Passed Over Presidents
Veto by Senate
BY Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The immi-
grafton bill containing a iteracy test
provision and vetoed by three presi-
dents today is 4 law of the land.
The final step. in the enactment of the

heed Japan's protest against the Ian
guage of the Asiatic exclusion section
failed to move the senate.
The legislation is the result of a
twenty years fight IN congress. Presi-
dent Wilson once before vetoed a sim
liar will, as did Presidents Taft and
Cleveland for the same reason.
The new law takes effect May next.

RABBIT SAUSAGE is LATEST
Farmers Wives in Oklahoma Are Ad.
vised to Turn Pest to
Good Use.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Jack rabbit
sausage will be new delicacy in Okla
homa as result of the war. In fact
a few farmers in the western part Of
the state last winter found a substi-
tute as palatable as the real article.
At meeting of farmers wives in
Noka county, Mrs. Ida Gregory, coun-
ty woman agent, discussed the efficacy
OF canning soy beans. One woman sug-
gested that the beans were hard to
raise owing to the raids of rabbits.
This objection was quickly discounted
by another woman, who exclaimed:
"Keep the rabbits away until your
beans are foot high; then get shot
gun and let them come. Last year we
had jack rabbit sausage the season
through. BY mixing a bit of pork the
sausage really is better than that made
entirely from pork"

The widening scope Of Red Cross

French PoiIu is ELUSIVE in His
Greeting of American
General.
GLAD TO SEE YOU, OLD CHAP
Democratic Behavior of Officers Con-
tribute to Popularity of American
Troops in France-one Incl

American Field Headquarters. -
Nothing has contributed more toward
the popularity enjoyed by American
troops in France than the democratic
behavior Of their officers. I witnessed
delightful sample Of this the other
day in the city in which Maj. Gen. Rob-
ert Lee Billiard has his headquarters.
Privileged to accompany the general to
a charity performance at the local
theater, l was standing with him and
two of his officers in the lobby during
the intermission, when a "Poilu" hove
into view.
The Frenchman, who wore medals
for valor and stripes showing he had
thrice been wounded, had evidently
consumed goodly quantity of his
country's wine. Afterward we learned
that it was his first day out of hos
pital, and naturally he had celebrated
bit.
"Glad to See You, Old chap!"
"Ah, VOLTA DIES Americains!' he ex-
claimed joyously. I'm indeed glad to
see you old chap!" he went on, shak-
ing the generals hand vigorously. Its
the first time I've met an American,
though heard lot about you in hos
pital. Welcome to France! When are
you coming into the trenches with us?"
With that he plunged into a long
account of his experiences, delivered
In very good English, which he said
he had learned during a trip through
the United States five years before.
General Billiard listened smilingly
and kept right on smiling even when
the Poilu clapped him on the back and
called him his "side partner" and in.
vited him to have a drink.
another time, thank you very
much,' said the general.
The soldier strolled off. In two min
-utes he was back again, but this time
he drew himself up at attention and
gave a fourishing salute.

Excuse me, SIR" he said, "they tell
me you're general. Is that true?"

"Well, then, sir, all I can say is
beg your pardon. I thought you were
a sergeant, sir, the same as am. I'm
not used to your American uniforms"
what do you do at the front, ser
geant?" the general asked.
I'm a machine gunner, sir"
"And you've been to American"
eyes, SIR
would you like to act as instructor
to some of our machine gun men?"
The Poilu was overwhelmed.
1t must be explained that practically
every man in the French army who
speaks English has applied for one job
or another with the Americans. And
here was an American major general
whom be had taken for q mere ser.
geant, inviting him to do what hun.

"You bet your life would" the Poilu
fairly yelled, again Selling the gen.
