Petrograd, Jan. All danger Of a
German attack upon Warsaw, the
chief objective of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, is now past, it was Off
cially announced on Friday in the fol-
lowing statement:
--latest dispatches from Poland
make it plain that Warsaw is no
longer in danger of attack, thanks to
the strategy of Grand Duke Nicholas
and the valor Of our troops.
During the past two days we have
made further progress all along the
line, especially in the Carpathians and
in northern Galicia, where the Aus
.trians are still retreating, leaving
thousands Of prisoners in our hands.
Between the Vistula and the Pr
lica there is violent fighting for the
possession Of trenches, especially in
the region of the Bzura and Rawka
rivers.
sour losses have been heavy, due
to the accuracy of the German artil-
lery, but the German casualties have
been much heavier. At some points
the attacks amounted to no less than
slaughter of the German soldiers. At
Holimow the Germans attempted to
assume the offensive and were de-
feated. The field is covered with
corpses that have lain there since
last Sunday.
North of the Vistula and in East
Prussia we are increasing our pres

Vote of so to on immigration Act
After Change to Favor Refugees
Measure to Be Sent to Presi-

Washington, Jan. 5.-The immigra'
|tion bill, containing the restrictive I'LL
Ieracy test for admission of Aliens
which has been the obstacle In lmml-
grafton reform legislation Tor the
greater part of two national admins
trations. passed the senate on \Satur-
day by a vote of so to z.
The overwhelming majority was re-
corded despite the fact that President
Wilson had indicated he would veto
the measure, as did Mr.. Taft, If 1t
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, O'Gorman, Randell, Reed and
Walsh.
The bill passed the house February
4 last ~ vote Of 241 to 1875.
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
conference on senate amendments;
but administration leaders are conf
dent senate amendments will be &C.
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 TO 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 literacy 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 amendment, declared it
would not violate any treaty obliga-
ton. He pictured the Belgians as a
people without country and without
"a protecting government who needed
asylum.

STE|NBACH TAKEN
BY ALLIED FORCES
Battle for Town in Progress
for Week.
CERNAY is TARGET OF ALLIES
French Continue to lombard Altkirch
-Muelhausen Is Threatened From
Two Sides-Teutons Fight Gal
IantIy to Save Town.

London, Jan. 6.-The allies have en-
tered Steinbach, the town in Alsace
for which they have been battling a
week. The fall of Steinbach was ad-
mitted in an official statement at Ber-
lin.
The next move by the French will
be the tightening of their lines at
Cernay (also called Seunheim), which
they are attacking violently. With
the two towns in their possession the
way will be clear to the environs of
Muelhausen-the objective of the Up
per Alsace campaign. Cernay rs three
miles from Steinbach and eight miles
from Muelhausen.
French guns massed before Altkirch
continue their bombardment of that
important railway center, which also
is but eight miles from Muelhausen,
but slightly west of south. Steinbach,
Cernay, Thanh and Aspach are
grouped just north of west Of Muel-
hansen.
Thus, Muelhausen is threatened
from two quarters-its front on the
west and it's left Sank on the south.
First the official accounts related
the taking of "a few houses" by the
French troops. The furious house-to-
house fighting continued and the
French gradually pressed the invaders
back. A day later the French official
statement recorded the capture of "an-
other row of houses" Today the state
ment told of the taking of the en-
virons of the church and the GENE
terry. The night official made this an
nouncement:
cat Steinbach we carried the whole
village"
The Cernay battle is productive Of
more details of the actual progress
of the attack and counter-attack Of
fetal reports state that in the region
of Cernay the French carried the Ger
man works on the height to the west
of the town: The Germans returned
to the attack, but were repulsed. Later
during the night, with heavier bodies
of troops, they came on again and
with such fury that the French were
compelled to retire. The French re-
formed and directed night counter
attack, which resulted in the routing
of the Germans.
Meanwhile the fighting on the
French right was continuing with
the town itself the field of battle.
During the night the French fought
their way into the town, taking pos
session of the church quarter. The
German reserves directed counter
attack in force, and there was heavy
fighting in the open, in which the
bayonet was used by both sides in the
dark.
The French here also were COM
PEELED to retire, but as in the fight
ing on the hill, they reformed and
retook the neighborhood of the cathe-
dral, digging themselves in. At latest
reports they were holding their adj
vantage against violent counter-at-
tacks of the Germans.
