REGENT IMMIGRANTS
 ARE MOSTLY WOMEN

New York, April 4.-Foreign war widows, who are pensioners of their governments, and other industrial non- producers mostly women, consti- ute the larger part of the immigrants now coming to this country, according to a statement issued here today by the inter-raeial- council, of which Coleman DuPont is chairman.
 Of the total immigration over a pe- riod of several months the immigra- tion officials of this port state that women and girls have formed not less than so per cent. and that in the last few weeks they have outnumbered the men two, and sometimes three, to one. So marked has been the relative in- crease of women immigrants that the I.fact appears to be well established, the council declares. that some of the for iegn governments are enforcing a pol icy which encourages and stimulates the emigration of women. but which places obstacles in the way of able bodied male workers who may wish l to come to the United States.
 l Meanwhile, emigration from Amer ica IS made up almost entirely of men who have given up employment in fac tories, mills and mines to return tc their homeland, taking with then savings estimated conservatiyelv al 5000 for each emigrant. Since tho signing of the arnistice 275 GOO emf grants have. left the country, and au. thorities believe that approximateI, 1.lZ5,Oo0 more will leave when pass port regulations and transporta flor conditions will permit.

Dublin. April 4.-(By The A. P.)- Easter demonstrations in Ireland did not develop into a spectacular effort of force against the government, which the adherents of the republ- can cause considered would be suici- dal, but there was a series of out rages in many parts of the island. The malcontents took new angle in their work when they attacked sixteen tax offices in many cities and towns, destroying the records in va rious ways. but for the most part by fire The attacks against police barracks and police nuts numbered thirty five. In most of the cases the police had left the barracks to go to eoncen- tration points in the larger cities. Where only women and children were left in the barracks or huts the raiders gave warning of their inten- l tions; hence there were no casual l ties.
 At Dublin Castle tonight it was said that the destruction of the tax records would avail nothing; all cit izens whose records have beer destroyed will be reassessed, and their taxes are likely to be increased by the needs of funds to replace tht barracks and huts destroyed
