SENATE AGREES
TO MODIFIED BILL
immigration Act, Changed to
Suit Japan, Passed.
HOUSE LIABLE TO APPROVE

Literary Test to Bring Veto by the
President-Act Retains Provision
Objected to Previously by Three
Executives.
Washington, Jan. 10.-Freed of lam
guage objected to by the state depart
ment because it was offensive to ia
pan, the long discussed immigration
bill was agreed upon by a conference
committee of the two houses, and the
senate promptly adopted the confer
ence report by vote of Sc to 10.
The house is expected to act favor
ably Thursday and send the bill to
the president.
AS originally passed, the bill con-
tanned a provision designed to ex
clude Japanese in the event of abro
cation of the so called gentlemen's
agreement under which Japan for ten
years has prevented her laborers from
coming to the United States, and so
expressed as to make it clear that that
agreement was referred to.
Japanese Made a Protest.
The Japanese embassy called the.
attention of the state department to
the fact that it's government had rig
idly observed it's agreement, and let
it be known that the proposed provi.
sion was offensive.
A substitute finally inserted by the
conference after consulting officials Of
the department says:
"No alien now in any way excluded
or prevented from entering the United
States shall be admitted to the United
States"
The literacy test provision, on ac--
count of which similar bills have been
vetoed by Presidents Cleveland, Taft.
and Wilson, remains intact, in spite
of the fact that President Wilson has
let it be known that it will be the
cause of another veto.
Friends of the bill claim they will
be able to muster enough votes in
both houses to pass it over a veto.

Vienna, Jan. 10.-The Austrian press
has abandoned all hopes of peace ne
gotiations and discuss calmly the pros
pect of a continuance Of the war. asa
Emperor Charles order to the army
informing the soldiers that the entente
had refused to accept the central pow

Washington, Aug s.-The new ma
tional army will be called In incre-
ments of 1000 men, and not in one
group of 100000 as was at first sup
posed. This was announced by Gem
eral Crowder today.
BY thus dividing the men. not only
will their handling be facilitated but
an economic advantage will result
Men whose business 10 necessary to
the government may be spared from

in vital war industries or on the
farms, workmen and harvest hands
can be called gradually. thus prevent

Crowder ruled today.
In a message to the state governors.
General Crowder denied that friendly
aliens must take out first papers be-
