IMMIGRATION FROM BRITAIN.
FLOW TOWARDS AMERICA. London, Jan. 19. Mr. H. Kaston, honorary secretary oi the British Immigration League of Aus tralia, states that lie addressed a law ■meeting of soldiers, and found them intensely interested in Australia, but tin. absence of definite information regardin" the cost of passages, the possibilities oi .employment, and the .terms of land settlement renders such propaganda of small value. American agents are now visiting the camps and dangling tempting baits before the men. guaranteeing employment for 1,000,000 new workers at trades union rates. The inevitable result will lie to divert the tide of emigration in. the Dominions. Mr. Kaston saws he is personally acquainted with two former I officers with a capital of £II,OOO, who, } becoming disgusted with Australia's in-' dbttniteness, decided to go to America.
