In 1919 her emigration reached
only 5S,Sss, but in 1920 1t attained a

TO DEPORT FOUR TO RUSSIA
Prisoners for Violating War Laws
Is Under Consideration.

Washington, Sept. 14.-CommNta-
ton of the sentences of four federal
prisoners convicted of offenses against
the war laws, conditional upon their
deportation to soviet Russia, is un-
derStOod to be under consideration by
government officials The prisoners
were said to be Jacob Abrams, Sam
uel Lipman, Hyman Lackowsky and
Mollie STEINER. They were convicted,
it was said, for activities against the
draft act during the war. The three
men are imprisoned at Atlanta and
the woman at Jefferson City, Mo.
Should such action be decided upon,
it was explained, the prisoners would
not be pardoned, but their sentences
would merely expire upon condition
of their going to Russia and not re-
turning to this country. Should they
return, it was asserted, they would rem
der themselves liable to Imprisonment
again.

SOME FEAR TREATY MAY
HURT u. S. AT FARLEY
Several Senators Believe Separate
Pact With Germany Will Prove
Tripping Block.

Washington, Sept. 10. - Senator'S
fear the separate treaty with Ger
many may prove stumbling block at
the coming disarmament congress.
Their apprehension arises over in
corporation of sections of the treaty
OF Versailles referring to American
rights in the document. They fear
this will lead to complications when
the settlement of the Pacific and Far
East problems is approached.
Members Of the so-called irreconcil-
able group. responsible for the de-
feat of the Versailles treaty and the
League Of Nations covenant, are par
ticularly of this frame of mind. How
ever welcome the separate treaty has
been to them, they would have pre-
ferred to have seen it drafted with
out reference to the Paris pact and
they do not conceal this fact.
AS the irreconciliables, represented
by Senators Johnson and Borah, look
at it, the incorporation Of the sec
lions of the Versailles treaty virtually
makes this country party to the
document. While they realize Ameri-
can rights in the Paris treaty must be
protected, they believe that it could
have been accomplished more effec-
lively had the sections dealing with
them been lifted bodily from it and
written into the German treaty as
separate provisions without mention
ing the Versailles treaty.
