the spread Of typhus, and to prevent
any but clean emigrants from embark
ing for this country. The foreign gov
ernments, however, do not seem to agree
with this view. The Italian government,
in fact, has even resented the charge that
any infected immigrants could possibly
come from Italian shores, although the
fact remains that they have.
To avoid the congestion in New York
harbOr, many steamship lines are now
diverting their vessels to other ports,
notably Boston and Philadelphia. From
these points the immigrants come to New
York by rail, thus making 1t necessary
for the city health department to keep
inspection squads also at the railway
stations. Fortunately, here the New York
Travellers Aid Society has come to the
rescue and is taking care of family
groups while their various members are
removed for examination and fumigation.
Sometimes while a husband is sent
away to be freed from vermin," one of
the Travellers Aids told the reporter, 1.-The
wife thinks he is being dragged of to
Siberia. Then we have to rush our inter
prefer to the scene to explain che mat
ter to her. So many of the people are
war refugees, who have already suffered
so much that their anxteties are easily
aroused"
If the man is detained for any great
length Of time. the aids see that the chill
dren get food and that the family OBJ
tains proper lodgings. Sometimes as
many as twenty five such families must
be taken care of out of a group OF a
hundred or more who come through on
one train.
While precautions against the typhus
cootle are ever becoming more systema-
tized, the congestion remains unrelieved
at the port Of New York. The health
authorities are putting up valiant fight
against tremendous handicaps. They
need more men, and more facilities. Con-
gress, they say, could solve the whole
typhus emergency at once by ordering q
cessation Of immigration until the
disease subsidized in Europe. but Congress
has its own reasons for desiring immi-
grafton to continue. The least then, thar
1T can do is to authorize an increase in
the size Of the force and working ma
terials at Hofman's and Ellis Island
and thus help to prevent the spread Of
the plague.
