100000 Aliens Become
Citizens Here in Year
Third Jews, With Italians Next;
9Per Cent Rejected, Chiefly
On Moral Grounds

THE annual report OF Merton A.
sturges. head Of the United States Nat
prnlization Board in this district, shows
that i'm the year ended June 80 loO'OOO
aliens were admitted 90 citizenshiP IN
this district. about one-third OF thcm
beinc Jews. There were more natives
Of Russia than Of any other country

Discussing the report, Mr.. Sturges
said yesterday;
tlons FOR citizenship considered during
the fiscal year. About 4l'OOo on these
applicants were granted citiLensnip'
That meant, including wives ana minor
children, that about 10000 came INTO
tho enjoyment Of American citizenship
who had hitherto been aliens residing
here. About 9 per cent OF aroupa
1000. applicants were denied the rights
Of citizenship.
"The refusals were not mainly be-
enuse OF illiteracy. That Is a popular
error. The alien Is not required 10
read or write, but only 20 speak Eng
lish, In applying for citizenship. There
Is a recent law which requires liter
aey test for registration 20 vote, but
no such test Is involved in the claiming
Of citizenship. Moral status figures
more as stumbling block 10 the alien
seeking citizenship than the educa-
tional or political aspects Of the mat
ter
zone reason why there were not
more applicants heard lies in the great
delay In getting certificates Of arrival
from Ellis Island. Due 20 a shortage
OF the force at the immigration station
there are about 10000 would-be appli-
eants for citizenship who cannot get
certificates OF their arrival In this
country 20 establish officially that they
have been here five years"

Are we kidding" ourselves when we talk
about the great advantages derived from labor
saving devices?
The Pennsylvania Railroad prints this on the
cover of its dining car menu:
millions of tons of ore are carried in solid
trainloads over the Pennsylvania system every
year to feed the blast furnaces of the iron and
steel industry
In order to transfer the ore from cargo boats
Of the Great Lakes to railroad cars, the Penn
sylvania system operates giant electric unload
ing machines at its ore docks ON Lake Erie.
Prior to 1882 this work was done by hand
shovel and wheel-barrow at the rate of about
100 tons day.
To-day four machines at Cleveland can emp
ty vessel and load cars at the rate of 5000
tons hour"
Thea cctual mining and transportation of iron
ore have also been speeded up by labor-saving
devices, the same as handling the ore at the
docks.
All this is generally accepted as more eco
nomical"

The five daughters a Prince Henry
married in quick succession, following
the death of their father, two of them
becoming the wives of Austrian counts.
Princess Hermine received her first
proposal of marriage when she was IS.
It seems that she had volunteered to
act as peacemaker in the ruined sdo-
mestic affairs of her sister, Princess
Carolina, who had married the Grand
Duke William Ernest of Sake Weimer,
but hardly had reconciliation been
effected when Carolina died and the
Grand Duke found that he was in love
with the intercessor.
Hermine consented to marry him on
condition that he dismiss a certain
majordomo from his statf-a man she
disliked intensely-but the duke re-
fused her request, and the match fell
through.
Two years later she married Prince
Won Schoenaich-Carolath, an officer of
the TThlan GuardS who dieJ fav
years later. The princess had five chill
dren by that marriage, the oldest of
whom is Is. She had intended taking
them to Doom to reside with her in
her new home, but arrangements have
since been made to have them live in
/ specially built house outside the ex-
emperor estate. This step was taken
in Difference to the wishes of Williams
own children.

| William and the Princess occurred
more than a year ago, and came about
! through rather unusual circumstances
1t seems that her young, SON wrote a
| letter of coincidence to Doom follow

The reply was written by William and
addressed to the boys mother, and thus
their correspondence began. Some
months later they were asked to visit
the former monarch, and it is said that
three days after Princess Hermine ar
