Jewish emigrants bound for America are in great distress in English
and French ports. The steamship companies have introduced strict medical
examinations so as not to carry to America such passengers as will not be
admitted into the United States, and who will have to be taken back on
their steamers. Many men, women and children are not passed on by the
steamers' physicians because of the increased strictness of the examinations,
and many sad scenes follow the acceptance of one member of a family as
a passenger, while others are turned back.
