W arsaw , Jan. 31.—Another day and
half a night of horrors have passed. As
this dispatch is sent, the city is ruled by
savage mobs ami more savage soldiers.
Both are intent upon killing. No official
statements are obtainable at this hour,
but when the cost in human lives comes
to be counted thero will be found dead
by the hundreds—men. women and
children.
Every principal street has been turned
into a battlefield. It is impossible to re
cord the events of the past 24 hours in
chronological order, for many conflicts
occurred at the same time in sections of
the city widely distant from each other.
Throughout tha day and night the fight
ing the streets continued unabated.
Everybody — young and old men
women and children—was attacked by
the soldiers and ruthlessly mowed down.
One soldier aimed a saber blow at a
woman. In self-defense she drew a re
volver and fired a shot which went wild.
A second later a volley was directed at '
her, and she fell dead, her body uddled
by a score of bullets. This is but one of
a hundred instances.
For the most part the soldiers who rode
and tramped through the streets during
the late afternoon on Monday were
drunk. They seemed to take particular
delight in attacking harmless persons.
They killed for the m**re sake of killing.
Every hour brings new reports of acts
of almost inconceivable biutality com
mitted by individual soldiers. One
druuken Cossack killed two children be
fore his comrades could deprive him of
his carbine. As the night wore on, the |
strikers grew bolder. The red flag was
raised over several houses ami large
bodies of men made open attacks upon
the military. Shortly before midnight
fusillades were directed at passing
soldiers from windjwsjn various streets

<
times enjoyed by the United States
since 1898, but it continues to be of
about the same character which it
had when the movement of popula
tion across the Atlantic was cotn-
paratively small. There is no sign
that the old conditions existing when
most of the Immigrants came from
Germany, the British Isles, and Swe
den and Norway will ever be re
stored, states the Cleveland Leader.
In the year ending June 30, about
648,700 entered the country. Nearly
all of this multitude were from Eu
rope, the rest being natives of Asia,
mainly Japan and Turkey, the West
Indies. Canada, and other countries,
in various parts of the world. The
immigrants from Europe constituted
more than 95 per cent, of the total.
Twenty years ago the Europeans
w.ould have been chiefly natives of
the Britsh Isles, the German empire,
and the Scandinavian
peninsula.
Those countries would have fur
nished probably 75 per cent, of the
whole number. Italy, Austria and
Russia were then just beginning to
make large contributions to the pop
ulation of the United States.
Now 171,999 of the European im
migrants who landed in the fiscal
year are credited to the Austro-Hun
garian empire. No fewer than 178,-
375 came from Italy.
Over 107,000
were natives of the Russian empire.
The total for these three countries
was about 457,000. Only 191,000 re
mained for the rest of the world, in
cluding the sources of nearly all of
the immigration received down to
1880.
The British Isles sent less than 50,-
000 immigrants.
Germany contrib
uted about 28,000. Sweden and Nor
way gave the American republic 48,-
000 of their people, in round figures.
Little Greece sent over 1,000 emi
grants in the single month of May,
or more than France, Holland, Bel
gium and Spain taken together. It
is not long since a Greek was a curi
osity. even in the largest cities of the
United States.
These changes are making the
American nation more than ever a
condensation or amalgamation of the
civilized world. The elements of the
population which were formerly in
almost exclusive possession o_f this
country are receiving comparatively
few accessions from Europe, while
the large additions made to the
American nation are from parts of
the old world which have been least
adequately represented in the great
composite which is the chief hope of
human progress.
It is a part of the general equaliz
ing process going on all over the
world.
The countries which are
most progressive are leading others
upward, and those which are most
backward are struggling toward bet
ter conditions than they have known
in the past. They are sending many
of their most enterprising sons and
laughters to distant lands, and the
currents of migration and commerce
alike are doing a vast work for the
development of civilization and the
welfare of the human race.

sugar and a cupful of milk. When the
sugar's melted and the mixture hot add

Panned tomatoes are an excellent

tomatoes. Put them in a pan with a
tablespoonful of melted butter, and
cook slowly on top of the stove for ten

Arrange the tomatoes on a hot plate
and serve with a sauce made in the

sauce put another tablespoon fill of
butter into the pan. and when it ba«

tablespoonfuls of flour, stirring it con
