shred of evidence upon which to hang
any theory.
Nearly all the victims were between
10y and q years of age.
The explosion occurred in a pack

OUR IMMIGRATION PROBLEM

in normal or prosperous times there
is no scarcity Of industrial labor. Yet,
for several years there has been COM
plant of the increasing scarcity OF
farm labor in the United States until
now the situation has become acute.
Most of our immigrants have been
farm-raised in the old countries where
they do farm, but practically none Of
them have Of late years been utilized
in farming operations in this country.
After the war we are likely to get,
especially from the countries of north
western Europe, some of. the best
farm labor in the world. Senators and
representatives from the farming
states would find the proper placing
of the agricultural immigrant about
as popular a line of craftsmanship as
they could undertake for their coun-
try constituents. In short, if Uncle
Sam ever needed to put his machinery
for immigrant distribution on a bust
ness-like, efficient basis it is now; for
he is going to have large order to
fill before long.
Edwin G. Cooley, who closed five
months of investigating agricultural
conditions on the continent just in
time to escape the war, declares:
Though the end of the war, when
ever it comes, will make every Euro
pean worker needed in his own coun-
try as never before. the burdens of
taxation, now beyond our realization,
will, be increased to an extent that
will make the struggle hopeless. Then,
too, poverty will be terrible. Those
who have been fairly prosperous are
already. practically penniless.
Thousands who have acquired small
holdings have seen their savings of a
lifetime swept away; and this devas.
tation has only begun. The eyes OF
all these will inevitably turn toward
America = peaceful, prosperous, un
military America. They are bound to
appeal to their relatives and friends
already here for passage money, and
that appeal will be answered.
In my report to the Chicago Com
mercial club, for which my investiga
tions were made, l have gone on rec
ord with the prophecy that the wal
will bring us not only increased i'm
migration, but immigrants of the most
desirable sort-skilled workmen and
skilled farmers, both with a sound
scientific training behind them. It IL
immensely important that they should
be rightly placed when they arrive
the farmworkers on the farm, the
rough laborers in their various lines
and the skilled artisans in theil
crafts. A displacement Of these new
corners would be a lamentable eco
nomic loss for this country.

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 d.
rectly to the Pacific coast and more
of the oriental immigration to the At
lantic states. In other words, there
will be 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 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 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 s
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 ant
distribution of the immigrants ad
mitted. The result has been that con
ditions have tended to draw practic
ally all our immigrants into industrial
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.
Every business depression during
the last 90 years has been attended
with an alarming proportion of idl'
laborers in industrial lines and ever

ITALIAN ASSAULTS DESPERATE.
Attacks Along the Isonzo Unequaled
In Their Ferocity.

In Their Ferocity.
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-Italian 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 &C
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 a large force
Of Austrians busy and it compels them
continually to bring up reinforcement
which could otherwise be usefully en-
ployed against the Montenegrins and
Serbians.

King Niok's Troops and Supplies Are

London.-The greater portion of

army is believed to have crossed into
the mountains of Albania and Monte
negro, where the Serbs are continuing
with the aid of King Nicholas troops
and supplies, which are reaching them
from the Adriatic, to offer stern resist
ance to the Austro-German and Bull
garian invaders. Like the Bulgarians,
the Serbians hold only fringe of
their country, which widens as it
reaches the southwestern corner,
where Monastir is the center
For some reason, variously explain
ed, the Bulgarians have halted their
march on that city.
