IMMIGRA- One of the problems that has not yet developed into an actuality, but which the European war is forcing to the attention of Americans, is the prospect of an influx of Immigrants to this country when the fight shall have ended. America, always a star of hone to the oppressed of all lands, will be more than ever a desirable place when the war cloud shall have passed, leaving its burden of taxation, despoliation and depopulation. While it is probable that European govern menu will take such measures as they , may to prevent uny general ex odus, many think there is certain to lie a great horde poured upon this country and other countries like it, ' Addressing the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid society, at is meeting in New York recently, former Judge Leo Sanders, president of the society, voiced the phase of this as it applies to the Jews: "Owing to the conditions generated by the war Jewish immigration has greatly decreased. While we find no ground for .the rash and alarmist ut terances of those who proclaim that a vast horde of half starved immi grants will overflow this land when peace is concluded, we, nevertheless, realize that we shall soon have to face an unusual state of affairs. For the Jewg who are treated as the Pariahs of society in eastern Europe immi gration has become a necessity, which this year will intensify to a bitter point." Statistics collected by the same so ciety show that Jewish immigration to this country fell from 130,237 in 1913 to 66,557',last year. This is ex plained as due tothe tsoppage of Bel gian, German- and . Austrian steam ship lines.. But this repression can at best be ! only .". temporary. Common sense would indicate that it can only have the effect of ultimately heighten ing the tide of immigration when the channels of travel are again thrown open. This is the condition which the country must now consider and pre pare against, for it will be a very serious problem when it arrives. Down in Georgia they are making .shoes out of cotton.

Upon the road to Summerville - There sUuids a silent Ford, And stands, and stands, as autos will When their troubles are ignored. The driver swears, he swears like well, ; He , swears like drivers will, Till the air is blue to Alicel, And souls are shocked at Summer ville. , And then, when he has cussed, In every tongue but French, He gets him down into the dust - With a greasy monkey-wrench. And there begirt in a clean white shirt, He crawls beneath the car; And fills his eyes with oil and dirt But finds not where his troubles are; With patient toil he tests the coil And then he tries the spark; He tightens bolts, he gives her oil And works till nearly dark. From steering gear he goes to . Mag But finds no trouble there; Hi shirt's a rag, his spirits sag, He quits in grim despair. In sullen mood and language rude He rails upon the Lord, And wonders why He thought it good To make a man like Henry Ford. With cooler brain he starts again ' And overhauls the whole machine; When all at once the truth is plain He hasn't a drop of gasolipe! Now'ou and I may be Piohi, And averse to "tanking,'' very; And e'en deny the right when dry To take a little Sherry. But to be frank the Ford's a crank A crank for its potations; : ; And you can bank it has a tank, A tank for liquid rations. When the liquid flits the engine quits And the car goes on the "blink." Don't lose your wits in angry fits t, Just give your Ford a drink. Don't cuss the car but better far Give it some gas, my son; For if you don't the chances are That you're an ass, my son. -M.

"Gentlemen," wrote the German, "you asked us yesterday temporarily to suspend hostilities and to become friends during Christmns.Such a pro posal in the pnst would have been ac cepted with pleasure, but at the pres ent time, when we have clearly recog Inized England's real character, we re- iuse to maKe any such agn-ement.
