FOREIGHHORDES
TAX CAPACITY OF
NEWYORKSTATIDN
NEW YORK. Oct. 9.—Ellis Island,
melting pot of the world, is boiling
as never before, with the greatest
flood of immigrants in history pour
ing into it. Millions more are clam
oring at Europe’s exits, anxious to
come to America and congress will
be pressed to quickly enlarge both
the physical plant and working force
on the island to more than double
its present size, according to Immi
gration Commissioner Frederick A.
Wallis.
Since early last summer, aliens
have been entering America’s front
door in unprecedented numbers. The
problem of housing them until they
can be admitted to the country has
become painful to all parties con
cerned. Recently, hundreds of im
migrants detained for investigation
had to sleep standing up, as the
floors, benches and chairs already
were filled with the backwash -from
the congested dormitories.
The tide is certain to become
greater with each passing month,
Commissioner Wallis felt assured.
Steamship operators Informed him
their accommodations are booked to
capacity for 12 months ahead. Gov
ernment officials announced 267.000
applications had been made for pass
ports in Poland alone, mostly by
Jews, while hundreds of thousands
in other parts of Europe also were
anxious to cross the seas to this
country.
Italians and Poles
“Between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000
Italians are seeking domiciles and
citizensip here and more than 3,000,-
000 Poles want to come over,” said
Commissioner Wallis, who attribut
ed the exodus from Europe to the
harsh post-war living conditions and
the economic situation.
Frequently the commsisloner ask
ed 4he aliens why they left Europe.
Most of them replied “no money, no
eat,” he said. Many Italian farmers
declared they quit their native soil
because of £he danger from explo
sions when plowing in former bat
tlegrounds.
Added to the prospective influx of
immigrants from the countries of
the war allies, will be millions in
from Germany, who, as soon as the
way is clear, will seek passage to
America, the immigration althori
ties have been informed by reliable
and official sources. "The immigra
tion in the- future will be limited on
ly by the capacity of the vessels,"
Commissioner Wallis said.
In the meantime while wondering
how many years it will be before
aliens quit coming across the sea
at their present rate, Elli s Island
workers are perplexed over their ex
isting problems. The normal capac
ity of the island is reached when
2,000 immigrants are inspected daily
Yet on a recent day, 10,400 aliens
were fed there. During another day
the same week 11,000 persons were
detained in the holds of the vessels
which brought them over, while of
ficials struggled with the work of
examining 4,000 then on the island.
For two days the island doors were
against incomers, who remained
on boats.
The rapidity of handling them de
pends upon the aliens themselves.
Commissioner Wallis has found that
some groups are easier to examine
than others, while care must be taken
in separating the many nationalities
which makes the island conversation
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 com
missioner. “The English won’t eat
with the Jews, and call them ’for
eigners.”
Care for Immigrants
Three recent additions to the tasks
of the immigration officials have
made more tedious the handling or
ne aliens. Much time is required
in viseing pasports, and the liter
ary tests which all must
pass, also causes trouble. Each alien
must read in one language before be
ing admitted. In addition to its la
bors with the aliens, the immigra
i ion officials examine everf\ seaman
entering the port, even though he
left it but a few days before. In
the last eight months 800,000 seamen
were examined here.
Despite congestion, everything pos
sible is being done to make the
treatment of the aliens on the island
humane. Babies are given warm
milk and crackers. Candy, cigarettes,
fruit and other comforts are fur
nished adults. Sunday concerts,
with bands, grand opera stars and
others on the program, are held
weekly. For those who cannot find
a bed, 10,900 army blankets recent
ly received from Washington, are
available for improvised sleeping
equipment.
Ellis Island authorities are trying
not to keep the aliens in the holds
of the vessels after arrival, and are
striving not to delav commerce by
holding up ships in that manner, and
so far they have succeeded. But, no
matter how fast the immigrants ar
rive, the examinations will not be
made less rigid, but will continually
be made more severe. Commissioner
Wallis said.
Aliens who are refused admittance
—and the percentage of rejected ones
has increased greatly since before
the war—are returned to the port
from which they came at the expense
of the steamships. Most of those
admitted to America are going to in
dustrial centers, but many are flock
ing to rural districts and farms, the
commissioner said.
Air Smuggler Flies
From Spain to France
PAU, France.—A polished gentle
man, wearing the full regalia of an
aviator and presenting a pilot’s cer
tificate, entered the shops on an air
plane works here a few days ago and
expressed a desire to purchase an
airplane. Accompanied by a repre
sentative of the firm, he evoluted
over the Pau field in various ma
chines, showing great virtuosity in
aerial gymnastics, looping the loop,
sliding on the wind, doing the falling
leaf and other stunts until he de
cided to purchase a biplane, for
which he gave a certified check as
payment. He then fled away.
In a field near San Sabastian,
Spain, yesterday there was found an
abandoned airplane, in which there
was a satchel containing several
thousand francs in French silver and
gold pieces.
A polished gentleman wearing the
full regalia of an aviator had been
seen to leave the plane a few minutes
after it landed, carrying heavy grips
of the same type as the one left
in the plane. No one returned for
the third grip and it has been con
fiscated by :he Spanish authorities.
The Pau airplane firm has notified
the Aero Club of France and the
Aero Club of England, as well as
the service of the European Aerial
Navigation, t o be on the lookout for
an aerial smuggler.

WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY?
One of the War’s Greatest Mysteries Surrounds the
Disappearance of Europe’s Gold and Silver Coins.
One of the strangest results of the
war was the rapid disappearance of
coinage from the world’s currency.
England has been very fortunate,
having lost only her gold. But on
the continent gold, silver, and in
many cases even copper, have disap
peared from circulation.
France has paper money as low as
£0 centimes—equal to fivepence in
normal times —and during the years
1915-17 actually had paper notes of
25 centimes’ value. Her silver has
not been withdrawn, but it is very
rare. The constant moving about of
British troops during the war kept
it in circulation to some extent in
the northern parts, at any rate.
Germany’s lowest paper rate is 10
pfennig—2 cents normally. This is
also the value of her highest coin.
During the war her whole coinage
was changed. Gold and silver were
withdrawn, and an iron coinage sub
stituted. To foster the spirit of pa
triotism, a standard ring was made,
which was worn as a sign of loyalty
by all Germans that had surrendered
any ornamnets to the state. The ring
bore the words, “Gold gab Ich fur
eisen, 1914.” (Gold I give for iron,
1914.)
Today even the iron money has dis
appeared, and the only doins left ,in
circulation are the 5 and 10 pfennig
pieces. There is, however, one ex
ception. In Tilsit, in East Prussia,
one can find 25-pfennig town coins.
As a result of this change the old
laws which forbade a man to smelt
coins have been repealed, and now
advertisements may be seen in the
Berlin papers offering as much as 400
marks for a twenty-mark gold coin
and 10 marks for a one-mark silver
coin.
All notes from 1 mark, normal
value 24 cents, upward are made by
the government, and are only valid
in the district of the town whose
name they bear, neither can they be
exchanged abroad.
In the occupation of Russia by the
German army from 1915 until the

Secret Drug TraffiaFound
Among Prisoners at Sing Sing
NEW YORK —Sing Sing prison of
ficials have discovered a drug traf
fic, which, it is said, has resulted
in the seizure of $1,300 worth of
heroin and cocaine.
Seven prisoners out of twelve re
ported involved In the smuggling
and use of drugs were sent to Clin
ton prison at Dannemora. Five of
the drug users had to receive medi
cal attention in the hospital and two
are still under treatment.
Warden Dawes is absent on prison
' M ’''i’'ess, so no official statement
armistice, the German military au
thorities made a special paper cur
rency called ost-geld, upon which one
may read the abortive attempt to
Prussianize the Baltic States. At
first the German mark existed side
by side with the Russian ruble. In
April, 1915, the first ost-geld notes
and coins were issued.
In the printing of the notes the
Russian language was entirely ig
nored. One side of the paper was
written in German and the other side
in Lithuanian. The people were not
yet accustomed to the German unit
of currency, so the Russian unit, the
ruble, was retained. In the second
Issue, printed at Kovno in April, 1918,
Lithuania was a recognized German
province, and so the mark replaced
the ruble on the notes. Strange to
say, Lithuania has made this money
her national currency, bearing though
it does the stamp, writing and sig
natures of her oppressors.
For the most curious collection of
paper money one must turn to Rus
sia. The many upheavals since the
first revolution of 1915 have placed
the printing blocks in so many dif
ferent hands that money has been
turned out indiscriminately.
In fact, it only needs a little skill
in engraving and printing to issue
money which will find currency in
one part or another of that vast and
unsettled land.
In spite of the great changes of
government, the old czar ruble is
still in circulation. Nobody' knows
who has the printing blocks, but the
stuff is still being printed and is al
ways welcomed by the peasant in
preference to the new currencies,"
which he does not trust.
And, in addition, all the govern
ments of Russia have made their pa
per money and circulated it. Ke
rensky, Kolchak, Yudenisch, Dene
kine—all had their own currency.
Even the adventurer Bermond, who.
toward the end of last year, raided
the Baltic provinces, left behind a
paper currency, printed in German
and Russian.—Landon Answers.

more than $30,000. One balance alo»e
was for more than $22,000. This de
posit was made with the bank in
November, 1911, and the depositor
seems never again to have been heard
from. The banks must carry these
accounts and advertise them regu
larly every yeai' until they_are claim
ed, which often happens after a long
lapse.
Savings banks are also required by
law to give a regular account of un

amount to hundreds of dollars, and

pliance with many requests which
have been made that a day be set
aside upon which homage may be
paid to the American heroes who fell
in the world war. President Wilson
has declared Sunday, November 14,
as Armistice Sunday.
The president issued the following
executive order:
“I hereby direct that on Sunday,
November 14, 1920, the flag of the
United States be displayed at half
mast at all military posts, naval
stations, on vessels and on build
ings of the United States as a token
of the nation’s participation in the
memorial services held for the heroic
American soldiers, sailors, marines
and others who gave their lives to
their country in the world war.
(Signed)
“WOODROW WILSON.”
The president also authorized the
following statement:
“There has been transmitted to me
a suggestion that I name Sunday
Nov. 14, as Armistice Sunday in or
der that the religious services held
throughout the country on that day
may be given an especial note of re
membrance for the heroic service
and sacrifice of those who died for
America in the world war. The se

annually be set aside to commemor

memories, has acquired additional
significance as being appropriate
also to the commemoration of the

take this occasion to express pub

“November 11, 1918, will always
be memorable as the beginning of
the end of the most terrible and
destructive of all wars. Our be

hastening the arrival of the day

bring with it solemn thoughts to the

SOUTH M WEST
PROFIT POLITIM
THROUGH'2O COUNT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8—(By the
Associated Press). —Examination of
the final census figures of the coun
try, which place the total popula
tion of the continental United States
at 105,683,108, indicates that the
west and the south proportionately
will gain more in a political way
than the east or middle west through
increased membership in the house
of representatives, more votes in the
electoral college and in larger dele
gations to the national political con
ventions.
This result will obtain whatever
basis of apportionment is adopted by
congress next winter, fixing the size
of the next house, which, in turn, is
reflected in the electoral college and
the conventions of the big political
parties.
As the result of the increase of
13.710,842 in population during the
past ten years, fifty new seats must
be added to the house to prevent any
state from losing any part of its
present representation. Should the
present membership of 435 be left,
unchanged by increasing the basis of
apportionment there will have to be
a transfer of thirteen seats, now
held by twelve states, to nine other
states.
For the past half century the pre
cedent has been to increase the size
of the house so as to prevent loss of
existing representation by any state.
As a result, the house has grown
from 243 to 435 members, with only
three states —Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont —losing one member
each in the last fifty years.
Southern States Would Gain
If this precedent is followed this
year, five additional representatives
must be given to California, four
each for New York, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and Michigan, three to Illinois
and Texas, two to Massachusetts,
New Jersey and North Carolina and
one each to Alabama, Arizona, Con
necticut, Georgia, Maryland, Mon
tana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Washing
ton, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Vir
ginia, Arkansas and Minnesota.
While the present basis of appor
tionment is 211,877 inhabitants or its
major fraction to the congressional
district, congress can increase the
basis to 219,427 without causing any
loss. To advance beyond the latter
figure will mean that Maine would
lose one seat, while Montana would
fail to gain one, with the net result
of forty-eight new seats in congress.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
house, as they regard the presnt
membership of 435 as too unwieldly.
When the house census committee,
headed by Representative Siegel, of
New York, begins consideration of
the problem, effort will be made to
hold down the increase, but pressure
for the increase is expeetd to come
from the states which would benefit
from a larger house.
By holding the house membership
to 435, gains would be distributed
with three to California, two to
Michigan and Ohio and one each to
Connecticut, New Jersey, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma, Texas and Washing
ton. To offset these gains, Missouri
would be forced to lose two congress
men. while Indiana, lowa, Kansas,
Kentucky. Louisiana, Maine, Missis
sippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Ver
mont and Virginia would lose one
each. All other states would retain
their present numerical delegations
in congress.

Old Age Deferred
BY DR. LEE H. SMITH. • »
Business men who must speed up the works and make busi
ness boom during these days—after the war—must recognize
the necessity of keeping fit. ,When mind is befogged, when you
have dull headaches or feel logy, when not “up to snuff,”
keep the bowels free with a mild laxative. In the morning
take a tepid sponge bath (cold water may be used if it does
not chill), follow with a brisk rub down; a sufficient "“setting
up” exercise in good air until you are in a warm glow. Have
you tried it lately?
Don’t let the poisons accumulate in th£ intestines either,
but try a dose of castor oil the first thing on rising, or a pleas- .
ant laxative occasionally, such as one made up of May-apple; ’
aloin and jalap, rolled into a tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold in
every drug store as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Then a cup
of hot water before breakfast, and you’ll feel better than a
king! If you continue in life thus, you can pass a Life Insur
ance examination at sixty.
If you wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if
you want to increase your chances for a long life, you should
drink plenty of soft (rain) or distilled water daily between ’
meals. Then procure at the drug store Dr. Pierce’s Anuric
(anti-uric-acid). This “Anuric” drives the uric acid out and
relieves backache and rheumatism, as well as kidney trouble.
Anuric dissolves uric acid. Try it now!— (Advt.) >
