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

Milwaukee.-Th American Neu-
trality League of Wisconsin was or
gained 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 a meeting in
the near future was adopted. At
this time a committee of five will
submit resolutions and a declaration
of what the organization stands for.

LIKE BOMB FROM AEROPLANE
Pods Containing Brazil Nuts Drop
From Trees Sometimes One Hun
dred Feet High.

In this country Brazil nuts are al.
most as well known as walnuts Yeti
few know the manner of their growth
and the steps taken in their collection
and marketing. The tree itself is the
most majestic in the valley of the
Amazon, where it attains a height
ranging from fifty to one hundred feet.
Generally several hundred trees are
found in a group. The control of the
best producing districts long ago
passed to private individuals, hence
the natives are not free to pick and
sell the nuts at will. The Brazilnut
tree does not begin to bear fruit until
it attains the age of so years or there
abouts, and continues to produce crops
internationally almost forever; at least,
trees known to be hundreds of years
old have produced crops. The pods in
which the nuts are contained drop in
November and December. These pods
are very hard and weigh several
pounds, consequently the trees are
studiously avoided during the period
in which the pods are dropping, since
it would be extremely hazardous for
the gatherers to expose themselves to-
the danger of having the pods fall on
them from such a great height. Each
pod is at least seven inches in diane
ter, and is full of nuts. The pod is
usually opened with machete.

ALIEN BILL PASSED
SENATORS RETAIN THE LITER.
AcY TEsT-MAY REPASS 1T If
EXECUTIVE DOESN'T SIGN.
IBELGIANs ARE EXEMPTED
Note of so to 7 on immigration Act At
ter Change to Favor Refugees From
BeIgium-Measure to Be Sent to the
President This Week.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The fmmigra-
tion bill, containing the restrictive lit
'eracy test for admission of aliens,
which has been the obstacle in imm1-
grafton reform legislation for the
greater part of two national admins
trations, passed the senate on Satur-
day by vote of so to Z.
The overwhelming majority was re-
corded despite the fact that President
Wilson had indicated he would veto
the measure, as did Mr.. Taft, If it
should come 20 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. Rancell. Reed and
Walsh.
The bill passed the house Febru-
airy 4 last by vote Of 241 to 126.
Although the senate amended the
house bill in several particulars. the
literacy test was unaltered save for
an additional exemption to Belgian
subjects, which was adopted after long
debate.
House leaders probably will ask for
a conference on senate amendments;
but administration leaders are conf
dent senate amendments will be &C
cepted 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 we're 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 a vote of a to %.
Senator Root, who made plea for
the Lodge amendment, declared it
would not violate any treaty obliga-
ton. He pictured the Belgians as a
people without country and without
a protecting government who needed
asylum.

Office at Petrograd.

Petrograd, Jan. All 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 1t 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
TRANS are still retreating, leaving
thousands of prisoners in our hands.
Between the Vistula and the Pr
lica 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.
THE fall of Przemysl is expected
