Amendment to Bill Bars Men

DOOR SHUT AGAINST THEM
" Washington. Dec. 13 Thousands
of aliens who have returned to their
native lands to engage in the war
would be barred from returning to
the Lvnited States by an amendment
to the immigration bill adopted today
by the senate.
Senator Reed's amendment barring
temporary laborers also was adopted,
and after long debate it was decided
not to change the house provisions
that no alien shall be excluded for a
crime of a political nature.
The senate also added a provision
requiring aliens to state their pur
poses in coming to the United States,
now long they intend to remain and
whether they intend to become Amer
ican citizens.
By a vote of forty-one to twenty
four the senate rejected an amend
ment proposed by Senator Poindex
ter of Washington to deny admission
to persons ineligible to citizenship in
the United States. Senator Poindex
ter refused to say when pressed by
several democratic colleagues that the
amendment referred more particularly
to Japanese than any other national
ity, whose citizens could not become
United States citizens.

I REGISTRY IS IN DISPUTE
Washington, Dec. 13. Germany's
reply to the American inquiry on the
sinking of the American steamer.
Lanao, by a German submarine off
Cape Vincent October 28, received at
I the State department today, contends
the sinking was justified because the
vessel carried contraband and was
not in fact an American ship, but had
been transferred to Norwegian own
ers.
The exact registry of the Lanao
is in dispute. Owned by Findlay
Miller & Co. of Manila and under
Philippine registry, its sale to the
Norwegian firm of Hans Hcnnewig
of Christiania had been reported be
fore it left Manila.
Captain Mainland reported to the
department that though the sale had
taken place, the actual transfer was
not to be made until arrival in Eng
land, the American consulate at
London has reported that the vessel
was still listed as American there.
The Lanao's crew of thirty was
landed at Barry by a Norwegian
steamer.
