Events of Interest From Many
Parts Of the State.
PREDICTS TRROAG OF WOMEN
Professor Ross of State University Says
War VIII Cause UpheavaI
of immigration.

1.-The currents of immigration will
be affected by this European war as
rivers are by cataclysmic upheavals.
They are going to run in different
channels from different sources"
This prediction is made by Profess
sor Edward Alsworth Ross of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, whose book,
1.-THE Old World and the New" is
causing nationwide discussion.
when and where these currents are
to run will be determined not by the
war itself, but by the particular de-
velopments Of the war. While it is
too soon to make specific predictions
few forecasts seem to be perfectly
justifable.
Undoubtedly America will receive
a stream from Belgium. In view of
the advancement of the Belgians in
civilization this influx will be very de-
sira ble
Again, we might expect a renewal
Of that German immigration which
practically came to an end twenty
years ago. On the other hand, if there
is great destruction of life there may
be a dearth of men in the more i'm
portant agricultural parts of Europe,
SO that the outflow from Slavic coun-
tries may actually lessen.
"And here is very significant pcs
sibiHty," continued Professor Ross
"In the past men have greatly pre-
ponderated in the new immigration.
now look for rapid increase in the
immigration of women, widowed or
otherwise bereaved by the war.
This may have a serious and last
ing influence upon the social position
of woman in this country. Such an
influx might break down barriers
against the employment OF women in
mems work
ut is likely that the immigration
from warning countries after the war
will include more of the weak, unfit
and aged than hitherto. For the de-
struction of life falls upon the young,
the vigorous and the competent. We
should, however, offer them the great
esE pesfEAs aid consistent with oar
own protection"

CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH
Three Perish During Absence of
Parents,

Three children of Mr.. and Mrs. Fl.
Truax, all under four years Of age,
were burned to death in their home
while their parents were in the barn
on their farm three miles west of
Spencer, milking cows.
The father and mother, emerging
from the barn a half hour later, found
the house completely burned.
Neighbors with rakes and shovels
searched the ashes and found the
charred remains of the children.
A fire had been started in the kitch-
en- stove by the parents before they
left the house and it is believed the
children's clothing became ignited
while they were playing in the room
