Nevertheless, the Washington
club had obtained ownership Of
these aged gentlemen and pro-
ceeded to get them into condition.
What else was there to do?
Right off the reel, Dutch
Ruether appeared at Hot Springs,
Ark, far ahead of his schedule.
True, he was unsigned, but he
calmly and confidently announced
that before signing a contract
with the world champion Griff-
men, he wanted to learn for him
self whether his ailing wing was
in its ancient condition.
eff / can pitch up to my best
form, want to be with the Wash
ington world champions" said
Ruether, between baths. off l
find my arm is done, Pm willing
to quit playing ball. If I'm any
good, want to be paid according
". If I'm no good, down and
out as a pitcher, l don't want q
cent of Clark Griffith's money
Then Stan Coveleskie appeared
at Hot Springs and proceeded to
take the daily hikes and the daily
tubbings. He had little to say
until he discovered himself lighter
by some ten or fifteen pounds
than he had been for four years.
He began chattering then.
Meanwhile, after his series OF
minor league interviews, Walter
johnson reported at Hot Springs
hard as nails and eager to step
into the harness for at least one
more campaign.
Then, to make matters worse,
Vean Gregg settled his difficult
ties with the Seattle club and de-
cided to try his luck in the big
show once more. Furthermore, a
winter spent outdoors is said to
have kept the veteran southpaw
in perfect fettle.
This was too much for the
funny lads in the metropolis, for
the spineless lads in the hinter-
land. They have begun backing
up already. Jokes at the ex-
pense of the Washington club,
President Clark c. Griffith and
Bucky Harris have strangely dis
appeared from the newspapers OF
late. It begins to look serious to
the humorists.
Where Johnson's passing was
considered certain, now they're
worrying about the big fellow and
trying to guess how many games
he may win for the titleholders.
Where Coveleskie had been
termed burned out" now they're
doping him to "show new life"
and to benefit by Washington's
well-known warm weather"
Where Dutch Ruether was de-
scribed as a "trouble-maker" and
"done as a big Lacquer" now
they're saying that the American
League is "a southpaw's heaven
and Ruether may be expected to
shine"
Where Gregg drew laughs for
his temerity in asking another
chance, now they're saying that
"his famous delivery ought to
get him by in southpaw's Para
disc"
Really it is amusing to note the
decided shift in opinions expressed
by baseball writer's around the
country. Those soothing at Wash
ington's chances of repeating are
taking in their sails. They're
wasting no time, either. They
don't care to be left out in the
storm the Griffmen threaten to
kick up, beginning on April IA
in their opening contest against
the New York Yankees. Yes.
and that's going to be SOME
STORM, brother, SOME STORM.

BORDEAUX, Apr. 2S.-Jean Bap tiste Roland, who recently ceiebrat- ed his 149th birthday and is said to be Frances oldest citizen probably owes his life to the fact that one of his legs is six inches sho:tel than the other. As a consequence he has escai;.d service i1 al' ;.:. ars which have rf.s ed during his lifetime
 M. Roland has three sons living The baby is S3, the second son is S7 and the oldest, Michael, is not quite 95. Discussing the latter M Roland recently said: He is a poor sort. He isn't quite 95, but he is deaf, half blind and not able to work. It is too bad for a child to be in such a state. I often wonder what will happen to him if he should become a really old man.

HENRY FORD GATHERS
 ANCIENT AND MODERN
 HISTORICAL VEHICLES

DETROIT, Apr. 2S.-As the more active days of his career respond to the memorable toll of years, Henry Ford is making new claim to dis +inction and in a new field-history. The man who has been quoted as saving "history is bunk" is quietly gathering from all parts of America what is regarded by historians as one of the greatest collections of vehicles in existence.
 The collection is just one or sever al that slowly are being formed at hs Dearborn, Mich, property
 Altho inaugurated primarily as collection of physical objects illus trating the origin and progressive evo- lution of transportation facilities, the collection now has overlapped that limitation and has come to in clude more or less completed lines of specimens illus5rating the prog, TESS of mechanical icvcntiop and achievement in almost e.".T depart ,nent q; human in(rtcst.

Then there is an old mail coach of the type used for passengers, bag gage and mail, with provisions for outside passengers on top.
 There is the Conestoga wagon, or prairie schooner, genuine Ameri can product that followed the first mountain roads out of the eastern states, threaded the vast plains crossed the Rockies and brought the first settlers to Oregon and Califor- nia. The Concord coach, which was regarded as the last work in transpor- tation and was capable of 16 miles an hour also is represented as also is the Pennsylvania blackboard, some times called the Adam and Eve Wagon" because it was built for two
 Other exhibits are the common blackboard which was the first of the American light spring wagons; the phaeton, regarded late in ~the eight eenth century as the apex Of style, the victoria, the rockaway with it's small enclosed body, the American buggy often called the queen" of the horsedrawn passenger vehicles and an old coupe-sleigh of the early statehood period
 A two-horse "cosiable" in the col. lection was considered the top of the list of modern carriages in Civil War days. There also is an American rac- ing sulky and several specimens of ancient and modern fire fighting ap- paratus.
 A curiosity is the old Dearborn band wagon, with it's spring seats placed on an ordinary wagon box It was in this wagon, that Henry Ford, an uncle of the automobile manufac- turer, played the fife in musical organization which also included a flutist, one snare drum and one bass drum player and an alternate bass drummer.
 The collection also includes the first Ford automobile, with its four high, solid-rubber tired, steel-spok- ed wheels, it's dashboard, kerosene headlight, steering rod and conspicu- ous flywheel of the exposed motor. This vehicle was h,1iIt in 1904

Exposing Imperialism

The actual condition Of slavery in the colonies of
the great powers is exposed every once in while
by some bourgeois writer who happens to be more
truthful than cautious. Such a one is f. r.
Eldridge, quoted by "Scrutator," of the Chicago
Tribune who specializes in diatribes against every
manifestation of discomfort and glOrifcatiOn of
capitalism in all its phases.
India under British Imperialism is the illustra-
ton picked by this defender of things they
Says Eldridge:
"Under the economic conditions which
sarly must exist in India, It is little wonder that
the per capita purchasing power is placed at
little $40 per annum and the per capita Inn
ports at only $3.50.
"To grasp the real meaning, however, we must
take into consideration the per capita exports.
These amount to $3.50, so per cent more
than the imports. This means that every man,
woman, and child Of the $4,000, 600 inhabitants Of
India annually is sending out of the country half
much again he she brings in"
Roy the leader of the Communist Party of In
Idia has written nothing more damning than this
exposure of the degradation that is the lot of the
Indian masses under the rule of 'white, christian,
iAngloSaxon saviors of civilization"
OF the total exports, about go cents comes back
to the Indian working class and peasantry. The
remaining 20 cents per capita, totaling 1898 OOO
000 goes to the bankers and industrial capitalists
to the British imperial government, as reward
for prosperity" they have brought to India. Part
of this enormous sum, the minted blood and sweat
of the Indian masses, is used to pay for airplanes
bombs, machine guns and soldiery that give chris
tan atmosphere to imperialist enterprise; the
balance is clear velvet tho part of it again is used
to bride the labor aristocracy of Britain into &C
cord with the schemes for colonial robbery.
1t is little wonder that the rulers of Great
Britain fear the influence of the Communist Inter
national and the example set to the suffering
masses of India by the workers and peasants of
Russia.
India has been described by British orator as
"the brightest gem in the imperial dadem" but
out of the misery of the Indian workers and
peasants, out of the activity of the Communists
applying the teachings of Lenin to the colonial
problem, is coming a great revolutionary move
ment that will wrest this gem from the clutches of
the imperialist bandits and make it the possession
of Soviet government of India
"The bear that walks like a man." of whom
Kipling wrote, now carries the red banner of Com
munism and speaks in the name of the Indian
working class and the toiling millions Of all the

A Real Capitalist Hero

General Nelson A. Miles is in Chicago this week
as the guest of the lions clubone of those organ
izatiOns of 100 per cent American gnOramuses that
are springing up like mushrooms and which repre-
sent in social life the kind of culture that made the
iron deer on the front lawn the symbol of American
art in earlier period.
The fame of Miles is based largely on the fact
that he headed the military force that Grover
Cleveland sent, over the protest of Governor Alt
geld to break the great railway strike of 1894.
To Miles is attributed an utterance that is much
more typical of American military history than
Farraguts damn the torpedoes go ahead" or
Grants ~ propose to fight it out on this line if it
takes all summer" The statements of our gold
braided heroes that really the lions kiwans
and rotary clubs to feverish enthusiasm and voci-
ferrous approval such as those of General Miles,

July 3, 1884,

violence ceases and that the United States mails

in Chicago. 49,. will give you five hours to get
this situation under control II at the end Of that
time IL is not in hand will take military control
and see that disorder Is reduced"
The dispatch Of federal troops to break the 1894
strike marked the advent of the power of the cen
trail government into strikes on the side of the
lcapllansts as an accepted pollcy coincldent with
the Capitalization of American industry. Since
that time much progress has been made-the
wholesale use of the state power against the work
ers-a policy that has made the state militia
part Of the armed forces of the central
and their use in strikes a commonplace.
The end is not yet. The use of troops in the gen
era strike of coal miners in 1919 and the blanket
injunction issued against the striking shopmen in
1922 are steps in this development that only the
Communists understands development that is
part and parcel of capitalism in its final stage of
imperialism and that to try to check by any other
than revolutionary methods is comparable to bat

Twice as many undesirable aliens"
were deported from the United
States during the present fiscal year
as were deported during the last

adding that the net increase In
population due to immigration is
only 100000 for the past six months.
"The figures from the department
OF labor show that Mexican Imml-
grafton has been reduced so per
cent and Canadian immigration 20
per cent. Germany and the irish
Free State furnished more ImmI-

any other nations" Johnson de-
elared.
