GERMANS IN FIERCE ATTACK
Five Attacks on the British at Ia

port Charges Fail.

London.-The Germans who are re-
ported from Holland to be making
preparations for big military ven
ture, already have made more de-
termined effort than usual against the
French and British lines in Flanders
and Northern France. They have at
tackled the French to the east Of
Ypres and have made no less than five
attacks on the first division of the
British force on either side of La Bas-
see Canal.
The Germans admit their attack on
the British north Of the canal was UNI
cussessful, but say that on the south
side of the waterway their efforts
brought complete success and that the
British attempts to recapture these
trenches was repulsed with heavy
losses.
These attacks followed heavy Brit
ish bombardment of German positions
beyond La Bassee, in which, according
to Boulogne reports, one big German
gun was destroyed, while the Germans
were prevented from getting second
heavy gun into position.

Sitting beneath the portrait of his

London.-Effectual isolation of the
German garrison of st. Mihiel, the
advance station of the kaiser's line in
Eastern France, was accomplished by
the French gunners, according to an
official report, when they completed
the destruction of the bridges across
the Mouse, which was partly carried
out last Friday. Unless the Mouse

a violent fire from the French batter

are holding the destroyed Village OF
st. Georges, debouched from their po-
sition and captured part of the Ger
man defensive line to the east and es-
tablished themselves on ground OF
great strategic value. Meanwhile, the
Franco-Belgian forces to the east OF

Germans back and, with the support
of the advanced position Of the Brit

press forward still more rapidly, be-

ed plan of the Germans to make a

TURKISH INVASION Is BEGUN

London.-The advance guard Of the
Turkish army undertaking an invasion
of Egypt has reached the British out
posts east of the Suez Canal, where
the first skirmish of the war in this re-
gion took place. Official reports say
the clash was a small affair, only one
British officer being wounded, but dis
patches from Cairo declare the invad-
ers suffered severely from the British
machine guns.
The dispatches do not disclose the
size of the Turkish force engaged, but
say the fight took place east of El
Kantara, which is ON the Suez Canal,
and is the terminus Of the caravan
route from Rafati, the border station
between Egypt and Syria. The dis
lance from Rafati to Ell Kantara is 143
miles, and, as the British had filled In

the invaders would have had to carry
their own water. Even Ell Kantara is

President Says He Has No Pride Of
Opinion on Subject--No Political
Party Ever "Avowed a Policy

Washington.-President Wilson We
toed the immigration bill because of
the literacy test for admission Of
aliens. His message was referred to
the house immigration committee,
whose chairman, Representative Bur
nett, will move that the measure be
passed over the veto
Much informal discussion among
members of the House followed receipt
Of the veto and there were many who
believed the two-thirds majority re-
quired to repass the bill could not be
procured. immigration bills contain
ing literacy tests were vetoed by Pres
ident Cleveland and by President Taft,
but both times failed of repassage.
In his veto message, President Will
son told the House, which originated
the bill, that he had no pride of opinion
on the question or was foolish enough
20 profess to know the wishes and
ideals of America better than the body
OF her chosen representatives know
them" He asked, however, whether
the bill rested upon the conscious and
universal assent and desire of the
American people" and pointed out that
no political party ever had "avowed a
policy Of restriction in this fundament-
al matter, gone to the country ON it
and been commissioned to control its
legislation"
Senate leaders insist there would be
no trouble in repassing the bill in the
upper house. That was done in the
Taft administration, but the lower
house failed to muster two-thirds ma
jority.

witness stand for five hours at the

tions and the cause Of industrial un'
rest. He underwent rigid cross-ex.
animation by Frank Walsh, chairman
of the commission, as to the policies
and actions of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company.
Mr.. Rockefeller freely admitted he
had no knowledge concerning labor
questions, but declared he was in ia.
vor of labor organizing so long as 1t

been much better off had he put his

The witness said that If information
concerning alleged bad conditions in
the mining camps Of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company was furnished him.
he personally would do what he could
to remedy them.
While Rockefeller testified more
than a score of police and private de-

the city hall, and the corridors were
cleared of all persons while the heir
