A Threatened Invasion. :

The State Department, and Con-
gress through Secretary, lansing. are
advised that European reds in num-
bars are trying to reach America for
propaganda purposes. They are active
with their designs in several coun:
tries, notably Russia. Il 4s.-
These yresolutionists- are spufred on
by two considerations. In the first
place they know of the present wide
spread nRrest in this country, and the
nature of its manifestations. Their
friends and agents here are. keeping
them Informed about the strikes and
the tone of the radical press, and their
notion b that now is the time for
them to get into the picture; to put
their experience as agitators at the
service of those already on the scene
and playing the game. --r -.
In the second place, they are look
ing with hungry eyes on the fich

The Police Pay Bill.

The action of the House of Repre-
sentatives in promptly passing the
bill carrying increases in pay for
members of the metropolitan police
force and incorporating into the meas
ure clause peremptorily forbidding
Washington policemen to join any or
ganization which might call strike
entities that body to double congratu-
lations from Washingtonians. The in
vestigation into the needs of the po-
lice force was expeditiously handled
when once undertaken, the bill
promptly reported out, and passed
with a vote which indicates beyond all
measure of doubt the conviction on
Capitol Hill that men performing the
services of officers of the law in the
shadow of the edifce where those laws
are drafted, deserve and need the
substantial salary increases provided.
It is now possible to recruit the local
force to full strength with men of
the caliber. essential to the arduous
and delicate functions of policemen
and reward the fidelity of the. veterans
Of the force, who have stood by their
jobs when their pay envelopes were
much too thin. =,
The qualification of Washingtonians
over the clause prohibiting the dan
eerous and improper afiiliation of the
Washington police force with outside
organizations lies in the national,
rather than the local, significance of
the act. For the local force, once the
danger and the impropriety of an af-
filiation of the type under considera-
tion became clear to them, abandoned
it and vindicated the National Capt.
tails belief in them. This clause of
the bill, then, becomes significant, not
as barrier to the metropolitan police
force, but as a timely, piece Of warn.
ing and advice to state and muniei.

choicest spot on earth. II Is rich In
everything. Hence the keen desire Of
foreign reds to. cross the Atlantic and
lend a hand toward bolshevizing the
United States.
Their calculations about conditions
here are all awry. True, copditions
are bad enough, and worse than the
country hitherto has known. They
are rejecting the world unrest. Con-
ditions everywhere are bad, and in
some countries chaotic. Russia's. could
hardly be more appalling. But Amer
lea is far from Russia, and, for that
matter, far from any other European
country, ,..- ......-
These men would fail of their pur-
pose if they succeeded in getting here.
They would find it impossible to dupli-
cate in America their achievements at
home. But, trained schemers and
trouble makers as they are. they could
add no little to, troubles already ex-
isting, and force repressive measures
of an extreme character.
On that account, and on every ac-
count, they should be kept out Of the
country. Undesirable at all times,
they are especially undesirable now.
We are faced with a situation whose
gravity We are just beginning to ap-
preciate. Agitators-some of them ma
tive to the soil-have for long time
been fomenting discomfort and preach
ing revolution, and their activities
have either been overlooked or under
rated. The result is appearing in
many quarters.
But the public is at last wise to con-
ditions and the need of remedies, and
remedies will be found. It is incon
ceivable that, with our record for
handling big things and meeting big
emergencies, we should, with all Of
our institutions intact and function

If we turn to Mr.. Balfour we find
man in the late seventies, who has
been active in office in the midst Of
war, very active in the peace confer
ence, and yet is still standing up to
good deal Of work. He, too, began

permitted his books to separate him

Mr.. Lloyd George is younger, but

| Badewitz, who began mauling him be-
fore the sentry even had told his
story. After a while Badewitz quit
pounding the cook, and listened to the
sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook
had put note in the dixie before he
dropped it, so they beat him up again
and put him in irons. After that they
sent the rest of the cooks back. and
would not let them on deck again.
They had plenty of canned goods and
meat aboard, but they would not give
US any.
Five Of the men were buried at sea
that day. More men were going mad
every minute, and it was a terrible
place; pitch dark, grimy, loose coal
underfoot, coal-dusty air to breathe,
body-tilth everywhere. Some of the
crazy men howled like dogs. But we
were not as much afraid of these as
we were Of the others who kept still,
but slipped around in the dark with
Jumps Of coal in their hands. We
got so we would not go near each
other for fearwe were running into
crazy man. Those of us who were
sane collected as near the fiddley as
we could, and we would not let the
others get near us, but showed them
back or SHE'D Jumps Of coal at them.
And every once in while some one
Of us would begin to act queer. May
be he would let out a howl suddenly,
without any warning. Or he would
just quit talking and begin to sneak
around. Or he would squat down and
begin to humble. We could not tell
just when q man had begun to lose
his mind. He would seem just like
the rest of us, because none Of US was
much better than beast.
We could not take turns sleeping
and standing watch against the crazy
men, because when we talked about
it, we agreed that none of us could
tell whether or not the sentries would
go crazy while on watch and have the
rest of us at their mercy It was -aH--
full to talk about going crazy in this
way, and to figure that you yourself
might be the next, and that it was al
most sure to happen if you did not
get some sleep soon. But it was worse
to find man near you going, and have
to boot him out with the other insane
men.
The days passed Ike that, with
nothing to do but suffer, and starye
and freeze. 1t got colder and colder,
and all we could wrap ourselves in
was the coal. We began to speculate
on where we were. 1t was not till
later than an old skipper in our bunch
told us that we had rounded tho north
ern coast of Iceland.
Finally, one day, lad yelled down
"Landw and we all dove for the fid-
dley like wild men, and those who
could get near enough looked out, and
sure enough! there was the coast of
Norway, very rugged and rocky and
covered with snow. We thought it
was all over then, and that we would
be landed at Bergen sure. Then there
was the usual running around and
yelling on deck, and we were not so
sure we would be landed, and very
suddenly 1t got colder than ever.
I was in the fiddley, aching to get
out, and ready for anything that
might happen, when the door opened

flashed searchlight. They picked up
Joyce right away, but Barney was
making good Roadway and was almost
free when they dragged him in. They
beat them up on the patrol boat, and
when they put them back on the
Yarrowdale Badewitz beat them UP
some more and put them in irons.
Then he began to shoot at their feet
with his revolver, and he had sailor
stand by to hand him another revolt
yer when the first one was empty.
Then he would cash their faces with
the barrel of the revolver and shout,
"Im BadewitZ. I'm the man who
fooled the English" and shoot at them
some more.
All the while the sailors were cele-

they were having great fest. After
