A resolution to restore the rights of citizenship to approximately 1, 500 men and women who were con victed under the war-time espion age act for utterances disapproving the war was introduced in the House today by Representative Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin. The bill re quests the president to proclaim a full pardon and amnesty, with res toration of all civil rights, to all per sons who, during the late war, "were convicted of utterances in speech or writing deemed to be prejudicial to the conduct of the war, or of con spiracies to violate war laws in which no acts of violence were in volved.” In a statement he issued, Con gressmen Berger said: "It is a sad commentary on the state of our public opinion that after all other countries engaged in the World war have not only discontin ued punishing their wartime dis senters but have restored to them their rights, the United States still punishes those who did not believe that it should have entered the war, and who gave expression to their be liefs by the written and spoken word. "In England. 23 men convicted for their opposition to the war are members of the house of commons, and one of the leading opponents of the war, whose activities brought him to the verge of a prison sen tence. Ramsay MacDonald, has since been a prime minister, and is likely to be one again. The feeling that the war was a collosal blunder, and that those who were opposed to it, were the nations’ most loyal citi zens. has grown everywhere, except in the United States, which had least reason of all to enter it. '“Not one of the 1,500 men and wo men convicted under the espionage act had committed an act of vio lence. In speeches and in writings, they declared their skepticism about the war being one to end war, and that democracy would be saved for the world by reason of it. Their skepticism has been found to have been justified, but instead of recog nizing that to be true, they are still denied the right to vote, to hold of fice, or to serve on juries, because they have been convicted under the espionage act. “The issuing of a general procla mation of amnesty was followed af ter the Civil war. I propose that it be followed now. History will look upon such an act of justice as It does now upon the efforts that were made to heal the wounds of the Civil war.” "Big Bill” Didn’t Fit Helen Calista Wilson and Elsie Reed Mitchell, in Asia Magazine. Big Bill Haywood, for whom the Russian government had been try ing to find suitable occupation ev er since he had jumped his bail in the United States and gone to Rus sia, was made a general manager for Kemerovo, and our troubles be gan. Haywood’s undeniable success in pointing out the many ways in which the industrial system is all wrong had seemed convincing evi dence that he was the very one to set it right and in his appointment as manager in Kemerovo there was a certain quality of dramatic fit ness, sepecially since so many members of the first groups were I. W. W. But he had neither the experience nor the professional training to organize so intricate and technical an enterprise. The temperament that makes a good agitator generally makes a poor ex ecutive—a fact which the soviet government has proved to its cost many times ever since the revolu tion. As general manager Hay wood was a failure. His career in Kemerovo was short. The crowd liked him and always remembered him with affection, but he was auite unable to cope with the un expectedly complicated and diffi cult situation found there by the arriving groups. Big Bill Haywood died not a Identity of Adopted Child From New York World. We had occasion some time ago to speak of the misery that is caused by the practice that seems to be prevalent in connection with the adoption of children. This is the concealment, on the part of the or phanages and other such institu tions, of information as to the child’s origin, the idea being that its rearing is made simpler if all bridges are burned behind it. Now the dispatches tell of a case where this has worked the most fantastic hardship. Ralph P. Heard 41 years old. a prominent archi tect if Boston, was adopted out of Revision of Army Promotion List to Correct Injustices From Washington Times. On the calendar of the present congress are two measures, known as the Black bill In the Senate and the Wainwright-McSwain bill in the House, which provide for the revision of the army promotion list to correct injustices done certain groups of World war emergency of ficers now in the regular army. These injustices were caused by a war department interpretation which, in effect, ignored the grades of captain, first or second lieu tenants for which these officers had been recommended by examin ing boards and "scrambled” them together indiscriminately solely in accordance with length of commissioned service. Both military affairs committees of congress, by their favorable action in reporting out the legislation, are agreed that the present •arrangement is wrong, and the Times is in complete accord with sv.ch views. The clause in question read that "captains and lieutenants shall be aranged in accordance with length of commissioned service," and, as Maj. Gen. Peter C. Harris, former adjutant general of the army, testified, this was generally understood to mean that captains would be placed among captains, first lieutenants among first lieutenants and second lieutenants among second lieutenants. Such was the meth od used in placing the colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors ap pointed as a result of the examinations, but the war department did not follow that procedure in the lower grades. By its ruling men found qualified for no grade higher than sec ond lieutenant were, if they had one day’s more service, moved ahead of others who had been found qualified for appointment as captains, and these second lieutenants were then immediately promoted to cap tains and took rank above the original captains. Why the war department made such a ruling is now immaterial, but the fact remains that with the present list every regular officer has a chance to be retired as a colonel, while less than 450 of the more than 2,500 former emergency officers in the lower grades have this opportunity. Likewise the questioned interpretation enabled the sud den elevation of over 1,000 regular army first lieutenants to the grade of captain and the placing of them ahead of hundreds of emergency officers appointed captains. This is particularly unfair, as these reg ular lieutenants average about 10 years younger than the emergency captains and therefore will forever act as a block on promotion. Of course, such an interpertation. general in its terms included in its results some emergency officers who profited equally with the reg ulars at the expense of their emergency brethren, but the records show them to be in the minority. The House military committee is convinced that ‘‘a grave injustice '•was done and that a correction of this error can disturb no vested rights;” further, that "the obvious remedy is to place officers on the promotion list as they should have been placed in 1920-21.” This is the viewpoint of Representative Frank James, a recognized impartial expert on military matters, who stated that he never thought the law could be interpreted as it was. great while ago in Moscow, a pen sioner of the Russian government— a not unromantic ending to an ad venturous career. His last years were spent in the Lux hotel, a splendid building on one of Mos cow's main streets, formerly, as its name indicates, a fashionable hos telry. It is now used as living, quarters for those connected, with the Comintern—the communist international. Here, among a sin gularly interesting and varied group of people gathered from all quarters of the globe, Haywood had a room with a balcony over tl.e street. When he was not occu pied with writing his memoirs he used to sit there during the long summer days watching the cosmo politan life of Mosciw flow by May day parades, red army regi ments, election day crowds. Q. How many Mohammedans are there in Paris? M. H. A. It Is said that Paris is to be the established center of the Mus sulman world. The Mohammedan mosque, which was erected last year, is the mecca of 50,000 resident Al gerians, Tunisians, and Moroccans besides numerous other coreligion ists of Egypt, Turkey, Persia, and India, traveling in France. an orphan asylum by a family liv ing in Weston, Mass. When he was 21 years old the adoption was made legal. He served 22 months in the war as a lieutenant with the Amer ican army in Fiance, and certainly would be regarded by most of us as an American citizen. Yet now, when he wants to go abroad, the state department will not issue him a passport because he is unable to furnish documentary evidence of his birth. Moreover, it develops that he he has tried to find this documentary evidence for some 20 years, employing expensive lawyers to aid him in the search B"t so f*r Treated Like a Pupil Lilli Lehmann, famous operatic j artisl, achieved a great reputation as ! a singing teacher after her retire : mont from the stage.
