WILSON AND VILLA.
Editor Muscular.

Editor Muscular.
There was once a brave and doughty
English general who marched his men
up the hill and then marched them
down again for which he received q
medal.
Our army marched into Mexico and
then marched out again. We have not
heard of any medals connected with
that clownish farce. This mornings
Muscular depicted a cage in which
the villain villa was to be brought in
to give an account of his villainy, but
the cage was empty, but 1t is safe to
predict that we have not heard the
last of Villa. AS our troops are going
back to our own border the sneers and
leers of "the greaser ignoramuses" are
following, really believing that they
have frightened our troops away and
soon the old border warfare will begin
with sniping and raids on the Texas
border.
1t may be the powers at Washing
ton know what they are doing, but
to man up a tree it looks strange,
don't you think so?

IS TAKING final SRAPE|
Administrations defence
Program Is Nearing End
in Congress.

Washington. Jan. 29.-The admins.
tration's $sO0.OOO.0O0 defense bulge,
began to take final shape In congress
today when the house passed the for
tifications bill carrying q total Of more
than $51,O0O.OOO for coast defenses and
the house naval committee completed
its 1918 naval appropriation bill with
total of more than $351.00O,0O0.
The army appropriation bill. the
third element Of the program. still IL
in the house military committee which
Is expected to complete 1t next week.
Estimates for the army reach a total
of more than 100000. 900. exclusive of
numerous deficiency measures result
ing from the border mobilization and
the rising cost OF war materials.
The only other military legislation
pending is the universal military
training bill before senate sub. conn
mittee which will conclude it's hear
ings this week.
1t is not expected congress will take
any action on the universal training
bill at this session.
The navy bill carries total Of
$351.433.245. as against $4,000. 900
last year. 1t provides for the construc-
ton Of three $4,000 ton battleships at
a total cost OF $2S,17s,592 each: one
battle cruiser at n cost of $26,694, 496;
three scout cruisers at $6,746,145 each:
Is destroyers at $1,74S.612 each; one
destroyer tender at $2.sOs, 900; one sub
marine tender at $2,199. 400 and IS 500
ton type submarines at $1.434,O93 each.
The program is that recommended
by the department and represents one
half of the remaining portion Of the
three year program approved last year.
No small coast defense submersibles
are authorized, the committee having
decided against the small 400 to COO
ton type of boat.
Taking up the problem of getting
under construction the four battle
cruisers authorized last year. the COM
mittee raised the limit of cost for the
hull and machinery to $19,O00.0OO from
$16,50O, 900.
The committee needed Secretary
Daniels recommendations that navy
yards be fitted to build large numbers
of capital ships, authorizing the ex-
penditure Of an additional $12.O0O,O 900
for that purpose in the event the de-
partment is unable to make salts
factory contracts for any vessel in the
present bill or left over from the pre-
ceding measure. This would make
available a total of $1S,00O,O0O for
equipping navy yards.

TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 80. 1917.
WILSON'S VETO.

For the second time. Mr. Wilson has vetoed the
immigration bill on account Of its literacy test.
What pressure was brought to bear, and from what
came will probably remain conjecture
but hope that congress may have the courage to
pass it over the presidential veto.
1t would seem that every right thinking person is
convinced that the United States has been made the
dumping ground for thousands Of Immigrants Of a
type undesirable for American citizenship
We had better assimulate those now here before
opening wide the door for unrestricted immigration
after the close Of the European war The bill
which Mr.. Wilson vetoed yesterday only proposed
to restrict Immigrants to those who can read or write
in their own language.
the easy ingress Of the peoples from northern Eu-
rope and to make more difficult the coming Of the
hordes from Portugal. lower Italy. the Balkans and
Turkey. who are dissmilar from US in spirit hope
and civilization.
If the votes in both the senate and the house on
the passage Of the bill any criterion Of the action
tina. will be taken on the question Of the veto there
would to be hope that the necessary two
thirds majorities might be obtained to pass the bill,
over the veto
When the bill passed the senate only seven mega
tive votes cast. and in the house less
than 100 members went on record in opposition
These largely from the big city districts. where
the unassimated foreign vote is congregated
When Taft vetoed the same BILL the senate
promptly passed it over his veto but the house failed
to muster the necessary two-thirds majority by a
very narrow margin.
When Mr. Wilson vetoed the bill. two years ago.
the house again failed by close vote and conse-
quenty the matter was presented the senate.
Some Of the objections then raised by the president
have been eliminated from the present draft of the
bill and its proponents nope for the necessary two
thirds ma jority when the time comes for action.
But the presidential power in the distribution Of
patronage is more powerful with the average con-
gresham and senator of his own political organiza-
ton than is ofttimes conceived. The plea to sup
port the president is hard to resist.
There is little question but that more than the
necessary two-thrds vote will be available in both
the house and senate, if left to their own free will
and judgment.
AT the time. it is safe to say that there is
question as to the prevailing sentiment among the
rank and file Of the people Of the nation, outside the
great Cities where the foreign vote" is all powerful

Protopopoff's sudden rise is due to his craftiness
as much to the influence of the murdered Ras-

intimate of Rasputin General Kurlov's bloody
executions in the revolutionary years Of 1so5-os

War Operations at Near

With wintry weather prevailing

itary operations have been held to
virtually small engagements.
snowstorms have brought oper-
ations southwest Of Riga, where
apparently a great general en-
gagement was In the making, al.
most to a halt. To the south, In
volhynia and across the line In
Galicia, somewhat spirited isolated
fights have taken place. In Ru-
mania only the most minor oper-
ations are chronicled.
On the front in France and Bel
giliy,,, except on the sector OF Hill
s04 near verdun, artillery duels
alone have taken place. Near Hill
304 the artillery commandments on
both sides have been rather severe
and grenade fighting also has
taken place. Several French at.
tacks against German defenses in
this region Sunday broke down
with heavy casualties, according to
Berlin.
While Berlin says the British in
their attacks against the Turks
on the 1rak front in Asiatic Tur-
key last week suffered heavy
losses. and In addition met with
repulse, London official COM
