TEUT0NS LOSE HEAVILY
RUSSIANS BLOCK EFFORT TO
CROSS RIVER.
kaiser's Troops Cross Bzura River
and Cars Forces Wipe Out
Entire Expedition.

Petrograd, Jan. 5.-The Germans
are trying to force the passage of the
Bzura river and are sacrificing many
men in the attempt. Night assaults
are the rule, but up to the present
time they have failed at every point.
The most severe fighting has been
in the neighborhood of KoZloff and Bis
koupi where, under cover of darkness,
the Germans at night showed pontoon
bridges over the river and started
across. Word of the movement had
reached the Russian commander, who
was in readiness. Not until the last
man of the expedition had landed did
the Russians act. Then, while the Ger
mans were being riddled with rapid
tirers their pontoons were put out OF
commission by heavy field artillery.
Not a single German in the expedition
escaped. Those notK1iled or wounded
were taken prisoners.
There has also been fighting with
river
An official communication issued by
the general staff of the Russian army
regarding the fighting in Poland and
Galicia says:
More desperate fighting took place
in the night of January and in
the region of Bolimow. About 3 p. m
on January a brigade of German in
fantry attacked our position near
Borjimow, northeast Of Bolimow, and
forced one of our trenches. But the
German assault was repulsed with
enormous losses; counter-attack, made
with the bayonet. dislodged them We
took six machine guns and a num-
Der of prisoners.
South of the Pilica river fighting
took place at Metaire and Gashek
west of Inowlodz, and also southeast
of Madagascar, near Volmine, where
we repulsed all attacks of the enemy.
I'm Galicia the fighting around Cor
lice and Kaliczyn continues.
"Tn the region of the Uzsok pass
and Rostoki, south of Lisko, we drove
back the enemy, who fled, in great
disorder and captured 1000 prisoners
and some mitrailleuses. An entire
Austrian battalion, with II officers,
surrendered. In this region the staff
of a column Of the enemy, with the
chief wounded, and all documents fell
into our hands.
con our extreme left wing our
troops passing through the whole Of
Bukowina, have occupied the town Of
', Cuszawa, two-thirds of a mile distant
from the Austro-Roumatian frontier"

dent This Week.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The immigra'
ton bill, containing the restrictive lit
eracy test for admission Of Aliens
which has been the obstacle in imml-
grafton reform legislation for the
greater part of two national admins
trations. passed the senate on Satur-
day by vote Of so to 7.
The overwhelming majority was re-
corded despite the fact that President
Wilson had indicated he would veto
the measure, as did Mr. Taft, If II
should come to 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, OGorman, Randell, Reed and
Walsh.
The bill passed the house February
4 last by a vote Of 24l to 1876.
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 ac.
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 10 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 were devoted to an amendment
by Senator Lodge to exempt Belgian
farmers from the lteracy test and
from the provisions which prohibit
Americans from soliciting or inducing
immigration The amendment was
adopted by vote Of "a to %.
Senator Root who made a plea for
the Lodge amendm + declared it
would not violate any treaty obliga,
tion, He pictured the Bclgans as a
people without a country and without
protecting government who needed
asylum.

Washington, Jan. 5-Former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft made
special trip to Washington to plead
with the senate committee on the
Philippines not to enact legislation at
this time holding out promise to the
Philippines of ultimate independence
They are not ready yet, nor quail

Taft, speaking as an expert because or
his intimate knowledge OF the FIJI
pinos gained during his stay on the
islands as governor. He quoted the
words of a prominent Filipino: THE
American ships would not get around
the islands in leaving us TO independ'

begin.

United States in the Philippines. |

AIR RAIDS ON ZEPPELIN BASE
Many German Soldiers Are Killed by
Bombs Thrown by French
Avators.

Amsterdam, Jan. 5.-Many German
soldiers were killed by bombs thrown
by French aviators in a raid upon the
aviation station of Etterbeek. near
Brussels, Saturday. Advices received
here state that this was the third at
tack within a week upon Etterbeek
and that the French flyers succeeded
in partially destroying the German
station
1t is believed here that Etterbeek
Is the main headquarters Of Zeppelin
airships being assembled for raid
upon England and that the success of
the French attacks will delay the Ger
man flight across the North sea.

Germans.
SHELLS HIT TOWN AND SHIPS
Battleship Goliath and Cruiser Fox
Lose One Killed and Twelve
Wounded in Operation
Thirty-Four Prisoners.

Nairobi, British East Africa, via
London, Jan. 5.-The British battle
ship Goliath and light cruiser Fox
have carried out successful operations
against Dar-Es- Salaam, capital OF Ger
man East Africa.
The warships bombarded the town,
inficting considerable damage.
German Vessels Disabled.
All the German vessels in the har-
Dor were disabled. Fourteen Europeans
and 20 natives were taken prisoner.
The British loss was one killed and
II wounded
Dar-Es.Salaam is the best-built town
on the coast of German East Africa
and has an excellent harbor, perfectly
sheltered. From the latter fact the
name is derived. The entrance to the
harbor is through a narrow opening in
a palm-covered shore.
The town is built on the northern
sweep Of the harbor, with wide streets
regularly laid out, and is European in
character. 1t has large and handsome
public buildings, various churches and
government and mission schools.
Built Up by Germans.
Until the German occupation there
was nothing but an insignificant vii
lage. DR.. Carl Peters occupied the bay
in the name of the German East Africa
company in 1887 Fighting with the
Arabs followed, and III 1889 the COM
pany handed over the settlement to
the imperial government.
In 1891 the town was made the ad-
ministrative capital of the colony. 1t
has large commercial interests as well
as being a military station. 1t is the
starting point of railway to Mrogoro.
A submarine cable connects it with
Zanzibar, which is 40 miles further
north on the coast.
Dar-Es- Salaam was laid out by the
Germans on an ambitious scale in the
expectation that it would prove an i'm
portant center of commerce. The chief
exports have been ivory, rubber and
copal. The white population in 1909
was estimated at 1000 and the total
population $4,000.

Uniform State La,Us

n HE importance of securing greater uniform
L ity Of state laws is one which has not been
given sufficient attention, either by business men
or lawyers
The facts that the difference in law on every
day matters OF business is a serious menace to
contractual business is not generally known, but
it is fact
home example is the fact that the law in the
different States simple subject as labels
on canned pineapple differs SO much that different
labels have to be prepared for canned pineapple
for sale in one State from those for sale in ad
joining State. If with wrong label hap
pens to stray across the imaginary line dividing
the two States the vendor is liable to fine and i'm
pri onment.
The subject of securing uniformity in state laws
is now receiving the attention of commissions in
every State and Territory in the Union.
The commissions of the several States have
formed a central organization which drafts and
submits to the several members thereof proposed
uniform acts which are then submitted to the sew
eral state legislatures with the recommendation
that they be enacted in the law. Sixteen such
uniform acts have so far been unanimously recon-
mended for adoption by the different States. OF
these Hawai- has already adopted four. ~n
Robbins B. Anderson of the Honolulu Bar has
recently prepared an excellent article upon the sub
ject, which read by him last week before the
Honolulu Social Science Association. 1t will be
published in full in tOmorrOw's edition of The
Advertiser.
