AGE WINE BY ELECTRICITY.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 Paris, Nov 14.-A method of lag ing" raw wines and spirits by electri- city has been perfected by Professor Charles Henry of the University of Paris (the Sorbonne), and it is already being successfully used in some of the Burgundy wine districts. The process is said to impart to liquors the same properties which they acquire by being kept for a number of years in cellar. The spirit or wine is placed in a spe- cial receptacle fitted with two tubes called burgers" and the tubes are charged with high tension electricity at from 60,000 to 120,0OO volts. The result is that all the bacteria, ferment and impurities collect in the tubes and are removed and all further fermen- tation~is stopped The process is very rapid, and the cost is less than two cents per hundred gallons. Similar ex- perimcnts are now being made with beer and essential oils.

HOUSE OF LORDS
 SUBJECT OF ATTACK
Earl Of Derby Declares it Needs a
 Censor

London, Nov. 24, 1:45 D. m.-In severe denunciation of freedom of speech such as the recent instance of the speech delivered by Lord St.. Davids in the house of lords, in which he attacked the British headquarters staff, the Earl, of Derby, in charge of British recruiting, speaking today be- fore the Stock Exchange, declared that the house of lords needed a censor ship.
 "The man who gives information to the enemy,'' said Lord Derby, "goes by an ugly name, and it should be given just as much to a speech de- livered in the house of lords as to a man who risks his life getting infor- nation for the enemy"
 After stating that "No gentleman would have made and no gentleman would believe Lord St. Davids' accusa- tions and subjecting Lord Ribbles- dale's recent utterances to a like de- nunciation, Lord Derby spoke of re- cruiting. He said he had not come to enlist recruits from the Stock Ex- change, but to ask the loyal CO., operation of it's members in the scheme he had undertaken.
 At the present moment no man has a right to say he is indispensable in his present employment" continued Lord Derby. Apart from the num- bers we will get is the moral effect upon our allies and our enemies in showing them that the voluntary spirit in England is as strong as at the be- ginning of the war. Every man should go before a local tribunal, which will determine whether he is indis- pensable."
 Lord Derby asked for patience, say ing that those working under his scheme were endeavoring to do in six weeks under the voluntary system what Germany had accomplished un- der the voluntary system what Ger many had accomplished under con- scription in forty years. Men were enlisting in large numbers, but, they must come in very much larger num- bers during the next three weeks if the position of the voluntary system was to be made absolutely unassail- able.
 we are going to win this war, whatever the cost" he added, "but it is no use making that assertion unless every man does his duty at this crisis.'
