IMMIGRATION LAW BARS TITLED
 WOMEN FROM RETURN TO U. s.
Former American Girls Now Wives of European Nobles Are Liable to Deportation, Like Poor Aliens When Quotas Of Their Nationalities Become Filled.

the war friends of the Countess would not be surprised to hear of her de- c1S4On to return home any time.
 Many Possible Victims. Another possible victim of the laws operation is the Duchess of Croy, for merly Miss Nancy Leishman, of Pitts burgh, daughter of a former Anbas- sador to Berlin. They were married in October, 1913, the Duke being a descendant of the ancient royal house of Hungary. In the eyes of the Ger man law it was a morganatic mar riage and the young American wom- ans title was not officially recognized A son was born to this couple :n Oc- tober. 1914.
 Still another feminine title holder reported to be casting longing eyes toward her native American shores is the Countess Marie di Zoppola. for merly Miss Edith Mortimer, laughter of the Stanley Mortin1ers and one of the best known beauties of New York, Newport and Long Island society. She became the bride of the Count then an Italian aviator, in June, 1879, the ceremony taking place at the home of the brides parents at Ros1yn, L. l.
 Miss Mortimer, it will be recalled was indicted on a charge of man slaughter after an automobile she was but the indictment was dismissed. Owing to the publicity of the case the couple kept their wedding place a secret until the Iast minute.
 The Countess De Lasteyrie. ror1ner- " Miss Constance Whitney Warren daughter of Mrs. George Henry War ren. of this city, is still another for mer American woman who has cause to be interested in the new innn.,gra- ton ban. She is now living in Paris She was married to the Count in.19I2 at the Warren home, No. 924 F.f+h avenue. The Counts family as one of the most distinguished of French nobility.
 True any of these women would be permitted merely to visit tn cir h orl1e country at any time they chose They might even prolong the 'visits'' in definitely. If the Immigration auth critics have reason to suspect any of these visits however, they are an thcrized to require the ttvisitor'' 10 put np a bond which would be liable to forfeiture and the giver subjac. to deportation at the expiration of six months.

ICELANDERS SEE
 THEIR FIRST KING

Reykjavik, Iceland, July 21-The first King of Iceland set foot for the first time yesterday on Icelandic soil The welcome extended by the island CTS to Christian x, of Denmark and also of Iceland, bore a solmenly fer vent character; apparently more sol emn than was anticipated by the gay easy-going crowd of Danish visitors who had come over for the occasion
 The 1celanders themselves took their Kings visit tremendously seri- ously, and regarded it as an event of momentous import The majority of the capitals 1s,00O inhabitants spent the day around the public school building, which was made the official residence of the Danish royalties, and rebaptized ''the Castle" Raykjavik' s 190 automobiles were taxed heavily carrying important looking uniformed and decorated dignitaries to and from "the Castle.''

 Most of the rare liquors and wines are now being brought. across the Canadian boundary. The vast stretches of territory in that region are protected by a mere handful Of enforcement officers.

 Washington, July 2o--If Will H. Hays. the dininutive dynamo now presiding over the world g greatest Postal Service, doesn't quit fooling around and experimenting with things, some of these days any farm CT in the country is going to be able to put up. a thingumajig in a. peach tree in his backyard and find out in I<stantly what steel is selling for in New York, what wheat and hogs are bringing in Chicago, and the market prices of oranges in sunny California
 It may sound fantastic, but it's true. Not only will the farmer have his market reports brought right to the peach tree in his backyard, but he also will have the governmental weather reports from the same tree which will enable him to decide whether it's safe to figure on cutting wheat or hay tomorrow.
 All this is going to be accomplish ed, Hays believes, through the deveY opment of wireless telephony and the cooperation Of the United States De Postoffice Department
 The groundwork already has been iald ana IS being added to daily. It IS not generally known that right now market reports are going out of Washington several times daily from the big radio station at the Postoffice Experiment..

Washington, July 21-Hooch hunt ing is becoming gradually less diff cult. Hunters for fine Yhiskey, wines and other liquors also are becoming more discriminating.
 Plentiful liquor supplies in the large centers are said by prohibition officers to be due to an unprecedent- ed inflow of rare brands of intoM- cants from abroad.
 Imported liquors of Scotch, Irish, English and French manufacture are pouring into the United States through the poorly-guarded gate ways the coasts and borders.
 Dry-law chiefs, cutting down their already small staffs of agents, be- cause of depleted funds allotted for the remainder of the fiscal year by Congress, merely gasp and confess they are powerless to stop the impor- tations.
 Bootleg centers. finding it easier to obtain the foreign liquors and in much greater quantities than the old familiar brands of American make. are quoting attractive prices for their wares.
 Officials are advised that whiskey brought in over the Canadian and Mexican borders, is finding it's way quickly into. the large consuming g cities, and the methods of transport

 NEW REGIONS

London, July 21-Regions that would have to wait many years be- fore they could be traversed by rail- ways are now quickly mastered by aerial transport. News comes today from the Air Ministry that a new air route has been opened up across the desert between Palestine and Mesopo- tamia- Notification has been receiv- ed of the arrival at Bagdad of three airplanes of the Royal Air Force which have flown over this route.
 The new route is about $50 miles Hong. It is an extension of the pres ent Cafro-Ram1eh route. It starts from Ramleh, where is the main Royal Air Force aerodrome in Pal estine, passes through Amman tEast of the Jordan) and Kasr Azrak where landing grounds have been ; prepared, and proceeds thence in an almost straight line across the Arab ian desert to Ramadie on the Eu- pirates and thence to Baglad
 The distances between the pr1nci- pal stations are as follows: Ramleh to Amman, 65 miles; Amman to kasr Azrak, 55 miles; Kasr Azrak to Ramadie, 400 miles; Ramadie to Bag dad. 50 miles,

New York. July 21-One effect of the drastic enforcement of the new Immigration law here and at other ports will be to provide a serious ob- stacle to the homecoming plans of several American women who have sacrificed their American citizenship for foreign titles, the Customs off cials discovered. recently. It is with in the range of possibility that some . of the homesick ones may have to prolOnS their residences abroad indef- in:tely for another year at least.
 Under the law only 8 per cent of the nationls residing here when the 1910 census was taken may be ad- mitted in any one year hereafter. Immigration officials say the provis- ion will be enforced against the rich and poor. immigrants alike, cabin ahoad ship along with their breth- ern in the steerage until Washington can rule on their admissibility under the quta clause of the law.
 Many Quotas Already Filled.
 Arrivals reaching New York or other ports after the quota is filled will be turned back. Several national ities are alfeady nearing their quota tically filled already for this month. If any of the expatriated women should therefore arrive to find the quota filled by unforeseen arrivals at this and other ports there would be nothing for her to do but engage pas sage back to Europe and wait for an other try in the future.
 One of the women with cause to worry under Uncle San's tightening restrictions is the Countess Anton Sigray. who before her marriage was Miss Harriet Daly, daughter of the late Marcus Daily, and heiress to large part of the fortune which he made in copper. This couple met at the wedding of Count, Laszlo Szech- enyi and Miss Gladys Vanderbilt here in 1908 and were married by Anbas- sador Gerard. who represented the United States at Berlin up to the be- ginning of the war.
 The count served in the war as a lieutenant of the Third Hussars of Germany and was at one time re- ported to have been taken prisoner by the Russians. In view of severe eco- homie conditions in Germany since
