trained before it went into action, and the
fact is used as an argument for compulsory
universal military training. Entirely apart
from the merits or demerits of the suggested
plan, it may be noted that the training the
men got eventually was one possible only in
actual warfare, and the penalty paid was
also paid by every other participating nation,

BERKMAN's YELLOW STREAK
Anarchist Showed His Cowardlce I'm.
medisteIy Following His Attempt
to Assasslnate n. c. FrIck
In Pittsburgh .
BY GEORGE NOX MCCAIN

TNHE examination of Alexander Bcrkman
and Emma Goldman in New York for the
purpose of securing sufficient evidence to
justify the deportation of these notorious
anarchists has been dragging its weary length
for weeks.
The pair should have been dcported long
ere this. Bcrkman in particular has a
criminal record that in itself should be
sufficient to return him to his native Rus
sia No other country under the sun would
have wasted SO much time and money in
attempting to prove that this mad dog of
civilization was unworthy of an asylum
An aggravating feature of the proceeding
to every right minded American in this con-
nection is the publication of excerpts from
Berkman's egotistical and blatant account
OF his exploits against individuals and law
and order since he first landed in this
country.
Particularly offensive is his self glorifica-
ton in connection with his attempt to as
sassinatc II. G. Frick in Pittsburgh during
the Homestead riots of 1892. II is the at
tempt of would be murderer to Justify
and excuse his crime 10 place upon record,
arrogantly and boastfully. the details Of an
attempted homicide for which he dcScrvcdly
spent years in prison.
But BcrkmAn's experience within prison
walls failed to straightcn the kinks in his
diSordercd brain. Ever since his release
from the Western Pcnitcntiary his hand has
been against the government and society.
He cndcGVOrcd in every possible way to
foment Scdition during the recent war and
as result he again donncd the stripes for
ihc upriOU of n sentence all too short

Everyday History
By Mel Graham
THE GRAVE OF EMPIRES

History offers no more peculiar
spectacle than the tragic end of every
civilization that has sprung up in AT
RIGA. Not one of the mighty coun-
tries that once fourished there have
remained to this day. Egypt, a great
and civilized empire five thousand
wears ago, died. Carthage, that once
challenged the Roman Empire, has
disappeared, as did the Empire OF the
Fatimites; Abysnia, nominally white
and Christian empire, is almost dead,
and the Kingdom of the Vandals, and
the civilization of the Moors alike
fell. No great negro empire has ever
made its appearance. Liberia, plant
ed in the hope that the Negro would
develop new and unique civilization
of his own, and given every sort OF
encouragement that new colony
could wish in the way of material
equipment, has degenerated into
worthless and almost forgotten state.
Africa today is continent of ruins
that tell of former civilizations that
have supplanted by the newer peoples
of Europe,
