Few things lately have given the
American people more satisfaction
than the sentencing Of Mrs Emma
Bergdoll of Philadelphia and of her
son Charles F. Braun and several 9TH
ers for the part they took in the es-
cape from the draft of her two sons,
Grover and Erwin. Mrs Bergdoll
must pay fine of $1,000 or go to the
federal penitentiary for a year and a
day. Braun and ]. E. Romig received
the same sentence. Others are to pay
smaller fines or serve lesser terms In
prison.

He had been in the Lir more than eighteen hours
 We took up only 56O gallons of gasoline, sufficient for a record break ing flight. we hoped, but we realized when we discovered the leak in the gas line that We would not be able to accomplish our purpose :he Lieu tenant said. We tried to stem the leak but could not. We stayed up until the gas tanks were pr.cc.icalIu empty"
 He showed no signs of fatigue and refused to accept a ride in the am- bulance which had been kept waiting at the field.

Laws passed to exclude from the United States, aliens who are members of anarchistic and simil.r classes
 '14aws passed to dcport certain un- desil4,bies and to deny rc;Idmission 70 those convicted of conspiracy and 1i ready deported."
 Such work as this speaks for itself It shows that we are striving toward the one great ideal; the ultimate goal ot making America q fit place for Americans to live, and q mighty un- comfortable spot for anyone who is not an American.
 It is noteworthy fact thu. most of our foreign agitltors come from countries whose national credit is not worth a sack of American beans. They claim to wield grea. power in their home land and offer to give us poor. ignorant Americans the benefit of their deep and profound meditations. They listen good. some of these fel- LOWS, you cslil IleIhr lite1ti oCiSiiiA5 tOii city blocks, and they are as profiigate with printers ink as they are saving of soap and water. They exhort and beseech us to do as they say. and they hold forth on the rosy. alluring pros- poets just around .he corner.
 Somehow or other we skeptical Americans persist in locating the home country o( these promising fellows and checking up thedr activities there. We md their native countrymen at each others throats: their women working as beasts of burden in the field. and their children dying of starvation. They beg the World for something to eat. and strangely enough. they beg loudest insAmerica. where their rep resentatives arc seeking to convert us to their own ideals. Never can it be said of America that she is tingy. We give them money and food and if they say. Thank You. we do not hear them.
 We. of the Legion, after due consid- eration have come to the conclusion that money and food Is not all these
