 They embarked for America and be-
 lieyed all was well. At Ellis Island they were told they would be admit l ted: they had sailed before the pas sage of the new immigration law re- stricting immigration and should have been permitted to enter. The brothers l in New Britain were notified and great was the rejoicing,
 l But something happened. The aunt was permitted to land and the brother and sister and the latter's son were shipped back to France, from which point they had embarked.
 Darius was told in one office that they were deported. while in another office he was told the orders were to admit them to the country.
 They were sent back with many others to Marseilles. And Darius be- gan spending money enlisting aid and doing whatever he could to have the government of the United States act. The French minister refused to wise the passports a second time, of those who had been deported, claiming that it would involve diplomatic differences with the American government.
 Senators Brandegee and Mclean were interviewed by Darius and their aid enlisted. Americanization Director James F. O'Brien was appealed to and through him, United States Senator I.e Baron B. Colt of Providence, R. l., who is chairman of the senate com- mittee on immigration.
 Again the brother sister and nephew arrived in America this time at Boston, Again the brothers in New Britain were notified that they would be permitted to land. But the day before the boat sailed back, Boston newspaper contained a list of immi- grants to be deported and Michael and his sisters name were on the list.
 In desperation Darius rushed to the one man in this city who is the friend and confdant of all who come from across the water, the American ization director. MT. O'Brien im- | mediately telegraphed Senator Colt him of his promise, and | was advised within five hours that the family would not be deported again, |
 The next day they arrived in New Britain. So long had they been kept \ in port that both had picked up a faint smattering of English and MT. OBrien recieved his just reward for his efforts when brother and sister walked into his office and thanked him in English for helping them in- 70 the land of their dreams.
 T am going to send Michael to work for while." said Darius, "un- til he gets little better acquainted with the country and then I am go- ng to send him to school"
 Darius and David are members of he local Headquarters Company of National Guards, and Darius is com- pany clerk.

Modestly. the writer submits that q
clearer program would be as follows:
First. let Great Britain guarantee to
she is to receive from Germany. and
let her guarantee also the reduction
of the debt to the allies which France
demands.
Should Assure Protection.
Second, let her guarantee that the
league Of nations, Of which Germany
shall become a member. will protect
France and Belgium and the new east
European states against attack.
France officially demands nothing
more. and therefore would have no
excuse for remaining In the Rhineland
and the Ruhr after these wishes had
been fulfilled.
But even this would not make the
continent OF England healthy. Con-
struction Of new factories has In
creased production as much as tho
and deprecated currency. Here is the
root of the problem.
The ridiculously shameful German
cabinet tangle was much ado about
nothing. All Americans were excit-
ed over the fact that our good AL

patriots Boy-ed and Won Papen, had
been suggested as chancellor. But the

nomic rehabilitation of Europe can

BERLIN, December 1.-Conclusion of
the Dusseldorf pact is the most i'm
portant event of this gloomy advent
season.

troll Of mines and factories makes de-
mands whose severity is frightful

Of the entire net production and to

upon the permission of the occupying
forces.
Terms Not Impossible.
But such clever and experienced
men as the French engineer, Frant-
gen. and the German industrialist,
SHINES. would not propose or accept
terms which could not be carried out.
The pact not only clears the road
for all reparations, but is also the be-

own impression remains unchanged
that Premier Baldwin will come back
with q majority so diminished that
he will be unable to carry his pro-
lection policy. But for the division in
the ranks OF the free traders between
the liberals and the laborites, his de-
feat would be certain.
Much depends on the women. Many
signs prevail that they are taking g
means rise in prices. The women
represent more than a third Of the
total electorate. and If panic on the
question of cost Of living seizes them
generally all present calculations as
to the result will be worthless.
Seek to Hold Farmers.
The protectionists hope to hold the
country seats by promising the farm
ers a bribe Of pound an acre on
arabic land and a thirty shilling wage
minimum for 1aborers.
The Industrial districts are expected
to vote overwhelmingly for free
trade, but the struggle between lib
erals and labor insures the return OF
many protectionists.
Subsidiary to the main issue Is the
secondary motive of liberals and la
Dor to secure second position in the
new parliament. Evidences point to
the probability of the liberals win
ming.
Every one agrees that whatever
