he is in grave error, forasmuch as Mr..
Lansing hath done nought that should

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS to the best method Of deal
ing with aliens and others charged with
aiming to overthrow the government
by force there is bound to be some
diversity of opinion. All citizens will
agree that repressive legislation by
itself will be of little avail and that
a thorough educational and construct
i've social program must be set in
operation as we'll. The exact form that
the repressive and the educational re-
spectively should take and the relation
they should bear to each other are
matters for careful study and prompt
action The moment is one for sanity
and good judgment, in which abuse and
virulcnt attack by those whose con-
ccption of the wisest course to be pur-
sued differs from current opinion, or
vice versa, should find no place.
The Lao in Question
AS an average American citizen en-
tertaining reverence for national
traditions and for our treasured con-
ception of Justice, | should like to
scrutinize Section of can act to ex-
clude and eXpel from the United States
aliens who are members of the anar-
approved October 16, 1918, and so is
to be classed with war legislation. The
first section provides for the rejection
of undesirable immigrants upon ar
rival, including anarchists, also "aliens
who believe in or advocate the over
throw by force or violence of the gov
ernment of the United States or of all
forms of law; aliens who disbeleve in
or are opposed to all organized govern
mcnt; aliens who advocate or teach
the assassination of public officials; :;
aliens who advocate or teach the un-
lawful destruction OF property aliens
any organization that entertains a be-
lief in, teaches or advocates the over
throw by force or violence of the gov
ernment of the United States or of all
forms of law, or that entertains or
teaches disbelief in or opposition to
all organized government, or that ad-
vocates the duty, necessity or propriety
of the unlawful assaulting or killing
of any officer or officers, either OF
specific individuals or of officers gen
orally, Of the government of the United
States or of any ether organized gov
eminent, because of his or their Off
cial character, or that advocates OF
teaches the unlawful destruction Of
property"
The second section, to which I would
confine my attention, introduces a
principle so foreign to our settled con-
cepticn of justice that it has no paral-
lei excepting in tho wsr measure gov
ernlng interrment Of aliens. The sec
ton reads as follows:

The philosophy of the sport writer,

camp was gone over~with fine-tooth
comb, but nary pig could be found.
After all reports were in, he invited
the officers, the sergeants, and the
old Frenchman to his billet for glass
of rum. He told the Frenchman he
was sorry about the loss of his pigs,
but was sure it must have been some
other outfit who did the job. As it
was after midnight we wished each
other "Merry Christmas" and headed
for the '"old mans" billet Ser

door of his billet. ~just go inside and

about two steps and ,tumbles over
something.
From out of that kitchen came
squeals, grunts, and curses. The
Frenchman shrieks, my pigsl Ny

just stood round and chuckled.
The Frenchman went wild, so did
the "old man." He turned to the Of
ficers and said Gentlemen, you don't
think'-and then the officers burst
into a roar. At last when things had
quoted down and lights were lit, the
"old man" turns to the Frenchman,
and says, "How much do you want

ecution. Holy smoke! but it was
dark. We had sjust one lantern. a
French affair, with a candle in it.
We were following that beacon in sim
gle file, the cart bringing up the rear.
Suddenly the light disappeared. Then
twelve men and six pigs shot out of
sight. The fellows on the cart stop

trench, but the sow kept right on 60

pounds of prospective pork landed on
her own progeny and the gallant

started in to rescue her children. Up
and down the trench she charged
Every time one of those ,littl cusses

lady in dugout, got her tied up. and
started once more for camp. We
hadn't gone more than half mile
when the man we had left back as
rear guard came running up out OF

his way to see the O. c. He's wise
to our game and it's up to US to loose
those pigs, and dA-d quick" How the
deuce were we going to get rid of
seven pigs and get back to our billet
before the "old man" started on in
spection. 1t would never do to be
caught with that bunch of pork in
our possession, for the old man was
totally devoid of honor, and further
more his name was Lavinsky. "Shor-
ty" suggested hiding them in our eel
lar until things blew over. "Fine
DOPE" said Mac, sarcastically, with
the old man a Jew and nose on
him like a pork hound" Finally
we threw out scouts to find an empty
building to hide those pigs in. Scot

peach of place, evidently empty,
and it being dark he had marked it
with a piece of chalk so we could re-
suit after things had quieted down,
and get our Christmas dinner. We
dumped those pigs in the kitchen, hid
the cart and beat it for our billet
We hadn't only fairly settled before
the "old man." the sergeant major,
the Frenchman, and an interpreter
burst in on US. "'Shunl" bawls the
sergeant. We "'Shun'd." Men,"
said the o. c., this Frenchman has
lost seven pigs. Does this squad
know anything about it?" "No, sir"
we answered in unison. The French
man said something to the interpret
er. The interpreter turns to the "old
man." and says, "This Frenchman says
these men have been coming down to
his shack for a week and feeding his
pigs"

"Oh, hell!" said Mac, and wet let it 60

The ending of this story was told
at the belated Christmas dinner by
our platoon sergeant. After the "old

College Goods Are

Place in Affection of Uni

University of Idaho, Dec 20.-In
a group of 20 average" University
of Idaho freshmen girls recently
querried by the department of home
economics for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the proper wardrobe for col
lege girl, it was found that the goods

sweaters and an equally strong disin-
clination to the use of raincoats and
rubbers. Only two girls in every
five owned a pair of the latter. ac-
cording to their answers. but each
said she would buy some Immediately.
The investigation was made to as
certain what in the way of clothes
a college girl should have in order
to be comfortably dressed and able
to take advantage of the social ad-
vantages offered without having a
surplus. No attempt was made to
keep down the amount of clothing
needed.
A two-fold benefit is expected from
the information CLEANED. First, it will
show the coed where she is deficient
in the matter of clothing, and second,
Il will show both the girl and her
parents, is she is spending more than
is necessary for personal adornment.
The average wardrobe was found
to be Exclusive of undergarmenfs)
one suit, one heavy and one light coat
raipcoat, wool sweater. three hats, .
tam, one for school and one for dress;
two wool dresses, one silk and two
wool skirts. one evening dress, one
cotton and two silk afternoon dress
es, two cotton and three silk blouses,
one wool and two cotton middies, one
pair Of cotton and six pairs of silk
stockings. The coed should have five
pairs of shoes. one high pair for dress
and one high pair for school, and one
pair for each of pumps. oxfords and
dancing slippers, and one pair OF rub
bers.
Nearly every girl lacked at least
one of these items and tor me entire
group only the following pieces were
owned by each: High shoes, silk
stockings, silk afternoon dress, eve
ming dress. wool school dress, coat
and suit.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
"a Story of the Somme.)

lou KNOW tnat Oiu nursery rhyme,
This little pig went to market, this
little pig stayed at home" don't
believe I'll ever forget it. 1t was
like this: Around the Christmas holi-
days in 1916 we were feeding the
cooties back of the lines, on the
Somme front Absolutely nothing
was stirring except the undershirt
some soldier had removed for search
ing reasons. Christmas was only a
few days off, and we knew that any
boxes sent US with goodies" in, would
reach US sometimes during the spring
drive. We were a pretty blue. outfit.
To add to our misery the major that
morning told us that Christmas din
ner would be out of the question. as
transportation was congested. and
only necessary things were being
moved up the lines. My platoon was
billeted in an old French farm house.
The front of it and part of the roof
had been shot away during some pre-
vious engagements. A bunch of US
were sitting around the old fashioned
fire plac Elm the kitchen that night,
swapping stories of home and for
mer holiday seasons. At last COM
plete silence reigned. Each man sat
there silently. putting on his flag"
or pipe, and looking into the fire saw
amidst the sparks as they rushed up
the chimneyh visions of Christmas
day in Gods country" he had known
in the long ago. Suddenly the door
flew open, and in burst "Scotty."
~Fellers, I've got our Christmas din
ner," he yelled. Mac grabbed hunk
of punk" shied it at Scotty, and
said, "Aw, cut it out old timer, this
is no time for comedy"
Honest ter God, fellers, 1 amt jok-
ing" said Scotty; Il know where
there's a madam pig and six petite
pigs. Do we eat bully or pork for
Christmas" "Porkr we all yelled
and did an Indian war dance round
that old kitchen. Then we sat down
around the fire and went into execu-
tive session. 1t seems those heaven
sent swine were owned by an old
Friedman who lived in shack about
. mile from our camp. Scotty said
they were watched by day and taken
into the shack at night. Next day we
sent two French Canadians to get the
lay of the land. They reported the
pigs were all right, but were pretty
poor for lack of feed, and that we'd
have to chloroform the old man to
get the pigs. Did that discourage us7
Not a bit. We bummed all the swill
we could from the cook, begged and
stole bran and meal from the mule
transport to feed these pigs. Then
we'd take turns in Juggling that stuff
in empty petrol tins mile, dump it
in the pen, watch that bunch of pork
take on weight and fall into each 9TH
er's arms and yell, "Oh, boyl" Some
Christmas, some Christmas dinner,
what!" The old Frenchman would
crack = smile, try to kiss US on both
cheeks, and croak, "Tu bow, Cana

The night before Christmas the
eighth platoon sneaked silently out of
camp to salvage" those pigs The
French Canadians had taken the Old
man to the Catholic services in the
st lines, leaving us free to land the
bacon" Everything went as per
schedule. We had some trouble get
