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.

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.
