PRESIDENT VETOES BILL
TKE' Lit RACY TitT. FOREL
WILSON THINKS.
Effort Will Be Made to Pass the Bill
Over President's Veto, But Many
Believe Cannot Be Done.
Washington.-President Wilson ve
toed the immigration bill because of
the literacy test for admission of
aliens. His message was referred to
the house immigration committee,
whose chairman, Representative Burn
ett, will move that the measure be
passed over the veto.
Much informal discussion among
members of the house followed re
ceipt of tlA veto and there were many
who believed the two-thirds majority
required to pass the oill could not
be procure- Immigration bills con
taining literacy tests were vetoed by
Prsident Cleveland and ; President
Taft, but both failed of iepassage.
Senate leaders insist there would be
no trouble in repassing.the bill in the
upper house. That was done in the
Taft administiation but the lower
house failed to mnuster; a two-thirds
majority.
In -his veto -message President Wil
son told the house which originated
the bill, that he had no pride of opin
ion on the question and that he w-.
not foolish enough to profess to know
.h wishes and ideals of America bet
ter than the body of her chosen Rep
resentativesr6 them." He asked,
however, whether the bi&rested upon
the conscious and unive e nt
and desire of the American people
-pointed out that no political party
ever had avowed a policy of restric
tion in. this fundametal matter gone to
-the. country on- it and been commis
siened to control its legislation.
SMALL BATTLES EVERYWHERE.
IFrench Claim Germans Have Lost
20,000 Mon.
London-Although no big battles,
as battles go in this war, have been
fought of late, there have been engage
mentm in -all the arenas from Asia
'tic Tuirkey to the English Channel ini
which the losses in men and material
probably have been greater in the
aggregate than in many of the battles
of history. According to French re
ports, German attacks against the
allied lines in Flanders, France and
Alsace on the first three days of the
week cost them 20,000 men, to which
must be added the losses suffered in
repeated attacks on the Russian en
trenchments in Central Poland.
All attacks in the West, the Allies'
announcements say, failed except
near Craonne, where it it admitted
the French lost 800 men, largely be
cause of the collapse of an old quarry.
The Germans on the other hand,
assert that they inflicted a severe de
feat on the French at Craonne and
that they repulsed all French attacks
in the Vosges and upper Alsace, with
heavy losses.
Confer With Rockefeller.
New York.-John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., conferred with representatives of
the Colorado mine workers for two
and a half hours in the offices of the
president of the Rockefeller Founda
tion at No. 26 Broadway. The con
dition of the employes of the Colo
rado Fuel & Iron Co., of which Mr.
Rockefeller is a director, was discuss
ed. Neither Mr. Rockefeller nor the
miners officials would discuss the con
ference in detail. Mr. Rockfeller said
there had been an exchange of views.
President Should Appoint.
Charlottesville, Va.-Former Presi
dent William H. Taft in his second
lecture on the Barhour-Page Founde
tion at the U~niversity of .igiia
spoke particalarly of the president's
power of asj4ointment. He made
Imany faults with it and urged its mod
ification in numerous ways. "The ef
Ifeet of the present power of appoint
ment upon the president's prestige
and control in congress," he said, "is
shown in the gradual impairment of
his inflience with members of -con
gress as his term~ lengthens."
