TERRA BLANCA ID
 BE SCENE OF BATTLE
Last Engagement in Campaign
 Against Vera Cruz There

Mexico City, Feb. Shy Radlo ,ia Forth Worth Star Telegram--By 1hn Associated Press) Blanca state of Vera Cruz, 1t is believed m official circles, will be the scene oi the last important battle in the federal campaign against 'he city Of vera cruz. which has been in the hands or the rebels since the outbreak Of the revolutions The rebels are reported concentrating at Tierra Blanca.
 The federal march against vera cruz, federal officers say, is boinG de- layed owing partly 10 the destruction of bridge at Atoyae, and to desire on the part of General Martinez 10 avoid the danger Of rebel attack on his rear. For this purpose he has dispatched part of his army 10 Tierra Blanca. General Urbaljoe's cavalry IS reported advancing on Vera Cruz and the war department is awaiting an- nonncemcnt from him that he has oc- cupied tho port.
 The whereabouts Of General Adolfo de la Huerta, who with otlrr rebel leaders left Vera Cruz via tstcamer carly this week, still are unknown here. General Gomez. military com mandant here, announced the receipt of reports from Merida. Yucatan, that the rebel general had arrived there, while Tampico reported a rebel war ship had appeared near Tuxpam.

lation passed now will be rather tenn porary and experimental. In general, I believe that the right basis for inn migration should be the quality of the immigrants rather than their number"
 In a letter to Dr. J. ]. Costanzo of stamford, Mir. Merritt said "Wc must guard the quality of American citizen ship. Of late years there has been Il tremendous increase in the popula- ton of insane asyums and homes for the feeble minded. This Is not only a tremendous burden on the country, but. worse than that indicates a de- terioration of the quality of the popu- lation. which endangers the very structure Of thc government.
 What should personally like, if any practical way can be found, would be to make restriction not based on any particular census, but on a care full investigation of the individual inn migrants before they leave their own country for this country. In other words. what VIC want is a limitation on quality rather than quantity. My belief is that any definite restrictive legislation such as is now talked about would only be temporary and at some time must give way to anoth- CT system based on fitness"

 Tax Han

Atlantic City \. J., Feb. S.-A tribute to Secretary Mellon, placing him in the rank with the greatest leaders in science and art of finance Of any country. was paid last evening by Senator Simon D. Fess Of Ohio. who spoke at the fortieth annual banquet Of the International Asso- ciatioq of Master House Painters and Decorators being held here.
 Secretary Melons plan is econm- omically sound" the senator said. His distinction between earned and unearned incomes is a sound principle and should be followed. His observa- tions upon the withdrawals for pro- duction of capital seeking protection from confiscatory taxation in tax eX- empt securities are fortified by facts.
 His contention that lower taxes will be reflected in a lower scale Of living cost is justified in that stimula- tior of business in an increased pro- duct will, under tho law Of supply and demand. he felt in lower price scale"

ASH WEDNESDAY
MARKS OPENING
OF LENTEN SEASON

The observance of Ash Wednesday
in the various churches of the city
this morning marked the beginning
of the lenten season, of forty days
preceding the celebration Of Easter.
Ash Wednesday originated in the
history Of the early church with the
establishment of longer period of
fasting and penancs than is observed
today. This was Il ceremony adopted
figuratively from an ancient Jewish
custom, wherein they covered them
mourning.
In the Roman Catholic church this
figure is especially carried out, for
palms from Palm Sunday of the pre-
vious year are burned and the ashes
used to describe a cross of penancc
on the forehead, as token of accept
ance of the forty days fasting for
all days of Lent, except Sunday. The
distribution of ashes took place this
morning, preceding the high mass
which was celebrated at 8:15 at st.
Mary's Pro-cathedral. Special lem
ten devotions will be observed in the
Catholic church by services on
Wednesday and Friday evenings dur
ing Lent and with special sermons
on the Passion of Christ each sun
day evening, by Father Stag.
At st. Georges church this morning
special services and Holy Commun
ion was distributed at $3.50. Dr.. Ry-
Qrson, the rector, has made arrange
ments for number of special SER
vices to be conducted during the for
ty days of Lent.
Lent is always observed by the
Lutheran churches by special SER
vices and preceding the lentcn SER
wise a number of large social iunc-
tions were given in the city, includ-
ing several large dancing parties by
fraternal organizations and social
clubs.
