NE of the most Interesting and most vital spots on the American continent today Is Ellis Island. Aliens from Europe are pouring Into the country at the rate of 900,000 a year, and the problem of assimilation has become more pressing than ever before. The tide of immigration is rapidly mounting to pre-war levels, and for months • Ellis island, the great gateway, has been choked. Ships have been forced to tie tip for days before discharging their steerage passengers, and on the island It Is «ot unusual for as many as 3,000 immigrants to detained for the night In sleeping quarters deist gned for the accommodation of half as many. IPioors, benches and chairs are filled with the overflew from the dormitories, and hundreds (sleep on their feet. The melting pot is boiling over, and the con- Igpstlon will increase with each passing mc^th. |8teamship men say their accommodations are (booked for a full year ahead. Poles and Italians (especially are coming In swarms, and it is certain {that as soon as the way is clear for them, Ger- ' jmans will enter America in vast numbers. * i That the problem of assimilation may be a ttlttle less difficult to solve, despite its magnitude, tip indicated by the fact that so many of the jyounger generation are now on the manifests of (the Incoming vessels, writes John Walker Harrtngjton In the New York Herald.

' The self-appointed enforcer of reform carries now, below his right eye, a bruise of many colors.

They swarmed upon the running boards with cries of, "There he is, the dirty lizard! Throw him in the river! Duck him!" At this point a tomato struck the parson on the forehead.

The presence of so many families, although . often bereft of fathers, indicates, a more permanent class than usual. There are not so many ' unattached male immigrants--Italians, Austrians iand the like--who in former years sought the United States only to avail themselves of high ages and to return with their savings to their original environment. Up to the first of July (there had arrived at American portif 247,625 men la ml boys, and 182.876 women and children, which Bs somewhat in excess on the feminine side. In jjanuary the two genders were about equally (divided and in the succeeding months the males gradually Increased in numbers. Of this grand total, 430,001, It Is noted that 'ITS,! 33 are set down as having no occupation, thia •classification including women and children. The hopes of those who are looking for cooks and parlor and experts la all lines of domestic jut ' *wi service ate likely ffr he unfulfilled for a time ak least, as only 37,197 servants have come and 5,808 have gone away from New York. Among the immigrants who arrived up to July 1 of this year, 12,442 had professional occupations, the largest class, that of teachers, being represented by 2,128 individuals. Among the trades and skilled occupation*, clerks and accountants lead with 12,681, and carpenters and joiners number 5,742, while there Is a good representation of masons and stone cutters. Among the so-called miscellaneous occupations are found 81,732. which however, is not nearly as promising a figure as It seems, as,-during the same period 183.820 laborers left the country. There' have been admitted 15,257 farm laborers, as compared with 2,754 who have eml-(, grated. The country has gained 12,192 farmers In the same period and lost 11,262 through eml-vi. gratlon. Where They Are Going. Just how far the Industrial situation In the United States will be benefited by the new arrivals may be gleaned from a table showing the Intended future residence, of aliens up to July 1. It may be safely assumed that they actually go to the points Indicated. The inducement of high factory wages has kept the majority of them near the Atlantic seaboard. Thus New York state has received 106,630, Massachusetts 41,594, Connecticut 13,212 and Pennsylvania 27,337. Some of the middle western states, such as Ohio, Jllinois and Michigan, have gained large quotas, and In California a gain of 32,502 is reported. With the .«*- ceptlon of Texas, where the oil boom and other causes have brought an influx of population, including 38,115 aliens this year up to July 1, the South has not fared so well. Many rich agricultural areas in the middle of the country or beyond the Mississippi have been neglected. The trend Is still toward the huge manufacturing cities, aftf the much vexed problem of unequal distribution continues, as shown by the official returns. There Is much promise of better conditions* however, in the division of distribution, established by Commissioner Wallls, and placed by htm In charge of P. A. Donohue, a veteran investigator of the department of lab6r. It is the function of this bureau to set to It that the immigrants know about the opportunities for employment which are open to them in the less congested areas of the country. The recently completed census of the United States has shown stronger than ever before the trend toward the municipalities. Not only does the new comer seek the city where he may find his kith and kin. and submerge himself In a colony, but there is also a drift of the native born American from the rural to the urban communities. Wallls* Anti-Segregation Plana. "Immigration," said Commissioner Wallls, "haa played a greater part than It should In this an* desirable segregation. This has been largely due to the fact that the immigrant when he arrives " here often has very little idea of the extent of the country, and of the many opportunities which at* before him. if he will consider them. For this reason, we are making clear to immigrants while they o" th* ,8,»na hRV* the whote. United States before them. -We- are arranging Bw popular talks In various languages In which ttoe diversified nature of the country will be explained. There are to be moving picture shows devoted to views ef different states, especially those which have large agricultural regions which need development. "Now that this movement is under way and we have at least a skeleton organization to carry It oot we have received offers of co-operation from all over the country. We.are now in touch with chamber* of commerce, with boards of trade, with employment committees of the state, so that we may knotv the needs which confront all these localities. For instance, I receive a letter or telegram from some company in Ohio telling of the peed for soft coal miners there, or again a certain section of Pennsylvania has | dearth of farmers. As this phasa of our work Is being extended we hope to have a classified record of all the wants of the various sections of the country. If there is a strong demand lor miners we will be able to know It at once and place the representatives of the mining companies in direct touch with men who are accustomed to that kind of work or who have the physique and the skill to toe trained into it ' "Although efforts have been made by individuals and societies to solve this problem of distribution, there is a clause of the immigration law, I find, which will permit the Immigration officials to assist In the work of distribution o"h a far larger scale than has ever been attempted in the United States. Men of large vision have recognised the great need of this work and have even supported it, but the time has come to take up this matter on ra large national scale. "In years past the immigrant on his arrival _,%ere has gone largely where he happened to drift, #nd there have been flagrant cases where his confidence lias been abused. He has been overcharged and even robbed, and often he Is exploited for the selfish gain of those who should be drawn to him by ties of race. We see to it that Immigrant does not leave this Island until we are satisfied that he will not become a public charge or get a wrong start through his Ignorance of the ways of this country.1 Hie Immigrants Who arrive here are held until we have satisfied ourselves that they will be settled In some community where they will have the advice and assistance of relatives and frleflds. We have also the co-operation of various organisations, such as the Y. M. C. A., who give us volunteer aids, whose task It Is to see that the Immigrants get to their destinations, and are so fairly treated that they will get a fair .chance to start in life anew in their Strang^ environments." ; Well Provided With Money. _ 'A phase of the immigration of the Is that, on the whole, the newly come have far more money than did the aliens who readied here before the war. Commissioner Wallls declared that an average of $100 apiece is about the amount with which an immigrant now reaches this country. "Taken all In all," he continued, "he mlghtH>e considered almost wealthy compared with those who came here many years ago, and yet we do not accept the mere possession of cash as any sign that a man will not become a public charge. We would rather take the risk with a man with $10 if he has a good trade' and a Job waiting for him, and has friends in thia country, than we would a man who may have several thousands of dollars and yet seem to have no ability and no Initiative." One of the veteran Inspectors remarked sadly and remlnlscently that there are now no "types" coming over the water. A glance at the long lines in the station on Ellis Island bears out this observation. There are comparatively few of the picturesque native costumes to be seen--the short trousers, the flowing robes, the elaborately embroidered Jackets and the corded bodices of peasant garb. Most of the immigrants are in garments which have almost an American look. The women especially have followed the prevailing French modes with the short skirts and the low cut collars, such as are seen in our Fifth avenue. Another broadening effect of the war may he observed In the greater spirit of fraternity and courtesy which now pervades Ellis Island, for the newcomers do not seem so strange and outlandish, and like creatures of another world, as they have In other decades. The present commissioner, on his coming to the station, saw to it that a new attitude In this respect was Introduced, for the days of brief authority vaunted at the expense of the ordinary amenities of life have passed. The new order of things provides that the Immigrant shall be welcomed as a mnn and a brother, and the whole tone of the station has been altered to ' conform with that Ideal. Hence the new regime meets the requirements of this- present age, and welcomes those who are admitted at the harbor gate, not as aliens, but as new Americans. fa Bank Saved by Telegraph Heputattsa for Correctness of Jtank ef England Maintained •'- W - Clerk's Suggestion.

The police claim to have established connection ween Sinn Fein headquarters and numerous strangers who are idling about the streets in groups. Edward Shortt, the home secretary, declared In the house of commons in reply to questions regarding Saturday night's incendiary dock flres in Liverpool * that there seemed no doubt that the fires were the result of an organised conspiracy In which members of the Sinn Fein party were engaged. The public galleries , of the hous^ of commons were closed in the afternoon and the approaches te the houses of parliament guarded by extra police as a precaution against possible untoward incident, following the disclosure of an alleged Sinn Fein conspiracy for operations In England. Speaker LowtheV stated in the commons, in answer to a question, that he had ordered the galleries closed as a result of Information he had received from the chief commissioner. As an additional precaution a police motorboat, armed with a machine gun, was placed on patrol along the river front of the houses of parliament. The latest Sinn Fein developments were discussed at an Important conference at 10 Downing street, the official residence of Premier Lloyd George, between members of the government and the heads of the police organizations. The conferees included the premier, Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary for war; Sir HamarGreenwood, chief secretary for Ireland; Speaker Lowther of the house of commons, and the heads of the metropolitan police and Scotland Yard. The closing of the public galleries of the house of commons followed this meeting. London, Dec. 1.--Half a doaen toen who were preparing to set fire to a large lumber yard In the district of Flnsbury, an Important section of the city of London, less than a mile north of London bridge, were surprised by a policeman. This attempt was almost coincident with the breaking out of incendiary fires In Liverpool. The policeman challenged the loiterer, who Immediately attacked the officer and shouted for. help. Five men, with revolvers, answered his call, emerging from behind some empty wagons and rushing the policeman, who was compelled to liberate the man he had seized. All the men escaped. Searching behind the wagons, the policeman found cotton waste soaked with gasoline had been pushed through a gateway of a lumber yard, and he also discovered two revolvers and 100 cartridges.
