IRISH PUT ,EM IN CAGES

The streets OF Dublin poced by soldiers in
fast motor lorries, which raced hther and thither
lodging Sim Fen bombs and ambushes. When the
Irish began throw bombs from tops of houses at
passing motor trucks, they equipped with steel
sides and wire netting arched the tops
These cars the Dubners called bird cages"
Bird cages were the armored Notifications
which the Irish denounced and ridiculed as the fol-
lowing incident poignantly illustrates
For years-how many knows-an old
wo.ian had been selling cut flowers on the corner
of Grafton street and st. Stephens green. One day
a bird cage" stopped directly in front of flower
stand. The soldiers aimed their rifles through the
portfolios in the armored steel sides, and the spec
tators anticipating attack, grouped themselves
about the old woman. Looking steadily at the lorry
and becoming more and more indignant she ex-
claimed at last shaking her fat fist the soldiers

made you wear tin hats but the Irish put you in
cages."-Carl w. Askerman in Atlantic Monthly

sr. HELENA IMPOVERISHED

st. Helena, the island prison of
Emperor Napoleon, is harder hit to-
day than at any time since the open
ing of the Suez canal, writes a recent
visitor. This is chiefly due to the
great decrease in visits by ships. The
failure of the flax industry, which
was started with the aid of a gov
ernment grant after the war, is an
other cause of the lack of prosperity.
Jamestown. the capital. was busy
and rich little town 40 years ago.
Today the streets are empty and the
houses dilapidated. Even in the
country many houses are uninhabited
while others are in ruins. The cable
station is one of the few institutions
which have not suffered since the
beginning of the war. But the island
is still able to support a weekly
newspaper, the Guardian"
The population of st. Helena is a
curious one. Many settlers came to
island after the great fire of Lon
don in 1866. Others We're originally
slaves from Madagascar. The result
is a colored race. The majority of
the men are sailors.
The climate of st. Helena is very
healthful. the trade winds tempering
the tropic heat. Five-sixth of the
island is barren today, owing to rap
idly multiplying flocks Of goats de-
stroying the vegetation,
Bees will not live on the island, and
in consequence little fruit can be
cultivated.
One of the peculiarities of st.
Helena is the rollers. These are
great walls of water that rise with
out warning on calm sea and en-
danger shipping anchored offshore.

THE THREE PER CENT LAW

could keep the passage money and
even make a charge for taking back
the aliens refused admission at
American ports, or ordered deported
after their cases have been examined.
The new law compeis the steamship
companies not only to refund the
passage money originally received,
but to take the undesirable aliens
back to the point where they boarded
the ship, entirely free of charge.
Naturally. with a dead loss facing
them, the lines have been more care
full about how they fill their steerage
spaces with this human freight.
Many Chinese Cases
There are other immigration laws
and agreements which furnish cases
for the board of review to handle,
The question of Chinese immigration
is always a perplexing thing. 1t is
an open secret that Chinese Iaborers
are smuggled into this country to
some extent. Many of them are
stopped. but the department of labor
has not the funds with which to
draw a Gordon tight enough to guar
antee absolute exclusion.
In Chinese cases and in some 9TH
ers the draft records compiled during
the war are of considerable assist
formerly impossible. Cases will come
before the board of review. A China
man win swear to being born in Los
Angeles. His oath Will be supported
by other Cinnamon. They will swear
that they have known him long
time, even since boyhood.
The case will appear to be per-
fectly simple. A mistake has been
made, and the ChInaman actually is
an American citizen. having been
born in the United States. 1t is at
this point that the draft records come
into the situation. 1T will be found
that when he registered under the
draft. this same Chinaman swone
that he was born in Canton. and thus
escaped military service under the
plea Of being an alien. The boards
course is clear then, and the China
man is sent back to his homeland.
The diseased, the criminal. the
politically undesirable, the physically
unfit, the feeble minded or downright
insane, the illiterates, the deaf and
dumb, as well as aliens in excess of
the quota allowed the country from
which they came, continually are
knocking at the once wide open doors
into this country. StoWaways and
those likely to become public charges
arrive with their pitiable pleas to be
allowed to remain. Those already
here of the same nationality add their
fearful pleas and often considerable
influence to the efforts Of these new
arrivals to try to break down the law,
which congress in its wisdom has
found necessary for the protection of
America and American labor.
The board of review, naturally the
point of attack for the bitterness en-
gendered by disappointment, has the
unwelcome task OF disposing of all
these cases. Actually, the secretary
of labor finally acts. but he is frank
to confess that the unpleasant and
heavy task sometimes 20 or so cases
are acted upon in a. single day-falls
