Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRx HmALD.
New Y4rk Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. O.. July 20.
Unsettled labor conditions and prohi-
bition in the United States. among other
things. are held by Government officials
to be responsible for the failure of i'm
migrants to take immediate advantage
of the new quotas established with the
beginning of the fiscal year July I.
When the new fiscal year began some
persons. including many members of the
House and Senate. expected rush Of
immigrants TO get in before the new
quotas allowed to each nation were
filled. Reports were received of vessels
waiting in European ports to make runs
for American ports with loads of for
eigners anxious to get in when the bars
were temporarily lifted.
This rush did not develop and up to
July IL, when the latest compilations
were made, none Of the big countries
which supply to the United States most
of its immigrants. except Italy, had sent
one-fifth of the quotas permitted for
the month under the law.
immigration Commissioner Husband
thinks the unsettled labor conditions In
this country make It no more attractive
to prospective immigrants than their
home lands. The unemployment which
a few months ago menaced Europe has
gradually disappeared in MANI countries
and the prospective immigrants are able
to obtain work at home.
Tho fact that Italy alone has nearly
exhausted it's first months quota Of Inn
migrants is explained by Mr.. Husband
as being due to conditions in that coun-
try, which make it necessary to deport
at least 100000 persons yearly In order
to maintain an economic balance.
Under the new law the larger Euro
pean nations were allowed the following
quotas yearly:

Only One Country Has'Sent Anything Like Immigran
Quota Allowed.

migrants allowed to her the first month,
although this Is a large increase over
last year, when in the first full month
69g Germans cameto this country.
Commissioner Husband said that mo
beer in the United States," less unem-
ployment In Germany than in other
European countries and the low and
changing values of the mark are re-
sponsible for Germany failing to take
advantage of the newly established
quotas. t
The rush of italians Mr.. Husband
said IL due to the stagnant industrial
conditions existing In that country and
the fact that italy has more inhabitants
than It can support. An Italian immi-
grafton commissioner appointed by that
Government to find place for immi-
grants from that country, after a care
full survey of tho world, reported back
that ''there is no place in the world for
them to co. The commissioner de-
clared that all Europe was overmanned
and the only opportunity he could see
in both Americas was for men with
capital. There has been. however.
rush In Italy to take advantage of the
newly established American quota and
Mr.. Husband thinks 1t will be soon
exhausted.
France never has sent to this country
any larger number OF immigrants. Last
year only 4,343 came here from that
country, out of 5,729 allowed. Up to
July / only 14S had entered. as COM
pared with 355 for July last year. Mr..
Husband said there is superfiuity of
workmen In france, and thinks the
French-sove of wine and their native
country is responsible for the small num-
ber Of the immigrations to this country.
There is little difference between the
total number OF immigrants which had
entered this country up to July IL, as
compared with the same period last year.
During July, 1921, 2s.496 immigrants
came from Europe, compared with 1b,-
147 for the first twelve days OF the month
this year. Commissioner Husband ex-
poets that at the end Of the month the
figures will balance, with probably q
small decrease for this year. But the
majority Of immigrants so far have
come from italy, Great Britain. Sweden
and Germany, which contributed nearly
one-third of the total number from Eu-
rope. Last year during the month OF
July the same countries contributed
only one-fourth of the total to enter
during the period.

Latest News From Mars.

Mars is now in the position Of its
nearest approach to the earth, posi-
tion which occurs about every eigh-
teen years. The telescope of the
lowell Observatory at Flagstaff,
Arizona, is therefore trained upon
the planet whenever visibility per-
mits its effective use.
Telescopes of moderate power re-
veal areas Of brilliant whiteness in
the polar regions Of Mars, which in
crease in size with the elimination
of winter and gradually disappear
with the approach of summer. AS
the winter snow cap goes there comes
an increasing intensity of color In
the bands at the edges of the cir
cumpolar regions; deepening of the
markings regarded by LOWELL as seas
and canals also follows. All these
facts are generally accepted by as
tronomers; whether or not the canals
are waterways, as LOWELL believes
them to be, or strips Of vegetation
Ia a matter about which there is no
conclusive evidence.
The clear air at Flagstaff, which is
situated almost one and one-half
miles above sea level, gives to the
twenty-four inch telescope Of the
Lowell Observatory better defining
power than that of the forty inch
refractor OF the Yerkes Observatory.
On account of the relative closeness
of the earth TO Mars at the present
time observations at the Lowell OBJ
servatory have unusual value.
According to recent information
the Martian summer of the northern
hemisphere Is over and winter is now
approaching. The circumpolar snow
cap is increasing almost from day to
day. Late in June the observers
Drs. r. G. and V. NJ. SLIpHER, re-
ported that within an interval Of a
few days white canopy extending
AdI DtJOhu thc poidi icbAoho huu op-
reared. covering an area somewhat
larger than the province of Manitoba
and in corresponding latitude. In
asmuch as the white canopy has
masked the various markings visible
during the Martian summer 1t Is thf
opinion of the observers that 1t is ar
unusually severe snowstorm, one Of
the first OF the autumn.
The Martian atmosphere is very
rarefied compared, with that of the
earth. The proportion of water va.
por also is small, so small, indeed
that for many years its existence was
matter OF speculation rather thar
OF certainty. 1t is altogether toe
small for the formation of clouds
that ordinarily would be visible, -bu,

One-fifth of these yearly quotas is al
lowed to come in each month until the
yearly quota is exhausted.
One of the objects Of the new law was
to encourage immigration from northern
and eastern Europe and to check the
rush Of immigrants from southern Eu-
rope. A more drastic selective system
was inaugurated, by which nm immigrant
has to qualify mentally, physically and
morally before being allowed entry.
Up to JulyJ12 Great Britain had sent
only 1894 o{ the 15,468 quota allowed
for the first month. Mr.. Husband is at
a loss to understand why there are so
few immigrants from this quarter, be-
cause of the fact that the unemployed
list there amounts to more than 1,700.-
600. In the first full month Of the
last fiscal year England sent to the
United states 1897 immigrants.
On July 10 Germany had sent to
this country only s1o OF the 1881 i'm

Jim Riley's Sporting Spirit.

Watermen will applaud the spirit
which prompts the veteran oarsman
JIM RILEY of Saratoga Springs to
enter the old timers race at Philadel-
phia. TEN EycK, PLArsTED and RILEY
are fine types of the oarsmen Of the
days when the Canadian HANLAN
was the worlds champion. The
United States was represented at the
great regattas of that period by a
powerful group of oarsmen Of which
COURTNEY was the chief.
At IA JIM RILEY doesn't look go.
AS straight as an Indian, bronzed by
a-life in the open, he is to be found
in boat every day when the ice is
off his own lovely Lake Lonely, n
couple Of miles outside of Saratoga
Springs. RILEY attributes to rowing
his fine health and freedom from the
aches and pains which afflict many of
his age and recommends it to every
body with whom he comes in con-
tact.
TEN EYcK is RLEY's junior, but
the Saratoga veteran believes him.
self the better man. He challenged
the Syracusan to race over Lake
Lonely dozen years ago. 1t was
while the horses were running al
Saratoga, and being held in the morn
ing drew a large crowd of turfmen
most of whom had known RILEY for
many years.
RILEY put up his own stake oi
$1,000, and though beaten he was no,
convinced and he has been talking
of return match ever since. Now he
is to have another chance, with the
opportunity to include PLAIsTEI
among the conquered.
Most men are content to look back
or a. successful career Of half cen
tury in any business or sport with
out seeking fresh laurels. Those
Americans who would rather veal
out than rust out will, on the othel
hand, salute these examples of tn,
strenuous life.

The Road to Paradise.
1t Is Rough and Hilly and Leads
Among Pennsylvania Mountains.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Char
lotte Becker's poem singing of byway
that "steals back from a dusty thor
oughfare" is an inspiring text for a
tramp's aimless wandefings in the
mountains of Pennsylvania. 1t is a re-
minder of shaded solitudes. OF trailing
roads untouched save by the hands of
rural roadmakers, of byways over which
a tourney may be made quite undis-
turbed by the juggernaut car of Phil

Tramping over these byways In the
hush of morning I was startled by the
ring of hammer stroke. Something
human was jarring the chorus OF the
birds. Following the sound 1t proved to
proceed from the interior OF tiny half

sure on the Insulati0n2

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
breakdown of insulation with attendant
fires In the New York subways still con-
tinues for the following reasons:
/. The electric railways have been de-
signed and are being operated upon an
erroneous theory advanced in 1894.
2. There is a greater tendency of an
electric railway or other power current
to flow in a ground circuit than over a
complete metallic circuit.
3. There Is a dangerous unbalanced
ground circuit condition existing be-
tween the dry interior portions of sub
way and the moist exterior portions
thereof. This causes an abnormal elec-
trical pressure upon the insulation of
wires and cars.
4. The insulation of subway wires
and cars is not properly tested.
