SEEK INTERSTATE CENSORS.
Movie Men Protest Measure Creating
"Cut-Out" Board.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Motion-pic-
ture makers all over the country are
lining up to fight the Hughes bill,
which proposes the creation of fed
eral board of censorship to govern the
interstate transportation of movie
films. The proposed commission of
five members would be appointed by
the president at salaries of $3,5e0
each to pass on the qualifications of
all films shipped in interstate COM
merce.
The commission also would have
the power to order portions of film
plays to be cut out, or it could order
that a production be amplified before
shipment; in fact, it could effect any
alteration. Those who are opposed to
the bill declare that this is too great
a power to be lodged in any five men.
especially where there is no right of
review or appeal.

Milwaukee.-Robert G. Spencer, Sc
years old, president of the Spencerian
Business college and pioneer Milwau-
kee educator, died suddenly at his
home here following hemorrhage of
the brain. His illness is thought to

ly after his arrival in Milwaukee.
He was born in Ashtabula, O., on

log cabin and it was during his life in
the wilderness, he said, that he laid
the foundation of his excellent physi-
cal condition.
He was the son of Platt R. Spencer,
IAO IOuL1uSI vi the SpSnC0Flan system
OF penmanship, and had been in COM
mercial school work for more than

$4,000 FALL IN
BESSARAB|AN FIGHT
Russ and Austrians Engage in
Terrific Battle.
HUGE LOSSES BRING CALM
Fighting in Galicia Is Most Desperate
of the War, According to Reports
by Hungarian Newspaper
Austrians Hold CzernoWitz.

London, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company from
Saloniki says that fiotilla of French
aeroplanes has dropped bombs on
Sofia causing considerable damage
and an indescribable panic among
the inhabitants of the Bulgarian cap
ital.
The struggles for possession OF
Czartorysk and CzernoWitz are con-
tinuing with undated ferocity over
the Russian Christmas holidays. The
efforts of the Germans to outfank the
Russians at Bayan, on the frontier
east Of CzernowitZ, and thus relieve
the pressure on the latter place has
been checkmated by the Russians.
according to reports from the front
Fierce fighting occurred in the
streets of Czartorysk on the several
occasions when the town has changed
hands.
The Petrograd official communicar
ton saws that the calm on the CZerno-
WITT front is due to the huge losses
and resulting decentralization Of the
Austro-Hungarian army. That there
is some basis for this statement is
evident from the estimate of the Hun
garian newspaper, Poster Lloyd, that
the losses on both sides of the Bessa-
rabian battles so far exceed $4,000,
or more than the total British losses
in the whole Dardanelles campaign.
Another Hungarian newspaper
states, on the authority of staff re-
port, that the fighting on this front
has been the bitterest and bloodiest
in the history Of the war, both sides
sacrificing men in manner without
parallel.
Czernowitz (Bukowina) is still in
the possession of the Austrians, and
is filled with wounded. But the Rus
slams apparently are directing their
main attacks against SadagOra.
In the Balkans reports persist that
the Germans are concentrating at
Monastir preparatory to an attack on
Saloniki.

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimeS more
accurate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that Of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
Zone lucky day we tried GrapeNuts.
Well, you never saw child eat with
such a relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and / think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
I'VE are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who wero
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. SO l urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
They continued the Good and to-
day both children are as well and
strong as any children in this. city,
and, of course, my friend is e firm be-
lever in Grape-Nuts, for she has the
evidence before her eyes evsry day"

Friendship, but No Official Aid, At
titude Of Government.
The Hague, via London, Jan. g.
Two hundred and ten members of the
Henry Ford peace expedition reached
The Hague today. A local committee
welcomed them at the railway station
and conducted them to various hotels.
The arrangements include public
meetings on Monday and Tuesday in
the grand hall in the geological gar
dens. No restrictions have been
placed by the authorities upon their
proceedings, as was the case in Den
mark The attitude of the Dutch au-
thorities toward the party may be de-
scribed as benevolently passive.
Berlin, jan 8.-Several members of
the Ford expedition are visiting in
Berlin, having been granted permits
sion to deviate from the party's pre-
scribed route for journalistic studies
