FOREIGNERS
RETURNING TO
THEIR HOMES
NEW YORK, Oct., 22— A stream
jf immigrants from America that will
number hundreds of thousands will
flow back to European countries as
soon as transportation facilities will
permit, according to consular officials
in New York, who report that their of
fices are swamped with applicants for
passage hack to the old countries .
Authorities with the situation pre
dict important effects from the wave
of emigration, which reverses the us
ual trend of traffic. Hitherto ,there
has always been a huge flow of immi
grants from the European lands to
America.
Several reasons are suggested as
responsible for the turning of the em
igration tide between Europe and
America. Jointly they are consider
ed sufficient to cause a wave of immi -
gration to Europe.
The general tie-up of trans-Atlan
tic traffic during the five years of war
is one of the causes for the concen
trated desire of Europeans to return
home now, think authorities. Many
men who came here to work have not
been able to visit their families dur
ing the war.
Applications filed with consulates
show that the majority of these emi
grants do not intend to return to
America with their families, but feel
that they will have better opportun
ities in the old countries. High wages
during the war. and especially dur
ini' America’s participation in it,
have enabled most of the foreigners
to return home with savings suffi
cient to make them quite independent
on the old scaV of living.
It is predicted, however, «£at few
of them realize the cost of living in
Europe, where scales have risen more
than in America, at\d that these re
turning “capitalists” will be disap
pointed. This will be especially true
of Italy, it is believed, where it has
long been the custom to go to Amer
ica a few years and return a well-to
do citizen.
The greatest permanent rush >f
peoples will he to the small nations
fit?i*d from the yokes of Germany
and Austria by the allied victory, *t
is thought , judging from indications
at consulates of Poland, Czecho-Slo
vakia, Serbia, and Rumania. There
is also a strong movement under way
toward countries formerly under the
Russian Czar’s rule, especially Finns
and Lithuanians. According to em
issiaries of the Russian soviet gov
ernment in New York, more than
half a million Russians throughout
HUN OPERA
STARTS A
NEW YORK, Oct., 22— The Su
preme court has granted a temporary
injunction restraining the authorities
Tom interfering with the production
of German opera here. Riots occured

EARTHQUAKE AT ROME
ROME, Oct., 22— There was an

ROBBERY AT PORTLAND
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct., 22— Three
masked men entered M. L. Smith's
down town Jewelry Store this after
noon and escaped with $2000 worth of
jewels.
the country want to return to Russia.
It is impossible to estimate tbe
strength of the movement to Ger
many and Austria, there being no
consular representatives of these
countries in America.
Economists see in the emigration
movement serious problems for
America which may lose almost a mil
lion workingmen in the course of two
or three years. It is said this will
cause a scarcity of the so-called cheap
for unskilled work, and keep wages
high.
At the same time Europe will grad
ually get more labor, which will tend
to reduce wages on that continent,
and probably reduce prices though
the emigrants will be scattered
through such a large population that
they will not affect European coun
tries as much as their absence will be
felt in the United States.
Sociologists see in the movement a
purifying of the American nationality
which has been strengthened and
welded together by the war. Remo
val of that part of the population
which has no desire of being assim
ilated would be a good thing, they
think, in spite of the shortage of
labor it might create.
