TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE
Europe in Sad Straits with Horde OF
Returning Immigrants.

1t is curious commentary ON the
economic conditions of the old world
that the turn in the tiae of American
immigration Is causing serious trouble
in Italy, Austria, Germany, Sweden
and Norway. If the industrial condi-
tlons Of the United States Of America
threaten to be bad, they are Infinitely
worse In the countries named. Italy
complains the loudest because the sit
uation there Is the most serious. Her
returning hordes do not bring suffi-
cient money to support them more than
a few weeks at most, while many land
practically pennileSs. The authorities
there confess themselves unable to deal
with the problem.
The Germans, however, are much
better provided with money on an av-
erage than the Italians. Business con-
ditions in Sweden and Norway are SO
bad this unexpected influx is truly ap-
palling and much distress is inevitable
in the severe northern winter.
