Foreigners Returning

The foreign-born are leaving Viii
mingtOn 100 a week since the war has
closed. When the World Wan broke
out thousands fled their native land to
keep out of the fight. They came TO
the United States, have earned a small
fortune. and will now return to bul!d
up their country.
Perhaps nine-tenths of those who
are securing either receipts from the
Internal Revenue office in Wilmington
or statements showing that they did
not make enough in the present year
to pay the tax, are Italians, the local
office estimates. They must present
these receipts before taking passage
to their old homes in sunny Italy. The
other one-tenth applying at the Rev
enue office includes all different ma
tionalities, with the SWedes, perhaps
in the lead.
The wal is over in the old countries
and many of the foreign-born, who
made high wages during the wal have
saved much and are returning to the
land of their birth.
The postwar exodus Of foreign
born is not peculiar to Wilmington
alone. In other cities, especially the
larger centers, many are leaving. IN
Chicago, for instance, between 100
and 200 persons daily make appllca-
ton for passports to Europe.
This condition is characteristic OF
every community in the United States
having a large foreign population, ac-
cording to James Pepper, deputy IN
ternal revenue collector in Chicago.
Figures compiled by Pepper, who col
lects the federal tax on all outgoing
show that approximately
100000 daily is taken out of Chicago
by these granted passports.
Pertinent reasons, said Pepper, must
be produced before passports to allied
and neutral countries are granted.
Enemy countries are taboo. The ma
iority of applications in Chicago come
from French, Russians, Belglans, Ser
bians and Rumanians, who advance
property and family interests as rea-
SON. for return.
Russians believe they can find great
er political freedom in their native
land. Jugo-Slavs express a desire TO
Join their country's army.
While permits are granted freely TO
people of allied and neutral countries,
Russians are given scant considera-,
ton. as the great majority are held
to entertain Bolshevik ideas.

Stock Purchase Upheld

The suit over the sale of I. Cole
man duPont's stock in E. l. DUPONT de
Nemours Powder Company to Pierre
S. dupont and his associates comprls-
ing the dupont Securities Company
was appealed last month to the United
States Supreme Court by Philip +.
DUPONT. Alfred |. DUPONT and others
who comprise the plaintiffs and who
have lost N the United States District
Court and in the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
On Monday the L. S. Supreme
Court dismissed the suit, in Washing
ton, and put an end to a family con-
troversy that comprised millions.
When Pierre dupont and others
bought the stock of 7. Coleman DUPONT
it was worth II millions. Now 1t IS
worth 81 million dollars.
A Remarkable Case
This decision brings to a close one
of the most remarkable suits ever
brought in this country. 1t was hled
in the United States District Court m
Wilmington. December s, 1915, and
has been carried through all the legal
bv-ways possible. Before the trial,
which opened June %, 1916, there had
been many moves and counter moves
in preparation for the actual court APP
p~earance Of the plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS.
The trial took a month, and it was
another nine months before a decision
was handed down on April y, 1917.
This decision was against the defend
ants, but it stipulated that the whole
question at issue, involving the owner
Ship of more than S50,000,000 should
be submitted to a vote of the stock
holders of the DUPONT Company.

FRENCH WIVES in AMERICA.
(From the Hartford Times.)

If these thousands of young French
wives of American soldiers will share
some of the charming secrets of
French femininity with their Ameri-
can sisters; if they will publish the
art of making salad, the knack Of
making soup; if they will communi-
cate the insight and the dainty touch
that transform mere dress into a
distinctive costume expressive OF the
best traits of the wearer; if they will
teach the deft art of placing a chair
and arranging flower so as to give
charm to an apartment and to lend
the indefinable air of distinction and
elegant simplicity which is so char
acteristically French; and above all,
if they will radiate everywhere their
happy heritage of good nature, vivac-
ity and cheerful acceptance of cir
cumstances, and exemplify French
genius for the elegance of simplicity
and the good breeding of economy,
they in their turn will place the homes
of America greatly in their debt.
