The Sword of Scotti$h Prince Reach (. S, WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The sword ot "Uonnle Prince Charlie," worn by him at court, and one ot the romantic blades ot Scottish history haa come to the United Btatea. It Is the gift ot Lord Oarlch, only son of the Earl of Mar of Scotland to Mrs. Clarence Crittenden Calhoun, ot Washington, one of the descendants ot the House ot Mar on hor moth er's side. The historic sword waa de livered through the British embaasy where It came In care ot the Ambassador, Sir Auckland Qeddes. The words ot presentation which accompanied the claymore declare It waa sent "In view of the fact that It waa .for tholr adhcrenco and loyalty to the cause of the Stewarts that the Earls of Mar suffered so greatly In their estates and fortunes that some of the family In exile, sought refuge In America."

Bills Island, melting pot ot tho world, Is boiling aa never before, with the greatest flood ot Immigrants In history pour ing Into it. Millions mora are clam oring at Europe's exit, anxious to come to America and congress will be pressed to quickly enlarge both the physical plant and working force on tho Island to more than double Ita present site, according to Immi gration Commissioner Frederick A. Wallls. Since early last summer, aliens have been entering America's front door la unprecedented numbers. The problem ot housing them until they can be admitted to the country has become painful to all parties con corned. Recently, hundreds ot Irami grants detained for Investigation had to aleep standing up, as the floors, benches and chairs already were fill ed with the backwash from tho con gested dormitories. The tide Is certain to become great er with each passing month. Com missloner Wallls felt assured: Steam ahlp operators Informod him tholr accommodations aro booked to en paclty for IS months ahead. Govern' ent officials announced 367,000 ap plications had been made for pass porta In Poland alone, mostly Jews, while hundreds ot thousands In other parte of Europe also were anxious to cross the seaa to this country. "Between 3.000.000 and 4,000.000 Italians are seeking domiciles and eltlsenshlp here and more than 3,- 000,000 Poles want to como ovor," said Commissioner Wallls. who attrl bated the exodua from Europe to tho harsh post-war living conditions and the economic situation. Frequently the commissioner ask ed the aliens why thoy loft Europe. Most of thorn replying "no money, no eat." he said. Many Italians farmers declared they ault their natlva soil because of tho danger from oxplos- Ions when plowing In former battlo- grounds. Added to tho prospectlvo Influx of IrrUnlgrants from tho countries ot the war allies, will bo millions In from Germany who, as soon ns tho way Is clear, will seek passago to America, the Immigration authorities have been Informed by rellablo and offi cial sources. , "The Immigration In the futuro will be limited only by the capacity ot the vessels," Commissioner Wal lls said. la the meaattmo while wondering how many years It will bo before aliens quit coming across the sea at their present rate, Ellis Island work ers are perplexed over their existing problems. The normal capacity of the Island la reached when 2000 Im migrants are Inspected dally. Yet, on a recent day, 10,400 aliens were fed there. During another day the same week 11,000 peraona were detained In the holds of the vessels which brought them over, while officials straggled with the work of examin ing the 4000 then on the Island. For two day the Island doors were shut against Incomers, who remained on .smmmmK smmmmmmmmmmM mmmmV smmmmmV Gould Memorial in Pari Dedicated rARIS, Oct. 14.

Coasmlesloaer Wallla haa found that soma groups ara easier to examine than others, while care most be tak en in separating the many nation alltles which make the Island conver sation sound like that at the Tower of Babel. "If we mix English, Irish and Jews there will be a free-for-all fight In ten minutes," said .the commis sioner. "The English won't eat with the Jews, and call them 'foreign ers.' " Three rocent additions to tho tasks of the Immigration officials have made more tedious the hand ling of the aliens. Much time Is required In visaing passports and tho literary test which all Immigrants must pass, also causes trouble. Each alien must read In one languago bo fore being admitted. In addition to Its labon with tho aliens, the Immi gration officials examine every sea man entering tho port, even though he left It but a few days before, In the last eight months 800,000 sea men were examined here. Despite congestion everything pos sible Is being done to make the treat ment of tho aliens on the Island hu mane. Babies are given warm milk atfd crackers. Candy, cigarettes, fruit and other comforts are furnished adults. Sunday concerts, with bands, grand opera stars and others on the program, ara held weekly. For those who cannot find a bed, 10,000 army blankets recently received from Washington are available for Impro vised sleeping equipment. Ilia Island authorities ara trying not to keep the aliens In the holds C Cm tumh aftaj arrival aad are atrlving not to delay commerce by holding up ahlps In that manner and so far they have succeeded. But, no matter how fsst the immigrants ar rive, the examinations will not bo made less rigid, rut will continual ly be made mora severe, Commission er Wallls said.
