Congress TO Be Asked to Impose H.
literacy Test Upon Immigrants
to United States.
Open 800 A. M.

Advocates OF restrictive immigration
insist that at the close of the war thou-
sands in Europe will turn to the United
States for an asylum. and accordingly
they will make an effort at the forth-
coming session Of Congress to pass the
burnett bill which imposes an illiteracy
test on all aliens that apply Tor adnnls-

This bill was passed in the last Con
Cress by an overwhelming vote in ooth
bodies 1t was vetoed by the President.

Cleveland and later by President Tart
Representative Burnett, Of Alabama
chairman of the House Committee on
Immigration. announced yesterday that

he reintroduced on the first day of the
session. Il am of the opinion that the
bill will become a law in the new Con-
Eress, even if II Is vetoed by the Presi-

thing to do is to require all persons TO
pass a literacy test such as was proposed
in the bill that was vetoed by the Prest-

D. c. GOVERNMENT BEST
In u. S., SAYS NEWMAN
Commissioner Returns from Tour OF
Cities Satisfied that Washington
Leads Them All.

After a tour of the principal commits
siorr-guverned cities of the country, Com
missioner Oliver P. Newman, who re-
turned yesterday, expressed the belief
that Washington has the most perfect
typ Of commission government in the
United States.
The Commission said this form OF
government Is meeting with success ev-
erywhere- Although the new system has
not increased taxes, the people have been
more liberal in sanctioning large ex-
pendltures for municipal development, he
said. This change in the attitude of
the people, he said, is due to the belief
that their money is better protected from
fraud under the commission form of
government.
Mr.. Newman started his trip by Wis
fling Atlanta, where the mayor and old
city council still reign. From there he
visited cities that have made rapid prog
ress under the commission form, and he
expressed the belief yesterday that At
Ianta is standing in its own light. Among
the other cities visited were Mobile, New
Orleans, Houston, Oklahoma City, Des
Moines. Dayton, and New York City.
Mr.. Newman stated that he found no
municipal reforms on his trip that he
will recommend for the District He
said that, comparing Washington, de-

The State Department is making no

regarding the submarine attack on
the Italian liner Ancona, with one
sent here two weeks ago from the

Ambassador Penfeld reported that
the Austrian foreign office had asked

the attack. explaining that the Aus
trian admiralty was having difficulty
in getting into communication with

with the copy of an official statement
from the admiralty stating that 1t
was an Austrian submarine which
attacked the Ancona; that no shots
were fired until the Ancona had disre-
garded a warning and had tried to es-
cape, and that it was untrue that the
submarine had shelIed the vessel or

But the fact that that body has
been doing all these things for years

U. S. UPHOLDS RIGHT
TO FURNISH MUNITIONS
Reply to German Protest Will
Be Based on Fact That Eng
land Controls Seas.

WASHINGTON, April 1O-The latest
violating the spirit of neutrality in per-
mitting arms expectation by the Allies
will not be accepted by the United states.
1t was pointed out today that this point
was raised last September when It be-
came apparent that the German navy
did not intend to contest with England
for control OF the seas At that time the
State Departments legal bureau pre-
pared for President Wilson a comprehen-
slve opinion dealing with the entire prob
lem.
1t was held that this Government would
have been within its rights had 1t pro-
claimed an embargo to prevent eitnes
side from securing munitions when the
war broke out but after the Allied fleet
had assumed the mastery OF the seas
any embargo would have been in Ger
mahy's interest and could properly have
been considered by the Allies an un-
neutral act 1t was stated today that this
was still the Presidents position, which
could hardly be changed at this late day
The suggestion also made in the latest
German declaration that the United
States has acquiesced in the British or
der in council placing ban on German
trade Is met with the statement that this
point already has been fully dealt with
in the note to Great Britain now in the
hands of the British Foreign Office.
All this is to be set forth in a formal
reply to all of the German communlta-
tons which is now being prepared by
Counsellor Lansing, of the State Depart
ment.
