DONATES 100000
Entire Building Fund To
Be Turned Over to
Hoover

The Rocky Mountain Club, on whose
roster are the names of 500 of Amer
ica's wealthiest mining magnates, will
20 without the luxurious Sl,00O,OOO
clubhouse it has been planning to build
in this city and devote the money to
feeding the starving children of Bel
GUM.
Three months ago the clubs gov
ernors decided to erect a building
which should properly represent the
dignity and wealth of the organization.
Architects and decorators were put
to work evolving the last word in elab-
orateness and luxury and the plans
were almost complete when one of the
clubs members returned to the United
States from Belgium.
He was Herbert c. Hoover, chairman
of the American Commission for Relief
in Belgium. He was not enthusiastic on
the new clubhouse plans.
Give 1000, 900 to Hoover
Last night he addressed his fellow
members in the Bankers Club, 12O
Broadway, and told them of Belgium's
need Of other things than clubhouses.
After the dinner John Hays Hammond,
president of the mining engineers or
ganization, announced that the build
ing fund of $l,00O,OOO would be turned
over TO Mr.. Hoover to use as he
thought best.
NJ Hoover pointed out in his ad-
dresa that OF the s250,000,000 sub
scribed to the Belgian relief work only
So ,o00, ,000 had come from America.
"The Belgians have come to look
upon the United States as their sole
savior" he said; "to look upon the
American flag as the standard which is
fighting to protect them. Knowing that
Americans have done so little, can
feel nothing but shame.
ave started off with high promises
as to American support and American
ideals. We have done little, and
Europe is beginning to take stock Of
the American commission"
Will Solicit Further Funds
The assembled clubmen, representing
millions in copper. silver and other
mine products, listened in silence to
Mr.. Hoover's quiet recital of Belgium'5
needs and Americas shortcomings.
When the tale was ended Mr.. Hammond
arose.
AT n former meeting of this club it
was decided to erect a clubhouse in the
near future" he said. "The need for
such a structure was urgent and still
is 50. Nevertheless, the board of gov
ernors. after hearing from Mr.. Hoover,
have unanimously decided to give prec-
edence TO this work for the children
of Belgium. The members will be
asked to turn over the building fund Of
81 900 900 TO the Relief Commission,
and in pursuance Of the resolution com,
mittees of this clubs membership Will
he appointed in New York and in the
Western states to solicit funds for the

LONG 3-INCH GUN ON FIRST
ARMED SAILING SHIP HERE
"M'tite 'Mie" Praised by Crew of Bark
Quevilley, from Brest.

As the four-masted auxiliary French
bark Quevilley, from Msrseilles and
Brest, was towed to her anchorage in
the upper hsrbor yesterday a long,
gray, 3-inch marine gun showed above
her poop deck. The Quevilley is the
first sailing vessel to enter New YORK
armed, and caused considerable com
ment in shipping circles. "0ld salts"
along the waterfront recalled the days
before the advent of steamships when
guns cleaned along the decks Of fast
American clippers.
The men aboard the Quevilley have
christened the gun "M'tite 'Mie"-my
little lady friend and say she is quite
capable Of taking care of herself.

London, Jan. 29.-The earnest desire
of the British people for assurance
that every possible preparation is be-
ing made for the coming campaign al
ready is leading to criticism of the
Lloyd George government. In its Sec
ond month of existence it has found
it's path paved with obstacles.
The German threats of reprisals for
the British mining of the North Sea
forecast unusual naval activity. II the
Germans attempt to force another issue
with the British navy such as the
battle of Jutland it probably will syn
chronize with an offensive on the West
front.

There is a general belief that Ger
many will use all her strength on land,
sea and air when next she strikes. For
this reason the apparent inactivity oil
the Lloyd George government in pre-
pairing for the struggle to come is rous-
ing the people to criticism.
From all sides the criticism comes
from some quarters mild, from others
severe. Even the Northcliffe press

WILSON VETOES
ALIEN BILL AGAIN
Against Literacy Test
Sees international Peril
in Exemption Plan
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington, Jan. 29.-President Will
SON to-day vetoed the immigration bill
for the second time. President Taf'
vetoed a similar bill. Mr.. Wilson's
chief reason was the same as IN his
first veto. in January, 1918, when ne
sent the bill back to Congress on tho
ground that the lteracy test was zone
of opportunity. not one of character
purpose or quality" and that by deny
ING America to the illiterate such bill
would deprive immigrants of one OF
the very opportunities which they come
here seeking.
In the present bill, however, Congress
tried to meet one of the Presidents OBJ
iections namely, that it would deprive
fugitives from persecution of the right
Of asylum. The bill made exception oil
the cases of persons who were the sup
iects of religious persecution, obvious
" for the purpose of admitting Rus
sian Jews.
The President pounced on this as a
new reason for vetoing the measure
He pointed out that it might cause IN
ternational complications, as 1t would
force the immigration officials to pass
Judgment on the laws of foreign coun-
tries and decide whether or not they
were prosecuting their subjects.
The chances of passage over the
Presidents veto. owing to the short
time remaining before adjournment. are
smau. There probably is two-:hirds
majority in each house for the BILL
however. and heeaders are already at
york 10 see il there is any possibility
of making it effective.
Unfair, Says President
The Presidents veto message TO the
House, in which the bill originated Toi-
lows: -,
'T very much regret to return this
bill without my signature.
"In most Of the provisions OF the
bill | should be very glad to concur, but
| cannot rid myself of the conviction
that the literacy test constitutes a radi-
cal change in the policy of the nation
which is not justified in principle. 1t
IS not a test OF character. Of quality or
of personal fitness, but would operate
in most cases merely as penalty for
lack of opportunity in the country from
which the alien seeking admission
came.

TTONs OF CITIZENSHIP

It would seem that Il the people
were greatly concerned over any one
thing above all others. It would be
in framing the constitution OF their
commonwealth-the charter OF gov
eminent, with which all laws and In
situations are to conform and the
spirit and wisdom of which enter in
to the moral fibre of the community.
The constitution fixes the right OF
the whole people, defines and circum-
scribea them, supposedly for many
years ahead. No provision should
ever be written into 3 state or ma
tional constitution that 10 not OF suf-
ficient worth and OF such general APP
plication az to make 1t in large mea-
sure and fundamental and permanent
principle OF human conduct.
But an examination OF the votes on
the adoption OF state constitutions,
and especially on the adoption OF Inn
portant amendments 10 state consti-
tutions, discloses the fact that less
than one third Of the qualified vot-
ers Of most states signified their
preferences in the matter. The fig
ures reveal shameless and defense
less betrayal by the citizen OF hie
first duty to society. to his neighbor
to the state and to the general gov.
eminent.
We cannot study the statistics oil
those votes without concluding thai
what we need in this country abovS
all other things is an old-fashionet
revival of civic righteousness--tht
thorough preaching of the gospel o.
civic responsibility. The power and
influence OF a state depend, not on
the manifold laws on It's statute books
or on the number OF complex and ex
perimental theories 1t tries. or yet OF
the omnipotent care Of an expensive
bureaucracy, but rather on the ear
