DESERTERS HAVE AUDAC|TY OF
 BURGLARS
(By Associated Press)

ZURICH, Dec. 22.-All Switzerland IS amazed at the audacity of some TOUT hundred deserters from various adjoining countries who, in solemn conciave, have protested violently | against the measures recently adopt- ca by the authorities for controlling the undesirable stranger element in the country.
 Switzerland had believed that ;ts measures-the requirement of a bond from those who had fled to the renub. nc to escape military duty, enforced labor or internment in case of undes. lrapie conduct, etc.-were unusually ienient and regret has been expressed Tn many quarters that the powers that we mad not seen fit to take sharper steps against a stratum of the popu. lation which is looked upon here as necessary evil
 The Zurich deserters however many if not most of them of the an. archistic type, have adopted and sant broadcast through Switzerland reso. lution which calls the attention of the socialist party to denunciatfon of do. ! serers, declares that the measures taken to control deserters here are caused by the "capitalistic character', H the state, and are due to fear lest the example of the deserters in re. fusing military service to their resnac. tiv countries may strengthen the anti. military spirit among the working classes f
 The deserters recommended that the problem be solved, not bv laws against the deserters or for their con.

EIGHT AMERICANS SEIZED.
Women Join Disturbers When U. S,
Officials End AlI-Night Traffic
Over River.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 30.-Rioters in
Juarez stormed four street cars on Sun
day and seized eight American street
car men. They are being held pris-
oners by the MeXicans. The mob on
the other side of the river has assumed
such a menacing attitude that Carran-
"a soldiers are guarding the four in
ternational bridges and cavalrymen are
patrolling the river front, opposite the
American patrol.
Among the rioters are many Mexi-
can women. These joined in the at
tack on the street cars and then
marched to the international bridge,
where they held a demonstration
against all Americans.
The women Joined the rioters be-
cause the United States health Of

one and is probably already under
way"
The war department announced that

DISCUSS CHILDREN's HEALTH
Ohio State University Expert DwelTs
on Effort to Guard Health
Yearly Waste, 4,ooo, 600.

Columbus, O.-Supplementary of a
statement recently made by DR.. Eu-
gene F. McCampbell, dean of the Med.
ical College of Ohio State University,
that bad health in Ohio costs the state
in an economic sense at least $780,
100000 a year, is the utterance Of
DR.. Francis M. Hollingshead, director
of child hygiene of the State Board of
Health, who says that the waste in
children's health is at least $4,000
600 year. He credits the estimate
of 1857 children who die every year
at less than five years of age as very
conservative.
Musing upon this economic calcula-
ton of the value of these infants, this
observation is made: "And, yet, how
long would the State of Ohio hesitate
to eXpend one-tenth of this amount in
financing preventive work among the
children of its communities even
though the investment of such sum
would, if properly manipulated, in one
year reduce this waste at least twenty
five per cent"
The assumption that a majority Of
the school children have proper health
attention at this time is quite errone,
Gus, DR.. Hollingshead shows, by re-
viewing the health precautions taken.
In the schools in districts in which
there is anything approaching syste-
matte health work approximately 437,-
600 children are in attendance. In
those in which there is no systematic
health work there are 493,000.

ACTION ON PEACE DELAYED
Cummin's Motion for Discussion of
Question Tabled by the Senate
Senator Sees America in War.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The debate on
President Wilson's world peace pro-
posal was brought to an abrupt end in
the senate on Tuesday when Senator
Cummins' motion to call up his resolu-
ton for it's exclusive debate was ta-
bled by a vote of 50 to 30.
Opening the debate in the senate on
Wilson's world peace proposals, Sena-
tor Cummins asserted that to do what
the president suggests would involve
the United States either in almost con-
slant world war or constant rebellion
against the authority Of the world SOW
ereignty the president proposes.
81 affirm as my belief said Senator
Cummins, "that if this country shall do
what the president proposes either we
shall be involved in almost continuous
war waged all over the world or we
shall be engaged in almost constant re-
bellion against the authority which he
proposes to set up over u.s."

NO AMERICAN LAND OWNERS
Great Enthusiasm Marks Signing Of
New Constitution by Assembly
at Queretaro, Mex.

Queretaro, Mex, Feb. 2.-The dele
gates to the constitutional assembly,
(which concluded its labors Tuesday
night, assembled at eleven o'clock yes
terday and signed the constitution on
which they had been working for two
months. The ceremony was attended
by great enthusiasm. All the members
OF the cabinet were present except
Luis Cabrera, minister of finance, and
YgnacIo BOnillas, minister OF fomento
and communications.
The new constitution contains some
advanced legislation. Among it's pro-
Visions are:
Abolition Of the Office of vice presi-
dent. prohibition of the reelection Of
n president, stringent and radical la
bor laws, and compulsory military in
struction.
Many of the articles are based on
the theory Of keeping Mexico for Mex
icans.
Under the new constitution. foreign
ers must renounce allegiance to the
countries whence they come to acquire
title to real estate, insofar as foreign
citizenship concerns such property.
The provisions regarding separation
OF the church and state virtually mean
the taking over by the government OF
the entire property in Mexico Of the
Roman Catholic church.

Struggle over Tax Amendment.

Lines are being drawn for
renewal of the struggle between
the city and county on the question Of
liberalizing the Smith one-per-cent tax
law. There are Democratic Senators
from the rural districts who already
have manifested uneasiness over the
extensive amendment to the present
one-per-cent limit, even if it affects
only the cities. In the House of Rep
resentatives likewise it is said the ru-
raj Democrats will demand the mini
mum of change.
The hardest struggle on the meas.
ure, it is said, will come in the House.
where the Democratic majority is
small. The Republicans there may
make an attempt to form such union
as will enable the minority to have q
considerable voice in the framing OF
any measure for the relief of the cit
les, which, are now in dire financial
straits. The Republican platform
promises strict adherence to the
Smith one-per-cent tax law. while, the
Democratic scheme is more liberal.
Notwithstanding that the Republican
platform is a tight document on the
question, there are Republicans who
will side with the Democrats in any
reasonable proposition.

GASOLINE PRICE INQUIRY
Would Investigate Alleged Discrimina-
tion-Action Based on Prices
in Other States.

Columbus, O-On the basis of Mich
igan and Indiana prices, Ohio gasoline
users were "stung" to the amount of
more than $5,O0O,0O0 during the last
year. This is the assertion of Rep
resentative John H. Chester, of Pauld-
ing, in connection with his resolution
introduced in the Legislature provid-
ing for a committee of three senators
and three representatives to investi-
gate what he terms apparent unjust
and unfair discrimination" against the
Ohio consumers over those of adjacent
states, and to report legislation in
tended to put a stop to such alleged
practices by the gasoline dealers.
Chester says gasoline costs from three
to seven cents more per gallon in Ohio
than it did across the line in Michigan
and Indiana.

ALIEN BILL IS VETOED
WILSON CALLS LITERARY TEST
RADICAL CHANGE IN POLICY.
Second Time Measure Has Been Disap-
proved by President Who
Regrets Action.

Washington. Jan. 81. - President
Wilson vetoed the immigration bill
passed recently by congress because
of its lfteracy test provision.
1t was the second time that Presi-
dent Wilson has vetoed an immigra-
ton bill because of the literacy test,
and for the same reasons similar meas
ures were given vetoes by Presidents
Taft and Cleveland.
The presidents veto message to the
house in which the bill originated,
follows:
Il very much regret to return this
bill without my signature.
"Iu most of the provisions of the
bill 1 should be very glad to concur,
but 1 cannot rid myself of the con-
viction that the literacy test consti-
tute a radical change In the policy
of the nation which is not justified in
principle
quality or of personal fitness, but
would operate in most cases merely
as a penalty for lack of opportunity
in the country whence the alien seek
ing admission come. The opportunity
to gain an education is in many cases
one of the chief opportunities sought
by the immigrants in coming to the
United States, and our experience in
the past has not been that the illit-
crate immigrant is as such an ande-
sirable immigrant. Tests of quality
and of purpose cannot be objected to
on principle, but tests of opportunity
surely may be.
Moreover, even if this test might
be equitably insisted on, one of
exceptions proposed to its application
involves q provision which might lead
to very delicate and hazardous diplo
matte situations.
'"The bill exempts from the opera
ton of the 1iteracy 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 perma-
nent residence, whether such persecu
tion be evidenced by overt acts OF
by laws or governmental regulations
that discriminate against the alien ol
the race to which he belongs because
of his religious faith
"Such a provision, so applied and ad
ministered, would oblige the Officer
concerned in effect to pass judgment
upon the laws and practices of for
eign government and declare thai
they did or did not constitute re
llglous persecution.
II dare say that these consequences
we're not in the minds of the pro
pOnents of this provision, but tn
provision separately and in itself rem
ders 1t unwise for me to give my as
sent to this legislation in its presen
FORM"

Columbus, O.-Farmers and farm
ers'' wives and children from II states
were in attendance at the second day
of the 1917 Farmers Week at Ohio
State University. When the registra-
tion offices closed total of more than
2,200 was shown, while on the second
day in 1916 there were but 1,575 sig
natures One of the biggest problems
faced by farmers is how to handle the
crop after it is an assured success.
Without storage facilities for vegeta-
bles and fruits farmers frequently are
forced to market their products at
loss.
E. ]. Hody, of the Bureau of Nur-
sery and Orchard of the State Board
of Agriculture, urged the construction
of storage houses as solution to this
problem.
Advantages of such constructions"
he said, ''are the ability to market at
the right time, personal care of fruit
until sold, ability to sort and pack i'm
mediately and to dispose of the prod
uct in whatever quantity is desired. %

Mrs. Alice wheeldon said, on being
nshed In court IL there was any rea-

This is just trumped-up charge to

unfounded charge against him and he
went to prison for it. Eaw that he
Is out Of the war, you are trying to
punish him through me.."
