By Mary Boyle O'Reilly NAPLES, Italy, March 5, 1914.—Greater hordes of south Europeans than ever have sailed over to the new world will soon be flocking to the United States—AND rO A NEW REGION! By the hundred thousand they will descend upon the whole Pacific coast, direct from the Mediterranean via—the PANAMA CANAL! In Italy alone, over 150,000 passages have already been issued, ON THE INSTALL- MENT PLAN, to prospective members of this great trans Panama migration! Several steamship compantes have formed a pool to encourage the exodus. Unscrupulous agents are counting on profiting enormously from it Piss OReilly | It was consideration of this, doubtless, which led the state department at Washington to send onm ranean consuls e¢ following order, which I have the opportunity of seeing ry “You are’ instructed to report at once what steps have been taken by steamship companies or individuals to pro- mote erhigration from Europe to the Pacific coast via the Panama canal.” After talking with consular agents on the subject, and Types of Immigrants From Mediterranean Countries Who Have ed Through Ellis Island. Map Shows Routes They Took Over Ocean to New York and Route Others May Take to Seattle and Other Pacific Coast Ports After the Panama Canal Is Opened. j interviewing members of the Italian Royal Emigration com- n, I have learned the following facts about this possible undesirable exodus from the south of Europe There are thirteen steamship companies concerned in pro- moting it. Seven are Italian, sailing from Genoa or Napl These Italian lines have a combined carrying capacity of 56,3 passengers per trip. Their vessels are insanitary and crowded. Other than Italian lines, the Austro-American line will undoubtedly be in the pool, it is said, and will bring from Trieste hordes of Greeks, Slavs and Magyars, while two lines that sell tickets In Southern Russia will bring Armenians and Roumantans to the Pacific states. From the Pireaus, port of Athens, two lines, notorious for their Insanitary and poorly equipped ships, will bring Syrians, Greeks and Macedonians. On so long a trip THESE BOATS WILL BECOME VERITABLE HOTBEDS OF DIS- EASE, even if the immigrants start in good health.

What can be done about it?

Asa an inducement, they are selling tickets on the installment plan, at the rate of $1 a week. They have already booked 150,000 passages for Pacific coast ports from Italy alone by this means Recause of their reductions over the common rates, the thirty-day trip to San Francisco will probably cost only $80. The twelve-day trip to New York alone costs $40.
