 Warned Against Light Breaking A warning against the breakage of the electric bulbs in East Berlin's street lighting system has been is sued by Paul Selgrist, tax collector for the East Berlin fire district, speaking in behalf of the officers of said district. Mir. Seigrist, at the last meeting of the East Berlin Com munity club, frankly told the mem bers that if any more instances of , broken lights are reported and the wrong doers are caught, an example will be made of them.
 It is said that several members of the districts younger element take great delight in throwing stones at the bulbs or in using the lamps for target practice with air guns. Most of these cases have been reported l in the center of the town and great 1 inconvience has been oCcasionCd on ! dark nights when several of these 1 lights failed to function at time. This 1 practice also calls for considerable expense on the part of the district, i a needless expense which the officers are determined to do away with by punishing the misCrcants. A sharp watch will be kept and it will go i hard with anyone found damaging 1 the lights or committing other nui- sance of like description.
 Stolen Car is Found Word was received last night by , Constable Frank Brown that a small coupe belonging to Mrs. Doro- thy Bancroft of Berlin, which was roDortcd ctolcu in HartforJ Ia St week, has been found abandoned by i tho police in that city.

Harrington Burned in Effgy By Miners

Irregularities of the last election. Ac-
ton will be taken on this at another
meeting to be called within two
weeks.
One miner pointed out the fact that
the bureaucracy are opposed to any
relief to the miners because they in
tend emptying the treasury before
they are kicked out, so therefore, it
would not be well to call convention
to have the money used for relief of
the starving miners who put the
money in the treasury.

Later in the evening, Harrington and
Fishwick were burned in efigy amidst

LONDON, April 2S.-- In a session
marked with cheering and jeering.
Winston Churchill, chancellor OF the
exchequer, indicated in the house Of
commons today that the government
would return to, the gold standard,
and, further that the Bank Of Eng
land would be permitted to export
gold bullion.
The occasion Of the chancellor's
declaration was his address to COM
mons on the subject Of the budget. 1t
was believed by some members that
be was delaying important phases Of
his speech until the market had
closed.
1.-THE government is convinced"
said Churchill, .'that our financial po-
sition justifies a return to the gold
standard.
at is necessary, too, that the pol
icy of debt repayments be continued.

fund to its statutory limits"
To Gold Standard.
ChurchilIs budget calls for expen-
ditures of 7O9, 100000 pounds, which
is 100000 above the last years
budget.
1.-THE present time is favorable to
return to the gold standard" he con-
tinued. "The American exchange rate
is favorable. Britain hasn't any heavy
commitments to the United States.
The political and economic security of
both countries is the most favorable"
There was a surplus for last year
Of 1858, 900 pounds, said Churchill. He
said this sum had been devoted to
debt redemption and that the total
had been reduced 100000 pounds
and the external debt 100000
pounds.
Referring again to the gold stand
ard, Churchill said the gold standard
operates today, but that did not mean
return of gold currnecy.

Of a yellow socialist Revolutions
should come as painlessly as dividend
checks from the Standard OIL COM
pany, but they don't.
GENERAL DAWES is rather proud
~ of his revolutionary ancestors.
They should be worth a million votes
to him, four years from now, If he
decides to run for the presidency. The
fact that they used their trusty rifles
on the British make them all the more
dear to the would-be fascist leader.
Dawes is true to his class. He knows
that they hold power by force and
he has no conjunction about the use
of force when it suits the purpose.
And he knows that the workers will
be obliged to use force when the time
comes. That is why we have an
army, and generals.
EUNNY how our yellow socialists
Pc hate the very idea of the working
class using force in their own behalf.
But there is no criticism of the social
lists of Europe, employing force in the
interests of the capitalist class. Eng
land and Germany are horrible ex-
amples. There was no outcry from
the yellow socialist press when the
Noskes, Eberts and Scheidemanns
shot down the flower of the German
proletariat, when Karl Liegknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg raised the slogan Of
"Soviet Republic" in 1918. But
because of the "pacifism" Of the Ger
man socialists the workers Of that
country must wade thru sea of blood
before they plant the victorious ban
ner of Communism over the citadel
of German capitalism. But for the
treachery of the socialists that vic
tory could have been achieved in 1918
with a minimum of bloodshed. This
is the inevitable result Of socialist
"pacifsm."

One oficious member Of the ar
