find farming communities suitable
for their needs. Ellis Island and
other stations. jammed with some g.

because of the war, will be cleared
under the plan.
Crews taken from German and
Austrian merchant ships in American

will citizens of friendly countries
now held on account of inability to
meet the requirements of the law
Under the immigration laws the Ger

have the same status as any other
foreigners seeking admission, but as
enemy aliens they are barred.
No aliens turned back at the Nat
ions Eastern gates have been depOrt-
ed since the war began because of
the perils of transatlantic. travel.
At the present time the immigration
service even is holding undesirables
from Cuba. This policy. immigration
officials said tonight, has filled i'm

The immigration service aims to
give all an opportunity to engage in
farming if arrangements can be made
it was said tonight. not only that the
country's food production may be in
creased hat much, but for the bene-
fetal effects on the aliens them
selves The plan, which has been de-
veloped only in a general way, is to
group persons of the same nationality
together. Aliens arriving in the flu
ture, if inadmissable, will be added
to the colonies.
Many aliens have been admitted to
the country recently who in normal
times would have been turned back

cause there was no room at immigra-

GIGANTIC SEA BATTLE
Is Predicted as Result OF Americas
Entrance Into the War.

Berne, Switzerland, via Paris,
April 1.-THE military critic of the
Bazel Aachrichten believes that the
American fleet will sooner or later
lead to a revival of an aggressive sea
policy against Germany and will
probably eliminate in a gigantic bat
tie, which will put the Dardanelles
fight in the shade"
The writer says that the allied
fleets will find behind the German
coast defenses IAN opponent who
knows what disastrous results the
success of sucB an Angio-American
undertaking would have for his faith
erland."
This observer further believes that
If America attempts to transport
troops 10 Europe Germany will aban-
don her submarine campaign in the
Mediterranean and mass all available
u boats against the American trans
ports. He is dubious of the present
value of America as a military aid,
and says that the standing army, the
only present force fit for modern war,
is needed at home TO watch Mexico.
He calculates, however. that the
United States has / 100000 men of
military age whom il can equip and
train, and that the entente has ao-
quired an ally who may prove the
decisive factor in the war.

shooting continued for half an hour.
Describing the appearance of the
German raider when she sunk the
Hallbjorg, Capt. Anderson said:
THE rail OF the Puyme suddenly
dropped and the vessel. which we had
taken for n harmless English mer-
chantman, revealed herself now as a
modern German warship with several
guns pointed at us. We saw several
torpedo tubes. There were two 6
inch guns, fore and aft, and two of
the same kind on lower deck. Lat

Puyme's emergency steering gear
concealed another big gun.

TWENTY-ONE KILLED,

HITS KANSAS TOWNS

WICHITA, Kansas, May 26. -
Twenty-one persons are known to have
been killed, more than so received inju-
ries from which it is said several will
die, and property worth thousands OF
dollars, was destroyed late yesterday
when a tornado swept up through
Sedgewick and Harvey counties in the
south central part Of the State.
Andale, a village of less than 300
inhabitants, bore the brunt of the tor
nado's fury. Eighteen lives were
shifted out there before the storm,
which was accompanied by a blind
ing rain, bore on to the northwest.
The country southeast of Newton
furnished the remaining fatalities,
three lives being lost five miles from
that city.
In the country between Andale and
Newton the tornado cut a path from
a quarter to a half mile wide, in which
IN ground everything to death or de-
struction.
Sedgwick, the largest town between
Andale and Newton, barely escaped
from the storms fury. A few
houses in n corner of its limits were
demolished.

and so swiftly and completely did its
work that telephone and telegraph

PRESIDENT RESTATES
REASONS FOR WAR
WITH THE KAISER

WASHINGTON, May 26. - No ma
ton that respected itself or the rights
of humanity could longer have borne
the overwhelming wrongs that Ger
many inflicted upon the United
States, President Wilson declared in
a letter restating the reasons for the
nations entrance into the war, writ
ten to Representative Helm, of Ala
bama, and made public at the White
House this week.
Heflin had written to the President,
saying some of his recent utterances
on the war apparently had caused
confusion over the issues with Ger
many. In restating his position, the
President again made it clear that
the United States has no quarrel with
the German people but with an auto
crazy (which acts upon purpose 20
which the German people have never
consented"
The letter follows:

any frank or honest persons could

have again and again stated the very
serious and long continued wrongs
which the imperial German Govern
ment has perpetrated against the
rights, the commerce and the citizens
Of the United States. The list is long
and overwhelming. No nation that
respects itself or the rights of human
ity could have borne those wrongs
any longer.
"Our objects in going into this war
have been stated with equal clearness.
The whole of the conception, which |
take to be the conception of our fell
low countrymen, with regard to the
outcome of the war and the terms of
its settlement, l set forth with the
utmost explicitness in an address to
the Senate of the United States on
the 22nd of January last. Again in
my message to Congress on the second
of April last those objects were stat
ed in unmistakable terms.

ONE Of the most important pro

brick plant in West Mexico, is the Sc
curing Of clay leases in that neigh
borhood. The mining at this plant
will be deep mining and not surface
mining. The clay is from seventy
five 10 a hundred feet deep under a
rocky formation. and there is no dan
ger Of the land sinking. The com
pany does not ask for this clay free;
but expects to pay for it. People Of
Mexico and vicinity, who are in favor
Of brick plants, will Of course prompt
ly and cordially cooperate in the
way Of selling their clay. In order
to have brick plants, We must have
the labor and the clay at the disposal
