None of the belligerents claim any great battles. An attempt by Ger mans to approach British trenches near Pozieres, stopped by the British, was the only movement made by the infantry on the British lines Tuesday. There still is considerable artillery activity in this region, however.
 On the eastern front from the Riga region to the Carpathians in Galicia the day passed without momentous happenings. In the Caucasus region, near Lake Van, the Russians have gained additional successes over the Turks.
 The Serbians, in the Macedonian theatre. are continuing their advance toward Vetrenik, and also have re- pulsed strong Bulgarian attacks northwest of Lake Ostrovo Bombard- ments are proceeding in Lake F. Dor rian region and along the Vardar River.
 AUstr'ans are still smelling Italian positions in the lower Isonzo region, the upper Cordevole valley. and in the valley of the But and Fella rivers. In the Posina valley. on Monte Cimone and near the Aviso the Austr'ans have been forced to give further ground. Italians captured Monte Cauriole. at an altitude of 5000 feet.

DRASTIC IMMIGRATION BILL
 STANDS CHANCE OF PASSAGE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-Drastic restric- tions would be thrown about the immigra- ton of Japanese into the United States and both Hindus and Chinese virtually would be barred from the country by provision that has been written into the immigration bill which has been reported to the house by the immigration committee
 The new features relating to immigrants from Japan would have their most far-reach- ing effect, in the expectation of committee members, in shutting off effectually hte in Aux of Japanese laborers, whose competi- ton with American labor on the Pacific coast has aroused pronounced antiAsiatic sentiment
 As agreed upon tentatively by the com mittee, the exclusion section of the bill in cludes paragraph barring "Hindus and all persons of the Mcngohan or yellow race, and the Malay or brown race"
 For several years representatives from the Pacific states have been fighting for legs- lation to exclude Japanese Chinese and Hindu laborers. Two years ago, after a stormy debate the house immigration com mittee agreed that in order not to burden the pending general immigration bill with an Aslatic exclusion issue, there should be 8 separate exclusion bill The measure later was dropped however, at the suggestion of state department officials, who held that it would seriously complicate negotiations with Japan over the California alien land law.
 Exclusion of Chinese and Japanese stu dents, business men, travellers and certain other excepted classes is not anticipated by members of the committee, but the bill IS expected to put into legal form and ampllfy an informal agreement entered into eight years ago by Secretary of State Root and the Japanese emperor, under which Japan agreed not to issue passports to Japanese laborers emigrating to the United States. Other provisions of the bill would raise the head tax on immigrants to $S and would increase the penalties.
 Both fines and imprisonment are au thorized for offenders, and any steamboat company bringing an alien later deported would be required to refund the cost of the trip.
 Both the Asiatic exclusion section and the literacy test provision of the bill are expected to precipitate vigorous debate when the measure comes up in the house.
 The requirement for literacy test has caused the failure of three previous imml- grafton bills through presidential veto.
