Lloyd George Defends Dicker ing With Bolsheviki. ts3 m , m 45 TO HAVE DAY IN COURT POLICY DECLARED FORCED NEW YORK RADICALS Commissioner of Immigration Says Keports of 'Wholesale Deporta tion of Aliens Cnjustificd. NKW TOKK, . Feb. 12. Writs of habeas corpus Fought by a group of radicals in an effort to prevent depor tation of 49 of the 54. aliens to Ellis inland from the west were issued to night by Federal Judge Knox. The' writs are returnable tomorrow. Miss Caroline Lowe of Chicago, a lawyer, headed the group that obtained the writs, summoning Judge Knox from a Lincoln-day dinner which he was at tending in order to make the request. The application follows a number of conferences among New York radicals, which began shortly after news was received that, undesirable aliens from Seattle, Chicago and other western cities were cm their way to New York under a heavy guard. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Anthony Caminetti. commissioner-general of im migration, said tonight that reports of prospective wholesale deportations were "unjustified." ' Six Thousand to Be Deported. "It is estimated that about 6000 aliens are to be deported, the great majority because they are insane or otherwise public charges,"' Mr. Caminetti said. "Most of the remainder are diseased or have been found guilty of offenses subjecting them to deportation. A few comparatively are agitators who are opposed to our form of government or all organized government. "None of the aliens recently taken from Seattle to Fllis island for depor tation has any connection with the strikes at Seattle or elsewhere in the west. 'Leportees now in custody have been rounded up over u. considerable period of time, but could not be deported be fore because of the shortage of ship ping ("facilities. "All neports that trains are being mobilized t deport anarchists or any others are fereatly exaggerated." Onf-Tenth Unnaturalized. About one-tenth of the population of the United 'States is composed of un naturalized aliens, according to Ray jnond F. Crist, deputy commissioner of naturalization, who declared today that such a condition would not be -permitted by any other country and appealed to American citizens to help in making citizens of alien residents. He eaid there were 10,500.000 persons in this country who still retain their allegiance to the land of their birth. "There are now 17,500,000 aliers In this country, yet barely 6,000.000 have become citizens," Mr. Crist said. ''Such a tremendous unassimilated mass means danger, for among these millions com paratively few have any knowledge of or interest in American institutions. "It is the duty of every American citizen who loves America to seek out his friends and acquaintances of for eign birth and to prevail upon them, if they wish to remain here, to become citizens," Mr. Crist said.

Factories Destroyed, Raw Materials Lacking; and People Are Discour aged Over Delay in Restoration. T!Y ERNEST SMITH- ' (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished bv Arrangement.) BRUSSELS, I'eb. 12. I have had an important conversation with M. Dela croix, prime minister of the coalition government formed to. undertake the gigantic task of restoring Belgium. M. Delacroix, who holds the portfolio of finance as well as the premiership, explained to me that the credits the allies will openin favor of Belgium, on the security of Germany's debt for reparation, are based on the Belgium government's estimate that.it will re quire ten milliard francs ($2,000,000, 000) to restore the country. The exact indemnity Germany must pay Belgium will be fixed by the peace conference. The following facts given to me by M. Delacroix illumine his statement: There are 1.000,000 working people in Belgium who are forced to be-idle today. There is suf ficient, work at Antwerp, up to the moment, only for from 5 to 10 per cent of the dock and transport work ers. The metal and transport workers are idle because so many factories have been destroyed and there is no raw material. The cost of living is five to six times higher than before the war. "Anions the numerous problems which the restoration of Belgium raises," said M. Delacroix, "there is one which is agonizing in the first degree. That is the urgency of start ing work again. Our great allies often have given us solemn assurances which are comforting. They promised us aid without reserve: they declared that the restoration of Belgium was one of the objec ts of the war. They refused all pourparlers with Germany so long as she did not undertake to restore Belgium. "The hour has now come to redeem these promises, but the allies are obliged to delay action until the con clusion of the peace conference. In fact, it is the conference that will de termine the indemnities that are to come to Belgium and the mode'of their payment." YOUNG SUITOR IS SPURNED MARRIAGE VENTURE LEADS MAN TO NIGHT IN JAIL. Irvin" Beach, Robbed . in Chicago, Works Way to Albany to Claim Correspondence Bride. ' ALB ANT, Or., Feb. 12 (Special.) About a month ago Irvin Beach left a good job In Ypsilanti, Mich., and with his worldly assets in his pocket started for this city, expecting to wed upon his arrival here. Today he wound up in the local police court, broke and with out immediate prospects of matrimony. His trouble started, he says, when he read an advertisement in a matrimonial bureau paper. Then he began -corresponding with Mrs. Florenc Zimmer man of Albany. Beach says his wedding was arranged and because Mrs. Zim merman preferred Oregon climate to that of Michigan he started westward. In Chicago he fell in with a sharper who got his roll of f200. With what small "means he had left and by work ing some he made his way to Albany, arriving a few days ago. He says he was welcomed at first at Mrs. Zimmer man's home. He claims that he found the larder low and replenished it and bought a table also. Then he went to see about a' mar riage license but found that he did not have enough money for medical ex amination and license fees. He then went to work for the Southern Pacific section here to earn the money. Last night he went to the Zimmer man home and found his bride-to-be absent. Instead Mrs. Zimmerman's daughter, who had come here from Sa lem, advised him that her mother had changed, her mind and would not marry him, so he had better leave. Beach re fused to go and the police were called and ho Bpent last night in the city jail. Today to Judge Llewellyn in the po lice court he related the story of his experiences and was released. HONOR PLANNED FOR ROYS CHANGING OF SIXTH STREET TO VICTORY WAY PROPOSED. British Leader Says Criminals In Russia Efficient and to Fight. Them Would Cost Much. LONDON, Feb. 12.-;-(By the Associ ated Press.) Premier Lloyd George spoke again today on the""general peace situation. i The premier, defending the proceed ings of the peaco conference, said the government had been devoting Its time to speeding up agreements. He was sanguine that a complete agreement would be reached concerning the Ger man western boundary, but the eastern boundary was a different matter. Un til the commission rent to-examine the matter reported, the allies would be in no position io make demands upon Ger many. The conference was unanimous. he said, that Germany had forfeited all rignts to ner colonies. Pacing; of I'ni'O eensary. Lloyd George contended that with re gard to indemnities the British govern ment was in advance -of any govern ment, as it was the first to appoint commission to deal with this matter. Me declared that there had never been any proposal advanced at the peace conference- to recognize the bol shevists. Russia was easy to dogmatize about but difficult to deal with. He admitted that the horrors of bolshevism were so great that there was a sense of disgust when they came t,o deal with its leaders, but it was useless to blind their -eyes to the real facts. Russia represented in area over half of Lurope and nearly half of Asia and he pointed oui, if peace were not made, the"whole of this immense territory would be seething in anarchy, disorder and bloodshed; there would be no peaco in the world. The bolshevists, the premier declared, were assassins, guilty of the crimes laid to their charges. The allies had given the anti-bolshevik government financial support and assistance. .Much of their equipment had been supplied by the allies, who were anxious to keep the rich territories of Russia out of German hands. 'iteda Declared Kfticlent. If troops were to be sent to Russia, who should send them? America, he said, would send neither men. money nor material, and the work would fall on the British and French. The bolshevist machinery In Russia was ruthless a-.id brutal, but there was no doubt about Its efficiency, and it was the only machinery there. Every body in the past who had interfered In Russia had come to grief. There was an idea of recognizing the bolshevists; it was quite impossible to do so as long as they were pursuing their present methods. It might be argued, he said, that the bolshevists governed by terror. The same could be said of the French rev- 1 olution. He was unable to disclose the figures that intervention would involve, but, after seeing them, no sane man, he declared, would advise the al lies, after five years of war, to under take the enterprise. The bolshevik military power had grown strong, while both England and Germany were too occupied to attack it. Parler With. Reds Defended. "If we won, how long should we' oc cupy the country." he asked, "and what guarantee would there be that, when we withdrew, a dependable gov ernment would be set up?" Referring to the alternative of allow ing the fire in Russia to burn itself out, the premier characterized this as a brutal policy and added that It would be useless to send food to Petrograd when the only distributing organiza tion was bolshevik. Supposing the Prinkipo island proposal, ttie premier argued that it was by no means unknown on the northern fron tier of India to parley with brigands and even assassins. The bolshevik system could not last forevar, and. In the meantime, he was Informed, the threat of intervention was driving the moaeraie elements into bolshevik hands. He urged that the allies must do their best in the interests not only of Russia, but abjo of Great Britain and of the world, to' restore order and good government in the distracted country. Mr. Lloyd George was sorry to hear members talking In rather slighting tone about the league of nations. Any one attending the peace conference must realize how much the little na tions were relying on the league. They were not only unanimous, but eager, In its support. Taft'w View Are Cited. It was suggested that President Wil son only represented one party regard ing the league, but former President Taft. he said, went much farther on the mandatory question than Presi dent Wilson himself, and much further than Britain could follow him. "I have been assured by a promi nent republican," he continued, "that so far as the league is concerned, the republican working men of America are just as keen as the democratic working'men and that American public opinion is not divided on the league." Starts Its New Drive You home-makfers know from sad experience how hard it was tobake up to standard when substitutes for white flour hacTto be used. You then may realize what the bakers had to contend with how very difficult it was to turn out bread of the same standard of excellence you had grown to expect of us. Some days, due to the mixed flours, things would go wrong, and the bread would be soggy and lacking in flavor in spite of our best efforts. But now we are happy to tell you that HOLSUM BREAD is again all white and as fine as the days before the war. Daily we must turn out more and more loaves to meet the ever increasing demand. Last year we sold over eight million pounds of bread this year promises to far over step that mark.
