POOR COME FROM MANY LANDS
Forsake Their Own Soil for the Dream
Of America--Hordes That Returned

FIocking Back.

New YOrk.-Once again a suffering,
congested Europe is piping Its worn
and motley peasantry to the United
States. Not record of ancient ma
lions is In existence which can tell n
tale of such a flow of humanity.
From Italy is heard the report that
no less than 100000 have booked pas
sage for the dreamland.

striped and shapeless baggage, wind

The tide of immigrants has swelled
week by week, until last week the

clogged and choked.
Five giant liners attempted to I'M

It were, and Ellis island was jammed
So an embargo was imposed. For AZ
hours no bright-eyed immigrant climbed
down on the island from a steerage
gangway.
Those that had landed were packed
into the narrow sleeping quarters. The
island is o tight little island in any
event, and the quarters were never
meant to accommodate thousands.
A curious body might tip-toe into the
quarters at night. They are sleeping
tight against one another, legs flung
out and twisted one over the other In

Former New York Society Lead

MORE POWER THAN CABINET
Resigns From American Red Cross
and Takes UP Work Among the
Arabs, to Which She Expects
to Devote Her Life.

Chicago.-Six years ago Mrs. Anna
l.. Fisher was an ordinary American
woman. Her sole claim TO distinction
lay in the fact that she was prominent
In society In New York, where she re-
sided.
That was before the war. Today
Mrs. Fisher Is captain in the Ara
bian army and the power behind the
throne In the regime of Emir Feisal.
The story of Mrs. Fishers sudden
rise 10 greater power In the Near East
Than is exerted by the League
Of Nations was brought to Chicago by
T.. Nj. Newman, who met her while on
his recent tour of the Near East.
Mrs. Fisher, interested In philan-
thropic work even before the war, en-
listed early In the Red Cross for serv-
ice in Armenia. There she came
in contact with the Arab, when Emir
Feisal. son of Hussein, king of Arabia,
raised great army and drove the
Turk from Armenia. The present
ruler OF the Arabs Immediately be-
came interested In this intelligent
American woman and sought her adj
vice on the many problems which con-
fronted him In his struggle to put
Arabia on firm basis.
More Power Than Cabinet.
II was not long before Mrs. Fisher
was possessed of more power than
any member Of the cabinet. She re-
signed from the Red Cross and began
her work among the Arabs, to which
she expects to devote her life. Mrs.
Fisher was promoted to the full rank
OF captain In the Arabian army and
after the occupation of Damascus by
Feisal, Joined him In his new capital.
She has since been his most intimate
adviser.
II was as result of Mrs. Fishers
advice that Feisal retreated to the
mountains when the French threat
ened Damascus with destruction and
later went to England to demand that
the promise made him during the war

PAPER CLOTHES IN JAPAN
Much Might Be Saved by Adopting
kimono as Everyday
Dress

The japanese have had paper clothes
for many years and some of the most
attractive kimonos in the Far East
are tailored of wood pulp. An ex-
pert on Japan insists that the layman
will find 1t hard to distinguish these
kimonos from the expensive silk wrap
pers. Everybody In Japan wears XII
monos," he remarked, according to the
New York Evening Post, "and the pa
per garments are very Popular and in
expensive. For about S1.50 you can
buy kimono that looks like $50
outfit-and feels like 1t, too. The pa
per is soft and pliable and 1t can be
draped gracefully about the figure. If
Americans, men, women and children
alike. could be converted to the XII
mono as everyday dress, paper clothing
might become the only wear"

LOCAL COUNCIL TO Be !
HOST TO STATE LABOR

Pendleton's Central Labor Council
last night took steps toward organiza-
tion for the convention of the State
Federation of Labor, which will open
here on Sunday, September 10. and
close on Wednesday evening. Septem-
Der %. The local labor leaders defi-
nitely decided to accept the conven-
ton. which had been awarded last
year to La Grande.
Sandy McLain. secretary of the
council, is head of the committee
which will have charge of arrange
ments. He has already outlined plans
to obtain housing facilities for the 800
or more delegates expected from all
over Oregon. A big dance for the
delegates, to be held in the Labor
temple. is one of the features of the
entrtainmnt alrady providd for. Most
of the delegates are expected to re-
main for the three days of the Round
Up and derive considerable added en-
tertainment thus.
There will be double sessions held
and meetings will be held mornings,
and evenings in order to
close up the business in four days
time. The state federation is n large
body and has a great amount of busi
ness to transact.
Local labor is solid behind the move
to bring the convention here and ad
plans for the reception of the
delegates will be announced later.
Although the convention will entail
hard work on the part of many local
labor leaders from this time hence, it
will not deter them from planning OBJ
of Labor Day. Secretary Nc
Lain said today. No plans are yet for
for Labor Day but 1t will be
observed as fittingly as usual, he said
