1.-THE Italian in America published by
B. F. Buck & Company.
This volume. entitled THE Italian in
America" is a series of articles in book
form, the design of which is to present
clearly che contribution of Italy to Amer
lean development and citizenship. 1t is
written by Eliot Lord, A. NJ, special
agent L. S. tenth census. social statistics.
John j. D. Trenor, chairman of immi-
grafton committee National Board of
Trade and Samuel ]. Barrows. secretary
OF the Prison association of New York.
1t is stated in the preface that THE au-
thors have in view simply the recital of
facts, for impartial consideration for no
concern of this country is more momen-
tus and urgent than the national dealing
with the problems of immigration, con-
gestion, distribution and education for
American standards of living and citi-
zenship."
In the initial article, "'rhe Flow of I'm
migration" by Eliot Lord, possibly most
readers will be surprised to know that
italian immigration to this country up to
the year of 1880 was inconsiderable. and
even up to 1890 did not exceed 100000, and
even the greater part of these was COM
posed of those making only transient
stay.
The census report after 1890 is more

exactly traceable and from the census
year of 1890 up to and including the CEN
sus year of 1900, the total is given at 655,-
$685. Then follows in detail a numerical
distribution of Italians throughout the
large cities of the country that is most
interestingly compiled. An authoritative
witness is quoted, Adolfo Rossi, the pres
ent supervisor of the Italian Emigration
Department, he says: The flower OF our
laboring class, which leaves Italy, not to
seek a living. but greater comfort.
Then | notice that the newspapers write
of the influx Of a lot of poverty stricken
Italians. Just look at the facts-S4 per
cent of Italians coming here are between
Is and 45 years of age. They are In other
words producers. You get this product
without the expense incurred in its rails
ing. Every Italian of is costs his coun-
try. at the lowest. $1,000 to bring him up.
At IS he begins to be a producer. but by
leaving Italy the $1,000 invested by his
country in him is lost. This human capital
of fresh, strong young men is the con-
tribution of Europe to the new land We
spend thousand dollars TO bring up and
develop a young man. and then you reap
the profits of the investment.
This is a new and a very convincing
point of view on the question OF ltallan
immigration. especially to any one who
has ever returned to New York on the
Mediterranean service and seen the class
of steerage passengers from Italy-some-
times amounting to 2O0o on one vessel
But this volume has other equally con-

I'VE were on our way to the rescue

army officer who was with the Ameri-

was the greatest rivalry between the
Russians and the Japanese even then,
and at one stage of the game actual
hostiities broke out between the
forces of the Gar and the Mikado We

well, nobody thought it was an acct

sian officer in command sent courier
to the Japanese commanding officer
with a polite note, explaining that the
Russians had mistaken the Japanese
for Boxers. OF course, the explana-
ton had to go, and everybody in the
armies of rescue was wondering how
the incident was going to pan out.
"The next afternoon, at about dusk,
the Japs opened fire with field artil-
lery on the Russians, and killed six
teen of them. Then the Jap COM
mander sent a courier in hot haste to
the Russian commanding officer with
polite note, explaining that in the
deceptive twilight the Japanese had
unfortunately mistaken the Russians
for Boxers. The polite note went. 1t

in the affair, but the whole Peking
expedition was tragic, for that matter
and the allied armies roared. It's Sig
nificant, isn't it, that in that little
preliminary mlx-up the laps came out
ten to the good? That was the be-
ginning of the Russo-Japanese war"

Pam is a remarkable heroine and In
the new story Just published by Bettina
Won Hutton faces such a problem as not
one woman In n thousand has to encoun-
ter or could face with such brainy and
moral courage. Yet 1t is very pleasing
and comfortable to the reader to learn
in the preface that the author writes in
defense of no theory, in defiance of no
wise and beautiful social law. So we will
surmise that the story of Pam" just hap
pened since the author declares, And l.
who relate am not a preacher. So. good
critics, gibbet my literary liabilities,
laugh at my literary follies, weep over
my literary dullness. but impute not to

Such an attitude affords the readers an
added zest to discussion.
