NOVEL THEORIES OF GOVERNMENT
 WARNED AGAINST
Mighty Ferments at Work GovernmentaIly and So- cially, Says Knox in a
 Fourth of July Speech
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, July 4.-Speaking at Fourth of July celebration in In- dependence hall today, Senator Knox of Pennsylvania warned against the novel theories of government and social and economic life brought ro this country by races from alien soil --"doctrines born of the ills of the lands, from which they came; radical remedies, sometimes self annihilating to those who use them"
 Mighty ferments are at work amongst us governmentally and so- cially," the senator said. Today there are coming to us by the millions peoples from races untraditioned, ana unseasoned in self government, peo- ples unfamiliar with and largely un- appreciative Of its good and un- uttered to tolerate and meet its evils. There are those amongst us who deny the very basis of our social or- der. the very foundation of our whole system.
 Lust as the comingling of mem- bers of different races from differ ent climes with different customs of life. exposes each of the individuals to new and strange bodily ailments and disease so the intimate actions and relations of divers race mem- bers bring novel theories of govern ment and social and economic life. Were their new theories tried, had they been effectively used by any race; had any people or nation risen to wealth, power and happiness un- der them, we might hope that ad- justment thereof to our new environ ments would make them tolerable. But each were not the facts. These strange doctrines come primarily from races unskilled in self govern ment, untaught in the fundamentals of free government, uneducated Tn the basic discord between liberty ana license. Their doctrines are born or the ills of the lands from which they come They are radical remedies, sometimes self annihilating to those usinp them, for ailments unfamiliar to our system of government ana life. Bolshevism may be the heaven of the theorist crushed under the weight of a cruel czarism, but 1t hears no true relation to the incon- seouential defects of free govern ment."
 nhysical foes and subdued thenh Senator Knox continued, so we mus. do battle with foes of the nina anu heart we must combat the diseased mind and conquer"
 But be not, fellow citizens, l be- seech you,' he added, deceived or luIled into the false security which brings destruction"
 The senator in concluding paid tribute Ito those honest men and women who have become part or the nations great citizenry and are doing their part in the great experl- ment of welding together in one great and homo meogenous nation the lovers of human liberal from all lands.
 He voiced the conviction that while being alert to Its insiduous foes the country can ana IS assimilating those who have sought refuge here from the expressions of other lands S'

Stars and Stripes Raised in Berlin First Time Since
 War Declared
By Associated Press

Berlin, July 4.--Amerlcan flags flew over Berlin today for tho first time since the American declaration of war, but the American mission and the German foreign office have not yet been formally notified that Con- gross has concluded peace. The news papers, In the absence of the text of the peace resolution, confine their comment to the hope that there will be speedy resumption of peace time commercial relations"
 German official circles are waiting the text and developments. Mear- while opinion in the German foreign office is unofficially summed up as follows
 An intolerable situation is ended, but we do not know what to expect or what the peace conditions will be whether tho United States will sub- scribe to the Versailles treaty in toto or at all We are waiting to be off cislly appraised of the terms of the compromise resolution and what the next move will be-"
 Some of the newspapers express tho hope that the United States will im- mediately take a hand in having tho penalties lifted and the Upper Silesian question decided. Others view the situation as "a formal state of peace, still without meaning"
 The Stars and Stripes floated from tho American Chamber of Commerce as well as from 8 few private dwell lings.

Principal Task Was the Joint Distribution of Money Sent to Relatives From
 America
By Associated Press

Warsaw, July 1.-The American joint distribution committee whicl has been doing relief work among nearly two years is preparing to greatly reduce it's activities early in July, it was announced in Warsaw. recently. Approximately $25,00O, ,000 has been expended to date.
 One of the principal tasks under taken by the joint distribution com- mittee was the sending of money from individuals in America to poor relatives In Poland. This work has already been discontinued.
 While the welfare work of the joint distribution committee Is to be cut down about one-third.. the care of limited number of orphans :n Poland and Jewish refugees coming from Russia is to be continued. Re- construction work in the war -strick - lages scattered along the eastern bor- ders of Poland already having been benefited by water supply stations.
 An educational campaign, under direction of Dr. Harry Plotz of New York City, designed to teach the benefits of sanitation was inaugural ed this year. In these operations 1t Is planned to reach virtually every Jewish home in the smaller towns throughout Poland which has a Jew ish population of something like 4,0O0, ,000. The total population of the new republic is approximately 30.- 00o.000.
 Doctors to Continue
 Sixteen doctors from America who began their field work last fall are to continue indefinitely, working in the districts where Snere is the most need. Under supervision of the joint committee medical de- partment, 92 hospitals have been es- tablished in various Jewish settle ments. Some 500 public bath houses have also been erected in as many Villages, many of which had never had such an institution until this spring.
 Within the last few months more than 10000 children have been vac cinated against smallpox by the joint distribution committee doctors and their assistants.
 Hereafter. virtually all efforts are to be directed more toward produc- tive work designed to help perma- nently the thousands of war suffer CTS and others who have been aided to get new start in life and who are gradually becoming independent of charity.

Resumption of Free Trade in South Russia Described Graphically by Writer
 for Moscow Paper
By Associated Press

Riga, Latvia, July 4.-The chaotic condition and daily tragedies that followed upon resumption of free trade in south Russia are described graphically by writer for the Mos- COW Isvestia, who has just made trip through the Ukraine.
 The peasants. he says. carrying sacks of grain or other food to the cities, are literally overwhelming railways. He thus describes the ap- pearance of one of the trains coming into Kiev.
 Along the tracks is crawling a huge gray caterpiller-a train cov- cred all over with the gray masses Of food carriers. From beneath these masses neither carsLnor loco motives can be distinguished. The gray mass covers everything, the car roofs, the steps, and even the spaces between the cars. Every available nook is occupied. Everything Is filled up. Only when tbe train be- gins to slow down. nearing Kiev station, it begins to shed it's gray fleece. Little by little, while yet in
 
 begin to uncover.
 Literally Pasted
 At Kiev. all outbound trains are literally pasted all over with people. On the locomotive, cars, firewood truck, water tank and under the cars anywhere that 1t is only possible people fasten themselves to every hook. nail or crevice. Those who have been fortunate enough to get a place on a brake platform are looked upon as favorltes of fortune, who are comfortable for their whole trip.
 The departure of every train is accompanied by lamentations, walls, crying shooting and all kinds of acci- dents. When the train is beginning to get in motion, those who were not able to board 1t and those who have been forcibly removed from it start mad rushes for 1t again. The mlli- tary attachments whose duty 1t is to maintain order during the board ing of trains, run after the trains. pulling down some of the surplus passengers who have managed to fasten on to them, while from others. caps are pulled off and so on.
 'One of the results of this state of affairs is that porters take 50Ooo to 75,o00 of rubles for a guaranteed place on the train.
 Another result is that the Kiev railway shops every month have to make about 300 collins for food car riers who have been run over by the trains"
 M. Dzerzhinsky, head of the Che ka" of committee to combat counter revolution. known as one of the most efficient men in soviet Russia. has been appointed by Lenine as commits sar of railways to regulate this traf- fic of food carriers.
