Larger Manufactories For Employment." MEETING BUSEBALL FANS AT B TONIGHT Every Fan Urged Bis Present, As Meet Is. Of Utmost , . Importance. , ITALY FURNISHES BY - FAR GREATEST NUMBER ' New York, -May 31.-r-Though the tide of immigration has' begun to flow again into . the United States from Europe so that incoming ships have their lower decks crowded with homeseekeis from other lands, there is little prospeot that relief is in sight for the American housewife who has been promising herself a cook 'or a mald-of-all service to be recruited froAi the newcomers. At least that . is the opinion f Superintendent P. A. Baker of' the United States Im migration' Station on Ellis Island. ; 'Immigration has been increasing by leaps and ' bounds," . Mr. Baker said, "and it is a hopeful sign that the aliens arriving in this port during the last few weeks have exceeded the . number going back to their native . lands by many thousands. Last week six times as many came in as quali . fled to leave the country. . - "People who think the servant girl problem is going to ,be solved soon will be disappointed if they are de pending oh the women immigrants from Ireland and the Scandinavian countries. Plenty of these are arriv ing on every boat, but they turn up their noses at the thought of menial labor, They have their minds set on getting work in the better factories, principally those manufacturing lux , uries such as candy and women's fin ery. They want to, get into places where employes are well treated and into localities where housing facili ties are best so that they can live on the scale justified by the high wages paid' them. If employers want to at tract these classes of women immi grants they had better look to the reputations of their factories for the ': pleasant working conditions." Mr. Baker scouted the . idea that ' prohibition "was one reason why lm . migration was not gaining more rap idly. He said the foreigners were coming in at about one-third of the rate of the year immediately preced ing the European war. The principal reason why. more were not coming was that tITe men are urgently needed in their own countries, some of which notably Poland, are supporting huge armies which use up a large part of their man power, with the result that those who are, free to do civilian -work demand wages comparable to those paid in this country. The present wave of immigration originates in about the same coun tries as before the war, with the ex. ception of Germany and Austria- Hungary; Italy furnishes by far the greatest number. These are largely unskilled laborers who find their way into the big industrial and mining sections, i : : '. ' . Only in the case of one country is the outgoing population greater than ' that coming in. This is Poland whose nationals besiege the Polish consulate daily in great numbers seeking pass ports. About 8,000 of these pass. ports were issued last month, and nearly as many, in each of the pre ceding months since the first of the year. They are going back, it is gen. erally believed, because of homesick. ness and anxiety1 over the welfare of relatives in the war zones. The schedule for the baseball sea son of 1920 of the Eastern Carolina Baseball Association . has been . re ceived by the secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce from Professor E. E. Bundy, : of Williamston, who was chairman of the schedule committee, and, in view "of the shortness of time before the season opens, it has been determined to hold a meeting tonight in the offices of the Chamber of Com. merce at 8.30, instead of tomorrow night, as- noted , in ' our Saturday's issue.- A I-i ).'

Of the 40,000 or 50,000 of them in the city at feast 50 per cent long for the time when passport restrictions shall . be less.' rigorous and they can flit td the land of plenty In the west. i Many of them have relatives or friends in America, or at least ay oiey nave, put the doors oi Amer. ica are closed unless it 1 is clearly proven the applicant is not a Bolshe vik and will not become a public charge in the United States., All the singers, dancers and artists want to go to New York. But applications for; permission are denied unless the performers can show an actual con. tract with Borne reputable manager, ,Serbia and Italy are the only two countries into which Russians can gain admission with ease and even they are very cautious about admit ting persons suspected of Bolshevist tendencies. ';' There are "more Russians than oth er nationals in the foreign districts of the city. Russian commission shops have been opened where refugees of. feu their diamonds, laces and other finery for sale. Big Russians and Little Russians, Laplanders, Siberi ans,; Georgians and Cossacks of all the various tribes have been shuttled into Constantinople by the Red wave which swept them oyer the Black Sea. Hotels are filled by Russian barons, counts and princes, especially princes, for every third high class Russian in Turkey seems to be a prince. , Singl ers and dancers from the imperial theatres are in evidence everywhere. They are so conspicuous they can not be. overlooked entirely, but their ef forts to gain publicity are not highly successful. The cosmopolitan popu lation of Constantinople has had so many thrills in the last six years that it is too jade dto respond to the bizarre manifestations of artistic temperament.. Pale-faced tenors wan dering through hotel lobbies, finger ing strands of- lavender beads and evanescently gowned prima donnas loaded with jewels and Pomeranian poodles can't startle a public which has had so many years of war at its front door. , TODAY'S NEWS OF TARBORO 20 YEARS AGO A Great "Crime." The talk of the town since yester day afternoon,v has been the Killing of a six months' ; old dog of Jo'J. Green by J. C' Home, and the Jus tice requiring Mr. Horne to give bail for his appearance at the next term of the criminal court to answer the charge of cruelty to animals. Mr. Green regards his canine as very valuable, worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $100, and being mor or less attached to it, is much worried over its untimely end. Mr. Home Saturday morning when he arose early to meet his sister on the Southern, was assailed by a dog as he came out of the house. He threw a stick at it and the dog start- j ed for him, and as Mr. Home retreat ed out of reach the animal went un der the house. Throwing under there to scare it out only had the effect of making it snarl and growl. Mr. Home had no further time for the dog, so he hastened off on his wheel to meet his sister. : : . . Returning home arrd going out to get some chips to make a fire, growls again apprized him of the presence of the dog. So vicious was it that Mr. Home thought, that it must be mad, so he secured his pistol and killed ut. : ' Upon this testimony the justice held him to answer at court, and peo ple have been arguing pro and con. If. Mr. Horne is guilty he has done no more than nine men out of ten would have done, i There is a moral to be drawn from this circumstance, viz : If a dog is so valuable it should not be allowed o run at large. Not only this, the owner of a dog should keep it up so that it may not interfere with other people who do not fancy them. This, is only fair and in accord with the ''golden rule." . ?:fiJ ANTWERP FAVORITE AMONG AMERICANS II All Classes Join Beer and Wine Drinkers in Famous City.

If the men who are backing the sport here were doing so for the money they hope to make out of it. the Tarboro public could well afford to say to-them,' "Go ahead and we will patronize you," but these men are in it for pure love of sport, so when they stand sponsor for a team which will afford amusement for all, it is only fair that they should be helped in rebuilding the grand stand which was blown down last winter. Even in asking this help they do not come as beggars. They offer an entertainment which will be worth every cent charged.

The Cambridgeshire Forestry Association School of Forestry , believes that "there is no reason why trees cannot be made to grow square and produce wood of better quality and in greater quantity" if the excessive wood pro duction in certain trees can.be con trolled. The association believes that this can be done and if so "there will be no more slabs, nor wsvy planks." A Good Example. ' The room in the courthouse, which the county commissioners assigned to the county board of education, has been fitted up in a most creditable manner, A neat matting is on the floor, easy comfortable chairs with a handsome oak table to match have been supplied. There is a mirror and rack for hats, umbrellas, etc. A lava tory is also screened off. This fur nishing is substantial, but not costly. Let a teacher come from the most distant part of the county and right there she can make herself not only more comfortable, but also more pre sentable. ,v , PINETOPS NEWS. On Thursday afternoon, May 28 the Community Club held its meet ing in the Pinetops Warehouse. The treasurer had a splendid report to make. The club realized $254 from the chautauqua and $131 from the Lyceum course, making a total of $385.:;. ,:;::...' The club bought from the jUasons 50 seats to be used for the purpose of entertainments the members may see ht to have come to the town. . After 811 business was dispensed with, Mrs. J. W. Brown, treasurer, presented Miss Agnes Moore with a handsome check as a token of appre ciation and love from the members of the club. Miss Moore has been local manager for both Lyceum and chautauqua, through the year, and it goes without saying she's made a grand success. Miss Annie Southerland, of Hen derson, is the guest of Miss Mary Alice Cobb. i Misses Kate Maynard and Myrtle Lurange were the guests of Miss El sie Weaver through the chautauqua. Miss Weaver entertained at a picnic Wednesday afternoon in honor of her guests. Mrs. A. M. Wooten entertained the 9th and 10th grades Friday evening, complimentary to their teacher, Miss Moore. ; . Antwerp, May 31. The cufes of Autwerp, where American "jazz" music resounds nightly until the early morning hours and champagne corks pop continuously at 50 to 100 francs a pop, are so crowded even now with" tourists, sailors in for a shore cele bration, and local spendthrifts that their proprietors wonder what more can happen when Antwerp is crowded with visitors to the Olympic games. ' There are no spirits sold except surreptitiously but the wine flows so continuously in the gilded cabar ets, and the beer so continuously in the sailors' "estaminets" down near the dopks, that the noise and dancing know no bounds. Some of the dock saloons have been especially rechristened since Antwerp became the chief American port on the continent, to catch the trade of the American sailors and make them feel aa.if they were down by the docks at rome in the anti prohibition days. One finds American sailors reach ing out their unpracticed feet for the bar rails in "Dirty Dick's Place," or "Sailor Jim's" down by the docks, consuming huge schooners of beer that look like the pictures on the frosted windows of 'the biggest beer in town." There are just as many merchant sailors in the expensive cafes, spend ing freely and dancing hard. American consular and other Ant werp authorities arc awake to the ne. cessity of establishing some kind of recreation halls for tlm merchant sailors here, to take the pjace'.of the cafes, but, they told the correspond, ent, there seems as yet no way of do ing it. "Big recreation halls, with plenty of music and light beer would serve- the purpose splendidly," one consular official said. "Jack is bound io spend his money when-ashore."

In this operation the regi ment alone captured 2,220 yards of line, GOO rifles, 225 men and five of ficers, 16 machine guns and two trench mortars and killed riore than a thousand of the enemy.
