The opening of the Panama canal
and the European war are destined to
have great effects upon future immi-
grafton to the United States.
Heretofore the problems connected
with European immigration have been
largely confined to the Atlantic sea-
board and the eastern states, while
oriental immigration has affected the
Pacific coast states more vitality than
the other sections. With traffic via
the canal in full spwring, much of the
European immigration will come di-
rectly to the Pacific coast and more
of the oriental immigration to the At
lantic states. In other words, there
will be a more general distribution Of
all classes of immigration to all parts
of the nation.
The disastrous effects of the Euro
pean war will press more heavily up
on the peasants and common people
than on other classes. OF course, with
the hundreds of thousands of men
killed, there will be plenty of work
for those left, with the resumption of
industry after the war, but the bur
den of taxation will be so heavy and
and it will be so long before those
countries can regain their prestige
and prosperity that undoubtedly all
who can will emigrate and America
will get a big share of this immigra'
ton.
immigration during the last three OF
four years (before the war; reached
the largest figures on record and the
statistics show a steady increase in
the proportion of the less desirable
classes of immigrants, which demon
strates the vital need of further re
strictions upon immigration and 6
more strict enforcement of the law
The next logical step in the line o.
further restriction is undoubtedly the
literacy test.
This country has been making one
great mistake in its immigration
policy. 1t has placed all the stress
upon the question of admission an(
has utterly neglected the problem o
assisting in the economic placing anC
, distribution of the immigrants ad
mitted. The result has been that con
ditions have tended to draw practic
ally all our immigrants into industrial
I activities and congested foreign cen
tiers in the larger cities, whereas
many of them might, with better re
suits to themselves and the nation
have been assisted into other lines o
activity.

WILSON'S WAR PROGRAM
is TOO LIMITED, THEY SAY
Security League Committee Wants
Preparedness on Big ScaIe-Short-
age in the Navy.

Chicago.-The preparedness pro-
gram of President Wilson and his cab
met was indorsed as step in the
right direction in committee reports
on the army, navy and the militia read
before a conference of the National
Security league here Monday. On each
aspect OF the problem, however, the
committee findings were that the ad-
ministration had not indicated de-
sire to go far enough to make the
country safe from attack.
The proposed army increases, it was
pointed out, should be broadened TO
provide for extensive and continuous
education of officers and for collection
of large reserve stocks of supplies of
all kinds.
The navy plan was criticized as ex-
tending over too long period for com
pletion and as making no provision for
adequate personnel on ships built
building and proposed.
The project for a continental al
N.Y. was Endorsed merely as "a first
step" and the suggestion was made
that all men between the ages of Is
and 81 should be enrolled and have
military education.
Delegates were present from more
than so cities when the conference
opened, the representative of branches
of the league including governors, for
mer governors, several city executives
educators, business men and editors

Washington.-Pres Wilson is
expected to recommend to congress in
connection with the new ship pur-
chase bill that power be vested in the
proposed shipping board to regulate
the rates and practices of all steam

as the rates and practices of railroads
now are regulated by the interstate

ITALIAN ASSAULTS DESPERATE,
Attacks Along the Isonzo Unequaied
In Their Ferocity.

IN Incir FcrOCity.
London.-With the retreat of the
greater part of the Serbian army over
the Albanian frontier, the slowness of
the operations against Montenegro
and in southern Serbia owing to the
wintry weather. and the absence of
any major operations on the western
and eastern fronts, interest in the mil
itary side of the war is now transfer
red to the Austro-ltalian frontier,
where King Victor Emmanuels sol
diers are carrying on an energetic Of
fensive against the Austrians.
The fighting on this front has been
the most sustained and fiercest of the
whole war. For weeks the Italians
have been attacking the Austrian
bridgeheads and mountain positions
along the Isonzo river, and are slowly,
but surely, drawing their nets around
Tolmino, Gorilla and Doberdo. Their
attacks have been repeated time after
time against positions which had been
most carefully prepared, and while the
Austrians report that most of these
assaults have been repulsed, their ac-
counts are considered here to have
been so worded as to prepare the pub
lie for their retirement from Gorilla
at least.
This, for the time being, is Italy's
contribution to the Balkan operations
of the allies, but it keeps large force
of Austrians busy and it compels them
continually TO bring M reinforcement
which could otherwise be usefully en-
ployed against the Montenegrins and
Serbians.
