NEW RUSSIAN PORT FOR
 RECEIPT OF AMERICAN GOODS

For the first time since the opening of the European war. American ex- porters will have an opportunity to land goods in Russia without interfer- ence or delay from government ship ments.
 This important news was received at the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce, New York, in a cabIegram from the Russsian-American Cham Der of Commerce in Moscow, announcing that the port of Nikolaievsk at the mouth of the Arnur river in Siberia will be opened for navigation on June IA and will provide a new channel for placing American goods in the Russian market.
 There has been a great congestion of freight at V1adivostok on account of the immense quantities of munitions and other government cargoes receiv- ed at the port. American exporters wishing to avoid the congestion and delays in sending freight by way o< VIadiVostok should direct steamers to NikOlaievsk. Goods received at Nikolaievsk will be transported up the Anur river to Stretyinsk, where con- nection is made with a railroad line connecting with the Trans+Siberian railroad.
 The opening of the new port with it's connections via river and rail to all parts of Russia is another evidence of the desire of the Russian government to cooperate with the American-Rus- sian Chamber of Commerce and the Russian American Chamber of Com merce in Moscow, to facilitate trade relationships between the United States and Russia.
 It will be of particular value to the exporters of cotton, metals, machinery and tanning products. There is strong demand in Russia for such

Teaching Would be Citi-

eBy Frederick c. Howe, Commission

(By Frederick C. Howe, Commission
 CT of Immigration at New York.) The first contact of the alien with America should be one that would inn press him with acy-with the new meaning that he had right to expect from government Over 98 per cent of those who come to this country are admitted to it.
 The treatment they receive on en- trance will inde1ibly impress their minds with what America really is. And in order to encourage courtesy and consideration and prevent the many kinds of abuse which might arise in the handling of thousands daily, two devices have been hit upon at Ellis Island. One was the placing of suggestion and complaint boxes all over the station into which anyone could drop a suggestion bearing upon station administration, or a, complaint of ill-treatment by employees or con cessionaries The second and by far the most important device was the or ganization of all the employees at the station into groups according to their respective work.
 These groups selected a delegate to a central conference. Periodic meet ings were held for the purpose of dis cussing suggestions for the improve ment of the Service, and for the 1odg- ing of the suggestions of individuals or groups. None of the administra- tive officers are admitted to these con ferences, which are designed to stimu- late the imagination and initiative of every employee to participate as fully as possible in the administration of the situation
 Out of these conferences many very valuable suggestions came. They re- suited in substantial economies in the
