Thousands of Belglon refugees have also assisted in the work. Jaris now lies in the centre of an Intrenched camp, the diameter of which is about sivty miles and whose circumference is nearly two hundred miles. This is surrounded by row after row f trenches thoroughly cov ered in with logs and turf through which loopholes have been left for rifle fire. All f them communicate with each other and contain transverse banks of earth to prevent them being en filaded by infantry or machine gun fire. Out beyond them are rifle pits and barbed wire entainglements plac ed in all positions where an attack might originate. Still other precautions have been taken in front of the advanced line of trenches by digging deep ditches whose elxstence is hidden by a light covering of branches and turf, mak ing them Invisible to approaching cav alry, infantry or artillery, and form ing veritable traps into which an at tacking force might fall a prey to the defenders’ machine guns and rifles. The approaches to the trenches from the rear consist of subterranean galleries permit the eliefs to be made without uny exposure of the men.

The immigration bill, containing the restrictive literary test for admis sion of aliens, passed the Senate late Saturday, 50 to 7. The overwhelm ing majority was recorded despite in dications that President Wilson would veto the measure, as did for mer President Taft, if it should come to him with educational teet included. The vote indicated that the bill could be repassed by more than the required two-thirds majority should the President reject the measure. Senators who voted against the bill were: Brandegee, McCumber, Mar- tine, O’orm&n, Ransdell, Reed and Walsh. ► The bill passed the House last Feb ruary 241 to 126. Although the Sen ate amended the House bill In several particulars, the literary teat was un altered save for an additional exemp-, tlon to Belgian subjects, adopted af ter prolonged debate. Among Senate amendments which House leaders have said probably would be accepted Is one to exclude from the United States all persons of the African race or of negro blood. Another strengthens the phrasealogy of the prohibition of polygamists. Senator Reed offered the African exclusion amendment, which was adopted 29 to 26. Senator Williams of Mississippi debated this proposal at length, declaring there were enough negroes in this country now. Statistics were given to show that enly 8,000 people of African blood came to this country last year. Another amendment by Senator Reed to exclude all but persons of the Caucasian race was defeated, but not until after it had caused considerable discussion relating to the Japanese. Many senators declared it would af fect treaty relations. “Of course the amendment will In clude the Japenese In Us effect." said Senator Reed, "but If there Is any difficulty about the treaty I will co operate In a further amendment to postpone the operation of this clause until treaties may be changed This hill, as now drawn, violates the spirit if not the letter of our treaties. We prefer to do by Indirection what we have not the courage to do by direc tion. We propose to pass an exclu sion bill, but to do It by means of an educational test." The vote against the amendment w as 4 7 to 9. President 4 W1 Ison Monday night be gan receiving manages from foreign rulers congratulating him on his 68th birthday anniversary. The first to arrive were from King George, of Great Britain, add President Estrada Cabrera, of Guatemala. Led by Secretary Bryan, the presi dent’s cabinet called at the White House during the evening. Because of the cancellation of all state din ners and receptions after Mrs. Wil son's death this gathering was the nearest approach to a social affair held In the White House for many monthe. Among the messages received were several from parents of children nam ed for the president, because their birth anniversaries were the same as his. Mr. Wilson usually answers such messages personally. eon II. UU IDF luieis if nun unu see nim imiiRni INDUSTRY DAMAG7D. 201 OF CREW RAVED. Blmon Green. Charleston.

Great Britain's reply to President Wilson’s note protesting against in terference with American ocean com merce will be delivered in a few days, probably early next week. Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey and Attor ney General Sir J. A. Simon Friday discussed the points of International law Involved. The note has also been laid before the admiralty. All Indications point to a concilia tory reply, says a dispatch from Lon don to the New York World, and there is every Indication that the Mritish government will on numerous points make concessions to the Amer ican complaints, adjusting the whole matter satisfactorily. There Is no in dication of fear of serious conse quences ensuing. British olfic{als, in discussing the situation, show that they consider America’s complaints ore susceptible of adjustment. : i— T" ; nr Germany Denies Pence Offer.

IDEAS AIE IN CONTUST Karl Grey for Okuma for /i Dumbs for. Imperial Chancellor HoOweg for Germany TeO ed Duty. Representatives of four countries engaged in the European war contri bute to a current Issue of World’a Work on views on how the Nnited States, as a neutral nation, can be of the most service to humanity. The statements, which follow, embrace the personal views of Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreign offOin of Great Britalnffl Count Okuma, premier of Japan, and Dr. Von Betlt- mann-Hollweg. chancellor of the Ger man empire and the official Austrian view, eubmitted by Dr. Constain The odor Dumbo, the ambassador of Aos- trla-Hungary to the United States. Rlr Edward Grey for Great Britain: "If the World’s Work wr.nts a con tribution to Us central Idea of inquir ing how the Nnited States may beet serve the Interests of ctvlUzatton at this period of change and re-deflnl- tlon; how beet their immunity may hie used; and what Is their opportunity, not only selfishly, hot altruistically; the only thing $ can say is ti»ut a great nation standing outside this European eonfllsh should use what Inuence It can os the side of right and against wrong. Perhaps I may explain how Impossible It to for a member of a government who believe that they are fighting for the Inde pendence of their country, and that all they care for and believe to at ■take, to do anything except pleed the cause of that country and to oak at least for sympathy.” Donat Okuma for Japan: “While It would be both unwise and prema tura to express at this Ume any opin ion as to where and how the present war should be or win be terminated snd peace be restored, I feel certain snd. thereforefl safe to my that the exnelienees of this titanic strunto will bring most forcibly home to as all s sense of the weighty burdens snd the horrible waste of war. Thera snd then will be an opportunity for an impartial wise counsel to prevail. I mean the counsel for a redaction of the spirit of mutual toleration nod esteem among peoples of different races and*creeds, with consequent ad herence on the part ef all aetleae to the principle of redpraeal freedom and equality in their intercourse with each other. Aa iong as nations ef the world line in armed pease and aa long aa they permit thetr peoples to be ruled by social animosities or no tional prajurtcea there can be no real peace and the world will have to suf fer forever. “Rut who Is to be tbe one that shall give such an impartial counsel and have It listened to. To me It looks as If by Providence the United States Is kept apart from the present mo mentous strurgle. ! sincerely hope Dr. Von Rethmaaa-Hollweg for Germany: “I have been asked by the editor of the World’s Work to give on answer to the question, how the Nutt ed States could beet make its neutral ity serviceable for the purpora of helping the cause of humanity dur ing the present terrible war. Tbe answer seems obvious. "The people of the Nnited States will best serve the cause of oeece and humanity by being not only neutral according to the letter of President Wilson’s proclamation, bat also Im partial in the spirit of his further ut terances. This to tbe only way to gain the confidence of the whole world, and' without this confidence the Nnited States can not hone to render the important services to the caues of humanity which it wishes to render. "Germany hopes that peace will come soon. -After the great sacrifices which the German nation has brought, with an nnanlmltv of devo tion without parallel in history, no peace can, however, be acceptable which does not guarantee Germany against a second attack from its pres ent enemies. Germany does not wish to dominate the world, or. like Brit ish navallsm, to ‘rule the waves.’.. All It wants Is equal opoortunltv, onen- door politics, and onen commerce throughout the world. least of all does Germany desire to seek ovosn- sion on the American continent. This, however, hss been said so often offi cially by the Imperial government, that T need hardly repeat fit here." OffWal Austrian View: "When, after the dreadful alaneMer of hun dreds of thousands, doubtless signs of lassltnde, a slackening of the fiery, war-like sntrTt amonrst ‘the nation* In arms’ will be perceptible, the mo ment will have come for President Wijson to nronose once more hla me* diatton to the t dlteerent powers.
