PRESIDENT ASKS CONTINUANCE OF PASSPORT LAW ... Will Serve to Prevent Influx of Undesirables, He Tells Congress. WASHINGTON, August 26. To prevent an Influx of aliens Into the United States after peace Is declared. President Wilson In a message to congress Monday asked that the passport law in effect during the war be continued for one year after the proclamation of peace. The president asked for an appropriation of $750,000 for the use of the State department in administering the law during the remainder of the fiscal year, and to enable it to increase its organization abroad. The present organization, the message said, is overwhelmed with applications for passports. Exclude Dangerous Aliens, Etc. "Information from the agents of the government in foreign countries," the president wrote, "indicates as bood as existing restrictions are removed, a number will ask admission to this country, and that among the number are not only persona undesirable from the point of view of becoming future citizens," but persons whose origin and affiliation make it inadvisable that they should be permitted to enter the United States. ..The experience of the war shows an efficient system of passport control administered by the department of state through the diplomatic and consular offices in foreign countries, can be depended upon to exclude practically all persons whose admission to the United States would be dangerous or contrary to the public interest." U.S. MOTOR VEHICLES TO INVADE ENGLAND

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 2 ft. A large quantity of American motor veh.lclee, possibly 5,000, may be admitted into Great Britain in the next few. months, says the American Chamber of Commerce in London. This will include passenger cars, commercial cars, and motorcycles. Up to- the present time. Importers have been rationed on the basis of 50 per cent of their 1913 imports, in proportionate monthly quantities up to September 1. 1919, at which time the British Government's "transitional policy" la to be reconsidered. Those importers who established their businesses later than 1913 have not been getting any thing at all. The Board of Trade recently requested the American Chamber of Commerce in London to suggests scheme which would give equitable consideration to all importers from America, old and new. The Chamber has suggested as a basis of distribution, the yearly averftge of Imports obtained by adding the totals of 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915 and dividing by four. This scheme gives preference to those Importers whose organizations have been In existence for a long time, but also takes Into account importers who started in 1914 and 1915. The plan has been ratified unanimously by the importers and the Board of Trade is now circulating the entire trade for their returns on this basis. This is declared to be only a temporary arrangement, and not to be taken as an indication of the British government's trade policy on motor vehicles after September 1. Recurrence of "Flu"

Declared Improbable (Bv Associated Press) CINCINNATI. O., Aug. 26 Recurirence of influenza in epidemic form rthis fall is unlikely said Health Oflcer William Peters of Cincinnati, yesterday, taking issue with Dr. Royal 8. Copeland. New York health commissioner. The state and nation has been "pretty well immunized by the disease last fall and winter," said Dr. Peters. Epidemics of such character as a rule do not strike twice in the same place,' he said. 'nt rnurse there will be instances

of Influenza the 6ame as we have had every year," he continued, "but I do not anticipate a recurrence of the disease in epidemic form. "Our mortality rate may be high next winter since many persons whose resistance has been lowered may succumb to other causes, more readily. That is why the American Red Cross, with the co-operation of the Board of Health has established public health stations in various centers in an effort to locate persons whose resistance has been reduced by influenza and to disclose their particular weakness so they may obtain the proper protection. "Any person who has been a victim of influenza, will make a serious mistake in not visiting one of these stations where physical examinations are made without cost." Pershing Generalship To Be Rushed Through WASHINGTON. August 26. Legislation will be rushed through congress conferring upon General Pershing the permanent rank of general before he returns in September. Representative Kahn, of California, chairman of the house committee on military affairs, has been instructed to ask the rule committee for a special rule for consideration. Action on the , March bill will be delayed, and in all probability meet defeat The committee approved the Per6ing bill unanimously, and so far there is no disposition to oppose It. A minority report, signed by six members, opposes the March appointment. Failure to act ,before General Pershing returns, about September 7, means he would revert to the grade of major-general and would ba outranked by General March, who will hold the rank of full general at least until peace Is proclaimed. ' The red hat of a cardinal is said to cost him at least $2,500.

The emergency force will be used, it was stated in the capacity of regular policement while the latter will be put on guard in the street cars, if it is deemed advisable to run them. However, there will be no attempt to have even a limited trolley service unless a large force of deputy policemen are secured. More than a score of persons were more or less seriously injured yesterday in riots when an attempt was made to run the cars through the down town districts of the city and 13 were arrested. Seven of these injured were struck by stray bullets, when a truck crowded with men dashed through the streets firing as they went. Seven other persons were trampled in a panic as mounted police charged rioters in fifth avenue in the business district when a trolley car was stoned.

War Cost United States $2,543 For Each Yank WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 26. This country's expenses in the world war, which was fought 3.000 miles across the sea and in which 4,500,000 American soldiers took part, averaged $2,543 a year a man for 27 months. The Spanish-American war, which had an official duration ot a year, and in which 278,000 men were brought under arms, cost about $1,350 a man for that period. These comparative figures are offered by Representative J. Y. Sanders of Louisiana, who has been making an investigation of the relative costs ot the two wars. At the end of the last fiscal year, June 30. 1919. the cost of the war to the United States was reckonel at $21,000,000,000. This was for the entire period from April, 1917 until July 1, 1919. The cost of the SpanishAmerican war was 377,000,000. In the war with Germany the death rate due to disease was the lowest in history, Mr. Sanders said. Had this death rate been the same as that in the Spanish-American war 112,000, instead ot less than 50,000, men would have died. If the death rate of the Civil war had prevailed more than 227,000 men would have perished.
