New and important Safeguards

Several important new safeguards
went into effect August / in all parts
OF the United States regarding plants
and plant products whose introduction
into this country is restricted or pro-
hibited by quarantine or other orders
of the United States department of
agriculture. The new regulations have
just been issued by the secretary of
agriculture and pertain to the arrival
of prohibited and restricted plants
carried on vessels arriving at ports
where entry or landing is not intend
ed. The provisions supplement regu-
lations which have been in force for
several years relating to entry for Inn
mediate export and entry for immedi-
ate transportation and expectation in
bond of prohibited plants and plant
products. The enforcement of the
guarantees of the department OF agri-
culture at ports of entry has shown
the necessity for more adequate safe
guards with respect to restricted and
prohibited plants or plant products
where entry or landing at a port is
not intended. These safeguards have
now been provided, making less like

TURNING OUR WAY
ALIENS ARRIVING SAID TO BE
DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF

Thousands Leaving Europe for Land
Of Free, Many Of Whom Will Un-
doubtedIy Not BE Admitted,
Being undesirables.

New York.-The tide of immigration
from Europe into the United States
is rapidly mounting toward prewar
levels. Six months ago more aliens
were sailing away from America than
there 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 de-
tentions are so many that the island
is congested to double it's capacity.
One night week or so ago 1919 inn
migrants were detained in quarters
with sleeping accommodations for
1500-the largest crowd in the history
of the island. A night with 5000 is
nothing unusual now.
Ships have been forced to tie up
for days before dischargng steerage
passengers. Thousands of examina.

instead of the island. Cots are still
being installed to take care of the
excess, and staff of extra inspect
ors is being recruited.
The destitute and the diseased are
clamoring for admission In numbers
not before equaled. On the other
