REDS Of SILENCE
AND HUNGER STRIKE
Drinking Water and Oratory
Diet at Ellis Island.
BARRIER CAUSES TROUBLE
Net Screening Off Visitors Erected
After Discovery of 'Kscape
Plots and Weapons.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25. A hunger
strike was coupled with a "silence"
strike today by 73 radicals at Ellis
Island in an effort to have removed
an iron barrier separating them from
visiting relatives.
The barrier was erected after dis
covery that several reds planned to
escape by exchanging clothes with
friends and after some visitors had
passed revolvers to the radicals.
In a letter to the house immigra
tion committee, which is in New York
investigating the immigration and
deportation system, they reiterated
that they would not attend deporta
tion hearings held by immigration
inspectors and would go 6n a hunger
strike in -addition. Three summons
to the dining rooms were unanswered.
Drinking water and oratory had been
their only diet tonight for 24 hours.
About a half dozen voluntarily at
tended hearings, but joined in the
hunger stride. One attended a hear
ing, but refused to 'answer questions,
t Legal Advice Asked.
'Byron H. TJhl, acting commissioner
rft the Island, asked the advice of the
local United States district attorney
as to whether hearings could be held
without the presence of the radicals.
He thought members of the house
committee had been incorrect in " an
nouncing that a supreme court deci
sion required their presence.
The strikers, with the exception of
two young women, are segregated in
a. large room. All are anxious to be
deported to soviet Russia or go there
voluntarily, according to their coun
sel. The radicals letter to the congres
sional committee read:
"Gentlemen: Whereas, inmates of
room 203. having been subjected at
the time of our arrest to cruel beat
ings and insults on the part of the
agents of the government of the Ijnit
id States which permitted such an
outra ge;
"Whereas, we have received a for
mal slap in the face from the com
missioner of the island, a certain Mr.
Uhl, who broke a promise given to us
by the commissioner, to the effect
that the barriers that had been lately
placed between us e.nd our friends
and relatives vould be removed;
"We. the undersigned, declare that
we are:
Hunger Strike Declared.
"Resolved, that so long as we hold
dear our unalienable right to press
to our breasts our children and rela
tives when they come to visit us;
so long as a wire net barrier placed
between us and our visitors shall re
main at the time of our visit; so
long as our comrades held in room
210 shall have not been transferred
to 203 until then we refuse to go
to hearings and we declare a hunger
strike to start at 8:30 o'clock Tues
day's breakfast hour, November 25,
1919. Results of the strike, whatever
they may be, whatever victims or
loss in health, all shall fall upon the
head of the administration of the
island."
The letter bore 73 signatures of
"Inmates of room 203."
SEATTLE, Nov. 25. Immediate
state-wide criminal prosecution of all
persons advocating changes in the
government or institutions by unlaw
ful means is planned by prosecuting
attorneys of Washington, according to
a statement issued today at the close
of a two days conference held here
by prosecutors of 39 counties. Attor-ney-tleneral
L. L. Thompson presided.
Local bar associations were asked
by the conference to furnish the
attorney-general with the names of
Washington lawyers who are willing
to assist without compensation, in the
prosecution of the cases. Citizens
throughout the state also were riYged
by the prosecutors to help. Many can
help by welcoming jury duty, the
statement said.
The attorneys decided no new laws
were needed to handle the cases.
mistice protocol, was expressed in a
note delivered to Kurt von Lersner.
head of the German delegation at
Versailles, by the supreme council last j
night.
If the treaty of Versailles is not
put into force by December 1, the
note adds, the responsibility will lie
with the German government, as the.
departure of Ir. Simson inevitably
delays further conferences which
must be held. Ir. Von Lersnet- ia
asked to state what are the inten
tions of the German government. .
It was learned today that Von
Lersner sent a letter to Secretary
Dutasta of the peace conference Fri
day to the effect that the head of
the plenipotentiaries had become con
vinced that he must consult the Ger
man government regarding .the pro
tocol, especially as the national as
sembly would have to approve the de
cisions reached.
The Von Lersner letter protested
against the question of the repatria
tion or prisoners again being bound
up with that of putting the treaty
into effect.
Premier Clemenceau. as president
of the peace conference, replied on
Saturday, saying that Von Lersuer s
letter made him question if the treaty
could be put into force on December
1, owing to the Tierman government's
action, although that government had
known the contents of the protocol
since November 1.
M. Clemenceau said the supreme
council s agreement to release Ger
man prisoners was conditional on ful
fillment by Germany of the terms of
the armistice; Germany had only to
sign the protocol and repatriation
would commence.
M. Clemenceau added a postscript
expressing surprise at the departure
with Simson of the experts wno had
arrived three days before to regulate
11., questions. This, M. Clemen-reau
asserted, was only explainable as ?U-j
sign of the wish of Germany to dtlay
definite ratification.
BUDAPEST, Nov. 24. (By the
Associated Press.) The Hungarian
government has appointed a peace
delegation to negotiate a treaty . be
tween the allied powers and Hungary.
PARIS, Nov. 25. Rumania's reply
to the latest entente note on the ques
tion of Rumania's attitude, toward
Hungary and her status as an ally,
which took the form of an ultimatum,
is understood to be on the way to
Paris. The week given the Rumanians
to reply expired yesterday before the
answer was dispatched, but it h ex
plained in- Rumanian circles that the
reason for the delay was that the
entente note itself was delayed,
reaching the Rumanians In install
ments. Private advices indicate that the
reply promises the entente entire
satisfaction on the points raised.

Cliaos Held' Pronounced.
BERLIN'. Nov. 25. (By the Asso
ciated Press. Theodor "Wolff, edi
tor of the Berliner TaKeblatt. and
leorfc Bern hard, pol itical writer of
the Vossische Zeitunp. warn their
readers against passing premature
judgment on the failure of the United
states senate to ratify the peace i
treaty. 1
Wolff declares that even if the sen- J
ate .should finally ratify the treaty. J
the impression would continue to pre-
vail anion? Kuropean associates of j
the United States that American op- j
position to further- participation in '
the effort to untangle the Kuropean i
chaos was so strongly pronounced '
that future American guarantees '
could be looked on as something not
wholly reliable.
He questions whether Germany
would benefit through a withdrawal ;
of the American troops in the Coblena ;
area and the absence of American ;
members from the various peace con- j
lerence commissions.
"The , Americans will concede us
only so much as serves to benefit ,
their own interests," Herr Wolff con- i
tinues. "They will grant us the credit
to cover the cost of their surplus raw !
products, but for a lonpr time to come J
their inclination will be to grant us I
and the rest of Europe, whose charms I
no longer attract them, the minimum
needed assistance." j
"The United States does not propose j
to dispose of its role as guardian of
all America for the privilege of con- i
cerning itself about far-off Europe," :
Herr Bernhard says. "The Monroe
doctrine is not anti-European. It fun-':
dainentally proclaims the right of
self-determination of the world's ctfn- '
tinents.
"For the time being the League of
Nations must be constituted within ,
the boundaries of each continent. ;
When these Interests have been polit- :
Ically and economically concentrated, '
the time will be ripe for the promul
gation of a genuine world league of;
nations." !

Watch Them Whiten
As the film disappears. You
will know then what clean
teeth mean.
Your teeth are not clean. You can feel a slimy film.
Probably the film has dimmed themsome tartar may
have formed.
Your present methods of brushing: do not end film,
and that is the teeth's great enemy. Now we ask you to
try a new method try it at our cost and compare results.
Film Can Be Ended Now
Most tooth troubles are" due to that film.
It is film that discolors not the teeth. It is the basis
of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and
forms acid. It holds the acid in, contact with the teeth
to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are
the chief cause cf pyorrhea.
The film clings to the teeth, enters crevices and stays. -Brushing
does not end it. No ordinary tooth paste can
dissolve it. Night and day it may do a ceaseless damage.
And millions find, as a result, that ordinary brushing
does not save the teeth.
Now dental science, after many years, has found a film,
combatant. The facts have been proved by convincing
clinical and laboratory tests. The method is today ap
proved by leading dentists everywhere.
For home use this -method is embodied in a dentifrice
called Pepsodent.- And we are mailing 10-Day Tubes to
all who ask, to let everyone see its effects.'
The Pepsin Method
- Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin.
The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent
is to dissolve it, then to day by day combat it.
Science has found a harmless method of activating pep-
sin. The usual method is an acid harmful to the teeth.
So pepsin long seemed barred.
Now pepsin can be constantly applied can be left to
linger between the teeth. Now you can every day combat
this film in a simple, dainty way.
- Millions of teeth are being cleaned in this new way.
You can see them everywhere white, glistening teeth.
Send this coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean
the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of theVlimy
film. See how the teeth whiten as the fixed film disappears.
Learn what clean teeth mean see how they look.
Then decide for yourself between the old methods and
the new. Cut out the coupon now.

Pianos That Stand
the Test of Time
At a glance, nearly all Pianos look alike out
wardly few can tell much difference inside
many, of course, can note a difference in tone.
After all, Pianos are usually bought on the
dealer's "say so." If the store is a reliable one,
you can rely upon the statements made you
get what you are paying for.
There are dealers, however, who figure on sell
ing a customer "just once" they make state
ments which time proves to be false. The mate
rials show up as inferior the instrument was
constructed cheaply in every detail it was
made to "sell cheap" it soon sounds tinny
the action gives out it is a failure- it does not
stand the "test of time."
As the customer must rely greatly upon the
dealer, why not be careful in your choice of
him? In the first place, a reliable dealer will
only carry good instruments. In the second
place, you can depend upon his statements. He
is in business to stay he knows his Pianos will
"stand up" that they" will give good, long
service that you will be satisfied. He knows
that you will recommend others to him that,
should occasion arise, you will purchase of him
again all because his Pianos are as repre
sented and do stand the "test of time."
