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.
The literacy test and the tests an*
restrictions which accompany it, con

'RUSSIANS REPULSED

After One of the Most Stubborn
Fights of the War
SOLDIER RELATES STORY
Russians Are Driven Back fron

In u stubborn fight about Sochac
:c\v on the Bzura river, the German:

:s from which they were repulsed o:
ly after bayonet charges. At Atlank
wo miles south of Sochaczew, in
:ittlc lasting 110 minutes the German
v\st 500 killed.
A Russian officer, commanding"
altery of machine guns, gave his a<.
jount of that fighting:
'"At dusk our battery was ordcrc.1

"Before us was a clear space of 2.

1 hen stopped, evidently suspectin:
hat something was wrong. We we:
\ \ despair when they turned to mov
way, since we were without firinj

"Suddenly the cracking of our mr
hine guns, 20 yards to the left, gav
signal for a general play of the bai

ilrymen fled. They were caught, ho-1
ver, by sharpnel from our artillcr.
"arthcr back and scarcely onescaped.
.4 an hour passed. From the d)
rection of the village there then appeared
the expected long lines of the
German columns, not less than three
regiments. Again we held our fire
for a time, knowing what was expected
of us.
"The Germans gathered on the hill
and began entrenching. They did not
work long. 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."

Apparently Crisis Developing

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.

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
