EXCLUSION OF NEGRO
 REJECTED BY HOUSE
Senate Amendment Granting Excmp- tion to Belgian Farmers Also
 Defeated By Congressmen.

Washington, Jan. s.-The immigra- ton bill prescribing a test of literacy for aliens coming into this country was sent to a conference committee of the house and senate yesterday by the house, after a vigorous debate over the amendments written into the measure by the senate. Before send ing the bill to conference, the house registered it's disa greement to the sen ate amendments, excluding mem bers of the African or black race" and exempting from the literacy test and the contract immigration provi- slons of law, Belgian agricultural i'm migrants coming to this country be- cause of conditions caused by the European war
 Both of these amendments caused protracted discussion which kept the house busy throughout the days ses- sion. The negro exclusion amend ment was defeated, 252 to 75, and the Belgian exemption without a division Representative Cullop of Indiana, sought unsuccessfully to broaden the exception in order to admit not only farmers but industrial workers from Belgium, and Mr. Gallagher of Illinois proposed to extend the ex- emption to farmers from Poland
 The house concurred in one amendment, that to exclude all per- sons of "constitutional psychopathic inferiority, and persons with chronic alcoholism

$250, ,00O REQUESTED FOR
 CANAL CELEBRATION
President Wilson Asks For Appropri- ation to Defray Expense of Enter
 taining Foreign Officers.

Washington, Jan. s.-In a confer ence late yesterday with democratic and republican leaders of congress, President Wilson asked for an appro- priation of s250,000 to defray eX penses of the celebration planned for opening of the Panama canal next March.
 The president summoned to the White House just before he took the train for Indianapolis, Senators Over man, Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Gallinger and Representatives Under wood, Sherley and Mann, and laid before them tentative plans for the celebration submitted to him by Sec retaries Bryan, Garrison and Daniels.
 The plan includes the entertai inment of visiting officers of foreign fleets which are to participate in the naval review and pass through the canal, if that is possible, and the transporta tion of the fleet and visitors.
 Democrats and republicans alike approved the plans and the expendi- lures. It was determined that no presidential message would be neces- sary in order to procure funds but it was agreed that another conference should be held with regard to the matter as soon as the president re- turned from Indianapolis.
 Possibility that the naval parade through the canal cannot be held, as suggested recently by Colonel Goe- thals on account of slides, was dis cussed at the conference, but it was agreed that preparations should go forward without regard to such a pos sibility.

A NEW KIND OF THEATER

Mfew weeks ago a remark
~ able little theater at 466
Grand street, New York,
was opened, says a current re-
port. 1t is the outgrowth of
the Nurses settlement. For
eight years festivals and plays
have been presented in the
gymnasium and in Clinton hall
under the direction of Misses
Alice and Irene LowiSohn and
other interested friends of the
settlement and residents in the
district.
From now on the Neighbor-
hood Players, as they are term
ed, are to be appropriately
housed. The theater will be
open every weekday from
l:30 to IL o'clock. and there
viii be a continuous perform
ance, including moving or other
pictures, folk songs and dances
and other delights for eve and
ear. On Saturday and Sunday
afternoons there will be special
ehildrens programs and on
Saturday and Sunday evenings
fine plays.
The opening performance
was "Jephthah's Daughter" a
biblical festival. given with an
cient glory of costume and pro-
cession. The properties and
dresses were all procured or
made in the neighborhood.
The Survey quotes Miss
Wald as saying in her introduc.
tory address:
above the din of industri-
alism and the roar of machin-
cry Of the city, there rises the
hope that a community play
house identified with its neigh
borhOod may recapture and
hold something of the poetry
and the idealism that belong to
its people-not to cling to
meaningless fealties because
they are old and solemn, but in
order to save from ruthless de-
struction precious inheritances,
and also to open wide the door
Of opportunity for the messages
in drama and picture and story
and song, that reflect the NOR.
al and social and art convic-
tons Of our times"

WHERE WAS THE ENGLISH
NAVY?

n HERE is Indignation and
W amazement at Germany
for the sinking of the
Lusitania. Justly so.
There is also no little indig-
nation that England allowed
the Lusitania to be destroyed
when it could have prevented
the disaster.
Though the British admiral
ty knew the Lusitania was in
danger no British war craft of
any sort were sent to convoy
her to port.
Yet the English navy is
twice the size Of the German
navy and there should have
been something to spare for
this purpose. Had a few de-
stroyerSaccompanied the great
passenger ship through the
danger zone there might have
been a different story to tell.
While calling on Germany to
explain her barbarity could We
not with equal justification in
quire Of England why it is that
English ships carrying Ameri-
can passengers are not given
some protection by the English
navy while in English waters?

HELP WIN THE WAR"

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
Housewives in one Of the countries
now at war have been given twenty
rules by the observance Of which
they may help win the war" Their
purpose is to teach thrift in the use
Of foodstuffs so If the worst comes
their country may not be threatened
with starvation. II is conservation OF
a highly utilitarian kind
America is happily not at war,
though the efforts or war are felt on
every hand. There is plenty Of food,
though pr.ces are higher than We
wish they were Yet nations abroad
checked in their productive activities
are putting an unusual strain upon
American food resources. and it may
be worth while. even in this land Of
peace and comparative plenty, to give
thought Of food conservation
Housewives Of the United States
like those abroad, may ''help win the
war" and by the same method. II is
not to be a war against fellow human
beings, but against rising prices and
possibly growing scarcity war to
keep decent living within the means
Of the average limited purse

NOW FOR THEIR SIDE OF
I THE STORY
~ HE American government
W through the state depart

~ HE American government
" through the state depart
ment has made its positi-
on clear to Germany. The note
sets forth clearly and firmly the
American position which is one
of strong remonstrance against
interference with the welfare
of neutrals on the high seas.
Now it is but fair we should
wait and listen to the German
reply. That reply may set
forth facts in the light of which
the German behavior may seem
less brutal and uncalled for.
Germany may say that self
defense is the first law of ma
ture and that being surrounded
by a circle of foes bent upon
her destruction she was oblig-
ed to use the best means pos
sible towards preserving her
safety even though such a
course involved danger to
others.
The German reply may be
such as TO convince US that all
the hideousness Of the present
war is not due to German be-
havior.
At least We should hear the
other side Of the story before
we roll up our sleeves and be-
gin 70 spit.

THE NATURAL LOCATION

n HERE is regret at Hepp-
" ner because the head
quarters Of the Umatilla
forest will be moved TO PEN
dleton but the Heppnerites
can have no just complaint
against Pendleton in this mat
ter.
The request for the removal
Of the office TO PendletOn orr
ginated with st0ckmen, not
with local businessmen. The
change was desired because It
was very inconyenient for
Umatilla county people 70 90 10
Heppner. 1t is easy to under
stand why those men preferred
having the office here.
The matter was placed be-
fore the department with a re-
quest that an investigation be
made to see if the best inter
ests Of the forest service would
not be met by making the
change. The inquiry showed
the change to be desirable and
as stated by this paper yester
day the transfer will be made
in the immediate future, tenn.
porary offices having been Sc
cured here 10 accommodate
the supervisor while the feder
al building is being. erected.
The transfer Of the forestry
office to Pendleton is a tribut'
to this towns excellent geogra
phical position.
