JAPAN'S PROTEST
DOES NOT STOP
SENATE'S
VOTE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The senate
late yesterday by vote of 62 to 19 re-
passed the immigration bill over the
veto of the president despite warning
from the state department that the
Asiatic exclusion section might result
in disturbing amicable relations with
Japan. The measure, containing the
literacy test fought over for twenty
years and vetoed by three presidents
now becomes law.
New objections from Japan to the
language of the Asiatic exclusion Sec
tion of the immigration bill were dis
closed in the senate today when Sem
ator Reed, fighting the proposal to re-
pass the bill over the presidents veto
announced the state department had
authorized him to say that the Jap
anese embassy had called attention to
the provisions. The bill was thought
to meet all objections.
The house already has repassed the
bill over the veto. There were indica-
tions that the International situation
might influence the senate not to re-
lass the bill.
A desire not to agitate relations with
Japan is evident in administration
quarters. This has been accentuated
by the favorable reception in Japan of
President Wilson's action in breaking
with Germany.

RELEASE ORDER IS
WITH OFFICIAL US.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 6.-om-
cial notice of the release by Germany
if sixty-four Americans captured by
a German comemrce raider in the
South Atlantic has been received at
the state department.
In advising the state department Of
the release of these men, the German
government asserted they wer re-
leased because at the time of their en-
lstment they did not know Germany
planned to treat armed merchantmen
as warships.
The men will be given safe conduct
to the border, but will be required to
leave Germany Immediately on their
release from the internment camp
where they are now held.

it will not adopt President Wilson's

MILLIONS LOST IN
THE FLORIDA COLD

JACKSONVILLE, Feb. 6-It is esti-
mated from reports reaching Jackson
vile early this afternoon that crop
damage throughout Florida as a re-
suit of severe cold Saturday, Sunday
ard Monday, will probably amount to
millions of dollars.
Conservative estimates state that
seyenty-five per cent. of the vegetable
crop was killed, and that all oranges
on trees were frozen and ruined. Many
orange trees and other citrus fruit
shrubs were damaged by the prevail
ing cold, but it is impossible to state
the amount of damage done.

WASHINGTON, d. C.. Feb. 6.-The
crisis between the United States and
Germany possibly may become more
acute through the reported killing Of
an American citizen by the guns of a
German submarine.
An official statement issued in Lon
don says an American, Richard Wal
lace, of Baltimore, and the master and
two seamen of the British steamer
Eavestone met death through the shell
fire of submarine as they were leav-
ing the steamer in small boats, as she
was sinking from the gunfire poured
into her by the underwater craft.
Two other British steamers. isle Of
Arran' and the Hurstwood, have been
summarized and a British sailing ship
the Garnet Hall, is believed to have
been sunk. Five fatalities resulted
from the torpedoing of the Hurstwood,
which is said to have been done with
cut warning. The Danish steamer Lars
Kruse, with a cargo of wheat for the
Belgian Relief committee, has gone to
the bottom near the Belgian coast, hav-
ing either been torpedoed or struck a
mine.
The situation arising from the
severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany remains virtually the
same as when President Wilson made
his momentous announcement to con-
eress last Saturday. The status Of
Austria, through her adherence to
Germany's submarine warfare has
not yet been determined.
Meanwhile the American ambassador
in Germany has demanded his pass
ports and is making preparations to
leave Berlin, and plans are afoot for
the German ambassador and his ret
inue to depart for Germany next week.

IN LOVE WITH YOUR JoB2

Are you in love with your job?
Is it something which appeals to
and fires your imagination, or do
you look upon it merely as a means
of getting two or three meals day
and a place to sleep?
Do you every day dream dreams
of bigger and finer things to grow
out of your job7
Have you vision twelve out OF
every twenty-four hours which is
leading you forward and upward
with your job? Or is your job
driving you with whip and spur
that you may keep up with it?
George w. Childs was one of
Philadelphia's best and richest
men. He was able in his declining
years to enjoy the companionship
of scholars, rulers and million
aires. He gave away more money
than most men earn. He had a
heart that was as big as his body
and one which beat responsive to
every form of human woe.
George w. Chiids was always in
love with his job. From boyhood up
it got bigger and fuller of promise
every day.
As a street urchin George w.
Childs blacked boots in front of
the Office of the Philadelphia Ledg-
er. One day he told his companions
that when he grew up he would
own that great newspaper. When
he told them this they laughed, of
course.
But in the boyhood dreams of
George w. Childs the vision grew
and grew and before he was very
far on his journey over the dividing
line of life he owned The Ledger.
He had been in love with his
job. He had no grouches. Every
day, with him, was a day of prom
Use and brightness. If it rained,
he saw the picture of the sunny to-
morrow mad builded in anticipation
of it.
If you are not in love with your
job-if you do not get lot of fun
out of tiff you do not build with
and upon it as small boy plays
with his building blocks, there is
something wrong either with you or
your job, and you had just as well
get over in the gutter and let the
profession pass.-Lexington Leader.
