Socialists Condemn
Slurs Against Ebert

BERLIN, Nov. 19.-"The more
things change, the more they re-
main the same" says an old French
proverb. Before the revolution the
German Socialists ragged against
every prosecution for insult to the
kaiser.
In the little time Ebert has been
President, more prosecutions for in
suits to him have been brought than
were brought in ten years for sim
FLAIR offenses against the kaiser. The
last one. tried last week. was against
a clerk named Schultxe.
Growing angry in a political dis
cussion, he called Ebert q drunkard.
The Judge sentenced him to one
week in jail. but suspended tho SEN
tence for three years.

kleczkowski found himself very
early in an awkward corner as a
result Of this popularity. He and
a friend went to Detroit to give a
lecture and found themselves In
the middle of q Lithuanian festi-
val. They discussed the matter
hurriedly and decided that 1t would
be worth risking their pro.Polish
speeches. They started-and fin
ished-all within a couple Of min
utes. They were howled down and
not too gently handled.
I asked Kleczkowski what he
thought were the prospects for
the Polish cause In the United
States.
II was very surprised" he said.

people are actually Polish sympa-
thizers at heart. / went over with

He went over to Paris with in
structions to pay particular atten-

societies in America. but found him
self up against a difficult PROPOSE

characteristics of these organiza-
lions is that they are perpetually
quarreling among themselves. One

this fact Is always a stumbling
