brought fully to the realization OF
what the war meant" declared DIR.
Macfadyen to Star reporter last
night. "They did not stop to think OF
the fighting: they had not become ac-
quainted with the facts and the seri-
BUSINESS of the conflict in which the
country is engaged. This, to large
extent, is responsible for the appar-
ent lack of interest displayed by the
young men of, military age who several
months after the outbreak of the war
failed to answer the call and were
instead attending games of cricket ana
foot ball
Soon after the war began the re
cruiting in the south of England went
forward as rapidly as possible. or as
rapidly as the arr.y could absorb the
great numbers who offered their serV-
ices. Young men in that part OF the
country seemed to realize the serious
ness of the conflict, and came IN num-
bers- There was no complaint there
Factory Workers Held Back.
But it was in the big manufacturing
districts where there was difficulty in
recruiting. The men of military age
there were getting high wages, and,
no doubt. were needed in the factories.
I talked to some of the workers, to the
factory owners and to the young men
who attended the foot ball games,
which brought forth much unfavorabic
criticism at the outbreak of the war,
and none of them seemed to realize
how serious was the proposition.
The manufacturing districts are in
the parts near Scarborough and other
towns shcllcd by the German feet sew
eral days ago. Though not uncXpcct-
cd. it was just what England needed.
1t brought home to the young men of
military age the real meaning of the
war and the necessity of their ans ver
ing the countrys call to arms. The
shelling by the German ships could
have no military advantage, and only
gives to England effective means of
bringing the youth of the country into
the armies.
THE bombardment already. ! am in
formed. has had the effect of causing
Il great rush of recruiting. and all that
now is needed is an aeroplane attack
on London. which would have the cf-
feet of stimulating enliStments to such
an extent that an army of millions
of young mon could be raised within
a short time.

immigration Law an Obstacle.

But there is one obstacle in the way
the immigration laws of the United
States. When the present law was en-
acted ii did not contemplate such
situation as now exists in the case of
the Belgians. 1t vas not intended to
stop the immigration of such commu-
mites There is new law now under
discussion, and it is easy to add 4
clause to make it possible for the Bel
gians to come to the United States. 1t
could be done without violating the
neutrality of the country.
such a clause would allow O. regu-
lated and properly financed jnmigra-
tion of Belgian communities to the
states, If there was any popular man
date for such an alteration. Here the
people are the source of the law, and
il remains for them to give expression
TO their humanitarian sympathies in
such a way as to make those sympa-
thies really effective in helping dis
tressed people. The situation is one
without precedent in history. There is
no parallel available"

His Mission Here.

Regarding his errand to this country
in the interest of the Bclgians. Dr..
Macfadyen plans publicity scampa ign
to stir up public sentiment to the ex-
tent of having the immigration laws
amended so that the Belgian refugees
may be brought to this country as COM
rnunities and firmly established
While praising the work of tho
American people in sending food and
supplies to the stricken people, DIR.
Macfadyen declared it must be appar-
cnt to such q philanthropic people as
the Americans that their work was
but postponement of starvation to
the Belgians, and that sooner or later
the question of providing for them per-
manently must be met
In London at this time there arc Il
quarter of n million refugees. who can
think of no future but to return to
devastated Belgium, he said. But, he
continued. the younger men do not
turn to the stricken country, where
they can see no fruits for their en-
deavors. The young men are turning
their eyes to the new world, and they
ask if there is any way of getting IA
start here.
"If they come here alone the doc
tor declared. they probably would
succumb to the strangeness of the new
surroundings. They are essentially
community people, and IL they como
here in communities they viii find II
much easier to make coed. Such i'm
migration of communities would not
seriously hamper the repopulation OF
Belgium.
Belgium. while it took care of u
great number of people, cannot accom-
rnodate the same number as it did be-
fore the war. If they could come here
in communities they would not be abb
