Extraordinary Commission" in Com
munist Paradise Urged for
America Deals Harshly
With Goldman and
Berkman.

Washington, Sept. Io-All Utopian
dreams entertained by the com
munist" group headed by Emma
Goldman and Alexander Berkman,
who were deported to Russia after
attempting to stir up strife in the
United States on the ground that It
is the land of tyranny" have been
shattered by he Russian soviet au-
thorities.
An official cable message to the
state department, received from Bal
tic sources, states that under orders
from Russian officials most of the de-
portees are now employed at the
hardest manual labor, constructing
rights of way for the railroads.
The Russian-American commuu-
lists, it is stated, have been divided in
tc only three classes, those at work.
those who escaped and those who are
under arrest. Although specific state
ment is not made, the inference is
left in the dispatch that Goldman and
Berkman are in one of these three
classes.
When first notified that they would
be obliged to comply with the COM
pulsory labor law enacted by the
soviet regime, the deportees, It was
stated, made great objections. Such
protests continued until they were
reminded that an Extraordinary
commission" is in existence and is
clothed with authority to enforce
soviet DEGREES in a most unpleasant
and exemplary manner" Most of the
extreme measures charged against
the soviets were, it is stated, execu.-
ed by this commission, which would
quickly put the deportees in a prop
Ter frame of mind"
Most of the communists yielded
and went. to work. A few escaped,

ers now under arrest will be dealt.

ing upon the report Secretary Colby
said It was partisglaElyi amusing in,p
view of the teachings, Of Goldman AMI
others that communist" Russia
would be . haven of rest for those
who had found the United States and
its forms of government "tyrannical."
1T must have shocked them to
learn that they would have to 60. to
work, said the secretary.

NO CHINESE ON
 SHANGHAI BOARD

Shanghai, April 27.-Seven British citizens, one Japanese and one Ameri- can comprise the municipal council of the International Settlement of Shanghai as a result of the recent election -Hby the taxpayers here. Sterling Fessenden of a local law firm is the American member, Dr. S. A. Ransom, the one other nominee, having been defeated. A total of SS3 votes were cast, the smallest number since 1913.
 Under a body composed of 16 for eign consuls the municipal council of Shanghai governs a community of about three-quarters or a million peo- pie of whom about 25,000 are for eigners. Vigorous efforts of Chinese residents within the settlement 'boun- diaries, who pay roughly S5 per cent of the revenues, to obtain representa- ton on, the municipal council have thus far failed, though this question again is to come up for decision ir the course of the year. The right o1 foreign residents of the settlement tc vote in municipal election is deter mined by the payment of taxes or property.

D'ANNUNzIO GETS MUCH ATTENTION

Fiuune, April 27.---'-This is the most interesting court in Europe said one of DeAnnunzio's secretaries, at the luncheon rendered the poet on St. GaIbriers Day, when the 'Eiberator'' of F'iune acted his part with cour- tiers, soldiers and kings guards and the populace acted theirs.
 Flanfares of trumpets the rush to arms of the kings guard'' announced his every entrance and exit. He is always accompanied by a long line of aides and fn1nctio naTies and wears a happy countenance himself. At meals all the courtiers center their atten- ton upon him and listen to the sto- ries he tells, laughing sometimes and crying at others
 DrAnnunzio's wishes in food are al
 ways compiled with and religious zeal | marks the efforts of the encourage to please him. His uniform is always ] spic-and-Span. There is not @ bleGn- l ish on his clothing from heel to crown. His long Italian cape some
 times calls to mind the familiar garb of the fallen William IT. in his Ger
 man military cape.
 l On public occasions in theatres, his
 place is reserved with much attention and when he enters cheers are given I by the men and women who follow
 him. When he gives a concert in the
 palace, his place in the front row is
 respected with the reverence due to a
 religious chief. His apartments are
 bedecked with all sorts of presents 1 from the townspeople. Italian and
 Dalmatian flags make up the color scheme. On his name day, he was the recipient of bowers of flowers
 from admirers in the city. The royal
 march greets him when he makes his
 appearance on the balcony of the pal

MUCH CHANCE IN
 MAY DAY FETES

The first day of May has had va ried suggestions. Years ago May Day was a picturesque rural festival, when children sought flowers. and pretty girls dressed up as Queen of the May.
 Then it became Moving Day in cities, when the renter packed his pots and pans on the moving van, seeking better quarters, and usually jumped from frying pan into the fire
 As the world has moved on and modern economic life taken on more
 intense and passionate forms, May Day has become a day for industrial and SociaIistic demonstrations, par ticu1arly in Europe.
 This country has a free and demo- cratic life, and opportunity for op- pressed elements to make their power felt through lawful channels Hence May Day demonstrations have not been serious. Still in present disturbed conditions, there will be attempts to use the occasion to pro- mote revolutionary sentiment. The National Security League has asked patriotic people to observe May 1 this year as American Day. Parades are to be held as demonstrations o1 loyal spirit.
 The word American conveys a thrill and sense of achievement and hope
 It stands for humanitarian progress for the open door of opportunity for all, for justice and the square deal Ii believes that American principles will
 solve the difficulties of the times, and right human wrongs, through lawful and constitutional methods. It de sires to rebuke all those whose i'm
 patience and visionary theories would plunge the country into anarchy, and overthrow the projections which law and order alone can throw about the weak and defenceless.
