the ground below. Mr.. Bennett shut
off the engine, and tearing the reas
curtains apart, the occupants crawl

the fires under the great

warned that America was being made
the dumping ground for the undesir

the adoption OF a test for immigrants
which would judge a foreigners desir

Judge Stone in his address male n
strong point of the fact hat there are
100000 aliens in this country who
owe no allegiance TO the American
