f pi p p i TKE GR F. V. LIF IMGRATIQNMEASURE VETOED BY WILSON Sends Special Message Sack to Congress With Veto THE LIT ERACY TEST Believes in United States Keep^ ing Doors Open to Those Otherwise Fitted. Last week when the immigration bill, with a literacy test recently pass| ed by congress, was sent to President Wilson, he vetoed the measure, as it was expected he would do. With the It veto the President sent a message | which makes very interesting reading. His message said: | "It is unaffected regret that 1 I' find myself constrained by clear conviction to return this bill (H. R. 00(10 K 'An act to regulate the immigration |L of aliens to and the residence of r aliens in the United States'), without , my signature. "Not only do I feel it to bo a serious matter to exercise the power of || veto in any case, because it involves opposing the single judgment of the president to the judgment of a maf* / jority of both houses of a congress, v step which no man who realizes his own liability to error can take withj out great hesitation, but also because ; this particular bill is in so many im; portant respects admirable, well con; eeived and desirable. r"Its enactment into law would undoubtedly enhance the efficiency and improve the methods of handling the important branch of the public ser ivice to which it relates. Hut candoi and a sense of duty with regards tc the responsibility so clearly imposed upon mc by the constitution of matters of legislation leave me no choice but to dissent. MIn two particulars of vital consequence this bill embodies a radical departure from the traditional and long established policy of this country, a policy in which our people have .conceived the very character of thcii f government to be impressed, the very mission and spirit of the nation ir respect to its relation to the peoples of the world outside their borders. II seeks to all but close entirely the gates of asylum which have always been open to those who could find nc where else the right and opportunity of constitutional agitation for what t'lev conceived to be the natural anc inalienable rights of men; and its excludes those to whom the opportunities of elementary education have been denied, without regard to thcii character, their purposes, of thcii I natural capacity. "Restrictions like these, adopte* earlier in our history as a nation would very materially have altorec the course and cooled the humane ardors of our politics. The right o1 political asylum has brought to this country many a man of noble char act1 and elevated purposes who was marked as an outlaw in his own less foutunatc land, and who has yet be come an ornament to our citizenshij and to our public councils. "The children and the compatriots of these illustrious Americans mus stand amazed to see the represents tires of their nation now resolved, ii th fullness of our national strcngti and at the maturity of our great in stitulions, to risk turning such mci buck from our shores without test o quality or purpose. It is difficult fo: nii to believe that the full clfect o this feature of the bill was realize* wlic"' :: was framed and adopted, an< I it ic impossible for me to osscnt to i in form it is here cast.

With three volleys we swept the whole of the German left flank and in 30 minutes the whole ground within reach of our guns was cleared. The Germans left 300 killed. "Later the Germans tried to get around on our left but there our Suberians met them and within ^ few minutes had them on the run again. Meanwhile two German guns, which were covering the movement, were silenced by our artillery, thanks tc which we scarcely lost a man." Step That Cough Now.

With the approach of dry weather and the consequent hardening of the ground, they brought up new troops with the intention of getting in their blow before the full strength of the Anglo-French forces was ready to meet them. Thus far they have made little, if any, headway, but, undismayed, are sending still more troops through Belgium to Ypres and LaBassee, where earlier in the winter they attempted to break their way through to the coast.

"You ask me to send a message to the American people. Rein gan officer and no diplomat, I have no right to do so, but if you like I will tell you three things. "First, every single German and Austrian is quite certain that we will come out on top and will give his last drop of blood to this end.

HAS FIERCE BATTLE A n* a v. fr n ivj tn n * c hd i uo Mill FRuwT Apparently Crisis Developing in Eastern Theatre of War PERHAPS TURNING POINT Great Struggle Along the Front in Galicia Expected to Mark Turning Point, in Campaign A great battle last week developed in Galicia along a 10^-mile front skirt ing the Carpathians. This struggle which is in pursuance of the new Austro-German plan of shifting the weight of attack from central Poland to the south, may mark a turning point in the eastern campaign and hoth the Russians and Teutons attach the highest importance to the outcome. The Austro-German armies, if successful, would effectually cripple Rus ria's drive at northern Hungary. Thus far there are no indications as to the result of the fighting in this battle, which probably is still in its preliminary stage An official statement from Petrograd says merely that the battle is developing on a large scale. To the eastward in Bukowina, there is in progress fighting which is another phase of the Austro-German movement to drive back the Russians to their own territory. Apparently the Russian sweep across Bukowina has been halted. The Russian report states that artillery engagements arc in progress, but gives no information as to the outcome. Meanwhile, the struggle continued in the north, along the Warsaw front. Repeated German attacks were made and at one point on the Bzura attackers broke through to the Russian trenches. The Russian statement says that later they were expelled at the point of bayonet. In the west the Germans renewed their assaults about Soissons, where recently they won a decisive victory. In Alsace the fighting is less intense because of heavy snows. Colds are Often Most Serious. Stop Possible Complications. The Disregard of a Cold has often brought many a regret.

Prepare Now For Dear Eggs Next Fall. If the farmer wishes to benefit by the high prices that eggs arc certain to bring next fall and winter, he should begin to get ready for them at once, say the poultry specialists in the .1 ? ? i. - r .' --i' iivpiii liiicmil ui agriculture. inc way to have eggs late in the year is to hatch pullets early. It is the early hatches from which the early pullets are derived that are the largest money makers for the poultry producer. The early hatched cockerels can be marketed in almost any market in America when they attain a weight of three fourths of a pound to a pound and a | half each, which thoy should reach at about 6 to 10 weeks of age, respectively, at a greater profit to the producei than at any other time of their lives The early hatched pullets, if properly grown, should begin to lay in the fall at the time when eggs arc scarce and high in price. A Few Facts to Remember * Pullets must be well matured before they will lay many eggs. Pullets that start to lay in the fall before cold weather sets in will, as a rule, lay all winter. It is the early hatched pullets that produce eggs in the fall and early win j ter, when prices arc high. February, March, and April are the months to do your hatching in ordei to secure early hatched pullets. Yearling and 2-year-old hens do no1 lay many eggs in the fall, as they arc molting at that time, and the feec 1.1 - * mey consume goes not only to Keep up the energy and life of the birds but also to put on or grow a new coat ot feathers.
