign
affairs committee by Secretary Tu-
multy says: ''There is a good and
sufficient reason for the phraseology
and substance of each article" and
then follows the request for no debate
until after hearing him.
| feel perfectly competent to weigh
and ascertain the meaning of these
articles. The presidents arguments
or reasons for same might possibly
influence me hi, ! know the practice

president tells them he wants has
been in the senate 10 insinuate that
others opposing any proposition did
not understand and were not fully in
formed and thus make an impression,
while declining to give any additional
facts or information upon the plea
that the presidents confidence must
be respected.
| favor open diplomacy and will
not allow my mouth to be closed upon
any phase of this great question. |

firmation of Mr.. Williams re-appoint-
ment by President Wilson.
Representative McFadden of Penn

LITHUANIANS
DO HARD WORK
OF AME RIGA
Famous Chemist Tells Of I'm
portance of People Of This
Nationality to the
United States.

P. J. Zuris of New York City,
who has visited the local Lithuanian
colony, lectured on the Future of
Lithuania." He pointed out the OPP
portunities of Lithuania in an ad-
dress here.
Mr.. Zuris is chemist, formerly
of Syracuse university of Syracuse,
N. Y. He has been an editor of
Syracuse University Cosmopolitan
Student. During the war he served
as chemist in the United States
chemical warfare service, as a SER
geant. After service, he organized
tie first Lithuanian shoe factory an
America, at Brockton, Mass. Now he
is with the Lithuanian Development
corporation, which is exporting to
Lithuania.
THE Lithuanians, who are 100000
strong in America, and who live
among you here in Omaha are 200
in number, are very lite known to
you, yet they dig your coal, dig and
smelt the iron in your foundries, fell
your trees, clear the lands for new
cities, slaughter the cattle and pack
them for the market" he said. In a
word they do all the hard work. Yet
these people, although all peaceful
workingmen, they demand, COM
raratively speaking, high wages and
are willing to work for them. This
necessarily means higher standard
Of living.
THE chief Lithuanian centers in
America are Wyoming, Lehigh and
Shenandoah valleys, l. e., hard coal
regions Of Pennsylvania. Here
T there are over 100000. The tailor
ing of New York City and Brooklyn
is practically carried on by the Lith-
uanians. Boston and its cluster of
small towns, engaged in production
of boots and shoes, are great Lith-
uanian centers. The we'll known
Brockton shoes are, to a great de-
gree, Lithuanian products. Chicago
has 100000 Lithuanians, who are
chiefly employed in packing houses:
Your own city has 1900, whose chief
occupation is in packing houses.
"You meet these people every
day, work with them and participate
in all walks of life, yet you do not
know them. The Lithuanians of
America have given 10000 soldiers,
purchased over $36,000,000 worth of
Liberty bonds and did their bit SO
that the Americans might aid them
when the time comes.
"The Lithuanians come from the
western part of Europe. Up to the
10th century Lithuania has been a
free country. Its people have lived
on Baltic shores from the remotest
ages. Tacitus in his works refer
ring to Sudenai, Galindae, ct Traki
(the three chief branches of Lith-
uanians), refers to them as peace
full, hospitable and the most ancient
inhabitants OF Europe. Further, he
points out that they are superior in
civilization, for they have carried
on agriculture when Helvelli, Gauls,
and other rowing tribes, from which
the present Europe sprung, were
yet in a primitive stage"
