IMMIGRATION BILL
 UNJUST TO NEGRO.
 SAYS WASHINGTON
Tuskegee Educator Scores Provision Prohibiting Immigration of Black
 Race to United States

Tuskegee. January 3.-(Special Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tusk egee institute for negroes, located here, made a statement today regard ing the amendment incorporated in the Immigration bill just passed by the United States Senate excluding per sons of African descent from entering the United States.
 The final enactment of such law, " he said, Ifs unnecessary, unjust and un- reasonable. Not the least injustice Is in the fact that only a comparatively fe'/ black people enter this country ca ch year and the law classes our race with criminal aliens.
 The passing of such a law will ex- clude not only persons from Africa but from the West Indian Islands, includ- ing the republic of Haiti. San Domingo and Cuba without the services of the West Indian negroes in digging the Panama canal it could hardly have been completed in such satisfactory aud quick way.
 Now that the canal is completed, it is unjust to prohibit the colored peo- pie who have been largely instrumental try.
 Even though they meet the strictest requirements of our Immigration laws the whole matter seems unnecessary and an unfair slap at the colored pep ple the bulk of whom are in, though, I have discovered sentiment among the white people in favor of such a law
 This is not a sectional or political question and I very much hope that when the bill comes up for final con- sideration that this particular amend ment may be defeated

FRENCH BATTERY
 ACQUIRES MASCOT
Tied Rooster to Timber. Fowl Undismayed When
 It Went Into Action

Paris' January 2-It was during the strategic retreat which preceded the vic torlous offensive of the Marne. On the load a French battery passed a cart, containing crate of fat fowls, among them superb cock. A bargain was quietly struck. The cock passed into the hands of the gunners. and was attached by his legs to the Timber of a 70.
 hour later the battery received orders to open fire, in order to cover the retreat of the troops. The cock was forgotten. At the first discharge he Tapped his wings In a frenzied effort to break free. The gunners laughed like the children they were. Came second shot, and a second struggle. But at the third, the bold I'd, now hardened warrior, scrambled on the Timber, and wings Tapping launched vigorous crow. Thence onwards, every time the 75 spoke, the cock added his shrill. piercing, note to It's thunders.
 The gunners were quick to catch the symbolic significance. The cock was no longer mere farmyard fowl, fat and fit for the evening, pot, but the "coq galuois'' symbol of the French nation. So when the'r task was ended, and their guns were silent, they commended Chantecfeer to the good offices and charge of d farmer. promising to claim 1t on their victorious return. and make of it the regimental mascot.

Easy Way to Care for Rahy

Thank you for the good suggestions found in the Corner. I send in my mite. Use cheap folding table, covered with an oio blanket. to lay baby on while hathe' dress and undress him. I pin his clothes and towels to the blanket. draw the table near the fire, and then do not have to take extra steps, and it saves my back. Try it, ye mothers of s~all children. When the work Is done put the table out of sight cheap table can be bought for about 5 cents We live on farm which gives an abundant growth of wintergreen and miikweed. Where Is there a market for these? In what way is milkweed used?
 "A YOUNG MOTHER
 Babies. as well as mo4hers, should be more comfortable for your suggestion anent the morning batl.. The small beings like to roll and kick upon a smooth. firm surface instead of upon the ineuualities. the hills and valleys of the best regulated iat. May I add that a wadded comfort able laid under the old blanket would make the temporary couch luxurious to the tender body? Will botanists and herb- ansts answer the query as to the medjci- nal properties of milkweed? Winter green berries should find a ready market in any town.

ENGLAND'S HOME DEFENSE
 ARMY OVER MILLION MEN

London, December 22.-(Correspond ence Of the Associated Press. )--Almost unobserved, England's home defense army--composed of volunteer tra;nir 2 corps" or the national guard" organ izations and Special constabulary"- has grown to a membership of over a million men; and apparently the mum Ger will be quadrupled before spring Occurrences like the German naval raid on the Hartelpools and Scarboroual I, send hundreds hurrying to take their places in this civil guard, which will have an important task if invasion ever becomes a reality.
 Drilling is carried on generally three or four evenings a week. in parks squares and schoolyards. The force |. to be equipped soon with grey-green uniforms. It already is officered and equipped with engineer. ambulalc ce transport. signal, bicycle and motor. cycle sections.
 As to the duties of these civilian sol diers in the event of an attempted in. vasion. there has been no definite an .nouncement.

how to cook a rather old goose to make it. tender? J. F. K.
 AT old goose bears off the palm for toughness from the rest of the feathered tribe. When in his maturity he has like wise a stronger flavor than is agreeable to fastidious palate. Wash him out thor oughly after cleaning, adding to the sec ond water a teaspoon of soda. Rinse well after this. and cover with fresh cold water in which you have stirred a tabie- spoon of vinegar to extract the rank taste from skin and flesh. Wipe dry inside and out. and stuff with dry crumbs well sea- soned. Lay in the dripping pan and dash over 1t from the boiling tea kettle cup Of water It should cicatrize the surface of the fowl. Cook in a covered roaster, basting every 15 minute, allowing 15 min utes per pound. The steam from the boil ing water and from the heating body will gradually make the flesh tender, if the cooking be slow, long and under a close cover. When the goose Is done keep hot over boiling water while you add giblets. boiled and chopped, to the gravy, thicken with Drowned flour, and boil up once Serve in a sauce boat. Send around apple sauce with the goose

Of all the vehicles in the district and of available stocks of food, fodder ex- plosives and gasoline.
 If a German force managed to land and advanced toward one of these towns 1t would find the town deserted and ali the food stocks, water supply and other material destroyed. That would be the work of the civil guard. .c
 As for rifles, the guard would be sum- posed to carry them more as a deter rent than for use against an enemy The guardsmen would be charged with police duties like preventing panic and punishing would-be looters. Whether they would be permitted to line the heages and ditches and take pot-shots at the invaders, the authorities dis agree. Among the men themselves the opinion Is quite general that it would De dif1icult to deter them from sucri activities :" Even If no invasion comes. this well nlgh universal military training is pound to have great effect on the ma : tion. The physical effects of the method lcai outdoor exercise already are ap- parent to the men, and for this reason if for no other they will demand that the organization may be maintaIned ed alnog more or less similar lines after the war is over. Leaders of the move- ment maintain also that it is bound to have democratizing influence. Workma n and aristocrat have trained side by side through long winter evenings.

VILLA CAVALRY
 ON WAY TO BORDER

Fl Paso January 3.--In addition to the campaigns against the Carranza forces on the east and west seaboards, Villa cavalry and artillery numbering 5000 men are on their way to the northern border. It was said tonight with authority that they were being sent to engage the Car ranza forces at Naco, Sonora, and those of Ynez Salazar in Chihuahua state.
 The troops en route to Sonora will be ccmpelled to march overland from Casas Grandes. a trip of more than one week.
 It became known definitely today that Eduardo Iturbide, whose escape from Mexico City caused much diplomatic cor respondence had crossed the American border and was in hiding on this side of the line. The reasons for the secrecy concerning his whereabouts were not learned
 As governor of the federal district, Ituf bde remained and preserved order upon entrance of the convention troops Diplomatic representations were made that his devotion to duty should not re- suit in his execution by the revolutionists as traitor to the country.

CHANCELLOR TELLS
 HOW GERMANY FEELS
 ABOUT PRESENT WAR
(COntinued from Page Onc)

have noticed how liberally the first war loan was subscribed and 1t will be the same with the next. We shall have funds to continue the war to the end'
 And when does your excellency think that will be?" shrug of the shoulders and a mo- ments hesitation preceded the answer. Impossible to say. I hope it will not be long. We have good news from the east front. The situation there is ia vorable."
 The conversation then turned to the sentiment of the Germans toward the various nations with which they are at war The chancellor said there Seemed to be very little i'll feeling to- ward the French. On the contrary. the men at the front get almost friendly with French soldiers opposite them. But We Germans do not cherish hate" he said. ITO hate is not a Ger manic trait. The vendetta belongs to the Latin races
 q did not want this war" he con- tinued with emphasis For the five years that I have sat here" he said touching the desk before him, "I have labored steadily to develop a good ur- derstanding with England. In my speech in the Reichstag the other day I told of these efforts But all came to naught."
 The chancellor then went on to dis cuss. as in his speech of December 2, his belief that the British government, both steadily encouraging the Rus sian war party to expect ultimate British support. had brought the war nearer and nearer. At this point Colonel Von Mutius, the Emperor's aide de camp. was an- nounced.
 "I am very sorry I cannot give you more time. but I have been summ oned by the Kaiser" said the chancellor. Be- fore going, however, he found time to discuss the feeling in Germany toward Americans.
 There had been. perhaps. a few in- cidents in which Americans had suf- fered annoyance. he acknowledged particularly in the early days or the war, and some Germans were not quick to realize that the language of the English also was spoken by a hundred millions of neutral Americans. War is war" he said. "and regret able mistakes occasionally will occur. But the feeling of the government and the people here is friendly to Amer jeans and I hope they will understand that they are welcome guests
 Then referring briefly to charges of brutality by German soldiers, he con- cluded:
 "Our boys are not bad boys. They do not do such things"

PARIS IS CENTER OF ELABORATE SYSTEM OF ARRANGEMENTS
ExcavatOrs Who Began Work When German Dash Started Have COm-
 pleted Their Work

Paris, December 21.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The army of ex- cavators who, early in September, began to dig Paris in when German siege was threatened, have completed their work
 The General Confederation of Workers alone sent 5000 volunteers. who provided their own digging tools and were merly recompensed by a daily ration of food. Thousands of Belgian refugees hunted from their own land have also assited in the work
 The city now lies in the center of an entrenched camp whose diameter is about 60 miles and whose circumference is nearly 200 miles. This is surrounded by row after row of trenches thoroughly covered in with logs and turf through which loopholes have been left for rife fire. All of them communicate with each other and contain traverse banks of earth to prevent them being enfiladed by in- fantry or machine gun fire. Out beyond them are rife pits and barbed wire en- tanglements placed In all positions where an attack might originate.
 Still other precautions have been taken in front of the advanced line of trenches by digging of deep ditches whose exist ence is hidden by a light covering of branches and turf. making them invisible to approaching cavalry, infantry or ar- tillery and forming veritable traps into which an attacking force might fall prey to the defenders machine guns and rifles.
 The approaches to the trenches from the rear consist of subterranean gall leries which permit the reliefs to be made without any exposure of the men.
 All along this front posts of observa- ton have been established, each of which Is constantly occupied by at least three men provided with powerful field glasses and in direct telephonic communication with headquarters and with the artillery batteries in the immediate vicinity. The emplacements of these batteries are only known to the headquarters staff and to the men who serve the guns. all of which are buried in the earth. only their mug zles protruding. For the benefit of the gunners the ranges of all prominent ob jects in the front have been measured.
 Behind the lines of trenches runs a light railroad line for the purpose of bringing up ammunition and food and also, if necessary, endorsements of men to any point which might be menaced. Further provision for the conveyance of endorsements is at hand in the large numbers of automobiles of all kinds which can make the journey speedily from any one point to another, carrying groups of armed men.
 The existing forts also have been strengthened but now only serve as sup porting points and depots for large bodies of troops resting from their trench duty.
 The Parisian delights in making Sum day trips to observe the works intended for his defense and although he is not permitted to learn many of the secrets of the arrangements he has been able to see sufficient to inspire him with con- fidence.

TOOthpicks at Table

"Is it considered a breach of etiquette to use a toothpick, if necessary, at the table, if the head is covered with a nap kin? F A. M.s
 The appearance of the toothpick at table Is gross violation of polite usages. l have disgustful recollection of seeing a millionaire take out his false teeth at the conclusion of dinner party and rinse them in his finger bowl. Yet the act was but degree more objectionable than to extract toothpick from ones pocket and coolly remove particles of food which are unpleasant to the eater He should
 ear the annoyance rather than sicken the beholders by the sight of an opera tion which should be performed in the dressing room As we'll bring comb to the table to arrange hair and beard

GERMAN DROPS GREETINGS INSTEAD
 OF BOMBS ON CITY

Dunkirl. France, December 26.--(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press. A German airman paid a visit to Dun kirk during Christmas week but in- stead of bombs, he dropped peaceful Christmas greetings. His somewhat hazardous trip from the German lines was undertaken at the request of q Prussian colonel who wanted to know where his son, killed at Soissons. was buried. A parcel of letters and cards which the aviator dropped into the city's principal square contained a let ter asking that information, together with letters from several French air men captured by the Germans.
 The cards were signed by the avia- tor himself, and bore the conventional greetings of the season. together with a message that he had been red to un- dertake the mission by his admiration for the gallantry of the captured French airmen,
