AVERSION TO BATHS
 CAUSE DISTURBANCE
MEXICAN DoMEsTIcs RESISTED THE AMERICAN QUARAN-
 TINE RULES.

EI Paso, Texas.-Deep-seate aver sion of Mexican women of the peoa class toward bathing caused anti American riots in Juarez. The riot. ing became so violent that new in ternational complications were feared and it may result in action by the military authorities here.
 Four hundred Mexican women, led by a red-haired girl, started to cross the international bridge to go to thelr places of employment. They were barred by health officers acting under new quaratine rule, which provides that all persons without military passes must take a disinfectant batk of vinegar and gasoline before enter ing Fl Paso.
 The women vigorously refused te submit to the baths. They attempted to push their way past the health Of f1cers and bridge guards but were driven back. Suddenly they turned their fury to a street car, crossing the bridge. The forces of the women were augmented quickly by other women and children and later many men.
 Four street cars in Juarez and On the bridge were attacked. The motor men and conductors were dragged from the cars and beaten. The cars were wrecked and burned.
 A United States mail wagon which t6A 1.,sfd al wrecked by the mob. The driver was beaten
 In the midst of the rioting the MeIi. can authorities issued orders direct ing that no Americans should be per mitted to enter or leave Juarez.
 For hours thousands of Mexicans gathered at the Juarez end of the in- ternational bridge shouting maledic- tions at Americans and the United States troops on this side.
 During the progress of the rioting the impression became general that Villa had taken the city. While the crowds were cursing the Gringoes, the cry of Viva Villa" was started and even the Carranza soldiers joined in the cheering. Jose Maria Sanchez prominent Mexican, was shot to death by Carranza officer for shouting 'Vf va Villa" A number of Gen. Mur- guia's troops were executed for the same reason, according to reports.
 The shooting brought several hun dred troops to the American side Of the bridge, ready to cross into Mexf co in case any bullets fell on this side. So far as is known this did not occur.

TEUTONIC LINE IN
 MOLDAYIA ENTERED
RUSSIANS BREAK THROUGH ON FRONT OF ABOUT TWO
 MILES.

Petrograd.- forces, after artillery preparation, assumed the of fensive against the Austro-German fortified positions on both sides of the KimpolungJacobeni road, near the northwestern frontier of Moldavia, and after stubborn fighting broke through the Teutonic lines along front of nearly two miles, says the official statement issued by the Russian War Department. Prisoners and booty were taken by the Russians, the ex- tent of which has not yet been ascer- tained. Southwest of Riga three sue cessive German attacks were repulsed by the Russians.
 The statement follows:
 Western front: After fierce artil- lery preparation the Germans launch ed an attack against our attachments occupying positions on both sides of the Kainzem-Shlok road, to the west of Riga. The attack was repulsed and the enemy fled in disorder. Two hours later the Germans launched an- other attack on the same front, being again repuIsed After artillery prepa- ration the enemy assumed the offen- sive against our troops occupying po- sitions six versts northwest of the Vil- 1age of Kalnzem, but the attack was arrested by our fire.
 During the night of January 27, af- ter artillery preparation small enemy attachments attacked our posts on the River Shara, in the region of the Ba- ranovichi-Lunineits Railway line. but were driven back to their trenches.
 ''On the same day one of our Far man airplanes in charge of Aviator Ensign Plugin and having as the ob- server Staff Captain Kiselev, while re- turning from reconnaissance, was attacked by German battle plane. After some machine gun fire our air plane caught fire and fell in the re- zion of the River Shara, southeast Of Baranovichi, in front of our wire en- tanglements. The dead bodies of the aviator and observer were brought in the same day
 South of Brody the enemy launch ed an attack against our advance guard, but as the result of our fire and counter attack he fled back in disorder to his trenches, suffering heavy losses.
 North of Kirlibaba an enemy at tack was repelled.
 "Roumanian front: Our detach- ments after artillery preparation as- sumed the offensive on both sides of the Kimpolung-Jacobeni road and af- ter a stubborn fight broke through the enemy's fortified positions on front of three versts.

FLETCHER GOES ID
 HIS MEXICAN POST
FULL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS ARE TO BE RESUMED WITH
 MEXICO IMMEDIATELY.
MORE TROOPS FROM BORDER
Secretary Baker Says Orders Will Be Issued as Soon as Guardsmen Now Under Orders Leave For Their
 Home States.

Washington.-Ful diplomatic rela- tions with Mexico are to be resumed immediately in an effort by the Unit ed States to solve through formal channels the troublesome questions pending with the Carranza govern ment and for it's moral effect in aid ing the first chief to restore order. It was announced after the cabinet meet ing that Henry P. Fletcher, confirmed as ambassador to Mexico months ago would leave for his post in a few days.
 There has been no American am- bassador at Mexico City since Henry Lane Wilson was recalled after the murder of Madero and Huerta's as sumption of power, and formal diplo- matic intercourse has not existed since Huerta handed Charge Nelson O'Shaughnessy his passports on April 23, 1914, upon the landing of American marines at Vera Cruz. The Brazilian minister cared for the inter- ests of the United States for long time; various unofficial agents have been sent to Mexico on special mis- sions, and since the recognition of the de facto Constitutionalist government subordinate officials have been in charge of the embassy
 Secretary of War Baker said that as soon as the 25,0O0 national guards men recently ordered from the Mexi- can border had left for their home c+o+ao addi+;o1ol ,,aiJi4;ovo or, would b1, sent from the border. Definite plans, he said, depend upon transportation facilities.

IMMIGRATION BILL
 VETOED BY WILSON
SECOND TIME PRESIDENT HAS REFUSED TO SIGN MEASURE
 LITERACY TEST CAUSE.
ANOTHER OBJECTION FOUND
Provision of Bill Admitting Aliens Fleeing From Alleged Religious Persecution Might Lead To Diplo-
 matic Situation, 1t le Said.

Washington.-Pres Wilson ve- toed the immigration bill passed re- gently by Congress because of its lit eracy test provision.
 It was the second time that Presi- dent Wilson had vetoed an immigra- tion bill because of the nteracy test, and for the same reason similar meas ures were given vetoes by President Taft and Cleveland.
 The presidents veto message to the House, in which the bill originated, follows:
 T very much regret to return this bill without my signature
 "In most of the provisions of the bill I should be very glad to concur, but I cannot rid myself of the convic- tion that the literacy test constitutes a radical change in the policy of the nation which is not justified in prin- ciple. It 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. The oppor- tunity to gain an education is in many cases one of the chief opportunities sought by the immigrant In coming to the United States, and our experience in the past has not been that the H. literate immigrant is as such an un- desirable immigrant Tests of quail ity and of purpose cannot be objected to on principle, but tests of opportun- ity surely may be.
 Moreover, even if this test might be equitably insisted on, one of the exceptions proposed to it's application involves provision which might lead to very delicate and hazardous diplo- matic situations.
 "The bill exempts from the opera tion of the literacy test, all aliens who shall prove to the satisfaction of the proper immigration officer or to the secretary of labor that they are seeking admission to the United States to avoid religious persecution in the country of their last permanent residence, whether such persecution be evidenced by overt acts or by laws or governmental regulations that dis eriminate against the alien or the race to which he belongs because of his re- ligious faith
 Such provision, so applied and administered, would oblige the officer concerned in effect to pass judgment upon the laws and practices of for eign government and declare that they did or did not constitute religious per secution. This would, to say the least, be most invidious function for any administrative officer of this govern ment to perform, and it is not only possible, but probable, that very se-. rious questions of international jus tice and comity would arise between this government snd the government or governments thus officially con- demned should it's exercise be adopted"
