Snow storms for the moment have
brought the operations southwest of
Riga, where apparently a great gen
eral engagement was in the making,
almost to a halt. To the south, in
Volhynia, and across the line in Ga
licia, somewhat spirited isolated
fights have taken place, but with only
the capture of trench elements, re-
spectively, by the Russians and Teu-
tonic allies reported.
In Rumania, only the most minor
operations are chronicled.
On the front in France and Bel
GUM, except on the sector of Hill 304,
near Verdun, artillery duels alone
have taken place. Near Hill 304 the
artillery bombardments on both sides
have been rather severe and grenade
fighting also has taken place. Sew

WILSON TO CONSIDER
CLERKS PAY INCREASE


Washington. Jan. 29--President
Wilson went to the capitol again to-
day for conferences with members of
the senate and house on his legisla-
tive program.
The president was told by Repre-
sentative Sims, of the house commerce
committee, that it would be impos-
sible to secure favorable action in the
house on Mr.. Wilson's original pro-
gram for railroad legislation.
w. II. Wadhams. of the executive
committee of the League to Enforce
Peace, told the president that the or
ganization supported his recent peace
address to the senate.
Mr. Wilson, discussing pay increases
for government clerks throughout
the country with a committee from
the federal employees union, prom
'ised to "give serious and friendly
consideration to the question.

In the house and senate In the early
days of the session, had its ups and
downs today, but finally, thanks TO
the persistence of Mr.. Gonzales of
Dona Ana, one of the authors of the
bill, emerged victorious by the mar
rowest possible margin.
When the house bill was first re-
ported from committee, several days
ago, Mr.. Pardue raised the obiec-
ton that it was unconstitutional, and
it was recommitted. Today it came
back from the committee on judi
ciary with an adverse report. the
report being expressly based on the
alleged unconstitutionality of the
measure. The motion to adopt the
adverse report met with stubborn
opposition, lead by Mr. Gonzales,
who declared that he had consulted
lawyers of ability regarding the
matter and found that they diff
fered as to the Constitutionality of
the question. For that reason he
thought that the court should be
allowed to pass on the question,
On a roll call, the motion to
adopt the report of the committee
was carried by a vote of twenty
nine to seventeen, and the bill was
to all appearances killed. Hardly
had the results been announced,
however, when message was re-
ceived from the senate that the
Identical measure introduced in that
body had been passed. A few min
utes later Mr.. Gonzales moved a
of the rules in order to
take up the senate bill. The mo-
ton carried, and when the bill was
placed on its passage the motion
stood 90 to 23. Speaker Llewellyn
cast the deciding vote in its favor,
and the bill is now ready for Gov
ernor de Baca's signature. Not hav-
ing received thirds vote in
either house, it will not carry the
clause as originally pro-
vided.

Pernambuco, Brazil, Jan. 29.-From
information CLEANED from survivors of
steamers sunk recently in the south
Atlantic by the German raider, 1t has
been learned the raider was a vessel
of the merchant type about 800 feet
long and with parts of her sides move
able. She had two telescope masts,
two telescope tunnels, q false hand
steering gear on the poop-deck, which
concealed her largest gun and four
concealed torpedo tubes.
The steamer, 1t 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
carrying type Of boat, her between
decks space giving accommodations
for many passengers.
The captain of the raider, accord
ing to some of the men brought here,
informed a captured British officer
that he was not interested in passen-
ger boats. He sought only cargo boats,
he said, as he had no accommodations
for women and children. The raider
frequently was repainted and had on
board sufficient material completely
to change her appearance.
There is disagreement among the
men landed here as to whether the
agree, however. that the raider is
thoroughly equipped and that no de-
tail In this respect has been over look
ed AS an example, they say, each
prisoner on boarding the raider is fur
nished with a kit, hammock and
blanket.
Prisoners Closely Guarded.
The prisoners are kept in the hold
between iron doors. Enemy prisoners,
1t was stated, were allowed an hour
daily for exercise, while neutrals, who
wore white bands on their sleeve,
were granted greater liberties, and
also given a Christmas present made
by German girls.
After December q the raider work
ed southwest toward Pernambuco her
most daring feat being the capture of
the British collier Minieh, which had
her rope tenders still over her sides
At 10 o'clock on the morning of jan
uary II 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 6 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 Pernam-
buco.
Quoting a captured British captain
the raider is dangerous boat in the
hands of a clever man.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Today Pres-
dent Wilson vetoed the immigration
bill passed recently by congress, be-
cause of its literacy test provision.
1t was the second time that Presi-
dent Wilson had vetoed an immigra-
ton bill because of the literacy test,
Nd for the same reason similar meas
ures were given vetoes by Presidents
Cleveland and Taft. The president 8
veto message to the house, in which
the bill originated, follows:
Iiteracy Test Wrong.
II very much regret to return this
biu without my signature.
I'm most of the provisions of the
bill / should be very glad to concur,
but | cannot rid myself of the convic-
ton that the literacy test constitutes
a radical change in the policy of the
nation, which is not justified in prin-
ciple. 1t is not test of character, of
quality, or of personal fitness, but
would operate in most cases merely
as a penalty for lack of opportunity
in the country from which the alien
seeking admission came. The oppor-
tunity to gain an education is in many
cases one of the chief opportunities
sought by the immigrant in coming to
