We have been having a little ex-
citement down here but nothing TO
cause any lasting ripple. One day
last week, federal agents pulled the
corks out Of 240 quart bottles of high
grade liquor and poured il into the
sewer through the manhole back Of
the post Office. But to the credit
Of Miami. IL should be said that this

hibition agent of the southern dis

IL is reported that many sigh
fioated up to heaven as the fragrance
q tne sacrlnce assaulted the nos
trils Of the by-standers. II has been
said that the fish of Biscayne BAY
acted strangely for several hours as
the strange beverage mixed with
their native waters.
Our other bit of excitement was
the arresting Of three men as sus-
poets in the robbing of the u. s. s.
Satterlee at Norfolk. $4,000 was
the prize these men risked liberty
for. They shipped the money in
three suitcases 20 Miami and when
they came TO claim IL last Friday
two Of the men were arrested at
the Express Office. The other. and

lowing answers were taken, sc
it is said, from the examination
papers of a well-known New
England college for men:
Alien-a person hostile to this
country.
"a person against the gov
eminent.
"a person who is, say a
German in France during a war
between the two countries, is an
alien.
"a person hostile to this
country.
"a person who is on the
opposite side.
"a native of an unfriendly
country.
"a foreigner at war.
"a foreigner in a country
which has some connection with
his mother country WAR.
"a foreigner who tries to
do harm to the country he is IN.
an enemy from foreign
land.
"a person against a coun-
try.
"a person who is in a
country that has waged war
against his native country.
"a person of different
nationality to the country he is
in usually an enemy to the
country.
And here is what the dictionary
says of this same fearsome
creature, An Alien-"a foreign
born resident of a country in
which he is not naturalized."
How many knew more than the
college boys ? 1t is not a humor-
Gus matter because it shows that
we can educate specifically and
it also shows that we read super
ficially. Undoubtedly these ideas
of an alien originated mostly
from our war literature of alien
camps and the like, altho most
newspaper reports were careful
to state that these were alien
enemy. In our needless American
way, we just read the alien and
let if 60 at that. We have got
to learn to think straight before
we will act straight or legislate
straight.
We get many jingo reports
from Japan and it is well for us
to realize that there is another
element guiding the destiny of
the Flowery Kingdom, which is
fortunate for the peace of the
world. Rev. Mr. McNeal has spent
five years in Japan and he comes
home to tell us that he found
the educated and cultured
Jap nese a feeling of good
will and respect for the United
States. The reverend gentleman
also found that those Japanese
who had made good in America
and returned to Japan were an
element in our favor in molding
public sentiment. 1t is quite
possible that Japan is not as I'M
friendly as she has been painted,
but it will also be we'll to have
our eyes wide open in dealing
with the willy Japs.
The people of Holland have
decided that they need more
and and the only way they know
If to get it is TO make it, since
hey do not want to annex it
through war proceedings. They
propose to build a thirty-mile
like across the outlet of the
,uyder Zee. This dam presents
many engineering difficulties be-
tide its length as the Friesland
ihore end varies in water depth
rom eleven to thirty-three feet.
But as the Dutch have decided
o reclaim this land, they'll do
t for it beats the Dutch how
determined this little nation is.

PORTSMOUTH, Va, Sept. ia giant

theory that ships reported lost off this

The American Steamship Owners As
ISOLATION voted unanimously at It's regu-

Broadway to give preference to Ameri-
can citizens hereafter in engaging crews
for ships.
History" says a resolution which
was adopted. affords no example OF a
successful maritime nation that secured
the bulk OF its seagoing personnel from
another source than its own Inhabitants.
Hereafter a fixed preference shall be
given to competent Americans who are
rightfully entituei to such consideration
from all owners and operators Of Ameri-
can merchant ships"
The steamship owners also discussed
the bare boat charter plan of handling
the Government owned steel steamships.
A tentative plan to succeed the present
system has been worked out by COM
mittee, and the matter probably will be
taken up with the United States Ship
ping Board in Washington.

TROUBLES OF ALIENS
LAID TO SHIP AGENTS
President Blames Dishonest
Officials for Hardships Of
Immigrants.

Dishonest steamship agents are re-
sponsible for the hardships suffered by
immigrants who come to this country
only to find themselves barred by the
restrictive immigration law. President
Harding declared in letter received
yesterday by Representative Isaac Siegel
Of New York.
Mr.. Siegel. member of the House
Committee on immigration and Natural
ization, wrote to the President asking
his Intervention in the enforcement OF
immigration laws. He said that parents
were being admitted to this country and
many other hardships were being put
upon immigrants.
In his reply Mr.. Harding said:
II haven't any doubt In the world but
the enforcement Of the immigration laws
is working many hardships. My own
distress has been very great over some
OF the specific instances which have
been reported to me.
IF have the situation correctly pre-
sented the difficulty must be charged
to the dishonest steamship agents who
have brought to this country innocent
immigrants in spite OF our continued
warnings during a period of great len
iency. know how very persistent have
oeen the iynpositions which have been
made on the government agents who
have been disposed to be sympathetic
and more than generous in carrying out
the law.
However, / am sending your letter
10 the Department of Labor for further
information on the subject. have great
confidence In the Commissioner of I'M
migration and know that the Secretary
of Labor is one of the most human and
sympathetic men in all the land. II
there are conditions such as you suggest
| feel pretty confident that they are
absolutely unavoidable under tho law"
A conference will be held Friday by
Mr.. Siegel. Senator Calder, Assistant
Secretary of Labor Henning. Theodore
Risley Assistant Secretary of Labor. and
w. w. Husband, Commissioner-Genera
OF Immigration.

Mr.. Wood continued
Evaporation of manufactured wool

the question under existing economic
conditions. IL must be realized that
Europe, especially Germany. Is making
goods at costs far below ours. Trade
follows the price. not the flag. These
products are going to come to this coun-

what extent 1t is practical and desirable
that we take part In this trade"
