New Peace Talk?

Hints have been coming out of Ger
many that next weeks session Of the
German Reichstag might witness
some new statement on the subject of
peace by Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg.
Possible point to the suggested

reports of mysterious political hap
penings within the German empire.
The impression has been given that
the expected developments would be
of q dramatic nature and the press
seems to have been completely
muzzled, so far as discussion Of po.
liitcal topics is concerned.

ALIEN BILL IS VETOED
WILSON CALLS LITERARY TEST
RADICAL CHANGE IN POLICY.
Second Time Measure Has Been Disap.
proved by President Who
Regrets Action.

Washington. Jan. 81. - President
Wilson vetoed the immigration bill
passed recently by congress because
Of its literacy test provision.
1t was the second time that Presl-
dent Wilson has vetoed an immigra-
ton bill because Of the literacy test,
and for the same reasons similar meas
ures were given yetoes by Presidents
Taft and Cleveland.
The presidents veto message to the
house In which the bill originated,
follows:
II very much regret to return this
bill without my signature.
I'm most of the provisions of the
bill I should be very glad to concur,

viction that the literacy test cOnsti-

and of purpose cannot be objected to
on principle, but tests Of opportunity
surely may he.
Moreover, even If this test might
be equitably Insisted on, one of the
exceptions proposed to It's application
involves a provision which might lead
to very delicate and hazardous dlplo
matte situations.
"The bill exempts from the opera

shall prove to the satisfaction Of the
