An interesting question just now is in VolVel in the appeal to President Roose- vet to revoke the ordered deportation to her native country of the young Belgian girl, Irene Vanderenwera, who arrived recently In New Orleans. The surgeons of the public health and marine hos pltal service there diagnosed an affection of the eyes with which she suffered as the dread disease which endangers Amer ica. Since the action of the surgeons, whose ordered deportation has now be- come a national question. ten ocular ex- perts have made affidavits that Miss Van derenwera has no affection of the eyes and these affidavits have already been forwarded to the President by Senator McEnery
 Tie surgeons of the hospital service are holding to their original diagnoses, and those who consider that injustice at their hands should receive proper investiga- tion, have become greatly interested in the determination of Miss Vanderenwera to make a visit to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and let him see for himself the eyes which marine hospital surgeons say ci danger America.

 After following the operatic stage for several years, MT. and Mrs. Scum came tO New Orleane ta hot niece, whose dearest wish was to come to America, has won. 1t Is said, thousands of friends in her determination to have the order of deportation revoked and as ten emdent ocuists have given such im- portant testimony in her case, and many prominent people have interested them selves in the matter, believing that injus- tice has been done. President Roosevelt attitude to a personal interview will be watched with solicitude.
