Safe Passage Across Border

rHA.GO. Finland. Jan. IS. (By the
Associated Press.) The train having
aboard the bolshevists and anarchists
dtported from the United States, was
h ld here lasi evening until positive
assurance was received from the
Soviets that they would permit the
piu-ty to cross the Russian border
and that the deportees would not be
molested.
Grave rumors had come from the
border that Berkman and Goldman
alid their comrades would be killed
by the Russians, and. while there
was apparently no authority to con
firm this threat, it was deemed ad
visable to take all precautions.

yesterday afternoon from the Buford
aiid were placed in boxcars fitted with
l;tnk benches, tables and beds. Kach
car contained seven boxes of army
rations.
The Associated Press correspondent,
who arrived in the morning, was not
permitted at first to board the spe
cial, but after appealing to the au
thorities, the colonel in command re
ceived him briefly and he was taken
n hoard the train. It was originally
planned to send labor officials as far
as the border, but this was found
ur. necessary because the Finnish gov
ernment, through the American vice
rbnsul, volunteered to take over un
desirables as a favor to the United
States.
Kmma Goldman conversed with the
correspondent for a few minutes be
fore she trudged down the long path
to the train carrying part of, her bag

"Would you be willing to tell your
feelings on departing? Naturally my
emotions are conflicting. I am anx
ious about what is ahead in Russia,
but naturally 1 am leaving very much
behind in America."
She amazed the correspondent by
throwing her arms around his neck
and giving him a resounding kiss be
fore he could struggle away.
Details of trouble with the reds
while crossing have been disclosed
since the vessel arrived at Hango. but
the trouble was not of serious import.

BERLIX, Jan. 18. (By the Asso
ciated "Press.) The presence in Ber
lin of an American dipl matic repre
sentative, while Germany is not rep
resented in Washington, has created a
situation that evidently is perplexing
to tne w unetmstrasse. i-.ms u. juresei,
commissioner of the United States, ar
rived here Saturday and is domiciled
In the former American embassy
building.
It is not expected that Mr. Dresel
will present his credentials to the for
eign office. He has the rank of "gov
ernment commissioner." Outside of
an unofficial call by an attache, who
is personally acquainted with Mr.
Dresel, the government does not ex
pect for the time being to take cog
nizance of his presence in Berlin, al
though the Associated Press is in
formed that the government is pleased
to see the United States represented
in the re-established diplomatic col
ony.
In view of the very emphatic state
ment emanating from Washington to
the effect that the armistice condi
tions still are governing relations be
tween the two countries, the question
of a German representative has not
been discusseiF even to the extent of
hinting at a man probable for the
post, to which the government evi

BIG DIKE PROJECT URGED
Large Area on Sauvies Island May

ST. HELENS, Or., Jan. 18. (Spe

diking and reclaiming of Sauvies
island were taken Saturday when
number of property owners of the
island met at the chamber of com
lerce here to discuss plans and work
out details.
If the diking district is formed it
will affect about 25,000 acres of land
15,000 of which are in Multnomah
county and the balance in Columbia
county. Of the total close to 6000
acres are classed as "wet" land, being
covered with water a large part of
the year.
The dike would be 13 feet high and
31 miles in length, Sauvies island
being approximately 15 miles long.
The land is fertile but on account of
the overflow of the river, is not used
except for pasturage. If the dike is
built most of - the land will be re
claimed and farmed.

General Pershing epoke briefly
touching upon but a few major points.
He paid tribute to the men who
served under him, to the bravery and
efficiency of the Oregon troops, and
to the American Legion, lor wnicn
he bespoke the support of every pa
triotic citizen. Applause punctuated
his forceful, simply worded declara
tion. but redoubled applause answerea
him back, time and time again, when
he declared his stand for American
ism, the deportation of all aliens who
refuse to be assimilated or to learn
the language of their adopted country
and for universal military training.
We have had five great generals
in the history of the United States,
said Mayor Baker, in preliminary re
marks, "Washington, Grant, Sherman

through the ranks to the command of
the ereatest army in the history ol

"He Made tlood," la Int roduclion
Major Gilbert's introductory re
marks were an eloquent testimonial to
the force and sincerity of General
Pershing, to the devotion with which
the American troops answered h
command, and to the sincere and per
sonal Interest that the commander-in
chief took in the welfare of his men.
He made good!" exclaimed Major
Gilbert, to an accompaniment of en
thusiastic cheers.
"I consider it a rare privilege." said
General Pershing, "to have this op
portunity of saying a word to the
people of Portland with reference to
their part and our part in the war.
The American people take nat

were confronted with the war the

"No section of the country entered
into the spirit of this work with
greater energy and intelligence than
did the city of Portland and the sur

"But an army cannot wage a suc

alone. Behind your armies was the
patriotism of the people at home and
the determination to win at all costs.
The patriotism, the aggressiveness

depend upon the people and those
qualities are no greater in an army
than they are in the people rrom

I wish to impress upon you th

nient, of supporting the principles

class of men in this country."
General Pershing turned aside here
to say a word for the moral character
of the American overseas forces, who
upheld the honor of their nation by
living cleanly lives, though foreign
commanders laughed and ridiculed
the plans and confidence of General
Pershing and his staff in this respect.
- Soldiera' - High Ideala Lauded.
"We made regulations, of course,"
said General Pershing, "and we sur
rounded these men with every man
ner of safeguard possible. But, serv
ing in a country where temptation
was prevalent, it was in fact their
own high ideals that made it possible
for them to live the lives they did
live. The American army made a
record in the field for clean living
that has never been equaled in the
history of any army.
"They have organized the American
Legion," said General Pershing, with
forceful emphasis at another point.
"It stands for the highest ideals of
American citizenship, and I bespeak
for this organization the full support
of all citizens.
"Service in a 'mar like that we have
just finished, for a cause greater than
that for which men have" ever fought

"The men of the "American Legion

righteousness, Americanism, and all
those things we hold dear, and trans
mit them to posterity. They leave to
us a heritage such as the Grand Army

"It Is an organized propaganda. Are

sort of thing?
"No" the chorus of thousands an

"I .think not." added the general
dryly. "I think the time has come
for all patriotic people to take active
measures to start a counter-propaganda
and to endeavor to convert
these people and turn them from the
error of their ways.'
Schooling; of Allena Urged.
Here General Pershing made the
unequivocal statement that all aliens
should fit themselves for citizenship
by familiarizing themselves with our
language and our Institutions of gov-
eral. "They should be required to
do it. Why? Because they are under
the protection of our flag and have
sought homes in our country.
"Are we of this generation going
to sit Idly by and allow these parl-
sitic plants to grow up in our midst
without attempting to rout them
out?"
"No!" roared the audience again.
"Well, then," proposed, General Per

of that time they haven't complied

Organised Labor Defended.
General Pershing took up tfce gage
for labor, when he said that or
ganized labor had been libeled by re
ports that its Americanism was un
sound and that its ranks were soil
for the propagandist.
It is not so! he asserted with
emphasis. "The laboring people stood
behind this government during the
war and they'll stand by It again!"
In closing his address. General
Pershing gave to the Portland audi
ence his views of preparedness such
a system of military efficiency.
through universal training, as would
render America an instantaneously
formidable enemy and serve to keep
the peace.
"Preparedness for war means the
same thing to me that insurance on
your house means to you." said the
general. "Wars comes" whether you
wish them or not. How many of us
desired this last war? What I mean
by preparedness is that we should give
our young men a certain amount of
military training. The fact is that
during the- last war we had to send
some divisions into battle, divisions
that we thought had not had quite
enough training." "
Preparedneaa Idea Explained.
General Pershing paused reflective
ly, as though he saw again those
fields where American soldiers, handi
capped by ignorance of the game,
were going forwad to meet the picked
troops of Prussia.
"I hope," he said, "that it may never
again fall to the lot of an American
commander to send insufficiently
trained troops into battle.
"By preparedness I mean simply
that each man be given a brief train
ing and then returned to civil life. I
believe that we should organize our
industry and systems of transporta
tion so that they can easily be con
verted to national purpose in time of
conflict. That's- all I mean by pre
paredness." Concerning the reorganization of
the national guard units, 'which were
utilized to splendid effect in the world
war. General Pershing said:
"I bespeak an earnest consideration
of this question by ex-service men
and the people of this state, as I un
derstand there is a desire on the part
of the governor and others to reor
ganize the national guard. These
units did excellent service during the
war and the matter of reorganiza
tion should receive the consideration
of every thoughtful citizen.
Honae Riara to Pay Tribute.
In accepting this reception that
you have given to myself and staff,"
concluded General Pershing, "I do not
consider it for myself alone, but con
sider it an indication of the appreci
ation you have for the splendid serv
ice of the fine young manhood which
I had the honor to command."
The house rose in tribute again as
General Pershing closed his address
and cheered for several moments as
he signified his comradeship by mak
ing the gesture of handshaking, all

Mayor Baker announced that General

Bryan ' Says Profiteering
Should Affect Elections.
COAL OPERATORS RAPPED
Relation of Paramount Questions
to Presidential Kace Is Dis
cussed at Banquet.
NEW TOHK, Jan. IS. Profiteering
and public ownership were declared
tonight by William Jennings Bryan
to be two of the great issues on which
the coming presidential campaign
should be fought. Mr. Bryan, who
was a guest of honor at a dinner
given by the Society of Arts and
Sciences and attended by more than
900 persons, asserted that the peace
treaty cannot be carried into the
campaign because of the large num
ber of important questions to be de
cided. In reference to profiteering, which
he termed tho "darkest blot in this
war," the speaker advocated the crea
tion of trade ' commissions in the
states and communities before which
citizens could bring complaints against
profiteering merchants.
Coal Operator Denounced.
"While the boys bled abroad." he
said, "the American people were bled
at home by conscienceless profiteers.
Kven when the bleeding stopped
abroad it continued at home. The tax
records show how m:my more million
aires have been created in this coun
try." Mr. Bryan denounced the coal oper
ators for the excessive profits which
he said they had mafic last year and
declared that the people must be
given machinery by which to protect
themselves.
"The people cannot take a club."
he said. "The government that dis
arms its citizens must assume the
duty to protect them. There are
tribiyials" in this country where the
niercnant can summon his customer,
but no tribunal where a customer can
call a merchant to answer any com
plaint. Trade Commiaalona Vrged.
'What is needed are trade commis-
10ns for the nation and the states
nd in every community, where every
itizen, no matter how humble, can
ave his complaint hoard."
In regard to government ownership
Mr. Bryan declared that it had be
come a national issue. "All private
monopolies." he said, "are massing for
an assault to overthrow the right of
he people to attend to their- own
business. The issue today is between
private monopoly and government
ownership.
"I say that whenever competition
Is impossible in private monopoly the
monopoly must be owned by the gov
ernment. W hen private monopoly de
sires to control, it is in order to have
power to extort, plunder and rob. I
want to destroy the breeding place
of plutocracy. Private monopoly is
the greatest cause of plutocracy."
