The interesting discovery has beer
made by officials of the immigration
Bureau that certain Of the Euru
pean governments make a practice :,
sending special agents to this countr,
for the purpose of keeping track OF
their subjects that come here as i'm
migrants. Austro-Hungary and Ital,
both do all they can to prevent thei;
subjects in America from taking ou.
naturalization papers and becomin
citizens. These facts have been de
veloped by special agents of the I'm
migration Bureau, who have beeu
making inquiries covering year OF
more, to ascertain the attitude of for
eign governments toward emigrants
The feeling in regard to this question
varies in different countries. In Ger
many and Ireland there is very
strong movement on foot to check the
stream Of emigrants that has beer
flowing in this direction for years. II
osher European countries a total,
different policy is pursued, some OF
the governments actually aiding the
outward movement.
