day caused unusual activities in rail
road circles. An extra freight attempt
ed to switch from the main line when
the wheels Of tank car skidded over
and rode the ties for short distance
causing two other cars in the rear to
follow their leader. They were just at
the proper point to completely block
the main road and two sidings, so traf-
fic was completely stopped. No cars
were overturned and the wrecking
crew cleared the track in about five
hours, very slight damages resulting.

BILL TO FORBID
IMMIGRATION IS
SENT To SENATE.
Measure As Now Drawn
Provides for Excluding
Nearly All Immigrants
From u. S. for One Year.
tBy The Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. l3.-The house
today transmitted to the senate the
johnson bin prohibiting virtually
all immigration to the United State
for the period Of one year. The
vote in the house on the measure
293 to Al, brought to an end more
than three days of heated debate on
immigration affairs 1t also fol-
lowed futile attempts by the bills
supporters to lengthen the prohiDi-
ton period to two years as Origi-
nally proposed. The first OF these
attempts brought rising vote in
favor Of the twO-year exclusion but
a second call showed lSl in favor
Of the one-year period and only 165
opposed.
In the senate the bill will be re-
ferred to the immigration commit
tee and action will he deferred.
The committee has concluded hear
ings and investigated thoroughly
all phases Of the immigration and
naturalization question. A number
of measures bearing ON these subs
lectS are pending in the senate and
it is regarded as likely that they
will be incorporated in the john
son bill when it is finally reported
to the senate for consideration. The
attitude of senate leaders today was
that no hasty action should be TAX
en- by that body in dealing with im-
migration issues.

SPURIOUS WARES
ARE OFFERED ON
GERMAN market
limitations of American,
English and French Goods
Are on Sale; Some If
Them Are CleverIy Made.

Berlin, Dec. l3.-German manu-
facturers have flooded the markets
with limitations of American, Eng
lish and French wares, some so
cleverly made it is difficult to do
tect them, but others of an almost
ludicrous cmmsiness.
A purchaser who goes into q to-
bacce shop and asks for n stand
ard English or American cigarette
probably will be handed q package
with a label closely resembling the
trade mark of the original. The
price will be much less and fire.
quently, pleased with the bargain,
the customer puts the box in his
pocket without closely examining
it. After, he discovers that he has
q German cigarette. The few i'm
ported tobaccos on sale are very
expensive and those which have
not been struggled in bear the inn
port tax stamp. ..
Street vendors Of tobaccos, can
dies and other articles display i'm
ported tobaccos and German imita-
lions side by side, so that eventu-
ally purchasers learn the differ
ence and become wary, although
the German tobaccos are not in.
ferior TO some imported brands.
In some Of the high class res
taurants only imitation cigarettes
are sold.
The drug stores are perhaps the
chief dispensers of the German i'm
itations. Imported toilet articles,
ard particularly soap, shaving
cream, tooth paste and face lotions
are very scarce. But all the we'll
known American brands have been
initiated,
Trade mark imitators have dis
played their best work in the sa-
looms. where whiskey bottles bear
the labels of well-known English
manufacturers. But either the sig
nature or the brand or a word in
the name is inverted or the trade
mark slightly distorted The bot
ties have been filled with German
made Whiske ys, often white but
sometimes colored and the sub
stance reeks of grain alcohol. The
effect of the drink is about the
same as that OF the Kentucky,
Georgia and West Virginia moon
shine"
French liquors and imported gins
are virtually never sold.
The German inventive talent has
been carried further, to include all
sorts of wearing apparel. A suit
of clothes. displayed in a window
and bearing a remarkably reason
able price tag catches the eyes of
the passers- by. Upon careful ex-
animation it will be found the cloth
is made of paper. Many hats. caps,
vests. trousers and even shirts are
made of paper. Paper strings are
In general use.
Shoes which can be purchased
for n small sum crack and dissolve
in water. They are made Of paper.

public. They added that if freight
rates increased to the interstate
maximum many mines would be
confronted with bankruptcy.

novel feature is that which pre-

we have allies to consider is useless.
For our allies and America they have
nothing but contempt. There are only
two countries in the world-Germany
and England"
The writer concludes that the pOlit-
ical sagacity of the German has not
advanced beyond what it was in 1914.
But he ends his observation with
this:
There will be trouble in the win
ter. With the first cold snap the
workers will raise, and the Bolshe-
vism which we flatter ourselves was
pushed beyond the Bug will be break

LONDON.-"The German is con-

which Germany and England shall

one of the first tasks of this alliance

Such is the most striking a&scr-
ton of "A Traveller" who has re-
Gently spent much time in Germany
and who writes Some German Iip-
pressions" in the Spectator, by way
of correcting British miscorc sptions
of the state of Germany today.
The w!:;er finds that to speak Eng
lish is o,e's best passport IN GEL
many but that it is not always safe
tJ sreak French. This, he believes, is
rarity due 10 the fact that pr'so lsrs

"The attitude toward the war is a la

Finds Much Poverty
As for his outline of conditions:
Germany is not cheerful ceun-
try at present. Seventy per cent of
the factory chimneys are lifeless.
Poverty is everywhere. The people
seem listless and underfed. Officers
widows have in some cases taken to
the streets TO earn money for their
children. And Berlin is haunted Be-
hind every mans chair stands the
spectre Of Bolshevism. There will be
trouble in the winter is the burden
of every mans thought, and winter
is very near.
Germany at present is no more fit
to govern herself than was Egypt in
the eighties. She is not ripe for pop
ular government AS a result she is
an easy prey to communism on the
one hand and for autocracy on the
other.
"A popular government, strong
enough to 10 what is right because
it is right is thing the German can
not conceive. And so they are drift
ing rapidly toward the whirlpool.
England the Remedy
What is the remedy? Ask the
woman. Ask the business man. Ask
