OPEN IMMIGRATION BARS

Much of the recent annual report
of the Commissioner of immigration
deals with the difficulty of prevent
ing undesirable aliens from slipping
through the fence. In ordinary
times, as related by us the other
day, they come so fast that the in
adequate staff of physicians cannot
examine them properly.
Another complaint is that the
money available for ridding the
country and keeping it clear of i'm
moral invaders is insufficient. While
1850 criminals, sexually debased
persons, and anarchists were de-
barred in 1915, these results are
small, the commissioner says, COM
pared to what he could do with more
funds.
The law governing admission Of
mental detectives he characterizes
as not strict enough. Efforts to bar
contract labor have been paralyzed
by a court constituting the statute to
mean that the prosecution must
prove the contractor knew that the
men he bargained with were aliens,
The law inhibiting enticement or as
sistance of immigration also is con-
demned as useless because not spe-
cific.
Chinese constantly evade restric-
tion by posing as natives" "sons OF
natives" "sons of merchants" and
Students" when they really are
laborers. Smuggling of Chinese goes
merrily on across the northern and
southern borders. Cutters and

Ashmead Bartlett Asserts Per.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.--The sinking OF
the Peninsula and Oriental steamer
Persia BY a submarine was a most de-
liperate and unwarranted attack on a
passenger vessel operating entirely out
OF the beaten track Of war vessels and
transports, according to 4. 'Ashmead-
Bartlett. the British war correspondent,
who has recently been in the eastern
Mediterranean.

the regular lanes used by warships and
transports where they might find legit-
innate prey because they are too well
policed by trawlers and other patrol
boats. instead they lie in wait OF the
beaten track for defenseiess passen-

"wITnOUT REGARD"

The call for the Republican ma
tional convention has been issued. 1t
invites persons who believe in Re-
publican principles to participate in
selecting delegates, "without regard
to past affiliations"
Thus is set the stamp Of the
party's highest official approval on
the program of bringing back into
line the elements that in 1912 with
drew in protest against the party
crime of Chicago. There was more
than political need for such a sane
endeavor. The country faces new is
sues, new conditions, new problems
1t is vitally important that the re-
suit of an election this year shall
not be determined by an unnatural
division of the people, giving q
minority the power to make a policy
for the country. If ever there was g
time when a lineup and an honest
verdict were needed, it is this year
The conditions that rent the Repub
lican party are Of the past. New
ones have developed that make il
vital that the Republican party pre-
sent its real strength.
The Washington times., 1916-01-03
is RUSSIA FULLY READY

1t will be more than merely inter-
esting to observe the developments
in the eastern theater of war, where
Russia has opened a gigantic offen-
sive after some months of compare
tive quiescence. There is report, and
reason to believe it, that Russia is
prepared for a great effort. Her
misfortunes in the last campaign
were largely due to lack of muni-
tions. Her armies were driven back
because while they lacked both arms
and ammunition, their opponents
we're willing to make generous ex-
penditure of these necessaries. They
we're compelled to be more than gen.
erous; to be prodigal. They fol-
lowed this vast expenditure with an
other in the Balkans; and if now the
Russians are ready for a huge eff
fort, backed by ample stores of sup
plies for their reorganized armies,
they will presently make themselves
severely felt.
It must be kept in mind always
that. the war is almost a year and a
half old. Every passing month has
been closing up the gap between
German and allied armies, in the
matter of quality of troops. Moth
ing makes soldiers so fast as actual
war; and both Britain and Germany
have had great forces trained from
rockies into seasoned veterans. On
the German anvil they have been
hammered into form; they are ready
to meet the legions of the Kaiser on
something like equal terms as to
military preparation.
Russia was to have been rendered
incapable of further effective resist
ance, by the = German campaign
through Poland. That campaign,
however, like every other that the
German offensive has involved, pro-
duced only half conclusive results.
Riga did not fall, and the wonderful
Russian retreat saved the country
from military destruction. japan
has been pouring munitions into
Russia as fast as factories could
make and the trans-Siberian railroad
could haul them; Britain and Amer
lea have been forwsrding them at a
rate that has suddenly made Arch
angel one of the worlds greatest
ports. A recent writer from Russia
declared that every industrial CEN
ter in the country had been converted
into an armory. In short, Russia is
on its feet again ready as never be-
fore for the giant enterprise by
which, with the cooperation of her
allies, it is hoped that the German
onrush may be stopped and German
power crushed by sheer superiority
of weight, numbers, and resources.
The Washington times., 1916-01-03

will be explained that this crimc was
perpetTated not only in legal but
in a friendly and Christian spirit,
and If that Issue is raised undOubt-
edly it will be debated with sonor-
Gus seriousness by our State De-
partment.
But whether the Persia had four
inch guns or six-inch guns to defend
herself against pirates the one issue
which will grip the American people
is, are we going to beseech the out
laws Of the Old World, after kicking
US again in the face, to cable an
other polite apology and then spring
the offending leg for another kick,
or are we going to act?
The Washington times., 1916-01-03
DO YOUR DUTY, GENTLEMEN

Messrs. Charles Linkins, Charles
H. Bauman, and Jesse H. Foster
have been named by the Republican
national committee as an election
board to conduct the registration and
primary in which will be chosen the
two delegates from the District of
Columbia to the next Republican ma
tional convention.
To these three men has been given
a commission that involves oppor-
tunity to render very real service
to the District. Let them, together
with the corresponding board for
the Democrats, find a way to hold a
reputable primary in this town,
whose result will attest not only the
honest wish of the people, but the
capability of the community to dis
charge creditably the most elemental
functions of a self-governing people.
primaries" in the past in this
District haye amounted to a farce
when they were not enough worse to
be a scandal. The Democratic pri-
mary of four years ago was a scan
dal, and the Republican a farce. That
sort of thing Injuries the community
in the eyes of Congress, adds to the
difficulty of getting concessions to
the demand for self-government, and
helps rivet the shackles of utter de-
pendence on this city. Let there be
reform. Do your duty, gentlemen!

TnR WAR AND THE WOMEN

Students of the social problems
precipitated by the war are Begin
ming to realize that, so far as con-
Germs the place of women in the
scheme Of things, the war has mere
ly hastened a elimination that has
been inevitable ever since modern
industrial methods became supreme.
Invention and progress have taken
Iher traditional work away from
woman. They have demanded that
she enter new fields and do new
things. She was doing all this
when, the war came and made neces-
" a greater transfer Of feminin-
to more Immediately productive
Ids.
Women did more last year than
sr before toward raising the food
pplies of Europe; but before that,
men had contributed largely in
at direction. Women are working
street car conductors in Berlin.
ell, women, as lark in the inter-
of various charities, have done
same thing for a day at time
-. various American cities. Women
are making munitions Cf war all
over the Old World. They have been
factory operatives by the hundreds
of thousands for many years. Their
numbers, in organized industry,
have been growing fast even under
peace. They have grown faster
under war.
This transfer of women from the
home to outside enterprise means
inevitably a marked effect on the
home. 1t means fewer children and
increasing tendency toward
ger participation of community
ther than family factors in the
ising of the children. The tend
cy will persist after the war, be-
use the war, after all, has only
.stened the thing that everybody
sew coming.

THE Grips GRIM GRIP

Those who regard the grip lightly,
who fail to care for themselves, and,
what is worse, fail to take precau-
tions against spreading it, should
consider the situationz in Philadel-
phia. There an epidemic has hold OF
the city. II is estimated that about
100000 persons, or one in every four,
are suffering from the grip. Drug
stores are doing a land Office busi-
ness in prescriptions, and there IS
talk of sending to other cities for
nurses to help attend the cases.
Grip germs thrive in cold weather,
though the grip does not unless per-
sons insist on staying in hot, stutfy
rooms, SO that their resistance is
lowered. When warm weather, like
that of the last few days, follows
cold weather it behooves city dwell
ers to take special care. For the
lowered vitality that follows upon
the advent of the warm days makes
the system more susceptible to the
disease.
Every city dweller has a duty to
perform in trying to check the
spread of the disease, as we'll Gs in
trying to avoid it. If you have a
cold keep out of crowded street cars.
If you must sneeze use a handker-
chief. These are simple rules, but
the proportion of persons who follow
them is few, as is attested by epi-
denies like that in Philadelphia,
