Directing Heads of the Entente Powers Gather
 at Paris For Conference

Paris, March 27.-The conference of since the outbreak of the war, began this morning in the great salon of the ministry of foreign affairs. where many other historic meetings of diplomatists have taken place. No previous meeting there, however, has been of such grave .import, or has been attended by such a representation of world figures in war and diplomacy.
 The subject of the first sitting is the military situation. That Is all that may be said definitely, but it is probable that General Joffre, Earl Kitchener, Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, Lieu tenant General Count Cadorna, General Castelnau and General Roques. the new French war minister. addressed the conference
 The entire company took lunch at the ministry. The afternoon session was de- voted to consideration of economic re- sources of the allies.
 At the conference, which Is held around the same table where peace terms were discussed at the close of the nish-American war, the members are seated, so far as is eXpedient, in groups according to their respective countries representatives. namely (from left 70 right): Leon Bourgeois, minister with out portfolio; Premier Briand (presid-

Measure Will Be Passed Probably Today-Many Amendments Unsuc-

Washington, March 27-The immigra- ton bill, with its literacy test provision intact, will pass the House probably by tomorrow night
 The literacy test, barring with a few exceptions all aliens over IS years old physically capable of reading who cannot read the English language or some other language or dialect, was approved today by the House working as the committee of the whole, by vote of 225 to S2 This presaged the passage of the bill by an overwhelming majority despite the record of presidential vetoes of several similar measures on account of the literacy .es,
 Many amendments were unsuccessfully offered during the day, but none of inn portance was accepted. Representative Bonnet of New York protested vainly against the provisions relating to the Oriental labor exclusion. He character ized the provisions of thes bill relating Ito Asiatics as an insult to the Japanese government and insisted that Japan had Loyalty maintained the gentlemen agree ment entered into with this country to restrict emigration.

 Never before in the history of Con gress has such slow progress in enact ing appropriation bills been made This fact prompted Senator Underwood some days ago to suggest that the Senate abandon it's custom of excessive talking and get down to business.
 Not one of the IA regular appropria- ton bills has been enacted. One urgent deficiency bill special measure, was put through February 2S.

British and Germans have been fighting eiercely in the region of St. Elo, just south of Ypres, and the British through the explosion of big mine and by in- fantry charges have captured or destroy ed a considerable portion of the German trenches.
 The British infantry storned and took first and second line trenches along a front of 500 yards. London officially an- rounces, and Berlin admits that German trenches in this region were blown up to an extent of 100 yards, and that casualties were caused among the com pany occupying the position
 The bombardment has become intense to the northwest and northeast of Yer dun and considerable activity by the big guns also has been shown in the woeyre region. southeast of the fortress.

 Attempt to Join Zapata

San Antonio. March 27.-Francisco Villa administered a smart defeat to part of the Mexican forces pursuing him and was virtually unopposed by other attachments of the de facto gov ernment army in his ecape from Ma miquipa, according to unofficial but credible reports reaching here today.
 The cordon of Mexican troops which, it had been anonunced, had been drawn across his path gave way with but slight attempt to capture him. the advices received here today stated.
 These reports which, if true, it was pointed out at army headquarters, would indicate that at least part of the Carranza forces were acting only half -heartedly in their co-operation with the American expedition, caused army men tonight to speculate as to the future ofsthe second phase of oper- ations just inaugurated by General Pershing.
