By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 20.—Still crusad- ing for “the new freedom,” 18-year-old Aurora d’Angelo today found herself back in jail for soap-box oratory in behalf of Sacco and Vanzettl. The flery young high school girl, who only a week ago went to a cell for leading a riotous @rotest parade against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, was arrested last night a moment after she ascended a soap box before a crowd of sympathizers and launched a tirade against society. Shouting defiance, the young girl flung at the officers: ““You coppers are big bums!” When a hand clasped her arm, she cried: “You never work, but I do. “What is vour occupation?” policeman asked. | "I have no occupation,” she hurled | back. the Hall Closed to Meeting. And then, with 18 other persons, eight of them women, she again went to jail, as the police nipped in the bud a growing radical demonstration. The disturbances began when a hall which had been rented for a meeting was closed to the sympathizers, fomenting numerous small meetings in | the neighborhood. It was at one of these that Aurora was exhorting when interrupted by officers. The police again were forced to resort to tear bombs to disperse the crowds, arresting most of the leaders with the young woman. The charges resulting from her previous arrest, disorderly conduct and inciting a riot, still are pending against Aurora and at her trial she said she would plead her own cause. She is preparing to become a law student. Employment Bureau Bombed. Aside from the protest meeting, the only other disturbance reported was a bomb explosion, attributed to Sacco- Vanzetti sympathizers, in a loop e plovment bureau. The damage was slight. Police were prepared for the situa- tion as it might develop, with 6,000 men held in reserve. (uards around the various public buildings were strengthened as precautionary meas- ures. U. S.

The speaker charged that the telegrams would prove that America had launched a world-wide propa- ganda campaign against “our fellow workers.” Warns of Reaction. Starr said he dreaded to think of what might happen if Sacco and Van- zetti are executed. “The execution of Sacco and Van- zetti will set free their souls and start 2 reaction in this world that will make the World War seem like a play- ground,” he declared. “Mother” Bloor, white haired and 65, called on “the workers” to organ- ize more strongly and thereby make effective use of their industrial and political powers. Only by such or- ganization, she said, can “the Fullers and the Coolidges” be defeated at the polls. Criticizing what she character- ized as “the brand of American justice being dispensed today,” she remarked that on the occasion of a recent visit to the Supreme Court she saw two jus tices sound asleep while a lawyer was arguing before them.

Theso dispatches, which have been added to the already éxtensive collec- tion of Grant manuscripts in the Li- brary, not only are valuable to stu- dents of the period but throw many sidelights on the character of the Union leader. Many of them have been published and others are found only buried in the enormous “Annals of the Rebellion”, the official history of the war published by Congress. Orders on Raid Revealed. Among these secret orders are those concerned with the devastation of Loudoun County, Va., in 1864, by a force of Sheridan’s Cavalry as a side issue to_their clean-up of the Shen-; andoah Valley. The Loudoun County campaign was carried on generally to deprive the Confederates of a rich source of food supply and specifically to destroy Mosby's Raiders, which were like a hive of sps_ in_the hills, stinging the defenses of Waskh- ington. In the order to Sheridan from Grant's headquarters at Point, Va., August 16, 1864, the alry leader is instructed thus: “If y can possibly spare a division of Cav- alry send them through Loudoun County either to destroy or v off, crops, animals, negroes anl all mer under 50 years of age capuble of bear- ing arms. _In this way you will get many of Mosby's men. All male citizens under 50 can fairly be held as prisoners of war and not as citl- zen prisoners. If not already soldlers they will be so the moment the rebel army gets hold of them.” Orders Suspects Hanged. Two days later he informs Sheridan: “The familles of most of Mosby’'s men are known and can be collected. I think they should be taken and kept at Fort McHenry or some such place as hostages for the good conduct of Mosby and his men. When any of them are caught with nothing to des- ignate what they are, hang them without trial.” issued Cit. His order to Sheridan on August 21 read: “In stripping Loudoun County of supplies please record all loyal persons so that they may recefve pay for what is taken from them. I am informed by the Assistant Secretary of War that Loudoun County has & considerable population of Quakers who favor the Union and should be exempt from confiscation.” A few days later he informs Sherl- dan: “I have ordered detailed to you Pyt Pennsylvania Volunteers.

Grant insists that such an agreement would not be practicable but advises Lincoln to promulgate such an order to apply to the Northern Army alone and then take steps to see that the text of this order fell into the hands of Confederates, in the hope that would follow its example. An agreement, he would be almost certain to be broken by both sides and eventually would only make the arson situation worse.

CAMP HUMPHREYS, Va., August 20.—Inspections of barracks, arms and equipment by the battalion commander today gave the members of the 121st | Regiment of Engineers, National Guard of the District of Columbia, well earned rests from their laborious tasks in the fleld in_which they have engaged since last Monday morning. After this routine, which required practically the entire morning, was over, the troops were given passes to leave the camp until tomorrow after- noon, when they must return in time for the regimental parade. The troops arose at their usual early hour today and after a close- quarters drill. on the parade ground returned to their barracks to arrange their bunks and equipment for the in- spection officers. A week has made great transformations in the men, nc- cording to their officers, who pointed out that they have quickly attained a military bearing. Expect Guests Tomorrow. All of them are making preparations for the reception which they will hold tomorrow for their friends and rela- tives, and many of them expect guests who will eat the Army fare which is being prepared for the troops. A large number of visitors are expected in the camp and the troops were husy cleaning up their uniforms to look their finest when they appear at the regimental parade. The inspection this morning indi- cated to the officers that the majority of the men have learned well to per- form their duties in the field, where they do not have all the comforts of home for taking care of their personal equipment. Officers Advise Men. The men were given .lectures by their officers, particularly on how to take care of themselves while in camp, and it was impressed upon them that one of the requisites of a good soldier is te appear spruce at all times. Following the morning inspection most of the men remained in their bar- racks until after lunch when there was 2 general exodus for either their homes in Washington or for the base ball game. The game between the Ist and 2d Battalion teams, which W not finished last Wednesday on ac- count of the rain, will be played this afternoon, to be followed immediately by another game betwen the losing team in the first match and the Medi- cal detachment of the regiment.

EW YORK POLICE ON EXTRA DUTY Emergency Measures Again Taken—Meeting Monday to Be Closely Watched. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 20— York's entire force of 14,000 police- men, ordered out when word reached here of the Massachusetts Supreme Court's decision adverse to Sacco and Vanzetti, were back on emergency duty today for their vigil against pos- sible disorder. Al sub; and elevated stations, public and semi-public buildings, all bridges over the East River, resi- dences of officials and prominent per- sons, were again under heavy guard. The precautions are similar to those taken last week following the explo- sion of two hombs in subway stations. The emergency order issued by Poice Commissioner Warren tempo- rarily canceled all vacations. In the detective division, n8 man will be per- mitted off duty at any time. All will be obliged to sleep at station houses. | Meeting to Be Watched. pecial arrangements are heing made for the demonstration called by the Communist Sacco-Vanzelti emer- gency committee in Union Square Monday afternoon. More than 1,000 police, it is planned, will be at the scene and 1,000 in reserve in neighborhood. people is predicted by leaders of the committee, As a general precaution, a’d men will be kept in reserve in each stationhouse ready to rush to any point where mneeded, Commissioner Warren stated. *“We have plenty of men to take care of any emergency,” he declared. Sympathizers of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in foreign coun- tries, who were aroused a fortnight ago by Gov. Fuller's decision not to pardon the condemned men or grant them a new trial, have been stirred anew by the Massachusetts Supreme Court’s rejection of their appeal. In Berlin a crowd of Communists gathered for a demonstration before the American embassy late last night and the police had to use blackjacks to disperse them. At three Commu- nist demonstrations in other parts of the city resolutions were adopted de- manding the immediate release of the two men. Posters were displayed by the Communists accusing the German bourgeoisie of playing the game of “American murder-justice.” They also urge the German proletariat to “strike a blow” for the condemned men. A number of the newspapers condemned the court's decision in no uncertain language. New Strike Planned. Gov. Fuller's decision was followed in Argentina by a series of strikes and demonstrations, and now the workers of the Argentina Regional Confedera- tion of Labor have been called upon to stage another strike Monday unless Sacco and Vanzetti are saved from execution. There is to be a manifes- tation Sunday of the Syndical Union, with the likelihood that this organiza- tion will sound the call for a strike of its members Monday. Police are keep- ing a close guard on American institu- tions. Several thousand persons paraded through the chief thoroughfares of Brest, France, when the news came from Massachusetts. The demonstra- tors were orderly and the police did not have to intervene. The guards about the American em- bassy in Paris were augmented by order ‘of the police prefect to prevent untoward incidents by sympathizers of the condemned men. The Italian and Spanish embassies are also heav- ily guarded. There is bitter comment on the decision by the Paris papers which have radical tendencies. Typi- cal of the comment is the remark of Le Soir, “It is not justice, but just plain murder.” This paper asks the members of the American Legion now in France to hear the “appeal of this entire country that this sreatest in- justice be not consumynated.” Film Ban Urged. At the largest hall in Geneva last night 3,000 persons gave approval to a message to be sent to Boston de- manding the release of Sacco and Vanzetti. They voted to name a com- mittee to carry on propaganda for boycotting American products, espe- ciafly films. It is reported that three attempts have been made in Geneva to damage American films. Newspapers of all political affilia- tions in London express regret over the decision_of the Massachusetts court. The Laborite Daily Herald is strong In its denunciation and calls upon the workers to give every sup- port to the mass meeting to be staged in Hyde Park Sunday. This paper prints comment against the execution by H. G. Wells and such labor leaders as Arthur Hender- son, John R. Clynes, Herbert Smith and Ben Tillett.
