COMMONWEALTH
FOUR YEARS OLD
SEPTEMBER 1ST
THE DAILY COMMONWEALTH
MOVED INTO NEW HOME
ON ITS BIRTHDAY.

The Daily Commonwealth moved
into the papers new home on its
fourth birthday yesterday, septem.
Der lst--but in the hurly-hurly Of
moving day" We forgot to make
mention Of the important anniver-
sary event.
Four years ago we undertook the
| strenuous task of establishing and
| publishing a daily newspaper in
Greenwood, with Associated Press
news service.--arid some of our citizens
doubted whether the venture would
rove successful and frankly told US
that we were fixing to go broke. But
we brushed aside all such discourage
ment and took hold of the proposition
With a determination to make The
| )aily Commonwealth a complete sue
cess from start to finish, and have
scored the phenomenal record of max
ing every issue Of the paper take
good care of itself for every day of
its career
The paper is pow on its journey
the fifth milestone with splendid
prospects for continued SUCCESS. The
only promise we have to make is to
do our level best to render the pa
irons of the paper the same satisfac-
ory service that we have endeaVored
give in the past.
When our new Linotype is INSTALL
ed and some other equipments have
been added to the plant, we will be
enabled to somewhat improve the
news service Of the paper, and to
give better attention to our job print
ing department, which Is splendidly
equipped for good quality work In
that line.
The good people of Greenwood and
LefIore county have made it possible
for us to establish on firm basis
first-class daily newspaper in this
city. and we shall continue our et-
forts to please them to the best OF
our ability.

ed plans for improving conditions in
general on the island. Larger build
ings are to be asked, sanitary
conditions improved, additional cots
provided for those unable to get beds
an dother convenienees for the immi-
grant are to be installed.
Kind aud descent treatment for all
new arrivals has been demanded by
Commissioner Wallis who has al
ready announced the discharge Of
some of the veteran attendants for
alleged harshness or incfficiency in
receiving immigrants. Their places
have been filled by more courteous,
attentive and younger men,

station representative Of all Ameri-
ca promises he said.
Commissioner Wallis asserted that
he planned to install baths at the
Island in order that every indiyidu-
al entering the country will be given
bath and have his clothes steriia-
ed before he enters the station.
"Thcy made our soldiers do this"

ward preventing disease from enter
ing our gates and will have great
moral and physiological effect"
One of the latest improvements by
Commissioner Wallis has been the
supplying Of warm milk to mothers
with babies. This was done as soon
as the commissioner had learned that
chilled milk made infants sick.
When he learned that hundreds of
immigrants were jammed in the de-
tention pens the commissioner ORDER
ed the liberation af the occupants
and gave them the freedom Of the
large examination hall,
Commissioner Wallis has appealed
to Washington to remove the alleg
ed radicals and anarchists detained
at the island for deportation, because
of crowded conditions at immigra-
tion station.
"They are defiant lot and should
be deported," he said. "They occue
py a room that could accommodate
couple of hundred immigrants"
Railroads have also been asked by
the commissioner to provide bettef
transportation facilities for the inn
migrants and stop employees from
"grafting" from the newcomers. He
also wants them to be properly fed
while being detained for entrainment.
While funds are not Immediately
available for improvements at the Is
land, Commissioner Wallis said, he
will ask Congress to provide the mo-
ney. He said that he had already
asked permission to raise funds by |

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2--Many
Americans of German or Austrian
descent throughout the United States,
are constantly inquiring of any sour
re of information whether the time
has vet arrived when their relatives
and friends in those countries can
R come to America and what restrict
ions are imposed upon such immi-
grafton,
# Some are patiently waiting until
all restraint is lifted when the Unit
N ed States and Germany shall have
@ made peace. Others betray impat-
M ence because nearly two years have
ID elapsed since the termination of hos
~ tilities and the ban has not yet been
# raised.
N Those who appeal to the State De-
partment have been informed that
N citizens Of Germany and Austria may
obtain admittance to the United
n States only through circumstances Of
Il compelling appeal" under regula-
N tiOnslaid down by that department.
II They are told that wartime restric-
II tons against enemy aliens still hold

Il der unusual circumstances the pass

after the aliens reach the United

Germans and Austrians who may
obtain authorization to enter the u
nited States must fall within he fol
lowing classifications:
Business men who can prove cDii-
clusively that their visit will be of
advantage to American business in
terests.. In such cases letters of re-
eommendation must accompany the
application from an American firm
establishing the necessity for the Vi

Aged parents Of naturalized Amer

en- that such parents are dependent
upon their naturalized American chill
dren for their support.
American born women who have
married German or Austrian citizens.
Relatives of naturalized American
citizens who can prove their depend
ency upon such citizens,
Service in the German army is
held to preclude admission of any
German citizen who might claim
right of entrance under any Of the
foregoing circumstances.
Because of the absence from Ger
many and Austria of American dip

ing the establishment Of peace be-
tween the United States and those
countries German and Austrian citi-
zens find it difficult to obtain an A

desiring to visit the United States
must either go to country in which
there are American diplomatic or con-

partment in Washington.

were admitted to this country in 1919,
