LONDON, June 2O.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)--No definite news was '~aeeived in official circles in London that Germany intends to sign the treaty. In the event of refusal to sign, it was learned that the occupa- tidn of Berlin and the re-imposition of the blockade would almost certainly follow and that these measures would surely inrcease the amount of indem- nifty to be demanded from Germany.

This commission shah by majority vote, within three months after appointment, adopt recommenda- tions for submission to the league of nations, and the decision Of the coun- Gil shall forthwith be accepted as final by Germany and other governments corcerned.'
 Consideration of the league of na- tons occupied virtually the entire aft elnoon. Andrew Furuseth of the Sea- mems union led the group which at- ! lacked it. Furuseth said assailing the league was a most disa agreeable job to bim. but that he considered it his duty to do so although he realized he might be accused of bolshevism as a result" Furuseth said he was deeply grateful to President Wilson for all he had done for labor generally and for seamen in particular, but he could not follow him blindly'' in this proposition. Attacks Nation League If the league covenant is adopted he said, ''it will become part of the ksnpreme law of the United States. and thus will be the last expression of l legislation, and therefore will be the real legislation of the country. Yet some people say it has nothing to do with internal affhirs. If the American people and American labor agree to this, it becomes the law of the United States, and it can not be amended ex- cept by unanimous consent of all or on the battlefield"
 He termed the covenant an instru- ment to set up a super-legislature, one employer and two representatives of tke American government were to compose the delegation from the United States.
 We are not sure who is going to be the next president of the United States. That arrangement would be all right under Wilson but what guarantee is there that labor won't be outvoted three to one under another president? ?" he asked.

good motto for a coffee house.
Unless invention has died, the in.

soda water sellers who know the

them are deluded into the belief that
slabs OF near onyx or even real
marble are pleasanter to lean against
than onk or mahogany.

Fifty -four Reasons for Rejoicing.

Fifty-four aliens unfit for residence
In the United States have been gath
cred together by the Immigration Ser
vice and are held in this city for de-
portation TO the places from which
they came.
They are classified as anarchists
though undoubtedly some of them
would resent the application of that
elastic description to themselves.
Their sequestration and impending
exit from this country are encourag-
ing aud heartenlng facts to those vino
believe laws are enacted to be en-
forced, and not merely to fatten stat
ute books.
The immigration act Of 1917 not
only gives authority to the Immigra-
ton Service to keep out undesirable
applicants for admission to the coun-
try-and bars many desirable app,i-
cants through the operation of the lit
eracy test--but also provides for the
deportation of aliens who after admts-
sion prove to be undesirable members
Of the population.
While hostilities were in progress
the deportation of aliens from the
Atlantic coast was interrupted. Now
hostilltles have ceased the benefcent
outward flow of the perverse and
criminal can be resumed.

that this cleansing process is once
more In operation. 1t Is better

When near Llata. the mining engineer
and I walked down four miles TO the
Cuquis bridge and examined several
playas for evidence of test pits said to
have been dug by one OF the promoters on
his original exploration trip. We found
numerous traces Of these and noted
their location and condition on our
map. The next day tents were erected
at the bridge. the gold rocker put to-
gether. dozen native workmen en-
gagged. and a pit dug to the depth Of
ten feet. The engineer was satisfied

there was no coarse gold there. and We
had not intended to pan the concen-
trates from the rocker but an Indian,
n former employee of the men who
had owned and explored the mine, had
grabbed a pan, filled it with the con-
centrates. and proceeded to wash II
in the river. When the panning was
finished FIVE good sized gold colors were
found and we knew at once that the con-
centrates had been sailed.
In order to get rid OF the Indian who
was suspected of sailing l crossed the
Culquis bridge with him TO examine the
west side OF the river for several miles,
On returning was informed by the en-
gineer and guide that fifteen tests had
been taken from the pit sunk the day
before, and that the concentrates had
been panned without getting a single
gold color. ! then had a session with
tho Indian and accused him OF having
put gold in the pan tho previous day.
He denied this. but admitted that he
had some gold with him. This gold
he was induced to give me. and kept

Spanish. and a written statement was
secured from him concerning his con-
