 TALKING LEAGUE

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-Debate on the constitution of the league Of na- tion probably will begin in the senate within a day or two. despite President Wilson's request that discussion be postponed until he has conferred with members of the senate and house for eign relations committees at the White House February 26.
 Senator Poindexter of Washington republican. who recently issued state ment sharply criticising several fea- lures of the league plan, intends to open the attack Wednesday. His ad- dress is expected to precipitate gen. eral debate, but whether members of the foreign relations committee will participate appears doubtful. as most of them apparently are disposed to ac- cede to the presidents request.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa also ex- poets to speak during the week. Other senators understood to be planning criticism are Reed of Missouri and Gore of Oklahoma, democrats.
 Senator Borah of Idaho, n republican member of the foreign relations com mittee. also is said to be desirous of expressing his views at an early date.

HS DEPORTATION IF
 VICIOUS ALIENS

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 3, 1917. This announcement was made today by Secretary of La bor Wilson. in letter sharply rebuk- ing Micrometer lodge 46O, International Association of Machinists of Brook lyn. for protesting against the depor- tation of 5S "alien radicals.
 MT. Wilson reiterated his previously announced decision that no person would be arrested simply for joining the Industrial Workers of the World, but said that any alien advocating sabotage or anarchy would be deported and said:
 Ut is my intention as secretary of labor. now that the danger of sea travel is over, to carry out the clear provisions of the law; first, because it is my sworn duty to do so: and sec ond. because any foreigner who comes to this country and advocates the over throw of our form of government by force is an invading enemy, who is 1 treated with great tendency when he 1 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 | provided by the constitution. If We can not make progress by the peaceabie | process of discussion and voting. we are not likely to make any progress by ! the riotous process of cussing and l shooting. The man who cannot he de- | pended upon 10 vote right, cannot be ! depended upon to shoot right"
 Mr. Wilson called the unions atten-
 ton to the fact that passage of the
 immigration act was strongly support ed by the American Federation of La Dor 'of which you are a part" Discussing the deportations. the sec-
 retary said:
 Those you refer 10 as radicals ar,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Senate ment today on the s40O,000,O 900 postof- flee appropriation bill, by eliminating the senate amendment providing for pneumatic tube mail service in New York city. and Brooklyn, and retaining the senate amendment, appropriating s2OO, 100000 for road construction dur ing the next three yetrs. The pneu- matic tube amendment, over which the conferees have been deadlocked for a week, authorized the postmaster gen. eral to contract for tube service in New York and Brooklyn and prohibited removal of the service from postof- fices in other cities, in which it former ly was used for mail transmission.
 Continuation of the tube service has been a source of conflict for many years in congress, and the last post office appropriation bill was vetoed by President Wilson. because of Postmas- ter General BurleSonS opposition to its appropriation for the tube service.
 
 The senate provision for a road bull ing program provides s50000,0eO for this year and $75,O00,O00 for each oi the three following years. The house conferees also yielded in the senate ap. propriation of s300,000 for motor trucl service. The house bill set aside s1,. 000,000 for this service.
 The conferees voted to retain tn, | provision granting salary increases fo postal employees, but accepted the sen ate recommendation limiting this in crease to the present fiscal year. Els | tablishment of a commission to inves tigate the salaries of postal employees which the senate inserted, was also re tained, as was the senate provision ap

Apart from it's dimensions and power, the new airplane is 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 thickest fog.
 The device for demonstrating 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.

 CONDITION AT CAMP
 0F J. 5. INFLAMMATION
Senator Owen Arouses Baker
 To Seek More Facilities
 For Bringing Troops Home-Railroad Crowded
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Senator | Robert L. owen of Oklahoma will be | invited to tell the senate military com mittee of conditions at the American authorization camp at Brest, which he sharply criticised in a statement today, after his arrival in New York from France.
 Secretary Baker also expects Sen ator owen to call at the war depart ment soon to inform officials there of what he saw at this much dis cussed center of the American army's homeward journey.
 Secretary Baker said today that he was delighted that Senator Owen had been at the camp and after reading what the senator had to say declared the war department was combing ev- cry source for additional shipping to bring the troops home.
 As to the crowding at Brest," the | secretary concluded, T have not the means of knowing what the answer to | that is. I have been told-and I do not like to say that l have been told, because it sounds so unauthoritative- but I have been told that the French railroad congestion is such that it is necessary for us to use the French railroads when we can get them. They | ization and for the British, and as a consequence we have to use them ! when We can get them.
 That might mean sending more peo- pie into Brest and keeping them longer than we would desire them to be there in anticipation of the known capacity of the transport fleet in order to make sure to have enough men there when the transports come in. That is the answer l have heard from officers who have returned to this country, but whether an error has been made about that and the French railroad difficulty has been overestimated I cannot say, because l don't know.
 Handicapped by Mud
 When the senator says 'unsanitary, I do not think he means unsanitary in the sense that it is unclean. There are simply oceans of mud there. know that because ] was at Brest sub stantially at this time last year. Ii rains there 330 days out of 365, and sometimes five times a day. The mud
 seems to be our big trouble there" The secretary added that returning l, officers and others who had passed through Brest recently had told hin , food conditions were very good, anC . that outside of the weather and the , mud, they saw little to complain of
 He said he could well imagine the feel ing of the men waiting in that camJ for returning ships. however, and full \ ly sympatized with all the disconten and unhappiness that this waiting un
