Russian Princess May
Hate to Wed Out Of Her
Class, But She's Broke

Russian royalty, in the person of
Princess Nathalie, daughter of
Grand Duke Paul, an uncle of the
late Car Of Russia, is condescending
to a marriage with a business man,
so it is rumored in Paris.
The prospective groom is Lucien
LeLong, the inventor Of Kinetic
clothes, who runs a Paris dressmak-
ing establishment in which the Prin-
cess has been salesIady in the per-
fumery department.
1t is understood that the Princess
mother is making the customary OBJ
lection to accepting a non-royal SON
in-law, but it is not expected that
her opposition will be more than for
NAL since LeLong is estimated to be
worth about 30,0OO,O00 francs.
This event will have to wait until
LeLong's decree of divorce from his
present wife is granted.

ANTEALIEN LEGISLATION IMPRACTICAL ~

who has worked continually for years,
raised family, has furnished home,
can be taken from his family, strip
ped of all his savings, thrust behind
bars for two years and deported.
The following are a few of the re-
suits that would be the outcome if
the Aswell bill should become a law:
IA national rogues' gallery will
be established, the purpose of which
will be the recording of names, data,
fingerprints, photographs, etc, of
every one who has not had the dis
tinction of being born in America.
EVERY American consulate in
foreign countries will be transformed
into an agency for the hiring of strike
breakers.
"A yearly tax of from SO to $40
for the first year and SIS the fol-
lowing year on all adult aliens will
be imposed.

Miss Cicely Applebaum in an article
in the current edition of "Labor Age"
puts the situation like this: "The coke

Hunky, Slav, Polack and Eyetalian!
The open-face is. no longer John but
Giovanni and Jan. In all the basic
industries--iron and steel manufac-
ture, slaughtering and meat packing,
bituminous and coal mining, wooden
and worsted manufacturing, cotton

and oil refining, foreign-born workers

When the late President Harding
was alive. he approved OF the regis
tration Of aliens as measure which
would prove effective in wedding out
those who had entered the country
illegitimately.
To date President Coolidge has not
yet indicated what the policy of the
administration would be in respect to
such measure, but his Secretary Of
Labor, Hon. James J. Davis, has
shown favor to various measures Of
similar tenor.

BY LEON BLUMENFELD.

The American public, or to be pre-
else, that vast multitude that is
classed as alien, is this day confronted
by abuses which have characterized
ancient European despotism. I am
referring to the sundry and obnoxious
registration bills which are intro
duced in congress at premeditated in
tervals. The Hon. Messrs. Aswell,
Holiday and Brand are the trio who
in the past few months have at
tempted to create a new army of Of
ficial shoppers by registering, photo
graphing, finger-printing, etc, all
aliens residing in the country.
Bills Before Congress.
At the present time congress is
faced by two bills, one requiring reg
istration, and the other permitting
voluntary registration. On the face
of it, the latter is impractical. 1t is
manifest that it is deliberately in
tended as the formation Of channel
for permitting voluptuous, narrow
minded petty officials to victimize
and mulct unknowing and unsuspect-
ing foreigners. The foreign born
worker must be cloaked with protec-
tion. The foreign born element in
America is too great, too important
to be given such trivial attention. To
the National Council for the Protee-
tion Of Foreign Born Workers, goes
the task of combating all these at
tempts at alien legislation.
The passing and enforcement Of
registration laws will add still an
other blot on the so-called American
freedom. One of the most immediate
effects will be found in the increased
cost Of living of foreigners and even
interfere with their social tolerance.
It is quite natural, consequently, that
sthe foreign born and those derived
from foreign parentage are emphati-
c'allr opposed to such tyrannicaI leg
isiiation, which is synonymous to dis
aster.
boon For Open Shop Advocates.
The Aswell bill exaggerates its
significance and purpose to a degree
that places the alien faction of the
working class in the category Of cul-
prits. By employing vile tactics such
as thwarting and intimidating, this
bill intends to disable foreign workers
for the labor struggles.
Recently a precedent has been set
by Judge Busdick of California to the
extent that any judge can outlaw a
labor organization by an injunction.
This, of course, makes for the alien
laborers membership in any labor
union a crime punishable by two years
imprisonment, fine of $4,000 and
deportation. Can you grasp the mean

ESTRADA TRIAL
INDICATES U, S,
OIL MEMS PLOT
FiIibuster's "Army" to
Pave Way for Marines
Ry WILLIAM sCHNEIDERMAN.


LOS ANGELES. March 14.-The
trial and conviction of General Es-
trada, former Mexican minister Of
war, for violation of the U. S. neu-
trality laws in attempting to cross
the border into Mexico with an
"army" of 125 men, has come to a
close in Los Angeles. Estrada was
sentenced to Imprisonment for one
to one and a half years.
The peculiar circumstances Of this
"revolt" which was nipped in the bud
indicate that this was more than a
mere attempt at eounter-revolution
in Mexico, although it is known that
Adolpho de Ia Huerta, who openly
carries on his propaganda against
the Mexican government from his
Los Angeles Headquarters, was un-
doubtedly in sympathy with Estrada
Making An Incident.
Estrada's plan was to cross the
border, seize an unnamed Mexican
town nearby, and confiscate enough
money from the gambling joints to
finance his revolt and extent it
further into Mexico
As these gambling houses are al
most entirely owned by wealthy
Americans, one can easily see behind
the plan. 1t merely would serve as
an excuse for intervention on the
part Of the American government,
whose Justification would be the now
famous and familiar phrase "protec-
tion of American lives and property"
Who Backed II.
The Estrada affair smells strongly
of being "fixed." The source of the
financial backing for Estrada's army
has never been revealed, although an
American firm in San Diego fur
nished the miniature "army" with
the necessary military equipment.
There is very good reason to believe
that Estrada was backed by the same
American interests which are re-
sponsible for "our" governments
row with Mexico.
This suspicion is strengthened
when it is pointed out that the no
torious Mr.. Doheny, who, together
with that other coil patriot" Mr..
Harry Sinclair, owns oil concessions
in Mexico, carries on his business af-
fairs in Los Angeles.
Seasoned Mexican revolutionists
find it hard to believe that an army
of 125 men would seek to invade
Mexico on any other pretext.

Sacasa Envoy Calls
Policy of America a
" Barbar0ns Sport"

WASHINGTON, (FP.). March IA
American iAterveAtion in Nicara-
qua has become "a barbarous sport
for American Investment bankers,
but a sport framed in advance as
to who shall win when all the vic
Tins have shed their blood, says DR..
T. S. Vaca, agent in Washington for
the Sacasa Liberal government. This
statement deals with the sending of
1876 marines, with a field gun and
machine guns, to Matagalpa, which
the Sacasa forces We're about to oc-
cupy.
Latest Neutral Zone.
"Matagalpa is the latest neutral
zone," he says, situated some 70
miles north Of the railroad lines, in
the mountains Evidently it has no
bearing on the purpose to keep open
the line Of communication between
the American legation in Managua
and the base at the port Of Corinto,
which was the explanation for the
most recent landing Of marines.
The neutral zone has double
edge. 1t keeps the Constitutional
(Sacasa) forces from any desired
military position and also releases
from that position the Diaz soldiers,
so that they may outnumber Mon
cada's (Sacasa) troops, saving the
marines from the necessity of actu-
ally having to assume the task of
destroying the Constitutional arm
les.
Decided to Advance.
"a barbarous sport, this setting of
Nicaraguans to fight, when the final
result has been decided in advance
at the inner councils of American in
terventionists. Our prudish civili-
zation rants against bull fights in
Difference to the poor horse, but this
inhuman slaughter seems to find
plenty of delighted fans among GER
tain powerful money makers. These
so-called investors engineered the
frame-up. The ferment of revolt
was allowed to spread and develop.
Hopes of success that might have
been crushed easily at the beginning
were encouraged. The slow process
of arming the people was permitted
to go on. The struggle has been
protracted and yet all could have
been averted in the beginning with
less harm to the dignity and SINGER
ity of the interventionists and very
little cost to the intervened.
"At this very moment, / am in
formed unequivocally, Diaz and his
few partisans would have reached a
peaceful agreement with the Consti-
tutional defenders if they were al
lowed to do so. 1t may be that the
greater the destruction and ruin of
these poor people of Nicaragua, the
easier it would be to justify more
profitable and further reaching
measures to 'rehabilitate' the devas-
tated little country"

SUMMERTIME
By d. c. PEATTIE.
Flaabane.

BY the unlovely name Of fieabane
goes one of the loveliest Of the COM
mon roadside flowers. i like far bet
ter its Latin name. Erigeron. l have
forgotten, for this moment, what it
means, but whatever it means, it is
more euphonious than fieabane. Why
did our ancestors, in naming plants,
pick such an ugly lot as feabane, dog
bane, henbane, lousewort and the
like?
OF feabanes we have five sorts.
First in Spring. from the red-clay
hills, in the scant shade of woods,
shoots up Poor Robins plantain, with
big bright eye Of yellow and rays Of
rose or purple or white, and fat, hairy
stems rising out of pretty basal
rosette of leaves. Now Erigeron Phil
adelphicus is in bloom-though why
Philadelphia has any special claim on
it might not be clear
One may know it by it's innumer-
able rays of bright rose pink and it's
curious clasping leaves. Abundant in
every meadow all Summer long is the
pretty white daisy fleabane," with
small, gay flowers. And now, closely
similar, but bigger and coarser in
every way, the white top fleabane''
starts up as a weed Of no particularly
harmful proclivities.
Alas. there is a black sheep in the
family-the horseweed, which has 70
rays apparent at all on it's flowers,
and looks about as attractive as eyes
without eyclashes. 1t is a weed, if
ever there was one, and much does the
gardener fear it. fight it every year.
All the erigerons are apt to he mis-
! taken for asters, so closely do these
kin resemble each other. One may
know them apact nv the fact that
erigerons do not bear tiny leaves on
each flower stalk.
