PLAN MANY SHIPS
TO POLICE THE SEAS
ALIENS TO QUIT U. S.
1,25O,0O0 Seek Passage to Ma
tive Lands.
Great Drop in immigration and In
crease in Emigration Seen When
Peace Comes.

New York, Dec. 9.-"Instead of our
receiving hundreds of thousands of
foreigners a year, we are to face flat
reversal of that condition. Immigra-
ton will become emigration" said
Frederick G.. Howe, commissioner of
immigra ton.
1t was pointed out that reports from
steamship companies during the past
four years show applications from up
ward of 1,25O,O00 aliens for passage to
their native lands as soon as the fight
ing was over. Commissioner Howe eX-
pressed belief that so far from the
end Of the war inspiring an exodus of
war-weary Europe, America must face
the loss of very large number of her
alien population.
II have learned from bankers" he
said, 'in Pittsburgh, Cleveland and
the anthacite regions that the aliens
are saving a considerable portion of
their high wages in plan to return
to their native Russia, Poland and BO-
hemia because of the freedom they
foresee in those countries as a result
of the allied victory.
Questioned as to whether emigration
from America will not be balanced by
the rush to these shores of millions
from the war-worn lands, he replied ::
"That won't be the case. In fact,
you may expect to see the war cOun-
tries of Europe passing laws restrict
ing emigration. All available man
power will be necessary for recon-
struction purposes"

BIG WELCOME FOR WILSON
Event to Eclipse Anything of the Kind
in History

Paris, Dec 9.-The finest cannon
Frances artillery can boast will boom
the royal salute when President and
Mrs. Wilson drive through the great
triumphal arch next Saturday morn

railway station to the Murat residence,
which will be the Partisan 'White
House" while Americas chief execu-
tive is here.
The same welcome that was given
the kings of Great Britain and Bel
gium awaits the president. In point
of popular acclaim his reception bids
fair to outdo anything Paris or any
other European capital has ever seen
since Napoleon returned from Elba.
Two special trains carrying French
and italian, and perhaps English, del
egates will leave Paris Thursday after
noon for Brest to meet the Wilson
party.

That all of Europe deluded Germany, expects

months tens and hundreds of thousands of Americans

Musterole does it. 1t is clean, white

Just massage Musterole in with the fin

relief-how speedily the pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilitis. Group, stiff neck, asthma,

Six thousand horses and mules have
been shod in this school since it's es-

students have been graduated and
sent back to their regiments for duty
in their new trade there. A student
starts in one end of the building and
comes out of the other three months
later, able to make any sort of shoe
and to shoe any sort of steed in the
correct army manner.
Can't Hurt Thing
From SO to 60 horses are shod in |
the school every day. Some of the

Great Days

Things march so fast these
fateful days, we are not Jared
by any news; there's naught SO
strange it can amaze, or make
us trcmble in our shoes. We
push ourselves around the town.
and hear the latest tidings
there; some mighty king has
lost his crown; we say, "Well,
WE'LL" or II declared" We hear
of thrones that are no more, of
captains on their Bonded knees,
and hasten to the grocer's store,
to see just what he asks for
cheese. An ancient monarchy
expires; we hear the news, and
say, "By jings!". And then we
talk of rubber tires, and gaso-
line, and kindred things. We've
heard so many wondrous tales
of streams of gore and whole
sale death, the most exciting
rumor fails to make us draw a
longer breath. Perhaps in COM
