 FL PASO, Jan 29.-Refugees form a struggling column of more than five miles in length in the rear of the American expeditionary fierce, accord ing to an American cattleman arriv- ing from Mexico today by way of Columbus, N. NJ, who estimated their numbers at above 1900.
 Mormons were riding in automobiles, covered wagons of the prairie schoon CT type, in farm wagons and on hors- es and mules, according to the cattle men. They were driving tteir milk cows ahead of them while behind trampeG hundreds of poor natives. Chinese and others who had no means of transportation or the long trek to the borier Nothing that could be brought out was left behind, it was said. and many of the settlers in the beautiful valley of the Casas Grandes river carried all of their worldly pos sessions with them.
 The head of the troop column was expected to reach Oio Federico tonight and camp near the water holes at that point This is approx imately forty miles from Colonia Dub Ian and is considered the easiest part of the journey out. From Ojo Feder- leo to Tres Papelotes (Three Wind mlllS) Is considered the worst part of the trek to the border. There is no water in this stretch of twenty miles 1d the country resembles a desert with sand. bear grass and cactus. Many of the refugees who gre hiking on foot are expected to suffer on this part of the trip out.
 National guard encampments here which have been abandoned since the guard troops went home will be used to house the refugees who arrive here until they can find homes A large number of vacant tent houses and mess shacks a the camp of the Penn sylvania troops have been offered the Mormon leaders here and will prob ably be accepted for the refugees

 Snow storms for the moment have brought the operations southwest of Riga, where apparently a great general engagement was in the making, almost to a halt. To the south, in Nolhynia, and across the line in Galicia, some what isolated fights have taken place, but with only the capture of trench elements, respectively. by the Russians and TeutOnic allies reported. In Ru- mania only the most minor operations are chronicled.
 On the front in France and Belgium, except on the sector of Hill 304 near Verdun, artillery duels alone have talk en place Near Hill BOA the artillery bombardments on both sides have been rather severe and grenade fighting also has taken place. Several French attacks against the German defenses in this region Sunday broke down with heavy casualties, according to Berlin.
 While Berlin says the British in their attacks against the Tnrks on the Irak front in Asiatic Turkey last week suffered heavy losses and in ad- dition met with repulse a London of ficial communication asserts that Sat urday and Sunday the Britishers in at tacks gained complete possession of Turkish first and second line trenches southwest of Kut-elAmara on front of 4,300 yards and also took third and folfth line trenches on a front of 500 yards. large number of casualties were suffered by the Turks

TRICKERY MAKES GERMAN RAIDER
 HARD TO CATCH
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wirel

PERNAMBUCO. Brazil. Jan. 20 From information gIeaned from surviv- ors of steamers sunk recently in the south Atlantic by the German raider, it has been learned that the raider was vessel of the merchant type, about 300 feet long and with parts of her sides movable. She had two telescope masts, two telescope tunnels, a false hand steering gear on the poop-deck. which concealed her largest gun and four concealed torpedo tubes.
 The steamer, it is said. mounted four 6-inch and two 7-inch guns and also smaller guns, including several of the machine type. She was equipped with ventilators and was of the fruit carry ing type of boat, her between decks space giving accommodations for many prisoners.
 The captain of the raider. according to some of the men brought here, in- formed a captured British officer that he was not interested in passenger boats. He sought only cargo boats he said, as he had no accommodations for women and children. The raider ire quently was re-painted and had on board sufficient material completely to change her appearance
 There is a disagreement among the men landed here as to whether the raider is armOred- All of thefn agree. however that the raider is thoroughly equipped and that no detail in this re- spect has been overlooked. As an ex- ample, they say. each prisoner on boarding the raider is furnished with a kit, hammer, and blanket.
 The prisoners are kept in the hold between iron doors. Enemy prisoners, it was stated, were allowed an hour daily for exercise, while neutrals who wore white bands on their sleeve, were granted liberties and also given a Christmas present made by German girls
 After December 12 the raider worked southwest toward Pernambuco. her most daring feat being the capture of the British collier Minieh. which had her rope lenders still over her sides. At ten o'clock on the morning of Jan uary 21 the raider placed 237 persons from the sunken steamers on board the Japanese steamer Hudson Maru, without an accompanying prize crew. The Japanese captain was ordered to follow the raider until o'clock in the evening when he was to turn west and put into the nearest port The orders were obeyed and the hungry survivors were brought into Pernambuco.
 Quoting a captured British captain, the raider is dangerous boat in the hands of clever man.

Two years ago the house lacked only four votes of the necessary two third majority to pass the bill over the veto, the yeas being 261 and the nays 136. The attempt having failed in the house, no action was taken by the senate.
 When President Taft vetoed a similar measure because of the literacy test. the senate succeeded in overriding him by more than two-third majority, but the house fell short about dozen votes.

Ritter Cold Continues


 BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, (via London), Jan. 29.-(By a staff correspondent of the Associated Press) The bitter cold continues along the entire western front, the ground now being frozen to a depth of several inches. The weather is the cold est this section of France has known in several years. The cold is accom- panied by clear days and star light nights and the booming Of heavy guns is heard on nearly every sector of the British lines.
 Despite the low temperature es- pecially in the upper air, airplanes are exceedingly active in cooperating with the artillery. This activity entails much fighting at attitudes where the mercury registers far below zero. The men in the trenches are resisting the cold won derfully well Many of them frankly say that they much prefer the ice and front to the water and mud of milder weather. Everything possible is being done for the comfort of the men. warm food and warm drinks are served to them every few hours.
 Airmen Are Active
 BERLIN. Jan. 29 (Wireless to Tuekerton) Several exploits by Ger man 2irmen on the western front On January 27 are recounted by the mill tary critic of the Overseas News agency today He writes

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-President Wilson today vetoed the immigra tion bill passed recently by congress, be- cause of the literacy test provision. It was the second time that President Wilson had vetoed the immigration bill for the same reason. The president in his message to congress said he con- sidered the provisions contrary to the policy of the nation. He said the liter acy test was not the proper bar to un- desirable aliens, but would. in many instances, keep rood citizens out of this country.
 When the message was read in the house it was ordered to lie on the tatle until Thursday morning and the charl- pions of the bill began laying their
