He said that l ought to begin at once
and that I had already lost two years.

SWARlNLNG BACK TO
EUROPE CARRYING 500, 600, OO(
BY JACOB WALDECK

NEW YORK, Nov. R2-Foreign-
ers are swarming back ITO their old
homes this year in numbers that
have never been approached in the
history of the country. Steamship
men declare that before winter is
far advanced 100000 aliens will
have returned to their native coun-
tries, carrying with them close to
$100,00C,000.
There is heavy steerage travel to
Europe late in every fall for two
reasons. One is the low fares fixed
by the winter steam schedules,
and the other is the winter lack of
work.
4 The great majority of travellers
consists of an army of laborers
who come in the spring to engage
I'm outdoor work, and return when
frost forces suspension of opera
tions. A great number of these hail
from Italy, and as a rule they are
employed in railroad construction
and mine work They are able,
during the open season, to earn
more than enough to pay their
travelling expenses and to meet the
cost flving during the months of
idleness.
A solid trainload of laborers
came from the mill and mining dis
tricts of Pittsburg. 1t was esti-
mated that they carried on the
average 5000 each. an amount suf-
fcient to maintain themselves for
a year in their old nomes.

A good deal is often said about

of the kind of cell one sees in

the fact that he has been locked up,
Powers has been treated very we'll.
