WOUNDED GIVE PERSHING
ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME
General Urges Veterans to Aid in
Stamping Out I1literacy
in Localities.

Wounded veterans at Walter Reed
Hospital gave Gen. John J. Pershing
an enthusiastic reception yesterday
evening. when he spoke to them un-
der the auspices of the American Red
Cross, and asked them to help correct
the condition Of illiteracy that now
exists in SO many American communi-
ties.
THE number of illiterates revealed
by the draft boards is astonishing,
and 1t is shameful to permit such
condition to continue" said the gen.
eral. TO me the thought is shocking
that there should be in certain locali-
ties such neglect that one third Of our
young men cannot read and write.
I'VE must do something immediately
to correct this, and who is better fitted
to take the lead in the matter than
the men who served their country so
gallantly during the late war"
The general said it was gratifying
to know that at last the government
was taking definite steps to care for
and train the wars disa'c,ed.
The speaker was intro,Iced by DR..
Livingston Fasrand, chairman Of the
central committee Of the Red Cross.
and other officials of that organiza-
tion present included Col. H. r. Fard-
well. director general of the depart
ment of military relief; Austin S.
lmrie, director Of the Potomac divi-
sion of military relief, and Thomas
Dec. Ruth, manager of the Potomac
division. Under the leadership of
Walter F. Smith. the Marine Band
gave a musical program.

A. F. OF l. CHARACTERIZES
SOVIETISTS AS SAVAGES
Statement Appeals to Organized
Labor to Respond to Campaign
to Fight System.

I. Characterizing sovietists as "sav-
ages" their system as "bestiar. and
their industrial policy as ruthless
persecution and slaughter Of labor
unionists," the American Federation
of Labor issued a statement last
night appealing to organized labor
to respond to a campaign against the
system.
The statement charges that labor
was "tricked" into supporting the
soviet rule, and that after Lenin and
Trotsky had succeeded in obtaining
the support. they sarted to carry
out threats of determination of the
leaders of labor, and peasant parties
EVERY month for some time" the
statement declared, "the bolshevists
have been. acknowledging 1000 or
more executions-often in large
batches-and' there can be no doubt
that they are carrying out their
threats Of determination of the lead
ers of the labor and peasant parties"
The offense of the labor unionists
was very clear" said the statement.
They are fundamentally opposed to
Lenin and his handful Of associate
dictators. AS far as is possible under
that ruthless tyranny organized Ia
Dor Of Russia Vis everywhere in
state OF full revolt. The organized
workers are doing what they can to
reach the hearts and minds of the
laboring humanity in all countries.
but they are working against over
whelming obstacles--refusal of the
bread card, which means immediate
starvation for their families, the
firing squad or death by torture in
prisons. It is difficult for tkenf even
to speak, and a decree especially for
bidding speeches at labor union meet
ings has been issued"

DIFFICULT IN RUSSIA
TO GET FOOD AND FUEL
Alexander Berkman, Deported An
archist, Writes Nations Best
Workers Are Kept in Army.

NEW YORK, February 2s.-Letters
from Alexander Berkman, deported
anarchist leader. to his friends in
New York, published in a local Ger
man language newspaper, tell of the
difficulty the Russian people are ex-
periencing in obtaining sufficient
food and fuel. One letter, dated No
vember 3. 1920, said that Russia.
Notwithstanding it's being the rich
est country in the world in natural
resources. is not in the position to
nourish its own population and to
keep its people warm during these
bad winter days"
Russia is compelled" Berkman
wrote. through the continued de-
mands for armed defense against the
allies, to send it's best workers to the
front, the consequence being the de-
pletion of the industrial and tech
nical forces. Transportation suffers
the most, accompanied by the re-
striction or the complete stoppage Of
the sending of manufactured articles
to the country population and the
sending out of provisions and fuel to
the cities"
BERGMAN said the hardest toll is
done by women, especially in the in
terror and the Ukraine, where wood
chopping. railroad and factory work
fall principally on girls.

AMERICAN SEAMAN SAID
TO BE FUGITIVE FROM U. S.
William Say1es, Held in London,
Reported to Have Made Volun-
tary Admission.

LONDON, February %. William
Sayles, an American seaman. who was
being investigated for alleged regis
tration under a false name in con-
travention of the alien act, is de-
clared to have voluntarily told the
police that he Is fugitive from jus
tice in the United States.
According to the police Sayles said
that in October, 1914. he was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa, for the murder Of
John Runyon. His sentence. he de-
clared. was reduced to ten years, and
on July %. 1918, he escaped from the
prison at Knoxville, and worked his
passage to England.

Theories Regarding Selection.
Two theories are prevalent as to
the manner in which the present date
was selected. One is that the rev.
olutionary fathers. after an exhaus-
tive computation. became convinced
that March 4 would not fall on Sum-
day in any leap year. Somebody evil
IDENTIFY enormously evaluated their
'x' quantity in that case. for March
has come on Sunday three times
since Washington's inaugural in New
York.
The second theory is based on the
minutes Of the first constitutional
convention. where the delegates Gun
der date of September 13, 17SS) did
resolve unanimously . that the
first Wednesday in January be the
day for appointing electors in the
several states; that the first Wednes-
day in February be the day for the
electors to assemble in their re-
spective states and vote for Presi-
dent, and that the first Wednesday
in March next be the time and the
present seat of Congress the place
for commencing proceedings under
said Constitution"
The first Wednesday in March,
next" happened to be the 4th, ac-
cording to those holding with the
second idea, and March 4 thence
forth, weather notwithstanding, has
been the day for Commencing pro-
ceedings."

VETERANS IN UPR0AR.
Disabled Soldiers Organize Post in
Stormy Meeting.

Organization Of local post Of the
National Disabled Soldiers League
was the outgrowth of a stormy meet
ing Of wounded veterans at Polls
Theater yesterday. John T. Nolan b.
ing elected commander.
The uproar at the meeting cam.
after George H. Gillen. national COM
nander Of the league, had made a
talk in which he severely criticised
Ralph z. Fisher. assistant. director Of
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education, and B. r. Stewart, a
wounded man. had taken the floor in
Mr.. Fishers defense.
Stewart said he had received a
square deal" from the vocational
board and demanded that Gillin apollo
gize for his statements unless he could
substantiate them. This stirred the ire
of the other men present, and there
was confusion until Stewart had left
the theater, threats having been made
to throw him out" unless he went
voluntarily.
The meeting was attended by about
$50 veterans, and Mr.. Nolan presided.
The new post is to be called "The
Greater Commonwealth Post" and has
an initial membership Of 1852.

COIN SEEN COSTLY
TO TRACTION LINES
Proposed Roosevelt Issue
May Scrap $50, 900 Invest
ed in Fare Boxes.

Fifty thousand dollars worth OF
fare boxes on Washington street cars
will have to be scrapped or rebuilt
at considerable expense, 1t was dis
closed last night, if Congress au-
thorizes the issuance of the Roose-
welt 2-cent coin. which is provided in
a bill that has passed the Senate ana
is now on the House calendar, hav-
ing been approved by the House
committee on coinage, weights and
measures.
Invest $4,000 Each.
The Capital Traction and Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
panies have an investment of about
$25, 600 each in the fare boxes. which
are constructed to separate only
three coins-the penny, nickel and
dime-in addition to the car check
cost in the neighborhood of 500
each.
According to information given the
House committee at the time the
bill was under consideration, the pro-
posed, Roosevelt coin. which would
be different in size from any other
coin, would necessitate the rebuild
ing of about $4,000 fare boxes used
by street car systems throughout the
country These devices represent a
total investment of nearly three mil
lion dollars.
Not Expected This Session.
1t is believed there is little prob
ability of the bill being reached on
the House calendar before the pres
ent session of Congress ends. Rep
resentative Vestal of Indiana, chair
man OF the committee, stated yester-
day the bill would be reintroduced in
April, if no action is had at this ses-
sion. The committee has been in
formed by the Secretary of the Treas
ury that the issue Of a 2-cent piece
would satisfy no popular demand at
this time, but that he would not on
pose the proposed legislation, on ac-
count of it's memorial Significance.

PULPWO0D CONSUMPTION
EXCEEDS ITS PRODUCTION
Figures for 1920 Show Close Race
in Increase Over Re-
turns for 1918.

Consumption of pulpwood by mills
in New York, New England and the
lake states was 17.7 per cent greater
in 1920, than in 1918, and production
during the same period increased 17.5
per cent, according to estimates made
public today by the forest service
based on figures from 11s mills, repre-
senting II per cent of the total con-
sumption Of these states.
The estimates were contained in the
first preliminary statement by the
forest service in connection with the
study of pulpwood consumption, be-
ing conducted in cooperation with
the American Paper and Pulp Asso-
citation and the census bureau.
Should the percentage hold true for
the remaining mills the 1920 consump-
tion would equal 6.1s0,00o cords, or
nearly 13 per cent more than the
record made in 1917, and the produc-
tion would be approximately 3,8S4,06o
tons, or 1913 per cent more than in
1917.
