 It is hard to make the average man believe that 4 country can have too much gold. And yet gold or capital is only one factor in industry. You con- not use gold without labor. and we are not getting more labor The only way you can put more gold or more capital into use is by hiring labor away from one employment to another or by bid ding against other buyers for materials and property. The effect Is simply to raise wages and the cost of doing busi- ness until q larger amount of money Is employed in doing the same volume of business.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Final ac- tion on the immigration bill was de- ferred by the senate tonight to permit committee consideration of an amend ment proposed by Senator La Toilette 10 eliminate language excluding per sons who advocate or teach destruc- tion of property. A vote on the passage of the bin probably will be reached to- morrow.
 Senator La Toilette contended that there were other sufficient bars against anarchists, and that the provision to which he objected would shut the doors of the United States to worthy men from other lands because destruction of property had been incidental to d revolution in which they were not con eerned. Other senators opposed elim mating the provision entirely, and it was decided to send the amendment to the committee.

BERLIN, Dec. 13. (by wireless to Sayville) - Dr. Alfred Zimmerman. secretary for foreign affairs discussed today with a member of the staff of the Overseas News Agency the impress sion created in Germany by the atti- tude of the United States toward Ger many and Great Britain as outlined in the Associated Press Washington dis patch of November l9. Dr. Zimmer- mann said
 AS to the impression created: AL most since the beginning of the war two currents of opinion could be dis cerned in Germany Judging by the rules of neutrality, the United States Intentionally favored Great Britain in almost outspoken fashion. according to some; others took the view that the United States was neutral in spirit and action. The discussion between the advocates of these two opinions was some time very animated. This discussion was reopened by the dis patch in question. The parties and newspapers that did not believe that America was observing strict neutrali- ity accepted the dispatch as confirma- tion of their opinion and to the others came as a shock.
 Tn order to understand this effect, one mas only 10 recall the large num- Der of facts which have been before the eyes of the German public during the last few years England has re- peatedly announced that all English ships ought to be ready to destroy German submarines wherever they find them. This has been publicly pro- claimed. as well by private as by or ficial persons in England. Quite re- gently Lord Robert Cecil, in the Brit ish parliament gave expression to this view. \
 The London Times of November 2l published letter from a well known member of parliament and ship owner CRobert PD Houston. promising to every English born captain a prize of c2.000 which. with an English mer- chant ship. destroyed a German sub marine Houston on this occasion add ed that English sailors ought to take the seal law into their own hands Houston was fully aware that he ad vocated and advised actions contrary to the law of nations
 We further know that hostile sub marines have attacked and in some cases have sunk German merchantmen without the slightest warning. Thus were sunk the German steamers Burgemeister. Notmelle, Dorita, the
