HOW WAR
AFFECTS
TION.
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.

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.

tandon, Mar. 25. (By mail to New

Anglo-German battle front . where
there was no fhristmns tniM A Inf.
iter written by a German officer to
tne British battalion occupying that
particular line, a copy of which has
just reached London 'from the offi
cer who received it, explains the
reason.
"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.
"Although we do not doubt that
you are men of honor, yet every feel
ing of ours revolts against any
friendly intercourse toward the sub
jects of a nation whicl for years has,
in underhanded ways, sought the
friendship of all other nation?, so
that with their help they might an
annihililate us; a nation also which
while professing Christianity, is not
ashamed to use dum-dum bullets;
and whose greatest pleasure would be
to see the' political disappearance and
social eclipse of Germany.
' "Gentlemen, you are not, it is
true, the responsible leaders of En
glish politics, and social e.'lipse of
Germany.

politics, and so arc not dirccllv re-
