Those without the rope are seeking
the loved ones who have come from be-
yond the sea. There is wild jargon of
voices-a strange commingling of
many tongues. Just off the walk, up
toward the Battery park, an old man
in long coat, skull cap, with gray
beard and stopped shoulders has
thrown his arms around his son and
kissed him on the cheek. Not far from
here young woman stands bewiidered
and alone. Her escort who had met her
on the borders of the strange land has
left her for moment, and she has
been surrounded by horde of rapa-
cious expressmen. Within the build
ing, close to the iden tification desk, is
tall, lank Dutchman. On his head is an
odd little Dutch cap. His trousers have
a hitch and his coat has swing that
betrays his nationality. It has only
been few days since he discarded the
wooden shoes of his fatherland and his
baggage bears about it the air of dykes
and bitches. To each one of the at

an appeal to Washington is made, is at
