The Days
War News

The German attack in France
and Belgium. initiated in reply to
the offensive movement of the al
lies, has developed to such point
that the allies now are on the de-
fensive along the greater part of
the line. The extent OF the Ger
man movement Is shown by the
French statement. which speaks
of night attacks against the allies
all along the front. These on
slaughts apparently we're not in
great force, however, and the as
sertion Is made that they we're all
repulsed with ease.
The Russian War office an
nounces that another defeat has
been inflicted upon the Austrian
forces in Galicla. whose advance
from the Carpathians recently
was checked with serious eonse-
quences TO them. II is asserted
that fortified Austrian positions
near Gorlice we're destroyed and
that 1900 prisoners were cap
tured. The Russian statement
says, howes that the victory
was won on ter a hard battle,
and that fit & still continues,
indicating that the Austrians are
still capable of offering deter
mined resistance.
In Poland the German attack
apparently has shifted 20 the
southwark. The Russian state
ment mentions fighting OF partic-
ular intensity at Rawa, which Is
thirty miles south OF Sochaczew,
the recent center of German ac-
tivity. German attacks there, as
we'll as in east Prussia and in the
region of Mlawa. in Poland, near
the east Prusssan border, are said
TO have been repulsed.
Austrian warships have bonn
barded Belgrade, the Servian cap
ital, from which the Austrians
were driven shortly after they had
occupied II.
According to a report current
in Paris, the lost British battle
ship Formidable was sunk Off
Portsmouth, England's chief naval

SEVERAL AMENDMENTS MADE
Among Those House Leaders Say
Probably Acceptable Ones Re-
IatinE to Negroes and
POIyEamists.

WASHINGTON. Jan 2.-The immiRrat-
tion bill, containing the restrictive lit
eracy test for administration of aliens,
which has been the obstacle in immigre-
tion reform legislation for the greater
part of two national administrations.
passed the senate late today by a vote
OF so to Z. The overwhelming majority
was recorded despite the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson had indicated he would veto
the measure, as did former President
Taft, II 1t should come to him with the
educational test included.
The vote In the senate indicated that
khe bill could be re-passed by more than
the required two-thirds majority should
the president reject the measure.
Senators Voting No.
Senators who voted against the bill
were:
Brand. gee. McCumber. MARITIME, OGor-
man. Randall. Reed and Walsh.
The bill passed the house on February
Z. last, by vote of 241 to 12s.
Although the senate amended the house
bill in several particulars. the hteracy
test was unaltered, save for an addi-
Eonal exemption TO Belgian subjects
which was adopted today after prolonged
debate. House leaders probably will ask
FOR a conference on senate amendments
pm Monday, but administration leaders
were confident senate amendments
would be accepted and the bill sent TO
the president by the middle of next week
Among senate amendments which house
leaders have said probably would be ac-
eepted is one to exclude from the United
States all persons Of the African race or
of negro blood Another strengthens the
phraseology of the prohibition of polyga-
nists

Lodge to exempt Belgian farmers from
the Iiteracy test and from the provisions
which prohibit Americans from soliciting
or inducing immigration, Already several
American organizations are endeavoring

adopted by a vote of "a to %, follows:
