New York. Twelve steamships,
bearing 11,482 passengers, of whom
more than 6000 were steerage, and
9748 immigrants, entered New York
port Sunday morning in a spectacular
rush to take advantage of the new
immigration quota and gave Ellis is
land authorities the hardest July 1
in recent years. Because of the rush,
Major Henry Curran, newly appoint
ed immigration commissioner on Ellis
island, permitted only 20C7 of the
aliens to be landed at Ellis island dur
ing the day. Of these 1660 were ad
mitted. A new lot was landed early
Sunday night.
It was the start of the new immi
gration year and shortly before mid
night 11 ocean liners with full steam
up lay outside the harbor, ready to
dash up New York bay, pass through
tho narrows and cross the imaginary
finish line at quarantine in the annual
mmigrant race. On board four of
these vessels were aliens from Greece,
Asiatic countries whose quota for the
month is so small as to make speed
necessary to escape exclusion. The
number of Greeks arriving far exceed
ed the quota for that country.
Three years ago, when the restric
tive immigration laws first became ef
fective, the boardinir division of the
mmigratlon service in the harbor
numbered 40 inspectors. Today be
cause of appropriation cuts, Commis
sioner Curran has but 30 vessel-board
ing inspectors, and this force augment
ed in the early hours of the rush by
four inspectors from Brooklyn, examin
ed the 6000 immigrants before sun
down. Ten physicians from the United
States health service, under command
of Major J. Corput, aided in passing
physically perfect aliens.
The Ellis island authorities actual
r belli 15,582 persons to examine.
Of these, 4100 were members of crews
of the 12 ships arriving that docked.
1 he ship which won the race to
quarantine, the Washington, of the
Iiooras (Greek) line, flying the Amer
ican flag, but in the Greek trade, was
not one of the four permitted to land
passengers.
After the 1660 were passed and
ferried to waiting relatives or friends
at the Battery, additional aliens were
permitted to be landed at Ellis island
and every one of the 1500 beds there
was occupied.
"The rest will bo kept on the boats
on which they arrived until we are
ready for them," said the commisslon-

Uncle Sam's Mechanical Ele
phants Stage Show for
Staff College Students.
Washington. Uncle Sam's herd of
mechanical elephants recently showed
off at the army tank school. Camp
Meade, Md., in a demonstration put
on for the benefit of some seventy of
ficers and Instructors from the staff
school at the army war college.
Half a dozen of the huge, lumber
ing "Mark VIII" giant tanks devel
oped during the war, but too late
to share in the fighting, and a whole
flock of the six-ton French type which
did get into action participated In the
show.
The demonstration is one of the
series of educational exhibits for the
staff college students, all of whom are
experienced officers whose military in
struction is being rounded out to in
sure an adequate supply of general
officers and men with general staff
qualifications.
Tear Down Trees.
To Introduce the student officers to
the possibilities of modern tank war
fare, Col. S. D. Itockenbnch, com
mandant, of the tank corps and school,
sent two of his huge 40-ton "Mark
VOT' monsters skirmishing through
the heavy woods on either side of a
narrow roadway. When the signal to
advance was given, the land battle
ships surged forward reslstlessly,
tearing great swaths as they passed,
as though twin, narrow gauge cy
clones had cut parallel paths of wreck
age through the woodland. Towering
trees went down before them like
reeds, the tanks grinding them re
morselessly under the steel-shod run
ners. At times each tank was knock
ing over half a dozen trees at the
same time, literally rooting them from
the earth and lumbering forward over
prostrate trunks a foot or more in
diameter. The sheer power of the
geared liberty engines overcame every
obstacle of ditch or bank or brush or
tree clump, and not an Inch to right
or left from the selected course were
the monsters forced to swerve.
Later a miniature tank attack was
delivered over the rough, sandy field
that Is the playground of the school
herd. Thre "Mark VHTs" led the
drive, their stx-pourider guns roaring
and machine guns snarling as they
crept forward behind n smoke bar
rage hurled from their gnns. They
looked like crawling dragons, breath
ing smoke and flame as they shoul
dered their way over ditches and sand
dunes to disappear over a ridge be
yond In clouds of dust and spouts of
flying debris flung up from land mines
that gave a realistic battle picture.
Little Fellows In Wake.
Behind the big fellows came a far
flung line of the little slx-tonners,
spitting with machine gun and one
pounder fire. A dozen or more of the
two-man tanks made up this line.
Colonel Roekenhneh explained to the
visiting officers that what they had
seen thus far were tanks developed
during the war. He recalled that In
the first requisition from General
Pershing for tank equipment, the call
had come for the elements which
would make up a land fleet, the fight
ing tanks with auxiliary equipment of
cross country, rough-going machines
to bring up the artillery nnd supplies.
Since the war, he added, some prog
ress toward filling that requisition
had been made.
At a signal the new type, the 15-ton
"medium tank" of the future, charged
out Into the rough field. It fairly
raced over humps and hummocks at
a 12-mile gait, twisting and turning
like a motorboat. Behind It came a
"seventy-five" gun riding n similar
mechanism and plunging about the
field at high speed regardless of holes
or ditches. It traveled with equal
speed In either direction. Behind
these two came the cross-country
truck for ammunition, gusollne, oil and
supplies. These three, Colonel Rock
enbacb said, were the beginnings of
the American land fleet that would
play a great role In any future war.
None of them was perfected as yet,
he added, but within them were the
elements of a new day in battle when
machines would take more of the bur
den from the fighting men.
Says 49,000 Lives Can Be
Saved in U. S. Yearly
Louisville It Is possible to reduce
the number of deaths from industrial
accidents at least 80 per cent; to re
duce the number of deaths from auto
mobile, railroad and street car acci
dents by at least 00 per cent, nnd to re
duce the number of deaths from acci

Thrs statement was made here by C.

SYear01d Girl
Mascot of Ship
Sea Captain's Daughter Has
Crossed Pacific Twice and Is
Master of Geography.
San Francisco, Cal. Suppose you
were a little girl five years old, and you
lived in a small apartment, nicely fur
nished though a little crowded, with
your mother and futher, and suppose
that when you walked out of the front
door you found yourself on the long,
narrow deck of a ship, with clouds and
clouds of white canvass overhead, and
nothing, as far as the eye could reach,
but the sea.
Suppose that Instead of learning to
play tug and hop scotch you learned
how to box the compass and knew
every line and rope and stay and sail
and piece of rigging on a ship ; that In
stead of entertaining yourself with doll
house and playing grownup and going
to kindergarten you were amused by
being tuught the difference between a
skys'l and a tops'l, a spanker and a Jib,
a brlgantine and a bark.
Suppose you were a little sailor lass,
daughter of a ship captain and grand
daughter of a master and owner of
ships, born within sight of the sea, and
never out of sight of it and most of
your life upon It.
If you were all these things you
would be exactly like Margaret Ster
ling, mascot, favorite, tyrant, pet and
plaything of the ship E. It. Sterling,
the largest six-masted bnrkentlne In
the world.
Father Is Captain.
Margarets futher is Capt. It. M.
Sterling, master of the big barkentlne,
who is, in turn, son of Capt. E. R. Ste
mils. iuuiiuiuituiiu(j owner or the ves
sel and one of the unusual and pic
turesque men of the sea.

Margaret has been twice ncross the
Pacific, and into and out of most of
the ports of the South seas. She
knows more about geography than the
average college graduate, in short,
Margaret Is a daughter of the sea.
The whole family Is p remarkable
and Interesting one. Captain Sterling
might have stepped right out of one of
Peter B. Kyne's "Cappy Ricks" stories,
for every minute of his life Is full of
the sort of modern sen business of
which Kyne writes so interestingly.
His son, Capt. Ray Sterling, would
have come from one of Joseph Con
rad's tales. He might have been the
young master In the story called
"Youth." He Is quiet, reserved, solidly
built, clear-eyed, capable, thoughtful
and a master seaman.
His wlte, Margaret's mother, might
have come out of a novel by Kath
leen Norrls or by Willing McFie. She
Is too pretty for any possible ship
master's wife; she is a gracious hos
tess, a pleasant, well read, cultured
quiet voiced little Australian girl, full
of fun and Jokes, an ideal mother and
an unusual wife. Her romance with
the silent, grave, strong young Captain
Sterling Is a story by Itself. She was
one of the belles of Australia before
her marriage, and it is safe to assume
that the captain's luck left more than
one young landsman in the Antipodes
forlorn and bereft.
Life Full of Thrills.
There have been enough adventures
packed Into the lives of these people
aboard the E. R. Sterling to make sev
eral books. They think little of them.
Margaret, the baby, is as blase as an
old salt.
"I'm getting perfectly tired of this
life," she said, with a yawn. "I pre
fer to stay ashore and I'm going to
make daddy give up the ship and come
with us to live In a house soon."
She talks like a woman of twenty at
times. But who wouldn't, If she 'had
only old snllors and mother and father
to learn with and from, and only saw
other little people once In a blue moon,
when the big barkentlne is tied up at
some pier or In some dock discharging
or taking on cargo.
Margaret says she is going to make
the captain stay ashore swn so that
she can go to school and have a back
yard and a sand pile and play with
ttle girls of her age as much as she
likes.

Angry Bull Smashes
Two Red Automobiles
Two automobiles belonging to
Ernest and Earl Blalsdell of
Wolcott, N. y., were badly dam
aged when charged and butted
by an enraged bull which broke
dewn the fence of his pusture
when he saw the offending cars.
The Blalsdell brothers are twins
and each painted his automobile
a deep red.
When farmers came to the
rescue of the motorcars they
were forced to retreat until
pitchforks and stout clubs were
obtained with which to beat the
animal back into the pasture.
The curs had been left parked
beside the fence.
