DRASTIC BILL
ON IMMIGRATION

Immigrants now come to the Unit
ed States freely and are required to
pass mental and physical tests, %
Chairman Johnson said, explaining
his bill. "Many classes, such as law
yers, teachers, students, merchants
and actors, are exempted from these
tests. These are the class that it is
proposed to have come with limited
passports. That is to say, they are

prospective citizen he must so state,
and agree in writing to place himself
under probation, reporting at stated
intervals. That is all there is to it.
Visitors are welcome. We have room
for desirable immigrants, but must
have a guarantee as to their con-
tinued desirability and their willing
ness to acquire not only American
citizenship but all that the word Am
ericanism implies"
Members of the committee say it
is not likely a bill suspending immi-
grafton for any stated period could
pass Congress now. A year ago it
could have passed, they add. There
is a demand, according to members,
for a provision in the new bill for
deportation Of aliens who withdraw
their first papers in order to avoid
service with the armed forces OF the
United States.

That Swimming Pool
Dear Mr.. Editor

Dear Mr.. EDITOR
In your columns recently you
undertook to start a movement to
provide for St. Johnsbury two things

the town is also in great need Of a

l would also like to get before the

Parts of wagons. br~oken-down gun

You cannot escape it in France. The

We visited the village of Montfau-

valley of the ,Meuse. 1t was a strong
point in the German defense system,
and the hillside looking toward the
chine guh nests. The town was
knocked to pieces by our artillery;
heavy, naval guns fired fifteen-inch
shells into it.
Where Crown Prince Stayed.
We saw, at the very crown of the
hill, a cemetery that had been badly
used. The Germans had tossed aside
bones, dug down through stone maui
soleums, and made veritable wells,
which they lined with brick. and used
as shelters. One of these was pointed
out to us as h refuge of the crown
prince. Safe at the bottom of the

Someone told me hat it cost US
10000 casualties to lake Montfaucan,
but this seems exaggerated. We had
to have the hill and the town, and
we took them in spite of losses.

that, who forgot his wound in show
ing that he meant no d%isrespect!"
It was ten weeks after the Argonne
battle that we passed over part Of
the field where our men won DEATH
less glory by their. willing advance
against and through obstacles that
are beyond the grasp Of realization
unless they are seen. Having seen,
I shall carry with ms to my last day
the feeling Of admiration for our men
that was engendered there. They
have given us new reasons to be
humbly proud of sharing American
citizenship with them.
The Wilderness Battle.
Late in September the Allies be-
gan their great movements to drive
the Germans out Of France. They
aimed to push back the Germans as
one would close a door. The hinge
was just north of Verdun, and the
outer edge of the door touched the
English channel. To the Americans
was assigned the task of pushing on
the sector nearest the hinge, and in
doing this they were expected to
sweep through the Argonne forest, q
tangled wilderness spread over pre-
ctpitous hillsides and in narrow, deep
raxines.
Back in New York. a news editor
lon n of the evening papers insisted
upon playing up the Argonne battle
during It's progress, though at the
time it did not get credit for being
opposed, he pounded his fist on the
desk and declared, II tell you the
war is being won right there!"
|, He was right. This I say in full
knowledge Of all the wonderful
achievements Of our Allies long be.

after. The American army in the
Argonne was headed for Sedan, the
chief railroad center on the Germans
southern line Of communication
With communications cut, the Ger.
man army would have been penned
up in Belgium. The Americans
reached Sedan on the last day Of the
war. The Germans knew when tc

" Our Great Casualties.
Do not understand me to say thai
we won the war unaided; far from
1t. But do not underestimate wha'
was accomplished in a campaign tha'
cost us 10000 casualties, three
tipnes the total losses of the Federals
and Confederates at Gettysburg.
Today, the Argonne battlefield is 9

ss III Apparently apologies are due from
the GrandfForks Post of the American
Legion to the local Socialist organ.
y The legion had the presumption to
select a speaker for the Armistice day
program without consulting the Town
ley sheet or the Socialist administra-
ton Of the state. In doing SO it nov
rights, when ]. ID. Bacon was invited
to speak at the banquet. At least so
declares Mi. Townley's editor.
Many Of the members of the post
now acknowledge the error, and adj
init that instead Of inviting MI. Bacon
to speak at a patriotic gathering 1t
would have been far more appropriate
to have selected al a speaker A.. c.
Townley,. who was recently convicted
by 2 farmers jury OF conspiring to
teach disloyalty, during the war;, or
perhaps Victor l. Berger, whose dis
loyalty led to his expulsion from con-
g1ess q few days ago.
Mr.. Bacon being 100 per cent
American, and a loyal booster for the
legion, the Townley sheet is justly
lncensed.
Besides which when one considers
that the Grand Forks Post Of the
American Legion has dared to regu-
late its own affairs without first asking
permission of the Socialist press, or
the Socialist administration "one can
only wonder at the moderation Of the
Socialist editor in not demanding that
the Legion be suppressed, under the
martial law proclaimed by Mr.. Town
ley's mouthpiece at Bismarck.
4. Hassell's Statement.
1.-THE facts Of the case are these"
said Clarence Hassell, chairman Of the
~~4An ~0vav St%An m 10y roTn anf ia
for the Armistice day program, when
his attention was called today to an
article in, the Socialist organ attack
ing Nj. Bacon's right to speak at the
banquet. 1.-The committee decided at
noon Armistice day to invite a num-
Der Of the business men who had been
most active in their support of the
Legion In its program for Armistice
day, and in, its general activities to
be present at the banquet. Mr.. Bacon
was Of these.
Later it was decided to have three
short addresses, the speakers to speak
for the Legion, the service men in
general, and the business men, and
general public, respectively. Mr..
Bacon, was chosen to deliver the last
address, as man who a represen-
tatfve of the business men of the city,
and 100 per cent American. Neither
the Commercial club, nor any other
organization was asked to select
speakers. The Legion committee felt
that it had a perfect right to do this.
