RED DEPORTATIONS BREED RADICALS, WRITES DECLARES Nw Tork Tribune. Deportation of radicals and similar repressive methods breed revolutionists, Arthur Gleasoa declared yesterday in aa address oa "Industrial Reconstruction in England" before the .Ethical Culture Society. Great Brita.n had no revoln tionary party, he went on, because it had abstained from such measures, re lying oa the sound seree of its people. "If England had used deportation or other methods of repression, Mr. Olea son aaid, "they would have developed a. revolutionary party. Conspiracy, which implies in its very name a whis pering in dark places, caj only be te stroytd by freedom of speech. The spirit of violene is created by deports tion ana Jail sentence, and th urn ih government haa relied oa the judg ment and sense of humor of the people rather than upon the force of the law ia the adjustment of the social unrest.

He said the peo pleaof England are aow convinced the World War did not accomplish the pur poses for which . it was fought, at it has not ended all war nor given the world a better England, or a better Europe. The Lngush people, who nave been convinced of tbe futility of the violence of war, be continued, are equally cer. tain of ita in efficacy in the solution of the problem of reconstruction, and can not understand the report of deporta tion and denial of th right of rep resentation thst come to tbein from the- L'nited States. " There ara four reasons why theN no revolutionary" party in England, Mr. Qleason said. "First, because every one is allowed to say what he wishes; seeond, because all meetings, no matter how radical, ara allowed by the gov ernment; third, because leaders with advanced ideas aro put in the moat responsible positions; and. fourth, be cause it is granted that the right of the Oppoaition ia equal to that of the gov ernment. "In England today all the political paaties are crumbling away, and until new parties can be formed government will bo by groups. Air.

At that time th only way the people of Fayettevill and the country beyond had to reach th Wilmington and Wcl doa railroad, their on real connection to th north, waa to go down th Cape Fear to Wilmington or by stag tc Warsaw. Th eonsequcne waa there wr mora passengers than on not knowing thia might expect, and th eom ing of the coach was th event oi th day. And to tell th truth, the produce mor excitement , than any thing that hnppeaa her today.
