Successful Raids in New York Add to Prisoners Held For Deportation
New York, Jan. 6—Pursuing a policy of trailing individuals and searching out secret meeting places of allied Reda, Department of Justice op-ed articles, said that more than fifty prisoners to the list of those being held for deportation hearings. Included in this number was the executive secretary of the New York State Communities party who had been hiding under the name of Smith.
Federal agents in the districts along the Canadian and Mexican borders have been instructed to guard the border and prevent the escape of any of the radicals.
The force of the bureau is lacking in number of immigration inspectors and the legal force is not sufficient, officials explained. The problem of prison facilities for such large numbers must also be faced.
Washington, Jan. 6—Anthony Cannetti, commissioner general of immigration, appeared before the appropriations committee of the House of Representatives asking for further funds to allow his bureau to cope more adequately with the problem of the deportation proceedings.
ENGLAND DISTRUSTSU.S
British Publisher's Wife Says American Attitude Toward Peace Disturbs Britain
England fears that the United States is trying to break the peace compact, according to a letter received by a faculty member from Mrs. Terry Dodge, an English glish publisher. Torn by labor troubles and profeerling, and disappointed with the American attitude, England seems discouraged with the outcome of the war from which it hoped to conclude peace, among men enmenchein, Her letter in part reads:
"We are very bruised and battered in poor old England and many of us the poorer in purse as well as in hopefulness in our outlook on life. Not only labor troubles but profiling in many trades, the owering of ideas, the growing discontent with us so much, might have at least left us ruder and purer in the nation's life, is a terrible disappointment to many. Now we are troubled especially over your Senate's attitude toward the "League of Nations." America seemed at last to throw herself into battle without one selfish thought without one selfish thought as a nation, and now it seems as though she were trying her best to break the peace. Perhaps if Mr. Wilson had carried Senator Lodge and Mr. Root and Mr. Taft and some others with him to the peace conference, they would have seen more eyes open than they did. Of course, do not understand American politics. We only know that the things ook very unsettled again."

K. U. Senate Exposed In Atlantic Story (continued from page 1)
"Perhaps the committee can tell us. 'The committee had no information about the parentage of Mr. Collins. Another silence. A man with a mouth like a steel trap and a for-Gods' sake-let-us-get-on" manner, snapped out, "I move that Mr. Collins' request be denied."
"An old gentleman rose. His air of difference was at once pathetic and lovable. He spoke in the tone of one who does not expect anyone to pay any attention to what he says, but wants it determined, for sure's sake to say it.
"Mr. Chairman, I think it is hardly fair that Mr. Collins should be penalized in this way. I knew him well. He was in my class in mathematics and physics, and I took part in the unanimous chair. His father, as it happens is Judge Collins of Cleveland, a graduate of ours in the class of 78. I think we should look into his case very carefully before confronting him with any questions we might later regret. Of course, I do not want to do or say anything which will not comm目 itself to the faculty or to the Committee on Degrees, but still as I say, I will not admit that he ended in the middle of a sentence and sat down.
"The Motion!" snapped the steel trap.
"The motion before the faculty is that Mr. Collin's request be not granted. Is there a second?"
"It then appeared that there had been a second, but his contribution had not been heard. Garbed in formal decency, the motion was again set up for contemplation. A serious lockup man forestalled the imminent
"Mr. Chairman, before we act on this matter, should we not have some principle to guide us? Are we prepared to go on record as approving of the reading of French newspapers as counting toward the degree?"
"The Committee, on being pressed to fulminate a principle, confessed that they had none, but preferred to deal with each case on its merits. They felt however that the case of Mr. Collins presents an argument that they would prefer, as hey had said, to be guided by the judgment of the faculty.
"The collective wisdom of the faculty was still to seek, and the member who had pressed for a principle crossed his legs and settled back hopelessly into his chair. There was an awkward silence. The older men relapsed when they realized that their years have been expected to waste their time and their intelligence on such matters. The younger, including myself, were shy of speech, and looked expectantly for something to happen.
“‘Are you ready for the question?’
asked the chairman.
"The thought of actually having to come to a decision struck a chill of horror to the heart of a conservative in the back of the room. 'Mr. Chairman,' he said slowly, 'I should like to know, before we settle matters, the feeling of the committee themselves is. What do they recommend?'"
"The committee have already said that they have been unable to agree on any recommendation," said the chairwoman with a touch of pardonable security.
"Then, with an air of putting away things at once tedious and frivolous and coming to the real business of the afternoon, the chairman announced that we would continue from the preceeding meeting the discussion of the proposed new courses in the science of business.
"Oh, I am sorry; I didn't know," murmured the victim; and began to whisper to his neighbor what he really thought of the rough-and-ready methods of the chairman. He seemed to be under the impression that he opened up a new and promising line. "I was just thinking last disposed of," together with a few less grave and complicated matters concerned with degrees.
"Heavy lethany brooded over the company. One no seemed capable of initiating a discussion of anything. A gloom was settling down upon the minds of all of us, as outside it was gathering about the trees on the canopy and tipped to the door with the look of a hunted criminal; but his heart within him was a dancing star. The less courageous followed him with eyes of envy. I suddenly had a vision of excavations being carried on here thousands of miles in our antique civilization would come upon the room and the members sitting just as they were, mummified, and still waiting for something to happen. The secretary would be frozen in an attitude of resigned dispair. From there would still be dozing, with the peace of the ineffable upon his face; the chairman would still be grazing out upon us with that
"I was awakened by a speaker whose quiet competent tones were evidence that he was immune from the spell.
frown of perplexity; all of us paralyzed by the baneful influence of a system which nullified intelligence and good-will and set a premium on human weakness. The whole situation became dream-like.
"I thought we had settled that last time, Mr. Chairman. As I understand it, we voted to include the science of business among the subjects leading to the degree, and today we were to hear a discussion about the nature of the course and the amount of credit to be assigned to it.'
"The chairman looked puzzled. While he was still trying to formulate a reply, he was interrupted by a voice saying, in mingled surprise, pain, and indignation, 'Mr. Chairman, that was certainly not my understanding of our action. I was under the impression that we were simply stating our desire that the committee should draw up a scheme of investigation, and we have voted for it if I had thought that we were committing ourselves irrevercably to business science as part of the curriculum.'
"These remarks created a mild con-
sternation. Here was the faculty con-
gratulating itself upon actually having done something last time, only to be faced with the awful problem of discovering what the devil it had done.
"An elderly supercilious-looking man, with an air of caressiness and as if for one who was in possession of the greatest fortitude she were too much, made a show
There was a moment of silence during which we copitated upon the pregnant possibilities of that vote. Then the gentleman who knew Mr. Collin's father asked the opportunity to share what he perhaps left long meditated.
"The secretary read from the minutes: 'Voted to refer to the Committee on the Curriculum the question of the amount of credit to be given to courses in the science of business. I would help us much,' muttered the chairman."
of coming to the rescue, 'Perhaps the secretary can enlighten us.'
"He passed to clear his throat. In imagination one could see him taking the orator's sip of water.
"I don't know, Mr. Chairman, whether it is proper for me to say what I am going to say or not; but I cannot help feeling, and I feel that the faculty will feel in I feel, but, as I say, I am rather confident to go very carefully in this matter. Aren't we really rather in danger of rushing things and taking precipitate action which we may subsequently reject? Or course, I realize that the matter is urgent, and I do not wish for a moment to construct the framework ahead with this matter; but nevertheless we should exercise caution and study the proposal in all its bearings before rushling into a course of action which, as I say, although I would not be thought to be resisting an innovation, if that would result in a later mature consideration of the matter from all sides and in every angle and light."
"My neighbor groused.

"He was. He went. He spoke for ten minutes. For five of these he was in favor of instruction in the science of business, and for five against. But he was against it, and about his final verdict. He closed his magnificent career of irrelevance by bringing forth a treasure of conservative wisdom. 'But finally', Mr. Chairman, I cannot conceal from my readers that this is, after all, a change.
'I think it's immense. I wouldn't miss a word. He's going on.'
"While we were still turning this jewel of thought so that the light might catch it on all its faeces, a business-like voice broke in: 'Mr. Chairman, may we have the vote read out' and forgotten the exact word of it."
“This was the moment when a malign, or rather a beneficient, voice within me whispered, ‘What is the value of all this to the community?’”
“A pause. Then, ‘And you needn't be superior. What have you contributed to the discussion?’ Nothing but sneers and profitless criticism. A little humility, my son, a little humility.’
"That punctured me. But the owner of the voice must have taken pity on my crescentfallen form, for, after a few moments, it spoke again, very seductively—this was in the Good Book." "Don't you think you need a drink?"
"Gentle reader, if you are still gentle, what would you have done? Remember, I was sitting near the door—I am glad to see that we agree I did not even stay to consult my help. I beat it."
