New York, Sept. 28.--Once ag&fft ft Suffering congested Europe is piping Its worn and motley peasantry to the United States. Not a recprd of ancient nations is in existence which can tell • tale ol such a flow of humanity. From Italy is heard the report that Bo less than a million have booked passage for the dreamland. Wherever a liner docks in Europe sweaty peasants, hardened with striped and shapeleSfc baggage, wind their way into the steerage. In every nation the poor are forsaking the reality of their own soil tot the dream ot Americf. free golden America. ' When the war was over there was a scampering for passports and a flocking back to the homeland of immigrants of prewar days, Polish, Italian, Czecho-Slovak, Irish and British--all hungering for a breath of mother soil, departed.. But it is not what once It was over there, and they are coming %ack, disenchanted. These form a goodly part of the steerage population. The tide of Immigration has swelled week by week until last week the brusque but kindly gates by which all aspirants for entrance must pass clogged and choked. Five giant liners attempted to unload their human cargoes on the island at once. The dikes were down, as it were, and Ellis island^ was jammed. 80 an embargo was Imposed. For 48 hoars no bright-eyed tomigrant climbed down on the Island from a steerage gangway. Those thai had landed were packed Into the narrow sleeping quarters Th* Mtand is a tight little Island in any event and the quarters were never •Want to accommodate thousands. A curious body might tiptoe into the quarters at night. They are sleeping ~ tight against one another, legs flung out and twisted one over th^ other in •n indecipherable tangle. Clawky boys, gay kerchiefs mufflerlag their necks, lean against posts and waHs and try to sleep. Strange, .but tliiey succeed. They are very tired. The washing ' facilities of ships' steerage are not ample and In cramped Bills island they are also lacking. The stench of steerage and a curious horsy smell cling to the men and women. It Is the smell that heralds the approach of immigrants, a smell by which they may be recognized. Commissioner Wallls declared 'that the choke at the gate is relieved and the sunburned sons and daughters of Bsrope are streaming through. In a little while tfce commissioner expects his staff to be augmented by about two hundred. He also expects ' the erection of a new building, the length of the Island. The accommodations are at present not big enough by half, he says. County Councilor Shot to Dcatli ^ Hotel by "Watt am| ^ J Tan" Police. I :' .w, y. WILSON 0.

At the Chicago stock yards bog prices have again declined and the trade in cattle and sheep is dull. The stock markets, which for some time have been discounting lower commodity prices and consequent lowei corporation profits, continued in this vein. Industrial stocks fell rather sharply. Influenced by announcements of price reductions by a large eastern manufacturer of cotton goods, another automobile manufacturer and three big Chicago mail order bouses. There also were reports in steel trade circles that buyers are obtaining concessions In prices over those prevailing a few weeks ago and that there Is less difficulty In securing quick deliveries of goods ordered. This tended to bear out the prediction that steel prices, particularly those quoted by the Independent concerns,, are -due for a reduction. Cotton contracts tor future delivery and spot delivery, which have been telling rapidly' In the Wew York market declined still further. In part because of the announcement of price reduction In manufactured goods by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 29.^-The greak eft tingle service American Leglo# members have rendered their country is their "virile stand for the main-, tenanee of law and order," Franklla D'Olier, national commander of the? American Legion, told the second annual convention of the Legion at its opening session here. • 'We quickly served notice In no tufe. .certdln terms upon those wild radicals who would by force attempt to Lajure those very institutions we had risked our lfves to protect" Commander D'Olier said. 'We stated plainly we were ready for them and could meet their force with far greater force sufficient to stop them instantly. / 'During these present days of unrest and readjustment, the American Legion and the stand of the ex-servlqe jman for law and order Is the greatest possible Insurance policy our conntry could possibly have, and the only Insurance premium the ex-service man expects in return Is simply i!air play from that government with Which he has played so fair." More than 1,000 delegates were In, their seats In the Hippodrome theate^ when Commander D'Olier called to order the'convention which borders in importance the national sessions of the big political parties. The floor of the theater resembled one of the big political conventions, state standards and pennants designating seats allotted to the various delegations. Commander D'Olier presented Rev. Francis J. Kelley of Troy, N. Y., "the fighting chaplain," who delivered the invocation. Following the national chaplain, Mayor William R. Fitzgerald welcomed the visitors and delegates In behalf of the city. An ovation to France was the feature of the opening session of the convention. I. R. McQUigg, department commander of Ohia, started! the demonstration when, in his reply to the address of welcome by Mayor W. S. Fitzgerald he referred to France as (me of the great friends of tlfe Amercan Legion. The cheering began and calls were made for Francis E. Drake, commander of American Legion post No. 1, Paris. When he appeared the entire assembly stood and .rendered applause. Commander D'Olier in his address said in part: 'Today we are assembled together in our second national convention, where you are to receive reports as to the results accomplished by the national organization during this first year of our existence, and based upon these results, to determine the policies of the Legion during the coming year and to elect national officers to administer your organization and to put into effect your decisions. "Throughout the length and breadth of this land the name American Legion stands for the highest ideals and most wonderful spirit of unselfish service shown by every man add woman In the army, navy and marine corps during the world war. "The rapid growth of the Legion has been phenomenal. The greatest single service we have rendered our country was th* virile stand for' the maintenance of law and order. \ "The first official act of this administration, after the close of the convention, was to call a conference in Washington to consider the deplorable condition of the disabled men. Although the 'war has been over more than a year, government compensation to disabled men was so Inadequate that many mot were objects of private charity. "At this conference practically every state In the Union was represented and work begun one Monday morning ended in actual legislation passing both the senate and the house before the end of the same week. "As a result of this legislation there is now being distributed to disabled men $100,000,000 more each year. And the reason this legislation was passed was because the American Legion put Its requests before them so plainly and so forcibly that congress knew that oar requests were just and had the backing not only of ex-service men but the public as well."
