Most of the structures will be taken over by the War Department and facilities for handling ships will be increased. The island will be no longer used as a temporary prison camp for interned Germans and suspected spies. A total of 2,200 German officers and reser- vists and men of doubtful loyalty have | erson. heen placed on the island since the — beginning of the war, but only 250 | are now left there, the others having | been released or sent to other intern- | | ment camps. The 250 remaining will be sent away from Ellis Island soon. The need of the larga government v nd plant on the island for taking care of immigrants practically came to end when immigration dwin- dled at the beginning of the war. Tm- migrants will hereafter be examined on board their ships and discharged at the .pier, with the ception of those detained on suspicion of violat- ing the immigration laws. Detained immigrants, not under the suspicion of being spies, will be taken to Ellis Island, as before, for inquiry, but a very small part of the Government es- tablishment will be necessary for this v is b Hfl RT—MURPHY.
