New York, Oct. 2.-The tide OF
immigration from Europe into the
United States IS rapidly mounting
toward pre-war levels. Six months
ago more aliens were sailing away
from America than were sailing in,
but now the flood has turned and
there are more than twice as many
alien arrivals as departures. With
The sudden influx, the immigration
problem has become one of the most
serious questions the next congress
will have to deal with.
For weeks Ellis Island, the great
gateway, has been choked. The
detentions are so many that the
island is congested to double its ca
pacity. One night a week or so
ago 5,5lo immigrants were detained
in quarters with sleeping accommo-
lations for l,500-the largest crowd
il the history of the island. A night
with 5000 is nothing unusual nov
Ships have been forced to tie up
for days before discharging steerage
passengers. Thousands of examina-
tons have had TO be made at the
docks instead OF the island. Cots
are being installed to take care of
the arrivals, and a staff of extra in
spectors is being recruited. Fred
crick A. Wallace, the new commits
sioner, who has done much to shut
manize' Ellis Island since June. only
recently got authority from Wash
ington to increase the force to some
thing like adequate proportions.
Many Arrivals Destitute.
The destitute and the diseased arc
clamoring for admission in numbers
not before equalled. On the other
side the Atlantic, the bars seem to
be all down and passengers are TAX
en- aboard ship without regard as to
whether the United States will re-
gard them as "undesirables." The
hospital of the island, with capac-
:ty of $50 beds now has SIS patients,
many with diseases that will lead to

Protection
On Pacific
Navy Wholly Unprepared to
Defend Coast in Case
Japan Should De-
clare War.
Appropriations Are Small

Washington. Oct. 3.-If war with
Japan should be the outcome of the
controversy over the immigration
question. the United States would
be wholly unprepared to fight ef-
tectively in the Pacific ocean.
Even If the two halves of the navy
IN the Atlantic and Pacilc oceans
could be united successfully into a
smoothly operating unit off the west
coast, the nations sea forces would
be unable to operate effectively be-
cause OF the almost total lack of
facilities of supply and repair. Meth
.sr on the Pacilc coast, in the
Hawaiian islands, nor in the Phil
ippines are the naval bases capable
OF meeting the requirements of the
present Pacific fleet, much less the
entire navy. Without naval bases a
navy is well-nigh useless.
A special board of naval officers
created by Secretary Daniels,
mapped out comprehensive pro-
gram for the establishment of the
Pacific ocean bases that would be
vitality necessary in the event of
war. Its plans called for the COM
pletion of these bases in from three
to five years.
Congress Cuts Appropriations.
Mr.. Daniesls asked congress for
some of the initial appropriations
proposed by the board in order to
get this important work under way
at once. Congress scaled down most
of the amounts asked, and in the
case of the most important bases
proposed, withheld action entirely
pending investigation by a joint
committee of the house and senate.
The estimated cost of all the bases
recommended aggregates $l58,0OO,-
600.
If congress should act favorably
on the project at the next session,
it would still require from three to
five years to prepare the nation for
waging effective war on the Pacific
ocean.
The special board reported that
"The Hawaiian islands furnished the
key to the whole of the eastern Pa
cific." and urged that Pearl harbor
be developed in connection with the
l,arbor OF Honolulu as first-class'
and complete naval base, remarking
that the present facilities of Peasl-
harbor are entirely inadequate to
care for the Pacific fleet in time of
1peace and of course totally made
quate to take care of any movement,
either aggressive or otherwise"
Urge Immediate Action.
The board recommended that this
naval base be completed within five
years, and that the 1920 appropria-
ton bill provide for the construction
Of works costing eventually approxi-
mately $2s,000000.
Secretary Daniels approved con-

CLl0NlANS DEFEAT
E. B.C.'S IN DEBATE

By as narrow margin as is pos
sible in debate before jury Of three
judges the Clionian Society team con-
sisting of Leone Shrum, Anna Sad,
and Agnes Skurdall met and defeated
the E. B. C. Society team last Satur-
day night in the series of elimination
debates being held this term. The E.
B. C. debaters were Peter Munkeby,
Harold Watson, and Claude Logue.
This was the second debate in which
the E. B. C. Society took part and the
team upheld the affirmative Of the
question. Individual placing gave
Anna Sad first place and Leone Shrum
second place. The judges for this de-
bate were Miss Lydia Kreutz and
Miss Cora Jean Smith of the Training
School and Mr.. M. w. Hancock of
the Department of Psychology.
While this eliminates the f. B. c.
Society from further participation
leading to the final decision we wish
to commend the boys for their spirit
and enterprise. They have done re-
markably we'll considering that in
numbers they have but handful. The
field for selection was small yet they
were able to get a team that has made
a good impression.

DIR. C.E, ALLEN HAS
BIRTHDAY SHOWER

Somehow or other-no one knows
exactly how -- the information was
passed from mouth to car that, like
other human beings, our president oc-
casiorally has birthday, the said day
being on February T. This day
CHANGED to be last Saturday. A few
of the brave spirits among the faculty
also discovered in some mysterious
way that a certain species of candy
particularly appeals to the sweet tooth
of President Allen. All day long pack
ages large and packages small gradu-
ally came to his desk, in short, there
was real shower as such things are
called in romantic literature these
days. There were congratulations"
chest Wishes" "wish you many more"
and so on. Faculty members had lot
of fun anyway. A bouquet of beauti-
full roses and other flowers were
among the tokens of the day which
came in behalf of the faculty collect
lively and individually. One large box
on which was seen the names of some
of the really young women of the fac
ulty bore this legend: can antidote to
lemon drops" We haven't heard any
person say just what number Of birth
day President Allen had. The editor
of this paper didn't have the nerve"
to start an investigation. We rather
think it is up to Mr.. Wemett. Don't
you?

thing in order is to question the
''facts" hot his veracity, but his abil-
ity to discriminate the facts. A
"clairvoyant" may battle us; but we
should know that if she is clairvoyant
she could make more money on the
board Of trade in one hour than she
can make in lifetime at small fees.
We may not be able to know how
some Of the battling things are done,
but it is we'll to remember that it is
a detective that is needed and not a
psychologist. In the case of the So
called communications with the dead,
I am inclined to think that we should
find the suggestion of the solution by
introspection into our own almost in
finitely complex nature, where the
possibilities Of self-deception are as
yet beyond computation.
