Espionage Oyerdone

t4NSNN IL S4iAAA
Does it not look as if this business
Of federal raids on places where groups
OF foreign-born residents assemble for
social intercourse, or for some other
purpose which they have a perfect
right to pursue, is being carried to
extreme? One such raid was made
Saturday night upon a hall In this
city.
AS described, a small army of about
100 agents of the Department Of Jus
tice swooped down upon a little party
engaged in the sinister, not to say
reasonable, pursuit of the dance.
The festival was broken up, the cele-
brants were lined up for scrutiny,
and twelve men and a woman were
placed under arrest and dragged off
to department headquarters.
What happened to them? Why, they
were set FREQ because those who had
arrested them or caused their arrest
had nothing upon which to detain
them. 1t is said that the raiders
expected to capture a large number
of sedittous persons identified with
the Red movement and bent upon
handing this country over to the Boil
sheviks. But they went to the wrong
place to find them.
We arc engaged just now In a move
ment for the Americanization of the
dwellers among us who have como
from other lands. But can we ex-
pect that these people will become
assimilated when such examples of
ruthless use of official power are pre-
scented to them? And could any form
Of propaganda against the processes
of the United States Government be
worse than these very acts of law
lessness perpetrated in Its name? Is
this education In that self-respecting
self-defending individualism that Is
the basis of A~mericanism? Is 1t a
good example of what we would ex-
pect of these people II the circum-
stances were reversed?

THE NAVY

Secretary Daniels IL fully justified in
his demand for the biggest navy II
the senate Is not going to ratify the
peace treaty with the covenant of the
League of Nations. He is justified in
insisting that the navy should be
larger than would have been neces-
sary had the treaty been ratified at
once so that the League of Nations
could have begun TO function without
delay.
The primary object of the League
of Nations is to reduce the han
of war. AS the covenant was orig
tnally drawn 1t no doubt would have
come pretty near accomplishing this
had it been put Into force at once. To
change it in accordance with the So
called Lodge reservations Is to take
from it much of its force. 1t then
becomes little more than h old in
ternational court of arbitration that
was established at The Hague. which
failed so utterly in its purpose.
OF course. tho present treaty has
some advantages over The Hague tri-
bunal, but unless the Lodge reser-
walton on Article X Is modified there
will be good reason for taking every
precaution against being caught UNI
prepared should another world crisis
develop, as 1t surely will.
Even at best there has been so much
delay in putting the league into force
that complications have arisen and
have grown to such proportions that
1t will be difficult to s~traighten them
out without leaving the seed for flu
ture strife. Until we are sure of the
working Of the league at this late
date, therefore, we rnust AXE every
care to safeguard our Interests.
The ratification Of the treaty with
the Lodge reservations will mean that
much of the confidence that other
nations had In the league will be gone
There will be no power to uphold the
decisions of the league and h out

case. the United States Il be pre-
4 pared for any eventuality, although Il
would be we'll to give the league as

Wasting Time.
(HudSon DtSpatch.)

Answering the telephone is a time
hat has grown to be a
very important part Of the days
work for every business man. 1t is
a necessary part of a days work,
too, but there are people who add an
unnecessary waste of time to this
part of the days routine.
These are men who give their pri-
vate switchboard girls a list OF calls
to make and then when the calls are
got, keep the party at the other end
of the telephone waiting for a few
minutes.
Sometimes these delays cannot be
avoided. but there are other times
when they can be and, every bust
ness man should show the utmost of
consideration for the party he Is
calling.

Ledger recently there appeared an ar
ticle headed "Beautify City Hall Court
yard" May a constant reader of your
paper put in a plea for fountain or
fountains?
It is a sad thing to think of city
the size of Philadelphia, situated as it
is between two large rivers, being with
out fountains. The only one the writer
can think of at present which children
can enjoy and small animals and birds
drink from is in Rittenhouse Square.
Once upon time there was foun'
tain society in Philadelphia and people
left money-to it to keep their memorial
fountains in order. The said society
may have died n natural death, as seems
probable, as the memorial fountains are
all going to decay, such as that beauti-
full one at Spring Garden and Twelfth
streets, which has been closed for sew =
eral years. William Penn intended our
city to be at least a little attractive, so
why not begin by relieving the ugliness
of the City Hall plaza by beautiful
fountain, which shall run winter and
summer. A PHILADELPHIAN.
