this measure and in the general proo-
lem of immigration. The Presioeh.
did not include this bill in his pro-
gram of legislation for this session.
and, inferentially, does not regard IL
as necessary to the country. senator
Smith of South Carolina. chairman OF
the Senate committee on immigration.
who called at the White House today
has announced his purpose of keeping
the bill before the Senate until 1t Is
disposed of. and he is confident it will
be passed.

discussed the question of Jews in Rus

mercial treaty the United States is ex-
pected to negotiate with Russia in the

President Has Busy Day.
The President had an active day.
Senator's Smith and Hardwick Of
Georgia urged him to name Thomas s.
Fielder, former attorney general of
Georgia, as a member of the interstate
trade commission. Senator-elect Phelan
of California paid his respects with
Senator Thomas of Colorado. Senator
Owen and many other congressional
callers were at the executive Offices.

to confer with Mr.. Tumulty.
President Wilson developed little
more of his views as to river and har-
Dor appropriations today when he re-
ceived a delegation representing the
Ohio River Improvement Association,
introduced by Representative Allen. 1t
laid before the President resolutions
adopted at the last meeting of the asso.
citation urging him to approve the
claims of the association that the prof.
ect of a nine-foot stage from Pitts
burgh to Cairo should receive the sane
ton of Congress. The visitors told the
President that the completion of this
project called for about s60.00O,000. and
would benefit the entire country. There
had already been expended, they SAID,
about s23.000.000.
Cannot Approve Separate Projects.
The President told the callers that he
was deeply concerned in what they
had to say. but tht he could not give
his approval to separate projects of
this kind. however worthy they might
be. He wanted to see coordination of
various important projects and compet-
ent authorities pass upon the money
that should be spent on each He did
not see how the country could con-
tinue the piecemeal appropriation plan
for big projects
President Wilson will tomorrow con-
fer with Charles r. Crane of Chicago.
and is expected to ask Mr.. Cranes
views about the attainments of certain
men who are under consideration for
the interstate trade commission. The
President is finding difficulty in get
ting men of the standing he wants for
membership on the commission. He
long ago decided upon Joseph E. Da-
vies for the commission, but Mr.. Da-
vies is the only man agreed upon.

was continued by the Senate today, the

The House bill merely provides that

shall be excluded.
Taken Up on Senator Smiths Motion
The immigration bill, containing the
'literacy test for immigrants coming
into the United States, practically the
same measure that President Taft We
toed and which the Senate passed over
his veto two years ago, became the un-
finished business of the Senate yester-
day afternoon, after Senator Smith of
South Carolina, chairman of the immi-
grafton committee. had moved that it
be taken up and his motion had been
agreed 20 by the Senate.
Senator Reed of Missouri, who is op-
posed to the measure in it's present
form, Immediately began fight
against it and endeavored in every way
to delay the vote on it. He insisted
that the entire bill be read to the SEN

no quorum, compelling roll after roll
call.
Opposition to the Bill.
He was joined by Senator O'Gorman
of New York and Senator MARITIME of
New Jersey in his demand that the bill
be laid aside.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, how
ever. supported Senator Smith of South

hill comes to vote it will pass the
Senate. it has already passed the
House.

COMMENTS FAvORABLY
ON GARRISON'S REPORT
Senator Chamberlain Says Sugges-
tions Carried Out Will Better Pre-
pare q. S. Against Invasion.

Senator Cham berlain, chairman Of the
Senate committee on military affairs.
discussing the annual report of the
Secretary of War, said today:
Il am very much pleased with the
annual report of the Secretary of War
If the suggestions made are carried out
by Congress it will place the country
in better state of preparedness
against attack or invasion than it has
been at any time since the civil war
while the Secretary does not advo-
cate large standing army. he does ex-
press a very strong conviction that the
enlisted personnel of the army should
be increased by at least $4,000 men. and
that methods should be adopted for the
training of more civilians to become
officers in case of necessity. He insists.
too, that some system should be adopt
ed for creating a reserve which miGht
be called upon in case of war to sup
plement the regular army.
AT the last session of Congress
introduced a resolution to authorize the
President to raise the organization OF
the regular army In time OF war or
when war is imminent or on other oc-
casions of grave national emergency
requiring the use of the regular army
to the prescribed statutory maximum
strength, and suspend the restriction OF
law limiting the total enlisted force of
the line of the army to 100000.
This resolution passed the Senate.
and IL it passes the House it Will be
instrumental in putting into effect the
first recommendation of the Secretary
for an increase in the enlisted per-
Sonnel of the army.
Favors Adequate Reserve.
Il would go further than the Secre-
tary in recommending the creation of
an adequate reserve. Every educational
institution in the country which re-
ceives money from the national Treas
ury ought to be required to adopt as
a part of its curriculum a proper train
ing of the student body in the handling
and use of guns.
The Importance of the National
Guard of the several states as a re-
serve upon which the first call is re-
Quired to be made ought not to be
overlooked. I introduced a bill at the
last session of Congress to strengthen
the National Guard. and it. too. de-
serves and ought to receive favorable
action at the hands of Congress-. and
this will be a strong factor in the
creation of a reserve which might be
safely relied upon in case of emer-
gency."

Comment on War Material.
Of war material the report says:
I'VE have on hand in reserve suffl-
cient small arms, smaIl-arm ammuni-

for the 100000 men that would have
to be called into the field in any large

good start toward putting aviation on
a substantial basis. This work should
be followed UP and consistently
pressed.
The universal utilization of motor

vastly increased the mobility of armies.
It is necessary that we keep abreast of
