That was long ago, yet a recent event when viewed through the eye of history. It is fascinating to tuink of conditions in those days and of the marvelous transfor mation that has occurred The Pilgrims came to the new world to obtain something that may now be had without the asking in most all lands re ligious freedom. But they did not intend to land at Plymouth. Some historians say they meant to land in Delaware bay. Others assert they had intention of locating on the Hudson river with or near the Dutch settlement on Manhattan island. But the Mayflower reached the bleak Ne v England coast and the Pil grims stoutly accepted what they found before them. They hfld on in spite of terrific hardships during the first winter and their colony soon began to grow. Others followed them across the seas and Massachusetts colony came into being. The early Pilgrims were deeply religious, and today they would be considered fanatical, but three hundred years ago they represented liberal thought The Bible had but recently come jnio me nanas ot tne laity ami trie Fiigrims toolc it literally. Among the capital offenses listed in the early laws of Plymouth' was "communion with the Devil." In their dealings with the Indians the Pilgrims aimed to be just but they were likewise cautious and stern when they believ ed it necessary. They practiced preparedness and were not above killing a few Indians when the occasion called for it. Miles Standish was commander of the militarv. He had served as a soldier in Spain and knew the effects of gunpowder. Doubtless Miles Standish and his little company had considerable to do with the fact the Plymouth settlement endured. The Pil prims were likewise fortunate in the fact an epidemic had killed off most oi tne Indians ot tnat region, thus leaving the country tne more open to white settlement. The Pilgrims have been both overestimated and underesti mated. They were, however, well adapted to their mission. For hardy heroism and devotion to their convictions they have had few equals. They likewise. had much practical sense and judg ment and on top of that staying qualities They did not turn back although they could have done so when the Mayflower re turned to England in the spring or on various subsequent occa sions. America can always be proud of the Pilgrims. ... ...j. .......

Large immigrants from Europe are going to California, according to W. I. Black, passenger traffic manager of the Sante Fe System, He said they are mostly aliens who returned jo Europe to fight for their country. "The California bound Immigrants are mostly French, Italian and Greek, who ore very good argrlculturallsts and find In the vineyards and or chards of California the best oppor tunity for the'r abilities," Mr. Black sold. "Now that the war is over, most of them are coming back and they are furnishing California with the largest stream of Immigration I think It has ever had. This has been going on the I some six months and Increasing slowly I believe they average between 600 and 750 a month." Th Immigrant tralni that used to bo run to Chicago before the war have not been resumed, Mr. Black said. One reason he said that there were not enough Immigrants . to Justify them, and another reason that th Pullman tourist car was taking their place.
