We finally found ourselves at the
west edge of San Stefano, where a
street is bordered on one side by open
fields. This was where, until a few
days before, hundreds, perhaps thou

among the dead, with no one to lift a
finger for them. The ground was
streWn with such debris of them as we

ment, but more thickly. And, at a GER

more dreadful still. At first it looked

Immigrant Tide Turns.

The South American countries today

pride to say that the American is con-
eelted, but we are, and furthermore,
the American, as a rule, is sadly lack
ing In foresight. Every suggestion
made to change the order Of things is
met with a rebuff. I came to the
United States many years ago and be-
came a citizen. Then 1 went to South
America. I have been In every coun-
try in South America except French
and Dutch Guiana, and have had an
opportunity to observe how deficient
we are in our efforts to induce the
right kind of immigration.

they make alluring offers to the pros

ont IL il can properly be shipped. We

Possession of n non resident license
does not make IL legal TO ship a deer

there must be special permit issued
