ORGANIZE NEUTRAL SOCIETY
Demand Embargo on Export of Arms
to Allies, and Protection of
U. S. Ships.

Milwaukee.-The American Neu7
trality League of Wisconsin was or
ganized in Milwaukee, when two
score citizens gathered at the
Deutscher club and pledged them
selves to work in every legitimate
way for the strictest neutrality be-
tween the United States and all bel
ligerent nations.
j. l.. O'Connor sounded two of the
keynotes of the organization when
he said it was up to the people of
the United States, aside from those
who are making money, to band to-
gether and demand that congress
pass laws enabling the president to
declare an embargo on all war NUM-
tons to any country engaged in war
and to demand that American trade
with peaceful nations be not inter-
fered with. He also advocated a
massmeeting attended by thousands
who will endorse resolutions calling
for such action.
A motion to call such ameeting in
the near future was adopted. At
this time committee of FIVE will
submit resolutions and a declaration
of what the organization stands for.

Office at Petrograd.

Petrograd, Jan. An danger of a
German attack upon Warsaw, the
chief objective of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, is now past, it was off,
cially announced on Friday In the fol-
lowing statement:
Latest dispatches from Poland
make it plain that Warsaw is no
longer in danger of attack, thanks to
the strategy of Grand Duke Nicholas
and the valor of our troops.
During the past two days we have
made further progress all along the
line, especially in the Carpathians and
in northern Galicia, where the Aus
trians are still retreating, leaving
thousands of prisoners in our hands.
Between the Vistula and the Pr
lea there is violent fighting for the
possession of trenches, especially in
the region Of the Bzura and Rawka
rivers.
"Our losses have been heavy, due
to the accuracy of the German artil-
lery, but the German casualties have
been much heavier At some points
the attacks amounted to no less than
slaughter of the German soldiers. At
Bolimow the Germans attempted to
assume the offensive and were de-
feated The field is covered with
corpses that have lain there since
last Sunday.
North Of the Vistula and in East
Prussia we are increasing our pres
sure.
1.-THE fall Of Przemysl is expected
soon"

Note of so TO on immigration Act Az
ter Change to Favor Refugees From
5eIgium--Measure to Be Sent to the
President This Week.

Washington, Jan. 5.--The immigra-
ton bill, containing the restrictive lit
Ieracy test for admission of aliens,
which has been the obstacle in immi-
grafton reform legislation for the
greater part of two national admins
ltrations, passed the senate on Satur-
day by vote of so to z.
The overwhelming majority was re-
corded despite the fact thai President
Wilson had indicated he would veto
the measure, as did Mr.. Taft, if it
should come 70 him with the educa-
tional test included.
The vote in the senate indicated
that the bill could be repassed by
more than the required two-thirds ma
jority should the president reject the
measure
Senators who voted against the bill
were: Brandegee, McCumber, Mar
tine. O'Gorman, RanGell. Reed and
Walsh.
The bill passed the house Febru-
airy last by vote of 241 to 1875.
Although the senate amended the
house bill in several particulars. the
il1teracy test was unaltered save for
an additional exemption to Belgian
subjects, which was adopted after long
debate.
House leaders probably win ask for
"a conference on senate amendments;
but administration leaders are conf
dent senate amendments will be ac-
copied and the bill sent to the presi-
dent by the middle of next week.
Among senate amendments which
house leaders have said would prob
ably be accepted is one to exclude
from the United States all aliens of
the African race or Of negro blood.
Another strengthens the phraseology
of the prohibition of polygamists.
The closing hours of the days de-
bate were devoted to an amendment
by Senator Lodge to exempt Belgian
farmers from the literacy test and
from the provisions which prohibit
Americans from soliciting or inducing
immigration. The amendment was
adopted by vote Of o. to q.
Senator Root. who made q plea for
the Lodge amendment declared II
would not violate any treaty obIiga-
ton. He pictured the Belgians as a
people without country and without
a protecting government who needed

than to the subsequent treatment of

The Importance of cleanliness can.
not be overemphasized. In our haste
to accomplish task we often sacri-
flee our better judgment, only to learn
that haste at that stage of the work
necessitates waste in time and labor
at later period This is particularly
true in handling milk and cream to
be used for butter on farms The
bodies of the COWS, the utensils, and
the conditions at the barn, the milk
room, and the storage room should
all be clean. These are the primary
factors which affect the cleanliness Of
milk and cream.
The utensils should be of such mate.
rial and construction that they are
easily cleaned and kept so. The in
terror should be smooth, with no
cracks or crevices for dirt ard milk
remnants to find Judgment and be
removed only with difficulty. The
surface should be heavily timed and
the seams filed with solder. Tin.
ware should be kept bright and per-
feet. AS soon as any rust spots make
their appearance an entrance is given
into the soft iron for germs and
small particles of decaying matter,
which are, in consequence, removed
with much more difficulty. The proc
ess of cleaning vessels wbioa have
contained milk should be:
First, to rinse them thoroughly in
cold water, then in lukewarm water.
Second. wash thoroughly with the AID
of some good soap or cleansing pow
der in water as hot as the hand VIII
bear. Third, thoroughly rinse in not
water. Fourth, expose to live steam
from one to two minutes or to boiling
hot water for five minutes in case
steam is not available. Fifth, exposure
II possible, in bright sunlight from
two to three hours.
In this way the tinware can be kept
clean and bright and free from Dac-
terra. Having thoroughly cleaned tne
vessels the prevention of access u
