WARS EFFECTS ARE
FELT BYY. N. {. A,
Secretaries, Who Formerly Met
5000 Immigrants a Month,
Now See Only 800.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2l.--The European
war has touched the people in an i'm.
usual quarter-the Y. NJ. {. A. In time
OF peace abroad. It 10 customary for the
secretaries Of this organisation t. spend
great deal Of time with the vouno
men between ffteen ana forty-ivs Who
come to this country.
Normally. 50 per cent OF all the i'm
mi6rants 10 between those ages. But
tne warring countries, Of course, are
not permitting able-bodied men to leave
followed In the lead Of the othcrs and
the percentage has been greatly cut
down. ."'
Y. NJ. c. A. workers formerly met and
became acquainted with 5000 immi-
srants q month at Ellis Island. That
hg,ire has decreased to 800.
Peter Roberts. secretary for immigra-
ton work Of the international commit
tee, has noted the effect Of the war
upon the Poles In this country. He
Poles are inspired BY the fght which
their former countrymen abroad are
putting up against the Germans and
that the American Poles feel more con
fdence In themselves as a result.
Commenting. upon the often-cxpressed
fear Of . tidal wave OF immigration
after the war 10 over. Roberts aaid:
Il SEQ that in Washington they arc
dreading the flood Of immisra ton that
Will arrive after the war. Well. I don /
though I believe . torrent of immi igra
tion then would be a good thing, a
