NEW EMIGRANT REGULA-
TI0NS

Under the new emigrant regula-
ton, those coming from Europe
are assured of entrance into AM
erica before they sail. The exam
nation is made by American in
spectors and this arrangement
will obviate much unpleasantness
at Ellis Island.
The Chicago Daily News says
that it ought to be generally ap-
parent that examination at ports
of embarkation of candidates for
admission to the United States
probably would have the effect of
inducing an especially desirable
class of persons 60 apply for that
privilege. Self-respecting per-
sons Of force and capacity must
hesitate long before taking upon
themselves the status of emf
grants if there seems to them to
be a prospect that at the end of
the journey across the Atlantic
they will be barred from entering
this country.
The United States has bungled
its immigration policy during
many years. 1t is high time to
make that policy as intelligent
and effective as possible.

vile, preparatory to writing a
sketch of his life. He writes:
While going through batch of
letters written by the late Major
John H. Rountree, came aerL IS
one in which he made reference to
Wallace Rowan, one of the two
first white settlers at BaFabeo. /.
will be recalled that Rowan and
Abe Wood came to Baraboo and
built a dam across the river at a
point just down stream from Ocfs-
ner park.
1t seems that Major Rountree
knew Rowan when he lived in the
zinc and lead region, where he was
for a year. Rowan came from
Jacksonville, Morgan county. Hin
| OILS, and settled near PlatteVillc.
His wife, whom Major Rountree
describes as good woman. was
married to Rowan in Morgan
county, Ill.,, and came with him and
their two, children to Wisconsin.
Her name, maiden name, was Met
calf.
From the zinc and lead country
the Rowans went to the head of
the Fourth Lake, and there lie was
when we first got trace of him, ac-.
cerding to Sank county history.
From Lake Mendoza he wen: ZIP in
to the woods in the vicinity of Poy-
nette where his operations may be
easily traced.
But until read these letters of
Major Rountree, l had no track of
the mans early history. No more
reliable authority can be quoted
than Major Rountree. And he knew
his subject, without doubt. These
letters are on file in the document
and map room in the historical Ii
brary, Madison.

burg wrote to Mr.. Ebert that he, like
Mr.. Ebert himself, was willing to
place certain feelings and wishes in
the background for the sake of the
welfare of the fatherland, and would
work in collaboration with him.
Landsberg (barristerl: Can you
confirm the statement that the letter
written by Hindenburg on Dec. s, 1918
commenced with the following word.
ing:
Dear Mr.. Ebertl That | apply to
you in the following lines is explic-
able by the fact that | have been
told that you, as a faithful German,
loving your fatherland above every
thing else, are prepared to place In
the background your personal opin-
ions and Wishes, as ! too have been
obliged to do, in order to serve the
fatherIand in its need. For this rea-
son ! have allied myself with you
to save our people from the threat
ened ruin. should like to remind
you Of your appeal Of Nov, 9, in
which you say:
"The new government Of the
reich cannot fulfill its task, unless
the whole of the authorities in town
and country lend helping hand
know that many will find it difficult
to work with the new men who have
undertaken to rule the reich, but |
appeal to their love for our people.
II our organizations fail US at this
difficult hour, Germany will be
plunged into anarchy and the pro-
foundest misery. Help US by fear
less and persevering work everyone
remaining at his post, until the
hour of release arrives"
This is followed by several points
d aling with discipline in the
army, and with the necessity of the
speedy convention of the national as
sembly. The letter then goes on:
"The fate of the German people
has been placed in your hands. It
depends on your decision whether
the German reich will revive. am
ready and with me the whole army,
to help you without reservation fot
this aim. We all know that after
the regrettable issue of the war, the
reconstruction of the reich is only
possible on new basis and in new
forms What we want is that the
restoration of the state is not post
poned for generations by foolish
ness and blindness completely de-
stroying every pillar of our social
and economic life

One day an agent of the social
democratic party came to us and re-
quested the arrest of Rosa Luxem-

made the arrest.

was precisely Mr.. Ebert who then at
tackled us severely in the reichstag,

Upon this Won Stein, general of the
artillery. former minister of war, was
heard. ~
Chairman: The defence asserts that
from 1916 EDWARDS the German S. d.
party deliberately thwarted the meas
ures of national defence.
Witness: I cannot say anything
about that, as the party leaders did
not invite me to their meetings But
there were difficulties enuf.
On one occasion, when a metal
workers meeting was about to be
held, we were applied to by an ag-
ent of the sociaI-democratic party,
who asked us to forbid the meeting,
