DEPORTED RADICALS
TRYING TO GET BACK
Little Groups Trickling Across
L1tuian Border.

RIGA. Latvia, July 31.-Little groups
OF Russian Americans. who were de-
ported or volunteered to go from Amer
lea to Soviet Russia. are trickling back
across the Latvian frontier from the
land OF the Bolshevili very frequently
these days. all with the hope OF getting
back to the United States.
These enligrants, according to Ameri-
can consular officials. who hear their
stories and have to tell them there is
not much chance for them to get back.
are greatly disappointed with what they
found in the Promised Land"
They tell of starvation and long rides
In trains so packed with people that
there is scarcely room to breathe.
Besides those who have succeeded in
getting to Latvia there are many others
who have written friends in Riga asking
for money from America.
The Moscow correspondent OF the
Riga Ruftdschuu writes as follows about
the Observation-Disclosures inside the coun-
try:
The numbers OF Russian Communists
expelled from America who with wry
faces are selling their last goods and
chattcls on the Moscow market place are
increasing every day
The Soviet Government is doing its
utmost to keep these people above water
by giving them even whole factories to
run and to manage But as these fac
tories are very much run down even
American spirit and energy are not suf-
hciently strong to set them in operation.
"A little better Off are those of the
immigrants who have managed to take
with them from America their tools or
goods produced by their trade. Such
people are doing big business and can
afford TO live well. Thus, one party
OF Immigrants has succeeded in INSTALL
ing small sewing factory containing
about 400 sewing machines.
Formerly the Soviet Government
would have simply conhscated this lu-
crative enterprise. but at present the
Government Is little wary, the more
so as in this case they have to do with
immigrants whom they make point Of
treating with the greatest possible cour-
tCsy and consideration.
Quite recently there arrived party
Of Americans whose speciality is the con-
struction of small dwelling houses. They
are welcomed and aided by the Soviet
Government"

RHINELAND SHELVES
IDEA OF SEPARATION
Prefers to Stay in German
Empire, at Least During 0c-
cupation by the Allies.
HELGOLAND WOULD QUIT
Two Years Time Limit on Pro-

Berlin, July 81.
In August will expire the two yeai
period provided by the German Constitu
ton in which the provinces may decide
whether they prefer remaining with the
German Empire or shall withdraw
from It,
During the last twelve months the
separatist propaganda in the Rhineland
which. 1t has been charged, was stimu-
lated through French promises In con-
nection with a Rhineland republic, has
received a check, and most of the Ger
man political parties in the Rhineland
have now announced their determination
not to raise the question OF separation
from Germany as long as the allied
occupation continues.
Support of the separatist movement Is
now without real significance How
ever, in Hanover the movement has been
welcomed by the Guelen party. which
has always been opposed traditonally
to Prussian ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Demon
strations against Prussia already have
occurred there. and others undoubtedly
will follow. IN Hanover. on the other
hand. the movement Is without real
foundation.
This is not true of the situation In
Helgoland, which England ceded to
Germany in 1890. Indeed. Helgoland
Is now endeavoring to break away from
bankrupt and tax ridden Germany.
Responsible officials have sent letter
to the British seeking protection in this
connection and are waiting reply be-
fore the Government appeals to the
League of Nations. Meanwhile the
Government Is indignant over the situa-
ton and threatens to prosecute the
Helgoland separatists and to charge
their leader with treason.
The German Cabinet proposes putting
the finishing touches on the new tax
bill within the next few days. The
proposed measure will then go before
the committees of the Senate and the
Reichstag. which will consider 1t while
parliament In is recess.
A Government official told THE New
York HERALD correspondent here to-
day that passage Of the measure prob
ably will be delayed for some time. as
the opposition to 1t in the Reichstag
promises to be serious enough to make
taxation the principal subject of dis
cussion there for several months.
