Immigration Bill Killed.

The attempt to pass the immigra
ton bill in the house over the veto
of President Wilson has failed, the
vote being 261 in favor of overriding
the veto and 1876 against it.
Two members voted present, and
with hits attendance 266 ayes would
have been necessary to give the ne
cessary two-thirds. The measure falls
therefore, by five votes.
The vote came at the end of a six
hour debate. The discussion was SHARP

United States May Protest.

Germany's declarations placing the
waters bordering on the British Isles
and France in the war zone and vir
tually declaring a blockade" against
these countries, was taken UP at the
cabinet meeting in Washington.
The stand taken by Germany is re
garded as one of the most serious
developments of the war thus far af
fecting the United States, and what
action, if any, is to be taken by this
government remains in doubt.
In certain official quarters the view
Is expressed that ground is lacking
for a protest, since no objection wa;
raised by this government when the
North sea was strewn with mines By
Great Britain and Germany severa
months ago.
From other quarters it vas indicat

Say Old People We're Murdered.

That five old men and three old wo
men were deliberately chloroformed
to death as they slept in the Ger
man Odd Fellows home on the Tuck
aroe road, neal Yonkers, N. Y, and
that they were murdered because
their age and general debility was toe
much of a care and that their deaths
were announced simply as due to old
age, is the belief of Coroner James
P. Dunn.
The coroner told of his conviction
In this regard after he had concluded
the first session of the inquest which
he is making into the eight deaths al

rants for the arrest of three porters

GERMANY ARMS

issues Virtual Blockade Order
Against French Ports.
AFTER BRITISH TRANSPORTS

Neutral Vessels Advised by Berlin to
Avoid English Channel, Under Peril
of Destruction.
Germany has officially promulgated
what is virtually a blockade order
against France, and warned the ships
of all neutral nations to avoid the
north and west coasts of that country
This statement supplements the an
nouncement given out by the admir-
atty, which was wirelesSed to the
United States and other neutral ma
tions, declaring that after Feb. Is, all
waters surrounding the British Isles
would be considered in the war zone
and that not even neutral merchant
vessels would be free from danger oil
attack, presumably from German sub
marines.
The last statement, however, seem
ingly goes farther than the
ment of Thursday, in that it intimates
German activity against shipping in
the English channel at once.
The reason for this step, as given
in a statement issued by the ch1ei
admiral of the staff of the German
navy, is that the kaiser intends to
make a determined effort to prevent
the transportation of Lord Kitchen
er's new British army to the Cont
nent. The order follows:
Finland is on the eve of shipping
numerous troops and large quantities
of war material to France. Against
these English transports we will pro
coed with all the means of warfare
at our disposal.
Neutral shipping is earnestly a
toned against approaching the north
ern or the western coasts of France
as in these waters such vessels would
run the serious danger of being con
founded with ships whose purposes
are warlike.
THE best route for the North sea
is around Scotland"

n a M ed Samuel.
When he was weaned he was present
ed to the Lord through Eli, to be his
servant in the Tabernacle service and
in his home. The word weaned we may
understand t~o.signify the time when the
child was able to do without his moth
er's care-probably ten years old.
Gods Reproof of Eli.
Our lesson opens with the declara-
ton that the child Samuel 'ministered
unto the Lord before Eli; that is, he
was a servant of the Lord by virtue of
his being a servant to Eli, the Lords
representative and priest. THE word
of Jehovah was precious in those
days'-it was seldom that God SEN
special messages at that time. '.There
was no open vision"-visions and reye.
lations were not hen being given. The
Divine Plan was hidden. The Trim
and Thummim answers of the Lord to
the peoples inquiries had ceased.
1t is supposed that Eli at this time
was about seventy years old-some
think nearer eighty. His vision was
dim. He vas sleeping In II apart
ment, and little Samuel in another.
The latter heard "a voice calling him.
and three times went to Eli to ask
what service he could render, only to
be told that he had not been called. But
by the third time Eli realized that 1t
was God who had called Samuel; and
he instructed the lad that If the voice
should again be heard, he should say,
Speak. Lord; for Thy servant heareth."
The voice came again, and apparent
ly the angel of the Lord appeared to
Samuel at the same time. Then the
Lord gave Il message to Samuel, fore
telling the sad death of Els two sons
and Ellis own death, and that Els
family should neyermore serve the
Lord as priests. The inference is Civ
en- that Ellis SONS misused their posi-
ton as under priests, taking more of
the sacrifices than they were allowed
in the Divine arrangement, and prae-
Using immortality, thus misleading the
people into unrighteousness.
Divine Disapproval of Weak Character.
In the morning Eli inquired of Sam
uel whether the Lord had spoken any
further, and what He said. 1t was a
trial to Samuel to tell his friend and
benefactor the Lords judgment against
himself and his family; but Eli de-
handed to know the full particulars,

Mine RIow-up Kills Twenty.


Twenty miners were killed and 100
escaped death in an explosion in the
Carlisle mine of the New River Coal
company at Fayetteville, Nv. Va.
That so many men escaped after
being entombed was due to the fact
that the cage and shaft were not
damaged. While many were brought
out by the cage. some managed to
climb out through the air shafts.
Four men were rescued by search.
ing parties, who penetrated the mine
soon after the explosion, which is be.
lieyed to have been due to the ignition
of a pocket OF gas from a miners
lamp. One of the rescued men, suffer.
ing from burns, was SEN to a hos.
pital.
Six bodies, none of which has been
identified, were found near where the
explosion occurred, by the first res.
cue party to descend. Later a more
extended search of the mine, follow.
In gthe clearing away of debris, led
to the finding of fourteen more bodies.
All had been killed by after damp
while at work.
