EM|GRANT FLOW
T0U. S. UNCHECKED
|, 100000 UndesirabIes Seek
to Cross Atlantic; Swamp
Ships.

BERLIN, December 15.-Emigration
to the United States from Central Eu-
rope has reached a stage where it
threatens to dump into America near
ly 1O00.000 of the most undesirable
peoples of Europe" says an official
of the American State Department
who has been watching the recent
exodus with much concern.
The emigrants are principally from
, Russia and Poland. and large num-
bers of them, who are very poor, have
| been directly associated with money
and advice from America, the cor
respondent was told. Consular offices
are swamped with their applications
for passports and steamship accom-
modstions are inadequate to carry all
who have permits to sail.
There is virtually no check on this
movement. which beyond any ques-
ton must soon be a. most serious
ent was informed. AN effort has
been made to keep out the so-called
reds but that, too, is futile. for it
is impossible to investigate the ap-
plican carefully enough to exclude
undesirables.
The only thing that can be done.
seems to me, is a new immigration
law sharply curtailing this business
of dumping the down-and-out of Eu-
rope upon our shores. And that, too.
is going to be a difficult thing. for
there always will be the possibility of
discrimination against classes that
would make valuable citizens II i'm
migration should be stopped entirely
Tor Few yearS-say five-we might
wake up to the situation in America
and seek way out Of the trouble.
The governments agents have been
doing their best to meet the emer-
gency with the machinery Of the law,
but that is pitiably Inadequate About
all that can be done is to send De-
partment of Justice agents to New
YORK and warn the grafters and the
more radical promoters of this i'm
migration that they must not resort
TO Illegal means. Some Of them who
were reaplng rich rewards out Of the
passport business-pretending to Sc
cure proper papers for sums paid in
hand-have been frightened off. but
there are others still at work,
one OF these grafters moved to
Berlin and probably is doing a thrfy-
ing business. Nothing can be done
about it. He is within the law as far
as we are concerned. He may go out
and collect any amount of fees for
assisting immigrants to secure pass
poIts-and whether he succeeds in
settlng the papers, which cannot be
heid up II the applicant meets all re-
qulrements or not, he can keep the
money. The applicant won't 'squeal.'
however, such men are only a part
OF the scheme operating to shift the
immigrants into America"

CRISIS IS REACHED
CBy, the Associated Press1


All advices today indicate that the
situation in Poland. from the Polish
allied standpoint, is approaching a
crisis.
The Polish delegation which went to
Baranovitchi to negotiate an armistice
not only failed to obtain terms from
the Russians but was sent back to
Warsaw by the soviet authorities, who
demanded that the emissaries obtain
a mandate to take up peace negotia-
tons
This will delay the beginning of the
armistice negotiations until tomorrow,
at the earliest.
Meanwhile the resistance Of the
Polish army. which apparently had
been stiffening; has again relaxed un-
der the tremendous pressure of the
Bolshevik armies. Warsaw. from
which the Russians now are only sixty
miles distant, seems critically menaced
if not doomed to capture.
Americans remaining there have re-
ceived official intimation that they
I stay at their own risk.
Coincident with the serious military
developments comes an announce
ment from Moscow that a soviet gov
ernment has been set up in the por-
tions of Poland which the Bolsheviki
have overrun-

BOIsheviki Demand Peace Pact
Instead of Delegates.
All Negotiations Delayed Until
August 4.

Paris Aug. 3.-(1:3O p. m. ).-Arml-
stice negotiations between the Poles
and the BoIshevlki have been broken
off and the Polish delegates are re-
turning to Warsaw, according to for
eign office advices today.
The Bo1sheviki demanded that the
Polish delegates discuss peace terms.
To this, the Poles replied that they
were only authorized to deal with the
armistice conditions.
Negotiations for an armistice. the
foreign office learned, will probably
be resumed August 4.
With this development came news
that the first ana fourth Polish armies
defending Warsaw had been disas-
trously defeated and were in full re-
treat, with the main Russian army
forty-eight miles from the Polish
capital
Foreign office advices said the
Polish counter offensive near Bpody
had collapsed, and that there was
fierce fighting between the Bug and
the Marrow rivers.
The Bolsheviki, it was unofficially
reported, told the Poles to go back to
Warsaw and get authority to enter
into peace negotiations The next
meeting will probably be at Minsk-

''Workmen: You are instructed TO
vote for Edwards Rooney for attorney
general" is the wording on the dodger.
1t carries no signature, merely a union
label. But the falsity of the demand
is apparent on its face. The union
label does not give a number-hence
is not the legitimate product of a
recognized union print ship.
1t is not known whether practices
similar to those used here have been
adopted in other industrial ceAters in
Kansas. If so, 1t is Quite certain that
someone will encounter large
amount of trouble with the organized
labor forces when the facts are known.
The circular tends to prejudice both

use strong arm political methods, as
soon as the dodger is read.
Rooney fatty denied any association
with the scheme and placed RESPONSE
bility at the door of Richard j. Hop

1T is a campaign trick by the Hop
kins forces" Rooney declared today.

have not seen one. Such policies and
practices are simply dirty politics in

That there was ample knowledge
by the Hopkins crowd as to the use OF
the circular, was made clear this
morning. The Kansas City (Mo.)

carried the story of the circular and
its exact wording. It was the only pa
per which received the story, which
seemingly came from the inner circles
of some organization.
