The writer asks for number of addresses of those whom she wishes to help, and I am quite sure that the appearance of her letter will call forth applications for her address. I trust that those who desire to be put into communication with her will not fail to accompany their applico- tions for her name with & stamped, ad- dressed envelope, and also show her the same courtesy if they ask her for any in- formation or counsel. This matter of postage assumes serious dimensions if one has a large correspondence, and those who write and request favors should surely be willing to supply stamps for re- ply. One stamp is small affair. but when Cornerite is inundated with in- quiries that demand letter in answer she should at least be spared unneces- sary expense She gives her time and her trouble, and that is good deal to ask of as busy woman as Mrs. R.

Representatives. Of New York
read to the house a telegram from

out that the amendment as originally
adopted would exclude Russian Jews
because Russia has forbidden Amer

The literacy to y as adopted would
exclude all aliens over 16 physically
capable of reading who cannot read
English or some other language, except
certain relatives OF persons already in
this country and certain classes OF re-

Asiatic exclusion provisions specif-
ically bar Hindus. Pacific coast men,
bers were satisfied with these provis'
ions, which also give legislative recog'
milton to the existing so-called gentle

exclusion of Japanese laborers.

laws regarding smuggling and harbor'
ing OF inadmissible aliens, increases
penalties imposed on steamship com
panies for illegal acts in connection
with immigrant traffic, requires such
companies to repay passage expenses
to rejected aliens. doubles the head
tax from s. TO IS, and imposes re
strictions designed to prevent alier

EAGLE POINT IS T0RPEDOED
Without Warning Ship 10 Sunk With
American On 6oard-EnGllsh-
man Shelled.

Washington. = Consul Frost OF
Queenstown. cabled the state depart
ment that the British steamship Eagle
Point, with one or more Americans on
board, had been torpedoed by a sub
marine.
An official announcement by the
state department, based on the con-
sul's dispatch, says the Eagle Point
was torpedoed without warning 100
miles from land; that all aboard were
saved, and that among the survivors
was one American citizen.
The United States has sent inquiry
to Germany asking whether any Of its
submarines we're concerned in the
sinking OF the British steamer Man
chester Engineer, which is reported in
dispatches from American consular
representatives to have been torpedoed
and sunk without warning while two
American citizens we're aboard.
Secretary Lansing announced that
information had reached the state de-
partment that the steamer Englishman
was first shelled by submarine, and
that after the vessei had stopped she
was torpedoed.
The German government has been
asked whether its submarines were
concerned in the sinking of the Eng
lishman or the damaging of the Brit
ish channel steamer Sussex, while that
ship was carrying rs American pas
sengers.
Dispatches to the state department
from Dover seem, officials said, to bear
out allegations that the Sussex was tor
pedoed. American consular represen'
tatives, 1t was said in the dispatches,
had obtained from survivors at Dover
affidavits confirming those made by
other survivors in France. The con-
tents of the dispatches were not dis
closed by the state department, but it
was said the affidavits were being for
warded by the officials
The state department expects to re-
ceive from Ambassador Gerard at Der.
lin the result OF his inquiry at the Ger
man foreign office into the circum-
stances surrounding the damage Of
the Sussex and abe sinking Of the Eng.
lishman.
