One Hundred Years Ago

[Meister_000]

That's right, Meister.  Here is the front page from the Seattle Star.

Thanks (just saw this). Won't be long now (couple months) -- wonder how much content of your daily rag there will (all of a sudden) become devoted to nothing but _War-time_ stories and news.

I was thinking last night that, to me at least, it feels as if "we" are _now_ "at War", and election night 2016 was a Pearl Harbor!

Oh for FS.

I'm sure the content will tilt to war based news, especially when Wilson signs the declaration of war on April 7.  After that, things should calm down somewhat.  A fighting force will have to be formed and trained.  The Guard will be called out and they will need training camps.  Logistics of shipping the soldiers and supplies to France will have to be formulated.  If I remember right, American troops didn't start to see heavy action until the early months of 1918.

Years ago I used to read micro film newspapers in a local library, mostly covering 1918.  Everett True was out there lambasting (and clobbering) local townsmen who tried to avoid signing up for service.  Of course he didn't enlist.  Too old, I guess.

I wish those lectures were recorded. Especially the "The Hidden Truth About Rasputin and the Czar's Court."
It is interesting how history is repeating itself. Annie Besant sounds like some of those new-age Hollywood types now promoting various social causes and bitching about capitalism, even though they are beneficiaries, and finding various mystics, gurus, and so forth to follow. She would've made an interesting C2C guest and interesting person and life.

EDISON WILL INVENT DIVER DESTROYER, LONDON THINKS

  London, Feb. 5. British newspapers believe the turning point in the war has been reached. American news and analysis of American naval strength was featured almost to exclusion of news from various fronts and discussion of Britain's own internal affairs in London papers today.
  Naval experts' opinion were spread over columns in the newspapers. They are practically unanimous in their opinion that main American fleet will not serve any purpose which is not already adequately met by present forces of allies. Greatest attention is  centered on weapons which might be used to combat the submarine menace.
  Some opinions bewail failure of America to provide fast cruisers. Others take satisfaction in large number of destroyers and gunboats listed in American register.
  Most interesting comment noted was belief that something new will be produced from Thomas A. Edison's "invention board," appointed as consulting committee by Sec'y of Navy Daniels. Some predictions were that master weapon against the submarine would be revealed once United States entered war.
  All British newspapers united in lauding the spirit of the American navy.
  "Everything justifies the confidence which the United States reposes in its naval strength," declares the Times. "Its officers and men are real sailors," declared the Standard.
  The Standard quotes Farragut's words, "Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead," as typifying the American naval spirit.


WASHINGTON ASKS NATION TO BE CAREFUL

CREW OF THE HOUSATONIC WARNED BY COMMANDER OF SUBMARINE

  LONDON, Feb. 5. The crew of the American steamship Housatonic has been landed at Penzance, England. The Housatonic was warned by the German submarine which sank her, according to John G. Stevens, American consul at Plymouth. Mr. Stevens sent the following telegram to the Associated Press: "Total crew of thirty-seven of IHlousatonic landed at Penzance Saturday. Vessel torpedoed by a German submarine 12:30 Saturday. ' Warned. Crew towed ninety minutes by submarine toward land."
  Mr. Stevens telegraphed to Robert P. Skinner, the American consul general, that the Housatonic was hailed by a German submarine at noon and that, after being warned, the crew took to the boats. The Housatonic was then torpedoed and sunk and the submarine towed the boats to a point off the English coast. The Housatonic carried contraband.
  When hailed by the submarine the Housatonic was flying the American flag and had the American colors painted on her side, says a dispatch to the Central News. The crew was given an hour in which to leave the ship, the submarine commander saying: "I have orders to sink every vessel coming to England."
  The Germans searched the Housatonic and took a quantity of soap, which they said was difficult to obtain. The second mate of the Housatonic was second mate of the American steamer Gunfight when that vessel was sunk by a German vessel off the Scilly islands early in the war.

Immigration act passed over Wilson’s veto

With more than a two-thirds majority, Congress overrides President Woodrow Wilson’s veto of the previous week and passes the Immigration Act. The law required a literacy test for immigrants and barred Asiatic laborers, except for those from countries with special treaties or agreements with the United States, such as the Philippines.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the United States received a majority of the world’s immigrants, with 1.3 million immigrants passing through New York’s Ellis Island in 1907 alone. Various restrictions had been applied against immigrants since the 1890s, but most of those seeking entrance into the United States were accepted.

However, in 1894, the Immigration Restriction League was founded in Boston and subsequently petitioned the U.S. government to legislate that immigrants be required to demonstrate literacy in some language before being accepted. The organization hoped to quell the recent surge of lower-class immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. Congress passed a literacy bill in 1897, but President Grover Cleveland vetoed it. In early 1917, with America’s entrance into World War I three months away, xenophobia was at a new high, and a bill restricting immigration was passed over President Wilson’s veto.

Subsequent immigration to the United States sharply declined, and, in 1924 a law was passed requiring immigrant inspection in countries of origin, leading to the closure of Ellis Island and other major immigrant processing centers. Between 1892 and 1924, some 16 million people successfully immigrated to the United States to seek a better life.

I actually think the internet is getting harder to find things, especially specific things, than it was in the early days. Too many sites/pages? Search engines trying to be too "smart" or driving traffic to commercial sites? One would think a huge meteor being found would be mentioned somewhere, fairly easily. All I could find is the recent reports in the region of meteors, where to watch meteor showers in the region, the observatory, and the clock shop. Also some sites, youtubes about "mysterious booms and sounds" in the Lake Geneva area.

Not to bring politics into this thread but... ;)I would like to, at minimum, go back to pre-65 immigration rules. Where the laws were written to benefit the country and the citizens- not the immigrants, not the big corporations, not the Foundations, not some international body or organization and sought to minimize vast demographic changes or invasions that can cause social and economic discord and allow immigrants to assimilate.

On this subject CSPAN, NPR, etc is streaming the immigration court hearing Washington v Trump. Interesting case laws and precedents (Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Obama, etc) and tough questions by judges. As pointed out his order only covers roughly 15% of the world's Muslim population, countries where there is on-going civil wars, wars, or terrorism, so how can it be "anti-Muslim?"

WHEREABOUTS OF MARJORIE DELBRIDGE A MYSTERY

  The whereabouts of Marjorie Delbndge, 14-year-old white girl who was raised with negroes until the juvenile court decided this was wrong and took her away, is as much a mystery today as it was on the night of Jan. 25, when she disappeared from the home of Mrs. Louis Brock, 6825 Cornell av.
  Judge Bowles in the circuit court questioned "Mammy" Camilla Jackson yesterday, but the colored woman who raised Marjorie said she didn't know where the girl was.
  Marjorie was last seen, when she went to the door of the Brock home to bid "Mammy" good-by after her aged friend had paid her a visit.
