when attacked. The Times, which un-

THE need OF the moment Is that our
Government take steps calculated to pre-
vent a repetition Of the judicial murder
o. Capt. Fryatt. 1t tas been suggested
already that the German Government
should be warned tina; any punishment
melted out to Capt. Blaikic will be fol-
lowed by precisely similar treatment Of
one of the numerous U-boat commanders
now our prisoners.
W do not think such a warning will
sun &C. for Germany Is entirely callous
about the lives of her Junior officers. She
would care nothing about :he fate Of one
obscure lieutenant who commanded a L.
boat. Our view is tha. the British Gov
should mark its sense of the
gravity OF the issue by intimating that IL
any attempt is made to harm Capt.
Blaikie they will select the German Of
icer. naval or military. OF the highest
rank now a prisoner In these islands and
deal with him In. precisely the same way.
such a warning Germany would un-
derstand. but nothing less. We must end
forever the paralyzing German doctrine
that a merchant captain who tries to
ram a submarine In not entitled to the
usual treatment OF a belligerent. We
sl.all do 1t only by matching the lives of
o. prisoners OF highest available rank
against the incomparsb BILE commanders Of
our mercantile marine"

%stantine has increased and has now at
tained a considerable total. Summing
up the reports. the news agency says:
in the negotiations OF the Entente
Powers with Greece apparently England
maintains moderate views while Fr~acs
asks for most reckless measures.
Demands Of Greece.
Greece demands. unhampered action
by the Greek Government In Old Greece.
the return OF all railroad lines 10

phone stations shall be placed In Greek
hands. the withdrawal of the Entente
troops from Greek soil in the whole dis
trict south OF Larissa, the restoration OF
confscated Greek merchant ships and
the abolition OF the blockade against the
Importation Of food.
Greece. on her part. offers to give an
obligation that she will undertake no hos
Titles against the Entente. The Greek
Government Is said to nave informed the
Entente Powers in a firm tone that IL
has decided to make no other conces-
sions and to defend the honor and dig
nifty OF Greece against arbitrary meas
ures.
Public opinion In Greece II reported
To be so excited that any inconsiderate
step or tactless action m a set fire TO
the powder case"
The situation In the region of Katerina
has been somewhat obscure since late
November. when French and Greek
Royalist troops were reported to be ap-
parently on the point of Il clash over
possession OF the city.
There had been previous trouble there
between Royalist and Venizelist' forces,
and Gen. Sarrail. the Entente com
mander. sent a French force to occupy
the Owl presumably in the carrying out
OF his purpose to establish a neutral
zone along the frontier OF old Greece.
On November 20 a news agency des-
patch from Athens reported that tn.
Greek royalist troops had refused to
evacuate katerina and that Gen. Sarrail
had notified the Athens Government that
unless they did 80 he would be compelled
to use force. Since that time there has
been lighting between the Entente and
Greek forces In Athens and its vicinity,
with concurrent reports that Greece wa
assembling an army in the interior to at
tack the Entente Salonica forces in the
rear simultaneously with assaults by the
Central Powers on the front to the north

IMMIGRATION BILL

Senate Amendment Shuts Out
Those Who Went Back

TRANSIENT LABOR ALS'
Final Passage Of the Measure
Is Expected at To-day's
Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Thc immisra-
ton bill was before the Senate again to-
day and late this afternoon a recess was
taken until tomorrow. when a vote Is
expected on the measure. That 1t viii
pass Is conceded wen by the opponents
Of the measure. The impression stu Is
that the President will veto II owing 70
the literacy test and that an effort Will
be made to pass II over his veto.
The amendments adopted to-day for
the most part were committee amend
ments. Senator Polndexter offered an
amendment to exclude from admission
10 the United states all immigrants in
capable OF becoming naturalizcd Amcri-
can citizens. which failed, Al to -.
Senator Phelan's amendment to ex-
clude ONE not married according TO
American law where men Of the same
race are excluded was defeated without
"a record vote. The Senator explained
that Il was intended TO prevent admls-
sion OF so-called "picture Brides who
come from Japan when their photographs
bring requests for them as wives for
Japanese residents of the United States.
Transient Labor Barred.
The most sweeping OF the committee
amendments adopted was one which re-
quires the immigrant Ia state under oath
before he Is permitted to enter the pur-
pose for which he Is coming to the United
States, how long he intends to stay. to
state that he Is not coming for tenn
porary employment with the intention
Of returning TO hts w country within
n short time. and finally to say whether
he has any intention OF returning to the
country whence he came.
This amendment Is aimed a the immi-
grants from southern Europe who have
come to the United states in recent years
and after staying long enough to acquire
a few hundred dollars In savings have
returned with the money to the lane
whence they same.
Another amendment offered by tho I'm
migration Committee and adopted by the
Senate excludes persons who have come
20 the United States and later returned
to their native land to take up arms
against a country with which the United
States Is at peace. This amendment il
aimed at the reservists and others who
returned to Europe during the presen,
to enlist for service. Under the
terms none OF them can again come into
the United states.
Protest BY Louis Marshall.
Louis Marshall OF New Fork wrote a
letter to Senator Reed. which was read
In the Senate to-day. condemning the bill
in the form in which the committee has
left II. saying that under II men who
might be regarded as patriots by the
American standard could be excluded II
they had been convicted or were charged
IN their own country with having COM
mitted a felony.
The letter pointed out that tho late

II BUILDINGS ARE
CONDEMNED BY THE
INSPECTOR
STRUCTURES IN ALL PARTS OF
THE CITY WERE FOUND UN-
SERvICEABLE AND ARE PRO-
NoUNCED A MENACE.

Buildings IN various parts Of the
city, seventeen in number, have been
condemned by the building inspector,
who has recommended to the board
of city commissioners that each struc-
ture so passed upon be demolished,
pronouncing them all a menace to the
neighborhood in which they are To-
Gated, for two reasons, that Of being
alleged dangerous to people, and also
being choice places for the spread of
fire. The commissioners have sub
nnitted the question to the city attor-
ney, and he has given an opinion on
the same.
In the city attorneys opinion, it is
advised that, because Of the long time
since the condemnation notices were
issued, that all Of them be renewed
before action was taken.
This advice will be followed before
the buildings are demolished by the
city if the respective owners fail to
comply with the notices as served,
the action to be taken only after
every other substitute has failed.
In his complaint, which was written
to the board of commissioners in De-
cember, Building Inspector Shackel-
ford called attention TO the fact that
two rather menacing fires srIcf oc-
Cured last month each had their or
igin in buildings which had been COM
demned by the building inspector.
From the list which is given below,
It is noted that the faulty and alleged
dangerous buildings, or some Of them,
are out in the outskirts of the city,
and the number which has been CON
demned, and which, in the ordinary
course of events, will be razed to the
g, ound, are as follows:
The Condemned Buildings.
Buildings at Nos. 200, PIP, 214, 216,

.U.S.S. DREDGE HERE
AF TERLONGABSENCE
THE CAUCUS WENT TO NEW OR
LEANS SOME WEEKS AGO AND
RETURNS AFTER HAvIN
BEEN REPORTED.

After a stay Of some weeks in the
naval dock at New Orleans, the
dredge Caucus arrived back in port
last night, coming up to her usual
berth at the west side Of Baylen
wharf about o'clock She was
sighted coming up the bay by large
number of people who readily recog-
nized the familiar old craft, and a
number of friends of Capt. Fernandez
were on the pier when the dredge tied
up there.
The Caucus went over to New Or
leans about the latter part of Sep
tember, and was in the naval dock
when the recent hurricane weather
passed over the Crescent City, en-
failing such havoc to shipping. The
dredge could not get out of the dock,
following the storm, for some time
because of the sinking of schooner
very near which effectually blocked
her exit, providing she was ready to
be launched.
1t is said that the Caucus, after
some considerable work at Pensacola,
will get away, probably to Carrabelle
or to st. Andrews, where at both
places, needed work is pressing for
attention. The dredge left off the
st. Andrews work, it was said, when
she went over to New Orleans, on
account of the exhaustion of the
available appropriation.
