The senate amended the house meas
ure in several particulars.
The amendment exempting Belgian
farmers from the literacy test and
prohibiting Americans from inducing
or aiding immigration, and another
excluding persons OF the African race
or of negro blood are expected to pro-
woke much discussion.

ed he will veto the bill if it comes to

-,ndon. Jan. 5.-Utterly irreconci,

ing armies in the east. In the west
the unprecedented wet weather pre-
cludes operations which could give de
cided advantage to one side or the
other. The battle of the rivers in
Poland has not yet come to an end.
The Germans say they have taken
Borjimow, northeast of Bolimow, a
strong Russian position east OF
Lowicz, and step nearer Warsaw.
This the Russians contradict fatty,
saying that German assaults there
have been repulsed with heavy losses
and that elsewhere the Teutons have
been held at bay. Berlin continues to
report progress and the Russian
statement indicates the Germans have
passed Bolimow, one of the towns
which the Russians were defending
obstinately last week.
The activities OF the Turks in the
Caucasus seem to be assuming an
increasing importance, judging from
the attention the Petrograd official
communications are devoting to this
region. Although not admitting that
the Turks have been victorious it is
conceded by the Russian war office
that the invaders are fighting with
great valor and stubbornness in the
vicinity of the fortified town of Sari
Kamysh.

The Turks say they have taken this
position, but Russia does not admit
this, and adds that the Turks have
suffered enormous losses. Compari

and The like, but it also included
samples Of fancy cooking, fancy
needle work, school exhibits, and an
tique pieces of crochery, metal and
wood.
The Rally Day exercises were
opened by an automobile parade,
the machines for the occasion being
furnished by the citizens of Chapel
Hill This was followed by an en-
tertainment given by several Univer-
sity students. At IL o'clock dinner
was served on the greens below the
chapel. The farmers wives pro
duced great, heaping baskets OF
chicken, sandwiches, cakes, pies, and
tarts; and the ladies Of the towr
