THE LANDING OF IMMIGRANTS
AT CASTLE GARDEN

"To New York." says a swinging
door in the more subterranean re-
gions of the great Ellis Island build
ing, guarded by youth in blue uni
form whose duty it is to let only
those pass who have their slips mark
ed o. K. for New York. After the new
corners pass him, they, If not waiting
for friends to call for them, board the
barge and are taken to Bowling
Green, the open doorway of a great
city, and greater nation. In former
years there were many unlicensed
porters and cabmen, with almost no
check upon their operations, and it
has been estimated that more people
have been robbed in one day in the
little space between the Barge office
gate and the South ferry subway or
elevated trains than in any other place
of similar size in the United States.
Now things are managed differently,
and the immigrant guide and trans
fer organization takes charge of these
new jewellers in our land. On busy
day, these people may arrange to de-
liver several hundred immigrants.
These are tagged at the desk of the
barge office with yellow ticket pinn-
ed under the lapel so that they can
be identified by the guides of this
organization. Many accept the guide
service with evident relief. others
automatically as if enduring one more
formality. On every boat that leaves
Ellis Island for New York are groups
of those to be delivered, accompanied
by the immigrant guide and transfer
guide. Most of them square their
shoulders and stanchly set off with
the guide assigned to their group, and
behind their stolid and sometimes
grim faces who can tell what visions
lie?

NO LONGER GAY "PAREE"

Certainly no one who visits Paris
now would recognize it as city fam
Gus for it's gaiety. There is practical
ly no excitement in the French cap
ital, although the spirit of the people
is excellent. The discontinuance of
daily visits by hostile Taube caro-
planes and the removal of the govern
ment to Bordeaux have made Paris
duller than any one ever imagined it
could be. All the smart hotels are
shut and there is only one cafe where
seven were to be found during the
opening days of mobilization. In the
Latin Quarter and around the Care
Montparnasse about half the cafes
are closed; the Vullier is not running
and the aspect of the Boulevard st.
Michel after dinner is that of a small
American town-everybody sitting on
the curb, gossiping children playing
on the car tracks and the policemen
Ginning with women servants. Rel
atively speaking, there is scarcely any
traffic anywhere. All of the good
taxicabs in town have been requisi-
toned, and there is very few men to
run those that are left. Indeed Paris
is. for once, thoroughly dull and unin-
teresting. That at least is what we
gather from our special correspond
ent
