SACRIFICES Vain
Unrest Among Ex-Sol-
diers Threatens Trouble
Especial to The DaIIy Worker

PARIS, Feb. 22-The tenth ami
versary of the battle of Verdun which
was celebrated here yesterday was
marked for the first time by bitter
ness springing from the conscious
ness that the 100000 who France lost
in the four months struggle died in
vain. The whole country is filled
with uncertainty and dread over the
future.
Desire Ferry, nationalist deputy
from Meurthe ct Mosselle, voiced the
feelings of the chauvinists when he
complained bitterly that Germany had
managed to escape the provisions OF
the Versailles treaty. He referred in
yelled terms to England when he
spoke of certain accomplices' which
were aiding the Germans in their
comeback.

ing huge demonstration in honor OF
Ossuary Douamont. Their orators,
like those of the nationalists, warned
the veterans to beware of the inter.
nationalist, meaning the Commu-
nists. At a memorial mass for the
dead here in the Chapel Invalides
Gen. Gourard and other militarists
tried to revive the patriotic emotions
of the people that have been ebbing
low Of late.
omlnous Unrest Increasing.
An ominous unrest prevails among
the veterans themselves. There is
little doubt that the revolutionary
sentiments expressed in his public
works by Henri Barbusse are findine
an increasing reflection among the
rank and file of the former soldiers
Many factors are contributing to this
the prolonged political crisis, with
its petty maneuverings for place, the
insoluble financial situation of the
government, the costly wars in Nor
COCO and Syria, and the shifting com
binations of international groupings
in connection with Germany's entr,
to the league.

NEGRO WORKERS
HEAR WHITMAN
AT YOUNGSTOWN

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. 22-Lovett
Fort Whiteman spoke here to group
of Negro workers from the local steel
mills. They were very much i'm
pressed with his presentation of the
struggle of the Negro workers, and how
the American Negro Congress pro-
posed to solve the problems.
After the meeting was over they
organized committee from their
ranks to meet with similar commit
tees from New Castle, Warren, Sharon
and decide on ways and means to
bring about a more close and a better
union Of the colored workers and the
white workers of the towns in the two
valleys where 1t was shown them by
Whiteman that some $4,000 Of their
race are toiling long hours for the
most miserable pay. Organization is
the means Whiteman told his hearers
by which they can better their condi-
ton. Many subs to the Negro Cham
pion were sold.

Finger-prints make the ideal black

fiinger-printing becomes a general en-

Dor organizer will have no refuge
from the omnipresent spotter of the
spotter Of the employer associations.
Cominsky's was not a labor case
but the jury action, which amounted
to reputation of police finger
print experts and to acceptance of in
dependent expert testimony showing
how easy 1t Is to fake finger-prints,
is a precedent that will be valuable
wherever the police attempt to rail-
road worker on the strength of
that sort Of identification.
The expert who was put on the
stand by the, defense is Albert
Wehde, author with ]. N. Beffel Of
the scientific but startling book,
'Fingerprints Can Be. Forged" He
has mixed fake and genuine prints
and challenged federal and local ex-
perts to pick the true from the false,
They failed. He arranged for ap-
pearances before the Illinois State
Association for Identification to DEM
onstrate the certainty with which per-
feet fakings can be put over but was

to another place like an unexploded

struck factory. The recently per-
fected process of transmitting finger
prints by wire would make still
further link in the frame-up chain.
Wehde testified that the finger
print of Comisky and that found on
a screen in the slain woman's room
were not the same. Police experts
testified that they were. The jury
believed Wehde, particularly after he
explained the possibility of taking
and how he had discovered tampering
with finger-prints while he worked as
political prisoner in the govern
ment's huge finger-print bureau at
Leavenworth penitentiary during the
war.

One Out of Every Ten
Workers Arrested

ZAGREB, Jugoslavia, Feb. 22.-The
police Of Zagreb which like all
police likes to pride itself on its
deeds" recently issued statistics
about its activity in 1925. Out Of
these very extensive statistics can be
seen that two-thirds of all the arrest
ed persons were workers, and that
last year every tenth worker of Tag
reb was arrested.
These statistics are incomplete as
there are no figures given as to the
number Of persons that were beaten
up and ill treated by the police. Ac-
cording to statements made by many
of them at least half of the persons
who were brought into the police Of
fee of zagreb had to suffer corporal

LIBERIAN unit
Colossal Grant Will Be
a Feudal Kingdom

AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 22.-Another
party to augment the Firestone Plan
tation company's Liberian forces is
now enroute to Africa, according to
officials Of the Firestone Tire & Rub
Der company. The group, under the
leadership of M. T. Copeland, Of the
Firestone export department, includes
T, e. Wills, of Youngstown, w. A.
Rutledge, Of Midvale, Pa, e. D. Ash
ley, of Carey, o., and DR.. P. F. Wills,
of New York.
The initial party of Americans sent
to Liberia selected sites for about 20
separate developments, according to
official reports, which will be placed
under cultivation as rapidly as labor
ers can be recruited. E. A. Ross, Of
Singapore, an Englishman, is in charge
Of developments. BY the end of the
first years operation it is expected
that 10000 or $4,000 acres will have
been cleared and cultivated.
A FeudaI Grant.
Under the terms Of agreements en-
tered into with the Liberian govern
ment, Mr.. Firestone is granted
lease for SO years on 100000 acres
of land, and another lease for like
period upon a plantation of 1000
acres, planted 10 years ago and in
full production. Arrangements have
been made also for the general pub
lie Improvement Of the country, such
as the construction of port and har-
Dor facilities, roads, hospitals, sani-
tation, lines of communication, and
the development Of hydro-electric
power.
Slaves Of Peons-Whichf
Experts estimate that the cost of
retaining the African jungle and
bringing rubber into bearing will be
a minimum of 500 per acre, or $780,
100000 to fully develop the lease. Ap-
proximately $4,000 laborers will be
required. Then the 100000 acres
will produce total of 100000 tons of
rubber, or approximately half Of the
quantity produced in the world today.

that this program means peace but
the real forces which are putting us
into Europe are not misled. They pro-
pose to put our government behind
the imperialistic exploitation of peo-
pies wherever those peoples may be
found with natural wealth in their
possession.
What a mess We are in. There is
no alternative left but to take up this
issue and fight it out to close. If
we are of mind to make the fight,
we can retire as an adviser and coun-
sellor of this league, we can restore
and maintain the policies of Washing
ton, we can keep out of European
politics"
Borah's Illusion.
Following his well-known line of at
tack, Borah took advantage of the
fact that it was Washington's birth
day and harked back to the policy that
guided the destinies of this republic
in its infancy. Instead of depicting
the United States as an imperialist
giant, maneuvering to gain advantage
of other nations thru the world court
instead of revealing the motive of the
House of Morgan ruthlessly to drive
the American workers into another
imperialist war against the great i'm
perialist rival, Great Britain Borah
depicts this country at the mercy of
the imperialist brigands of Europe
and views the coming war as one in
which Americans will be conscripted
to fight the battles of Europe. This
typical petty bourgeois attitude miss
es the mark a thousand miles. for II
fails to consider the one outstanding
fact Of international politics today as
regards the United States-that is the
world struggle for supremacy between
this country and Great Britain.

TOKYO, Feb. 22.-Japanese resi-

general meeting have adopted resolu-

government is urged to arrange at

the establishment of a central bank in
Mukden on the silver standard so that
"the basis of the financial policy Of
Japan in Manchuria may be i'm

Want Nationalist Suppressed.
The residents especially ask the
suppression of all anti-foreign move
ments in Manchuria at once and the
removal of "all regulations harmful
to the development of enterprises in
Manchuria and China" The latter
provisions are obviously aimed at the
Chinese national movement, and are
a direct demand for official Japanese
Intervention in China.

German Court Rewards
Assassin of Workers
by Their Acquittal

MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 22.-By
their acquittal of two members of
the notorius Free Corps" established
by Major Won Lutzow, the Bavarian
courts have legalized the murder of
Communists by their political enc
mics. The corps was the precursor
of the modern fascist organizations IN
this country.
The two defendants had been given
charge of IL workers, arrested near
Munich in the uprising of May, 1919,
charged with completely in the revolt.
OF the twelve, one. a known Com
munist. was Immediately shot with
out any trial. Rather than have the
bother of guarding the remaining
eleven they were taken out into the
courtyard Of the brewery from the eel.
lar in which they had been held, and
in full view of the brewery workmen.
The officer in charge explained that
the workers who witnessed the deaths
would thus be inundated from Civ
ing any help to the revolutionists.
Soelal-Demoeratlc Butcher Quoted.
The whole defense was based on
the decree Of Noske, the notorious
social-democratic butcher, Issued
March 8, 1919. This was an order
that all rebels taken with arms in
their hands were to be shot forthwith.
In its execution the cream Of Ger
many's revolutionists were murdered.
Tho the twelve workers in this case
were ADMITTEDLY unarmed, their assas-
sins were freed, to the Joy of all Ger
