...immigration authorities has assumed within the last two years proportions that are both appalling and discouraging. Legislative relief may eventually be obtained, but its progress is certain to be rendered slow by the present existing laws and by the indirectness of officialdom. In the meantime, the incoming flood of prospective citizens still continues, so that those in charge of the work must shoulder the double burden of campaigning for reform while attending to duties far heavier than normal. Italy's decision to withhold her share of immigrants until matters shall be adjusted is thus extremely helpful in that it comes...
Back in 1914, the outbreak of the World War brought a flood of war orders that increased our normal demand tremendously. Prices rose. When we went in three years later, it not only multiplied demand once more but it took some four million men out of productive industry. Prices climbed rapidly.

Cornell, after its indifferent success last Saturday against Rochester, has set to work in decided earnest this week. As testimonial to this, Coach Gilmore Dobie has been keeping his Red and White squad scrimmaging until after 6 each afternoon; and the "gloomy Scot" maintains that once the flood lighting system now in process of installation can be put in operation, he will not call it a day until 7 o'clock. Dobie has a very difficult task set for him, but is not in the habit of losing. In his long experience as a coach, notably with North Dakota, Washington...
...flood of volumes engendered by the European conflict seems to have abated. Though a rather diffident Senate has not yet seen fit to usher in a final peace, the reading public has issued the dictum: "Nothing more about the war!" "The Yankee in the British Zone" is a courageous challenge to this decision, and as such, if for no other cause, deserves consideration...
