the distress of $4,000 British sub

tickets and to the financial disap-
pointment of steamship companies
which had sold steerage space to that

For weeks the American consuIates

who have cited their steamship
tickets as full and sufficient reasons
that they be permitted to travel to
the United States
But the new method of handling
emigrants requires that anybody de-

Other Americans in Berlin, Heidel-

since have also taken the matter up
with the United States consular of

under the impression that they would
not have to pay the income taxes
here they had spent the money from
home as fast as 1t came and, as they

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY

NEW YORK. - Manhattan was
marked inspected and condemned"
by the Democratic delegates They
by every American. Just like getting
vaccinated. They even conceded that
1t has its advantages as a play
ground. But 1t is no place in which
to live.
What II you do make money in
New York;" they asked. It's all
taken away from you"
Not that they thought they were
robbed. The robbery talk is the
widest sort of bunk. OF course, when
you pay 80 cents for an ice cream
soda the first time it hurts. But a
large share of that price goes to
offset the highest rents in the world
and the cost of beauty chorus to
serve you, and the rich plush atmos-
phere.
1t was not on that account the dele
gates disliked New York. They
thought it was a rotten town.
We get everything in Dallas that
you get in New York" said one man,
and a lot that you don't"
Not everything, he corrected him

the New York ear drum. Not the
pushing, thrusting crowds. They are
not precisely ill-mannered crowds,
but they disregard manners They
fight their way into subways, into
cars, into busses, into stores, out
again. By and by they get the habit.
