GsRMss E1GRNTioS To AuCalcA-One Of
the happy results OF the late victorious German
campaign. we we're assured BY all the Tenfsls-
drochs Of Germany, would be the complete
checking Of emigration from the Fstherlznd.
After the triumphs Of the German arms no one
would for a moment feel that his future would
not be Infinitely more glorious at home than
abroad, and large numbers Of Germsn-Ameri-
cans even would return. But now that the war
is over the authorities begin TO see the fslacy Of
their speculsiions TIE Germans run away
from home faster than before, and emigration
Offices are ovcrrun. Even the men-aud there
are many--who from sense OF duty had gone
home from here 20 fight against the French,
now hasten back. They are convinced that as
training school Germany is good, but it is worth
nothing more TO them. The very so, 900 Ger
mans who were expelled from France will Gene
here, if they cannot return to their French
homes They absolutely will net remain in
Germany. The old methods of work and seryice
there are calling. They feel oppressed under
thousand li:tle formulas which Do not exist for
them here; and they are tired OF seeing the rifle
and the red cap Of the officer everywhere. 1t is
estimated that the wa Of 1901 stopped the
emigration Of about 10000 Germans; but we
shall be sure to have a. many as 10000 this
year The Alsatians and L0rraines are coming
coming over TO US 10 enormous numbers. IL is
estimated that as many as 10000 families desire
to emigrste. Boston Journal.
