The Departure of Aliens

Contrasted with former years our immigra-
ton records show remarkable reversal. Alien
residents of the United States are going back to
their native lands A gradual increase from 33l
a day in November to 1,131 on April l is signal
commentary on the exodus. The savings bank
section of the American Bankers association
says that more than 100000 foreign born resi-
dents either have gone back or are preparing to
return to their native countries. The association
estimates that they will carry with them nearly
$500 100000, an equivalent of four-fifths OF
the total currency in circulation and in reserve
in the United States before the war.
The departure of these aliens will be felt i'll
two directions: First, they will create an easen-
ing of the labor market, making it easier for
men to obtain work and at the same time pre-
sentng problem to the manufacturer; second
ly, the removal of $4,000, 100000 will take that
much money, part of which ordinarily would
have been spent here, out of this country to en-
rich the national wealth of the native countries
of these people.
The exodus suggests again the necessity of a
thorough Americanization of persons who are
permitted to land on American soil If these mil
lions came to this country merely to better their
material condition without giving to this country
anything in return, they are undesirable citizens
and men and women who never should have been
permitted to pass the immigration offices.
America should insist that the men and women
who come to this country to take advantage of
our industrial and business opportunities remain
in this country so that the nation will have the
benefit of their productive ability as we'll as the
use of their savings to augment and fortify our
own national resources. It behooves us to
amend the immigration and naturalization laws
so that pressure will be brought to bear upon the
alien to become full fledged citizen of this Re-
public at once An educational campaign, teach
ing them the true meaning of democracy and
the responsibility which the alien assumes when
he becomes a citizen of the Republic should be
waged with relentless persistence.

Although scarcely able to walk Ser
geant Dickens so successfully directed
his men at the Argonne that the en-
envy was pushed back. Notwithstand-
ing heavy odds, Indiana soldiers IN
variably did their duty in this historic
battle. General Pershing gave Ser

comparable with his splendid devotion
to duty:

For extraordinary heroism in action in
the Forest of Argonne, France, Octo-
Der 4, 1918 Although he was severely
wounded early in the attack, Sergt.
Dickens refused to be evacuated, and
when all of the officers had become
casualties, he took command OF the
company and led it to the objective.

When Vas Wayne
Connty,s Secondary
Line Set9

Wayne, Knox and Saint Clair coun
ties, the first two in Indiana, and the
last in Illinois, form the three parent
counties of Indiana territory, winch
is now divided into Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan.
Wayne county itself, instead OF Its
narrow limits of 400 square miles
once embraced almost everything
north of it to the lakes, the territory
which Is now northern Indiana and
the state of Michigan.
That was in 1900, before the terri
tory was settled. AS the population
increased, the counties contracted,
and new ones were formed rapidly
In 1911, Wayne county extended from
Franklin county north along the ONO
state boundary, to the line OF purchase
made at Fort Wayne in 1909, to Fort
Recovery.
In 1917 in The Western Gazetteer
or Emigrants' directory, the boundar-
les of the county were given as "The
state of Ohio on the east, on the south
by the county of Franklin, On the west
and north by Indian lands" TWO
years before, in 1915, it was one OF
IS counties. It's population then how
ever, was already $500 out of total
of 10000 in the territory.
