HOPE TO DISCOURAGE MOVE

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Rome, Feb. 26.-The literary test
clause of the United States immi-
-grations laws, which is to take effect
May |, has already resulted in the
stimulation of the study of English
among Italians who expect to emf
CRATE to America when the war is
over.
In the belief of the Italian COM
missioner Of emigration there will be
more than enough work to be done
in Europe and at good wages when
the war is over and the governments
are expected to do all possible to
discourage emigration. However, in
quiries already being made at the
American consulates indicate that a
large number Of soldiers are consid-
ering the possibility of going to
America when released from service.
Reports that the United States has
become immensely wealthy because
of its war sales are prevalent here,
and relatives Of many Italians have
written home from America telling
of opportunities that are more GER
tain there and urging them to come
when the war is over without wait
ing to discover whether Europe is
or is not going to recover from the
setback given by the war. One of the
commonest remarks which Americans
in Italy hear from store clerks, from
soldiers, or from BARRIERS, Is that they
think of going to America when the
war is over. a M

pressed in some quarters that many

London, March Sin spite of the
war great deal of progress has been
made in establishing increased dock

pected to help restore much Of the
lost trade of the Thames and to make
London a stronger competitor OF
other ports in the United Kingdom.
When the war ends gigantic efforts
are to be made to regain for London
much of the trans-shipment traffic
which in recent years was captured
by Antwerp, Rotterdam and Ham
burg. ...
The scheme now being carried out
calls for dockage for bigger ships,
At Tilbury, where a big landing stage
is being built, berths are now ready
for steamers of $4,000 tons gross, or
nearly double the tonnage that could

Plestina Says He
Will Meet Taylor,
But Not in Lincoln

III Jack Taylor is, so suddenly keen
to wrestle, I'll take him on in Omaha,
Council Bluffs, Fremont, or any other
place except Lincoln, and my $3.50

Thus replies Marin Plestina, Gina

Ray Page, Jack Taylor's manager.
An agreement was made short
time ago for match between Plestina
and Taylor in Omaha, but it was
called off because it was found impos-
sible to obtain a hall. Later Page
carded match between Taylor and
Demetral for Lincoln on March u.

tina would be better drawing card
than Demetral.
Plestina, however, does not want to
wrestle in Lincoln. Lincoln is Tay-
lor's home town, and Plestina fears
the odds might be too great. He says
he'll meet Taylor any place else.

Favors Literacy Test.
While Italy furnished the largest
number of emigrants to the United
States before the war OF any single
nation, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1914, the number being 283,738,
as compared to 278,lS2 from Austria
Hungary, the Italian government fav.
ors rather than objects to the new
literacy test. -.-. a..
When the news of the passing OF
the new law over President Wilson
veto was printed in Italy the news
papers at once editorially stated that
the law would help rather than in
jure Italy. These newspapers gave
two reasons for this position, One
reason was that the law would force
Italians to educate themselves. The
second was that Italy hoped in the
future to export the manufactured
products of labor rather than labor
itself, and thereby increase the wealth
of the nation.

Keep Camps Moral,
Baker Warns States
In Official Note
Training Grounds Should Be
Free from Vicious
Contact

Washington, May 25.-Secretary
Baker made public to-day letter sent
20 the Governors OF all states calling
for cooperation in keeping army camps
free from immoral influences.
"Our responsibility in this matter is
not open TO question" the Secretary
wrote. 1--WE cannot allow these young
men TO be surrounded by a VICIOUS and
dcmoralizing environment.
"NOt only have we an inescapable
responsibility in this matter 70 the
families and communities from which
these young men are selected, but, from
the standpoint Of our duty and our de-
termination TO create an efficient army,
we are bound, as a military necessity,
10 do everything IN our power to pro-
mote the health and conserve the vital
ity of the men in the training camps.
81 suggest that your council make
itself responsible for seeing that the
laws of your state and of Congress IN
respect TO these matters are strictly en-
forced. This relates not only 10 the
camps established under Federal au-
thority, but TO the more or less tenn
porary mobilization points OF the Ma
tional Guard units. 10 relates, TOO, 10
the large centres through which SOL
ders will constantly be passing.
"If the desired end cannot be other
wise achieved, ! propose TO move the
camps from these neighborhoods IN
which clean conditions cannot be Sc
cured"
