Statistics recently announced put the number of immigrants last year at 107,600. Before the war France, Hke .| Most of the other Continental nations, had practically no immigration and had no machinery for handling new- comers, The movement began in 1915 with 28,300 men, women and children. Now thirty stations have been estab- lished for examining and registering the immigrants. The service goes much further. It finds work for these people, that is, it directs them to localities where they are needed, and looks after their livy- ing conditions, encouraging and fos- tering the movement in every way.

Male Persons Between Sixteen and Sixty Must Engage in Use- ful Occupations. The loafers and merely nominal workers of the North American Con- tinent have fallen upon evil days- Both in Canada and the United States, the law has now set its face severely against them. On July 1st the United States Federal Order, as drawn up by Provost Marshall Enoch Crowder, went in effect. All men'of draft age, that is between the ages of eighteen and fifty have now to be engaged in some productive employment or into the army. This Federal Order is being re-enforced by anti-loafing laws, enacted by the State Legislatures. Measures in United States. The Provost Marshall has defined productive and non-productive occupa- tions and there is no escape for those who cannot be classed among the pro- ductive workers if they are of draft age. Non-productive occupations in the United States are defined as fol- lows:-- First, persons engaged in the serv- ing of food and drink or either in pub-; © lic places, including hotels and social | Second, passenger elevator opera- tors, attendants, footman, carriage openers and other attendants in clubs, hotels, stores, opera houses, office buildings and bath-houses. Third, persons, including ushers and other attendants engaged and occu- pied in connection with games, sports and amusements, except actual per- formers in legitimate concerts, operas and theatrical performers. Fourth, persons employed in domes- tic service. Fifth, sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercan- tile establishments. Ifa man of draft age registered in due course and waiting his selection for the draft be not employed in pro- ductive occupation, or if he be idle partially or completely, he must hold himself on immediate call for the my. The regulation is applicable to idle registrants, to gamblers of all descriptions and employees of race tracks and bucket shops, to fortune- tellers, clairvoyants, . palmists and people of such vocations. If Board of Appeal so judge, idlers may have their deferred classification with- drawn and their names will be report- ed to the Adjutant pat of the State for military. servi excuses for 'alimese "kis rh non-prodd tive employment on the part of a man of military age are sét down as. sick- | jan ness, reasonable vacation, lack reasonable opportunity for employ- ment, temporary absences from regu- aid employment, not to exceed one eek, unless such are habitual and sea or domestic circumstances involving hardship to dependents if a change of employment were ordered, ni -- such change would necessi- te night work on the part of women barn unsuitable conditions, In the State of New York, the sher- liffs, state police, district attorneys, and the State Industrial Commission, under the State Anti-loafing legisla tion, are combined to enforce the F' eral Order and assign men where nec- essary to jobs of a productive charac- ter. It is estimated that 1,000,000 will change their employment as the result of this order of General Enoch Crowder. It is pointed out, however, that no man should give up his pres- ent employment, even though of the non-productive class, until he has rere procured work at an essential ustry or such work has been pro- cured for him, as it is recognized that a man employed at non-essential work is better than a man not employed at The Work of the Moment. Canada's Anti-loafing Law has in operation since early in April and every male person over sixteen and under sixty years of age, unless a@ bona fide student, or physicially unfit, or reasonably unable to find employ- ment, must be engaged in some useful occupation. In Canada the most essential indus- try at the present time is agricultural. Food production is # necessity of the present moment. More than 65,000 able-bodied men, fn addition to the men already employed on the land, such as the Soldiers of the Soil and the boys and women of other organi- zations, will be needed to save the crops this season.

This latter ridiculous report is specifically denied | y Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent of | peinigration, who officially designated | it as "absolutely without any founda- Senator Gideon Robert- | gon, a member of the Dominion Cabi-! net, and Chairman of the Registration i Board, is equally positive in his | denials of the other mischievous re- | ports. The actual facts are, according that the Registration Act applies only to people permanent- fect even remotely anyone living in the United States; that no registra- tion at a post office is necessary, and that no passports are required. The possession of papers showing the holders to be American citizens is all that is necessary to cross into Cana da. At the International boundary Mne the holders of these papers are given an identification card by the Canadian Immigration Officials, which enables the visitors to travel freely where they wish without any inter- ference on the part of Canadian of- ficials. Senator Robertson, oe of the Registration Board, announced that "neither in the fnstrdctions is- sued, nor the regulations for Cana- dian registration, is there anything that would indicate desire or inten- tion to impose restrictions upon Americans or aliens, entering, travel- ling in, or leaving Canada." The experience of these American visiters who have already come to Caneda verifies Senator Robertson's | statement, but unfortunately there are i many across the border who have not | read this announcement, and may still be influenced by the false reports to stay at home, spol] their vacation, and cause a mutual loss to themselves and to Canada. a x Sure He Would Be There.
