 Last nights roundup was the ;.'s $; and most successful ever staged in this city. Chief Flynn said. I; was executed without a hitch and operatives taking part in the raid were given specific instructions to ;,vod 'erands;and stuff but to go about their work in a quiet and bus mess like manner.

Each person taken into custody N;3 asked whether he was q citizen or had applied for his first papers; the date of his arrival in this country and the name of the steamer: if he was a member or an officer of the communist or commun- ist labor parties and what procedure vas necessary for him to join those orSa nizationc; if he believed in the revolution, the overthrow of govern ment by force and the killing of pub lie officials and if he was an anarchist.
 After the examination those to be held were segregated and their pedi- grces taken. Tine agent who examined them then signed a sworn affidavit to tho effect that he believed the person CSttInl1Gd De tJ IlSIlDSI Ol lIlC COlII- 1nunist party and an anarchist and to hold revolutionary beliefs.
 Sailors As Messengers.
 Tn addition to examining the per- sons arrested, the agents glanced over tons of literature, records and photo graphs seized in the raids. It would appear from some of the evidence seized at the office of the Novy Mir they said that sailors plying between this country and Europe had been en- gagged as secret messengers to convey cores pondencc between the Reds in America and their brethren in Soviet Russia. At the headquarters of the Communist World in 18th street, agents declared they found the latest "red' posters imported from Europe appealing for the lifting of the Rus sian blockade and recognition Of the Soviet government. Wireless reports of conditions in Soviet Russia also were found among the patches of ma ter;al caizcd.
 Two ot the persons arrested will be turned over to the district attorney to be dealt with for alleged violation of the states criminal anarchy statute, it was said. They are Julius Godllin, a tax collector, and Harry WinitzSy, ;t lawyer. Both claim American cit i2enship.

course. he takes a crack at congress and at his pre-
decessors in office. For instance. his press agent says;
The department of agriculture has gone in for
two types of secretary. The type which has predomin-
ated through most Of its existence has grown copious
crops Ct whiskers, has harked back to the good old
days of whiting sticks at the corner grocery. has har-
bored a pair OF brogans in its closet. reminiscent Of
earlier times. . = : The second type has been from
the college classrooms . But here comes a new
type. Secretary Meredith has none Of the earmarks of
the farmer"
The first secretary OF agriculture was Jerry Rusk,
enc of the sturdy pioneers OF the northwest. a real
farmer. but a man of affairs as well, who had been
chosen governor of his state by the people, instead OF
being defeated for office as was Mr.. Meredith. The sec
ond was J. Sterling Morton, a former governor of Iowa.
and originator of Arbor Day, a genuine farmer and also
l man of successful business experience. The third was
another former governor and congressman from Iowa.
"Tama jim" Watson. He was probably the most prac-
teal and useful incumbent the Office ever had, and I'M
der his administration the department CT agriculture
assumed It's present large place in the national economy.
1t remained for President Wilson to choose two non
farmers for secretary of agriculture. just as he has
chosen a non-business man for secretary OF commerce
This story put cut in Mr.. Meredith's behalf about his
predecessors being smelly persons from the cross roads
dry goods boxes makes a very good newspaper story. but
it is sadly lacking in the essential element Of truth.
However, the statement with which this piece of
propaganda concludes will remain undisputed. The press
agent says. Secretary Meredith is a trained advertis-
ing man. He can do his own Greeting"

GERMAN MENACE REVIVED.

The sight of the democratic peoples outside the Ger
man borders. But the spirit of the Germans not nav
ing been changed, alteration of the form of government
was Of minor significance. fractional contests for dom
nance would be between frank monarchists and nom
inal democrats. with the chances for success favoring
The former. for a time at least, since with them were
enrolled the forceful elements who could not unreason-
ablv claim to be the best qualified by experience to
rule. The country being united in purpose to regain
the pre-war German prestige, the presence of the
strongest possible government at Berlin appeared de-
sirable.
The Pan-Germanists, Fatherland party and COM
mon run OF militarists were not all that were out Of
patience with the Ebert government. Opportunity pre-
centing. a bloodless revolution was accomplished. APP
parently circumstances favor the new regimes retain
ing power fer some time to come. That it will lead to
a restoration of the Hohenzollern monarchy is not
likely. But that it will unsettle the work of European
reconstruction is not to be doubted. This coup d'etat
will prove disquieting throughout the world
1t is ordinarily no rightful concern Of any other
country what kind Of government rules In Germany.
This is not an ordinary time, however. The German
people, through their qualified representatives, have
entered into certain solemn contracts with the states
that vanquished the German Empire. The faithful
discharge OF the obligations assumed is essential to
the pacidcation OF Europe and the world. The Ebert
government was FESTIVE of just demands made upon it.

But In the sight Of certain German elements it was
weak in its dealings with the entente. The chief OBJ.
tect OF the reactionaries who have gained power in the
WilheImstraSse is to put up sitter resistance to the
conquerors- In substance. they propose to test the de-
gree of the victory which was secured in the field and
nominally confirmed by Gernany's acceptance of the
terms of the treaty Of Paris. They mean TO make
trouble for the entente and if possible to force Ger
many back into its old position of power among the
nations.
So the revolution is OF very great concern to the
victorious nations. They must stand by their guns and
prevent the realization OF the hopes of cid German auto
cracy that are frightened by it's return to the houses
OF government. Complete success Of the junker-mili-
tarists would revive all the menaces OF the past.

Of the average American that Woodrow Wilson is an
internationalist, but after all isn't the real title which
should be bestowed upon him, that OF egoist? Can any
one name a time during his entire administration when
his thought has been other than for his personal am
billions Has not every move been followed by the cry
Of self. self. self? His ambition for domination has been
much similar to that OF the ex-kaiser in that it has
been an ambition for world dominance. He went TO
Paris with an idea which he hoped would make him
president of the world. The kaiser went TO war with
the ambition to be kaiser of the world. The kaiser did
not get to Paris, thanks to the d%oughboys and Woodrow
Wilson got there, but failed TO attain the ambition

1t is a crying shame that the busy cities OF the
Calumet region should not have an inter-city mail
service. When it takes two or three days to send a let
ter from East Chicago to Hammond, a distance of two
or three Smiles or from Hammond to Gary, eleven miles.
there is something radically wrong with the much
bruited Burlesonized efficiency in departmental affairs.
We do not know what the districts representatives
in congress, Senator'S New and Watson and Representa-
tive Wood are doing in regard to the matter. Perhaps
they ar not doing anything regarding our inter-city
mail delivery. If they have locked into the matter they
may have given up all hope as Republicans in interest
