ROUNDUP OF THE ALIENS
ABOUT EIGHT THOUSAND ARE
SLATED FOR JOURNEY
MANY UNDER ARREST
Anarchists and Their iIk will Be
Shipped Across the
Water

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. ia
Thirty alleged Socialist and I. w.
w. agitators passed through Fort
Worth enroute to Ellis Island to
await deportation 10 European
countries. The radicals were gath
erred Ey the immigration officials
in San Francisco, Tuscon, FL Paso,
San Antonio and Dallas.
Washington, Feb. 12.-Between 1000
and 5000 aliens will be dcported from
the United States as rapidly as they
can be rounded up and put on ships,
it was stated at the bureau of immi-
grafton. Many OF these are anar-
ChiSts.
Commissioner of, immigration Can't
netti said he had arrested large num-
hers OF persops during the war and
held them in the various stations of
the bureau because CT his inability
10 deport them to countries at war,
or for lack of transportation. This has
resulted in an accumulation of undesir-
able aliens.
Room for 1000 on island.
Ellis island accommodates 1000 peo-
pie and most of the space will be &C.
cupied by men and women ready for
deportation.
john Lord O'Brien, special assistant
attorney general, in charge of the en-.
forcement of the espionage and other
war acts. declared that where aliens
ordered deported resist and go to court
his department will represent the De.
partment OF Labor. He explained that
the federal laws do not extend to most
of the disorder caused by Americans
of Bolshevii tendencies. State authori-
ties have to deal with them. Under
the immigration act, he declared, it is
possible to rid the country of all alien
anarchists.
Roundup on for Months.
Commissioner Caminetti has been at'
wcrk for months taking into custody
people who rightfuily belong in other
countries,
"One of the subjects that gave the
officials of the immigration bureau
greet concern during the last two
years was that relating to the activity
of alien anarchists and persons of affil.
lated organizations which, while they
are not ayowedly anarchistic, spread
the propaganda of destruction of prop
erty and the upsetting Of the general
doctrines of government" said Mr..
Caminetti, in r oort to Secretary
Wilson on the problem af aliens in the
United States. 'N'uch evidence. has
come into the hands IF the govern
ment agents as to the pernicious and
dangerous activities of this class OF
persons"

French Experts Plan.
Paris, Feb. 12.-Leon Bourgeois, one
of the French representatives on the
commission of a society of nations.
propos Il an amendment creating an
! international military force as
means of enforcing the decisions Of
the league of nations.
This came after the commission had
virtually completed work and was con.
sidering the project for final adQp-
ton. Besides introducing the rather
formidable question of backing the
league by an armed international
force, NJ Bourgeois amendment also
creates some apprehension that re-
naming issues may not be adjusted
in time for presentation and adoption
by a plenary session of the peace con-
ference before Mr.. Wilson's departures:
next Sunday.
Argues for Two Hours.
Mr.. Bourgeois presented his amend
ment and also prepared a memoran-
dunn supporting his amendment. He
spoke with great earnestness and
some emotion was shown when 1t
vas maintained in reply that his pro-
posal, if adopted, would be uncon-
stitutional in some countries. NJ.
Bourgeois, however, continued to sup
port his amendment in an argument
of nearly two hours. 1t was finally
decided to refer the amendment and
all other details to drafting commit
tee consisting of Lord Cecil. for Eng
land; Professor Larmaude. for France;
M. Vesnitch, for Serbia, and M. Veni-
zelos. for Greece. They hope at a
meeting to reconcile differences and
! report at the next meeting on Thurs
| day.
1t will then be necessary for the
commission to approve or reject this
report Whether all this can be ac-
complished in the last days of the
week is doubtful.
One member OF the drafting COM
/ mittee said, however. that chances
were reasonably good for reaching
favorable adjustment and he ex-
pressed the belief that Premier Glenn
enceau of France, would exercise In
fiuence in securing satisfactory con-
| clusion.
The Supreme council gave its atten-
| ton today TO Belgium, hearing MN.
! Hymans, Van den Heaven and Wander
yelde, on Belgian claims for an inter
national readjustment and for changes
in the treaty of 1899 delimiting the
frontiers of Belgium and providing
that it be perpetually neutral state.

to be scrap of paper when Belgium
/ was invaded. ~.

thiriy-six hours.
The League OF Nations committee
will take final action on the constitu-
ton tomorrow, when the president was
to read the finished constitution to the
peace conference The committee is
greatly hampered because at the last
minute the constitution is not COM
pletely agreed upon. Two amendments
have been added TO the original TWEEN
ty-two.
The Two Amendments.
These amendments are said to have
been introduced by the French. who
are said to have grown steadily dis
trustful of President Wilson. Both at
committee. meetings and in the French
press it is insinuated that the presi-
dent is defending the Germans and
the bolsheviki.
This feeling of distrust has resulted
in an insistence by the French that
the constitution Of the league shall
provide for the establishment of a
large international army in France and
that greater restrictions be placed on
the Russians and the Teutons. Among
the military extensions demanded is
the occupation of Essen and other
strategic points.
View of The Americans.
French delegates oppose the Ameri-
cans in regard to the economic con-
cessions and take the position that
the Americans are favorirg the Ger
mans. The Americans contend that
they are simply showing good sense
and desire to give Germany a chance
to build up her factories in order that
she may in return be able to pay the
indemnities demanded. Great Britain
also favors this view.
The French delegates demand that
the German manufacturing plants be
held down until it is certain that the
destroyed French plants are developed
sufficiently to compete on an equal
basis. The biggest objection intsr-
posed to the French plan is that. with
the political fabric~ of Germany so
dangerously balarced, numerous re-
strictions might plunge that nation
into the very depths of chaos.
