Tokio Objects to Part of Vetoed: Immigration Bill Wahington, Feb. 5.—New objections from Japan to the language of the Asiatic excluSion section of the vetoed immigration bill were disclosed in the senate today when Senator ‘Reed, fighting the proposal to re-pass the bill over the president’s veto, an- nounced he had been authorized by the state department to say that the Japanese embassy had called atten- tion to the provisions. The bill as finally passed was thought t6 meet all ‘objections. The administration already has successfully used its information to prevent passage of anti-alien land bills in Oregon and Idaho objected to by Japan and a desire not to agitate re- lations with Japan now is evident in all administration quarters. This has been accentuated by the favorable re- ception in Japan of President Wilson's action in breaking off diplomatic re- lations with Germany, which has been gratifying to the government. U. 5.

Ed. Howe and Buffalo Bill. (New Haven Register) Ed. Howe of Potato Hill, Kansas, thinks he a grudge against the newspapers, and that it is his religious duty to improve overy opportunity to exhibit it. He h(m(‘si!y think: no doubt, that he has one on them here: “When the newspapers hegin ex- ploiting a man, they go to any limit of absurdily; they are now saving ‘Buffalo Bill' killed his when eleven years old. As a matter of fact ‘Buffalo Bill's' greatness was largely due to long connection the circus busine: the biographers of Bill printed after his death were taken from Beadle’s dime novels. That story about having killed his first Indian at eleven may or nct be true, but it would be disrespect to the Colonel's memory to doubt it, since the opening line in “True Tales of the | Plains,” a book which on its title uage ascribes its authorship to ‘Buf- falo Bill.”” reads: “In 1857 I was bare- ly eleven when I shot my first In- dian.” Id. Howe, like all the rest ¢f us, needs to refresh his a Josh Billings, who said: “It is better not to know so many things, thar to know so many things that ain’t so.” However, Ed. Howe says now then a good and thue thing where in the same issue of his vellous “Monthly” he remark ‘Bve! time I have caught hell, it has been the result of pursuing it.” first Indian | with ! aad | How Germany Wants Them Marked The American liner St. Louls was the first liner scheduled to sail from New York for Liverpool under an American flag since February 1, when the new German blockade began, and the first to test the pew German war hazards. Her sailing dates had been fixed for today, but the sailing was postponed. About 110 passengers, half of them American citizens, en- gaged passage. P. A. S.

We point- ed out that she would carry first, sec- ond and third class passengers as well as mail and cargo and was insured with the war risk bureau of the gov- crnment, which means that he would carry no absolute contraband as defin- jed by the latest German lists. “We also called to the attention of the state department the fact that the American line steamship Philadelphia, under the United States flag, on her way from New York to Liverpool, was then about 1,200 miles fram Liv- erpool and that she carried passen- gers, mail and cargo under the same conditions. We noted also that the American line steamship Finland, un- der the flag of the United States, was due at Liverpool about February 3 or 4. “We acked the state department, in consideration of the latest German note, ta advise us quickly if we should send instructions to the ships then at sea and if we should dispatch the St. Touis to Liverpool on the regular route and schedule as herctofore. “We also pointed out that mouth, mentioned in the German note, ] as the port of destination for Amer- lican passenger steamships does not hiave adequate facilitics for coaling or { handling cargo and is absolutely im- practical as a terminus for a line of steamships. “Further, we reminded the state de- partment that our steamships have names, nationality and the United States flag painted on their sides and illuminated at night, including a spe- cial illumination of the United States Fal- flag. over the stern, which is kept fly- ing at night.” ture of Finland reproduced here- wi is printed to show how an American vessel would look if she complied with the German distinction fo paint vertical red and white stripes on her side and fly a checkered- flag from each mast.
