London Times" Is Sued
Under Realm Defense Act

LONDON, June 1.-The first important
newspaper prosecution under the defense
of the realm act, on the charge of print
ing information useful to enemies OF
Great Britain. has been begun against
the Times, and also against the printers
of that paper and Major E. H. Richard
son, a retired officer.
The prosecution is based on a letter
written by Major Richardson. published
in the Times of May q. which said:
The last of the French reserves are
out. At the present moment young raw
recruits have been called up"
The letter was a plea for conscription.
Public Prosecutor Bodkin said the
French government had complained OF
its publication. The statement. whether
true or false, was calculated to give
confidence to the Germans and depress
the allies. the prosecutor said. The LA
bility rested upon the press to de-
termine whether information received
was Of a prohibited character. Many
thousands of proposed communications
had been submitted to the press bureau
by newspapers for its Judgment.
The case was adjourned to Saturday.

NEW YORK, June 1.-As was to be
expected, the stock market today re-
acted on the strength of the German

great degree, was found to be more
abrupt than had been expected. The

and light. awaiting the conference be-
tween the German ambassador and
President Wilson, and the tenor Of the
latter's reply to the Kaisers diplo-
matte communication.
In the railroad list the decline was
only fractional, being confined within

CHAPTER TX,

.HE oftener Tommy helped Celestia
through. over or under some diff
ficulty of the wilderness. saved
her from being torn by brambles
or encouraged her with his voice. the
more infatuated he became with her.
Mary Blackstone's image could be re-
called only by an effort of memory.
And yet 1t was only few days since
he had fancied himself in love with her!
He confessed this to himself more than
once, and could but feel ashamed and
sheepish How long would it be before
he fancied himself in love with Celestia.
after how long a separation would he
discover that he did not love her In
the least? He had no stability. was ne

Love? Even hate?
All of a sudden they caught gnmpses
of blue water between the tree stems.
and in a few minutes they saw before
them and below them a lovely lake WIN

a densely wooded island.
"Oh!" exclaimed Celestia. But this
earth Is beautiful"
Remind you at all of Heaven ask
ed Tommy, a little mischievously.
Not in the least said Celestia, ano

ALEXANDRIA. June 1.-The Bancroft
dam of the Alexandria Water Company,
which was begun in the spring of 1913,
Is practically completed.
On account of the necessity of per-
mitting the usual flow of Holmes Run
to pass down the valley to supply the
runs below, only the surplus water in
heavy rain falls can be used for stor.
age purposes. hence it may require a
long time to fill the reservoir.
The Bancroft dam is solid concrete
structure abont 500 feet in length with
a spillway of 200 feet and has total
height above it's foundation of seventy
five feet.
The reservoir formed by the dam
