GROWERS Use
INDIAN BILL As
EXCUSE TO BARK
Aliens, Army Officers
Demobilization Are
Topics Aired.

Washington. May 23.-General debate
on the $15,00O,O00 Indian appropriation
+. bill was completed, today, by the house
in accordance with the schedule arrang-
ed by the republicans for rushing thru
appropriation measures which failed in
the last congress and which must be
passed before July 1. The bill will come
up tomorrow for debate under the five
minute rule and for final passage.
Members Of the house took advantage
of the four hours debate allowed to
speak on various subjects. Representa-
tive johnson, of Washington, chairman
of the immigration committee, urged that
the country begin Cleaning house" at
once Of all "bolshevik agitators" and
that, while this was being done, the
country's doors should be closed to other
aliens.
Representative Emerson, Of Ohio, de-
clared aliens who had earned high wages
while Americans were fighting at the
front and now are agitating against the
country were parasites which should be
stamped out.
Say Officers Delay Return.
Necessity of returning American SOL
diers from Europe as soon as possible
was urged by Representative Ballinger,
republican, of Massachusetts. who as
serted many were being held IN the army
because swivel chair officers did not
want to lose their jobs. The same
thing was true in many other government
departments, he said, urging a general
removal of "sinecure job soldiers.
During debate on the Indian appro-
priation bill. Mr. Ballinger declared the
reason the Indian was not given his full
rights of citizenship was due to opposi-
tion to the Indian bureau, officers of
which. he said, would be without jobs
once justice was done the red men.
And this is not the only department
Of the government of which this is
true, he asserted
THE boys say, and their parents say
he continued, that the only reason
hundreds Of thousands of soldiers are
not discharged is because the officers
want to hold their jobs. There are off
GERS in the army now holding the rank
Of colonel who will be put back to lieu
tenant when the boys are let out and
they want the higher rank.

Berlin, May 1S-via Berne and Paris,
May 20.-There was dozen meetings all
over Berlin, today, to protest against
the peace terms but all were gloomy and
quiet. The best speakers of the gov
ernment thundered, but not spark Of
entLsiasm could stir up in the cold,
stolid crowds which confronted them.
A mournful procession of thousand
war cripples hobbled down Unter Den
Linden. A man leaped out from the side
walk, waved his hat frantically, and cal
led 'aThree cheers for Germany! lie
was met by a storm of '.Pfui,' word
the Germans use when they wish to ex.
press great contempt, and hundreds OF
voices shouted: ''No. No. Three cheers
for Internationalism."
Communist Thrown Out
The big meeting was mostly OF sol.
diers and civilians who are members or
the "Heimatschutz' or Society Tor the
Protection of the Home.
At Busch Theater was the only mass
meeting that had any real pep. There
several speakers were howled down and
a communist orator chased out Of thea
ter.
A communist seized what he regarded
as a golden opportunity and getting on
the stage, shouted:
Comrades, save yourselves from be-
coming slaves of the entente allies. Save
your families from dying Of hunger. Be
come bolsheviki and carry on guerilla
warfare"
That was as far as he got. Everybody
was kissing "Pfuii' and eager hands
were grabbing for the bolshevik orator.
He turned around and disappeared. At
the same time | heard a sound such as

Colonel House foreshadowcd the des-
truction of constitutional government IN
the United States in his work OF flc-

hibits his disregard of law and has be-
lief in revolution. George =. Heron,

the president in 1917: He is reyo-
lutionary beyond anything his words re-

vast swarm Of his appointees are known
to be open and avowed socialists.

York's toast was drunk standing,
sandwiched in between one to President
Wilson and another to Major General

When it came York's turn to stand
up and address the diners, he showed his
modest simplicity.

said 'I'm just soldier boy-but | want
to thank the society and General Duncan

The first words of the German major
