Hail Chaneeiior's Action With Expres-

Berlin, Feb. 1, via London, 40 p. m. The press of Berlin receives the an nouncement of unrestricted submarine warfare with delight. The liberal or gans almost without exception abandon their old-time opposition and hail the chancelior'S words with warmly patri- otto expressions of approval. Most of the journals devote a paragraph or more to the probable effect on neutrals, especially America.
 They declare almost without excep- ton that they hope the United States will understand Germany's position and approve it as the surest and quickest method of bringing about peace, but all em phatically warn against attempted intervention or mixing in by the United States
 Vorwaerts is the only newspaper to call attention to the fact that this i'm portant decision was reached by the leaders of the empire without consult ing the people through the reichstag yorwaerts and the Tageblatt are the only two morning newspapers that breathe disapproval.

House Overrides
 Presidents s Veto
ACTION WILL REN REPORTED IN
 THE SENATE TODAY
VOTE STOOD 2s6 TO 1oe
Party Lines Were Ignored, Republi- cans and Democrats Being Almost Equally Divided on Either Side Fight Has Been on for Twenty Years

Washington, Feb. 1.-President Will sons veto of the immigration bill be- cause of it's literacy test feature was |overridden in the house tonight by a vote of 286 to 106. Party lines were ignored in the fight, republicans and democrats being almost equally divided on either side.
 Tomorrow the action of the house will bereported to the senate, where the bill passed originally by 64 to z. An effort to override the veto will be made there without delay, and advo- cates of the measure say it is certain to be successful.
 Twenty Year Fight.
 For twenty years there has been a fight to establish a literacy test as a restriction upon immigration. Four times such a provision has run the gauntless of congress, and been vetoed at the White House. President Cleve- land first disapproved a bill on this ground, and congress sustained his ac- tion- President Taft was the next to reject 1t. On that occasion the senate voted to override the veto, but the house failed to give the necessary two thirds majority by nine votes. In 1915 President Wilson refused to permit a test incorporated. The house lacked only four votes to override his action then, and the senate did not consider the veto message.
 Tonight the house had i25 votes more than the necessary two thirds majority. cratic Leader KItchin voted together against the president.
 Among the 49 republicans voting to sustain the veto were Freeman, Glynn, TilSon and Oakley of Connecticut Rep reSentative Hill was absent.

BRITISH COMMENT
 ON GERMAN NOTE
London Morning Post Calls it Bru- tal Reply to President Wilson's Peace Plan.

London, Feb. 2. 1915 a. m.-'Prus- sianism Gone Mad" "Bethmann Be- comes Convert to Clausewitz." These are themes of London leader writers this morning, who, however, generally express the greatest sympathy with President Wilson. fin his patient struggle to keep his country out of war"
 Under the caption: What Would Lincoln Do?" the Morning Post says:
 President Wilson has been praying for peace with fervor and eloquence we cannot sufficiently admire. Now his prayers are answered by the most truculent declaration ever issued by war lord since, the days of Genghis Khan. It is fiat defiance, if not provo cation. The president at all events, cannot be blamed andnot blame him self for any lack of patience or con- ciliation. It is a terrible position for a humane, well-meaning man to be driven towards war by the relentless, brutality of a savage belligerent.
 "Iincoln on the bloody field of Get tysburg expressed the national high resolve to be content with no com promise which would render their sac rifces in vain. That is the true spirit of the American people, and their pa tience under an affront should not de- ceive us. Let us rest assured that in the long run American honor is safe in American hands"

They left immediately for the penitentiary.
 Mrs. Byrne began her sentence II days ago and at once went on a hun ger strike" She has since been fed forcifbly by the authorities of the pris- on, although she has offered virtually no resistance, according to reports.
 Mrs. Sanger and others have per sistently contended that Mrs. Byrne's physical condition was such as to cause alarm, but bulletins issued at intervals each day by the physicians at the penitentiary denied these state menus.

FIVE STEAMSHIPS HEADED
 TOWARD FORBIDDEN ZONE.
Cleared Virginia CaPes Yesterday Without Knowledge Of oermanys Action.

Baltimore. Md. Feb. Hive steam~ ships bound from Baltimore to entente ports passed out the Virginia capes yesterday before the news of Ger many's new submarine policy became known. and there are now at this port, either loading or about ready to sail, more than 50 steamers with European destinations.
 The ships which passed Cape Henry yesterday are the Oevre, Danish; Frey, Norwegian: F'oina, Norwegian; Thyra, Danish; and Lalen Mendi, Spanish.
 No orders were received at the cus- tom house to hold up shipping, at was stated.
 Although there were reports that the three interned German liners here-the Rhine, Neckar and Bulgaria-were all ready for quick dash to sea on short notice, no fear was expressed at the custom house today that such an at tempt would be made. It was pointed out thaa a ten hour run to the capes with the guns of Fort Monroe and United States warShips to reckon with was a sufficient deterrent.

consideration that it will cost the friendship, if not the neutrality, of the United States and probably other neutrals.
 Preparations are now. known to have Eeen under way in Germany for months. Bethmann HI ollweg's speech today is interpreted as disproving statements allowed to come to this country that the chancellor was op- posed to unrestricted submarine oper- ations. The fact stands out that off, cial Germany has held off from such a policy, not because of international law or consideration for the United States, but because she did not feel 1t expedient at. an earlier time

FLEET MOTOR BOATS TO
 COMBAT SUBMARINES
ShipbuiIders Ready to Turn Them Out
 in Large Quantities.

New York, Feb. 1.-Members of the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers, in annual conven- tion here today, declared they were ready and willing to turn out fleet of boats to defend the coast of this country in cast of hostilities, in larger quantities and in better time than has ever been done before"
 J H. Barnet, secretary of the Power Boat Graft association, who is also con- nected unofffcially with the navy de- partment. told of the efforts being made by the department to mobilize motor boats for coast defense. He ex- pressed the opinion that the time is coming very shortly when all the en- ergies of the people of this country will be taxed to defend themselves"
 Henry Suphen of the Electric Boat company told of his concern building $50 S0-foot motor boats for Great Britain for use against submarines and for coast patrol at the rate of more than one a day
 Standardization was the one thing that made it possible to do what we did" said MT. Suphen. eff the boats had been stretched on one line they would have reached over eight miles. Two hundred and seventy-f1ve thou sand horse power of gasoline engines were used to develop the power re- Qufred to drive the boats.
 sAThe motor launches go out for ten days at a stretch before they come into port, and they are the only hope in their waters for counteracting the sub- marine menace. A submarine cannot fight a submarine. The only possible way of attacking submarine is by taking its last location and surrounding it with a fleet of boats that radiate like area and keeping on until the subma- rine rises to the surface. The subma- rine commander today fears most the motor boats on the surface"
