Drop in immigration
Due to the European War
Threatens Labor Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.--The falling
off in steerage passages from abroad
for the year up to last week. as
compared with the same week year
ago, was SOO,069, which, according to
steamship agents and contractors,
means corresponding decrease in
the supply for the labor market.
Should the war continue any length
of time the impression prevails that
unskilled labor will be at pre-
MUM for some time to come.
Already the heads of corporations
employing large forces of laborers,
contractors and city officials engaged
in public works. are worried over the
effects of the European war on the
labor market. 1t is generally con-
ceded that immigration for a year o.
more will be seriously affected oy the
war, which will work hardships on
that class of laboring men in Europe
who are most needed here for subway
and other construction work These
men are bound to suffer, II is said,
because the war will close industries,
and without wages the peasants can
not save the money necessary to pay
their passage to the United States.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.lThree we'll
defined "Reminiscences In force are
now revealing themselves in the area
of hostllities.
The first is to the west of Liege in
the general direction of Antwerp,
Brussels and Waterloo; the second is
along the French Luxembourg border
and the third is in Southern Alsace.
Germany is conducting the first two
and France the third.
The object of a reconnaissance in
force is to entice the enemy to be-
tray his strength by sending against
him @ skirmishing body sufficiently
powerful to cause him to prepare for
an attack.
The irst of the "Reminiscences is
being conducted by strong German
cavalry brigade, which, according to
today's news, has crossed the Mouse.
Its primary objective Is to gather
German information. The German
army massing to the east of Liege
originally intended to pass diagonally
through Belgium, emerging west of
Lille. outfanking all the elaborate
French Notifications on the way to
Paris.
The cavalry reconnaissance report
ed today indicates this plan of cam
paign Is being followed despite its
discovery by the enemy. The German
commander now must obtain infor-
nation of the mobilization center of
the allies.
II the first decisive battle of the
war Is fought in Belgium, instead of
to the southwest of Lille, as seems to
have been the original German inten-
ton, new possibility Is added to
Germany's hope of victory. The bat
tie must be so manipulated from the
ideal German standpoint that, in
case of defeat of the allies, they will
have to retreat into the immense

ward the cause of Germany in the

% 600 cases of typhoid among the
American soldiers in less than three
months. About 1000 deaths resulted.
Now, with an army of 10000, about
half of the number in the field during
me Snanish War, one case of typhoid
is not reported in year.
Neglect of proper sanitary precau-
tions is now regarded by every world
mower as suicidal. History shows that
the fate of nations and dynasties may
hang upon sanitation. In 1892, when
the disciplined Prussian troops
marched to the relief of Louis XVI.
thew were met and repulsed by the
raw levies of the young republic. The
report of General Du Mouriez, the
commander of the French troops,
shows beyond doubt that owing to
neglect OF ordinary sanitary precau-
tons pestilential dysentery had at

cred 1t unfit for service.
