 ! Senator Cummins of Iowa also ex- poets to speak during the week 9th CT senators reported to be planning criticism are Reed of Missouri and Gore of Oklahoma, democrats. Senator BOrah of Idaho, a republican member of the foreign relations committee also is said to be desirous of express ing his views at an early date.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Aliens found advocating destruction of prop erty or overthrow of the government by force will be deported under the provisions of the immigration act of February ., 1917. This announcement was made today by Secretary of Labor Wilson in a letter sharply rebuking Micrometer Lodge 46O. International Association of Machinists of Brook lyn, for protesting against the depor- tation of 5S alien radicals" The secretary denied that the aliens were being deported without due process of law, and asserted that they had been given fair trials
 Mir. Wilson reiterated his previously announced decision that no person would be arrested simply for joining the Industrial Workers of the World. but that any alien advocating sabotage or anarchy would be deported, and said:
 Win Enforce Law
 "It is my intention, as secretary of labor, now that the unusual danger of
 
 clear provision of the law; first, be- cause it is my sworn duty to do so. and, second, because any foreigner who comes to this country and advo- cates the overthrow of our form of government by force is an invading enemy. who is treated with great len iency when he is simply deported to the land from which he came,
 When our own citizens desire to change the form of government they can do so peaceably in the manner pro- vided by the constitution. If we can not make progress by the peacable process of discussing and voting we are not likely to make any progress by the riotous process of cussing and shooting. The man who cannot be de- pended upon Co vote riSht cannot be depen6ed upon to shoot right"

l65 Fl. AIRPLANE
 MADE BY GERMAN
Giant Machine, Equipped With Six Motors, lnten-
 ded as War Surprise

BERLIN, Sunday, Feb. 16-(By the Associated Press.)-If the war had lasted few months longer Germany was prepared to surprise the world with an enormous airplane The new giant of the air. which was planned by Harold Wolff, an engineer, will have its first trial at Doberitz within few days.
 The new machine is nearly 165 feet from wing tip to wing tip and stands more than g feet high. It has six motors with a total o1 1,S0O horse power, driven by four propellOrs, two of which are forward and two aft. Each of the propellors has four blades. Two of the motors, it is said, can stop simultaneously without affecting any of the prOpellors or having any result except to raise the speed of the air plane
 Apart from it's dimensions and pow CT, the new airplane lis not only equipped with devices enabling the pilots to know at all times their alti- tude and angle of elevation, but also with devices to tell the absolute as well as relative direction, which it is believed will make flying possible on the darkest night and in the thiekest fog. The device for determining the absolute direction consists of an in- strument adapted to receiving mes sages from various wireless stations and capable of such adjustment that a message from any particular station can be heard only when the device is turned in that direction.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Ex-Governor Allen of Kansas presented to the house rules committee today evidence of officers and men of the Thirsy fifth (Kansas and Missouri National Gusrd) division, which he declared, showed that at times during the great battle of the Argonne American troops fought the German artillery with in fantry arms" because there were not enough horses to move up the artil- iery as fast as the infantry advanced.
 There also were times, the governor said, when shells from the American artillery fell into the American lines, killing and wounding due to the fact that there was a lack of aircraft to signal a change" He added that everything over there fell down eX- cept the raw manpower, the Americans fighting with less mechanical assist ance than if they were troops from mdO China.

 Governor Allen submitted a mass of documents, some of them copies of official reports, in support of his charges that men were needIessly sac rificed in driving the Germans beyond the Mouse, and tomorrow he will ap- pear before the senate military com mittee.
