After Hard Battle.

London, May 9.-Fresnoy, the town
on the Hindenburg line which fell to
the Canadians after hard fighting on
May 3, was recaptured by the Ger
mans after repeated counter-attacks.
Fore time the battle was indie
cisive. The first attacks, which were
themselves very heavy, succeeded in
partly disodgng the British defend
ers. The latter, however, organized
counter-attack of their own and re-
gained all ground that had been lost
Still later In the morning, east of
Fresnoy, the Germans returned to
the attack with two fresh divisions
The British stubbornly resisted, but
finally We're compelled TO withdraw
from Fresnoy village and wood.
Fighting continues in and around

ESPIONAGE BILL PASSED
BY THE LOWER HOUSE
Final Vote on Measure Is 26o to 1906
After Censorship Section Is
Modified.

Washington, May 1.-THE admins
tration espionage bill was passed on
Friday by the house, 260 to 105, with
"A modified censorship section.
Under the new censorship section
very wide discretion to prohibit pub
LEGATION Of information would be
lodged in the president, who would
prohibit publication by proclamation.
An overwhelming defeat of the sec.
ton as drawn by the administration
forced the acceptance of a more lib
eral provision.
The new section makes It necessary
to show that publication of prOhib-
tied information has been of value to
the enemy before penalties of the
law become effective.
BY vote of 40 to 30 the senate sub
stituted the export embargo clause of
the espionage bill suggested by Presi-
dent Wilson with one restricting the
presidents authority to embargo eX-
ports only when American products
are reaching the enemy.

PUTS LID ON WAR NEWS
State Department to Issue Daily an
"official Gazette"-Brtsh Object
to Leaks"

Washington, May 9.-The state de-
partment, admittedly in the interests
of secret diplomacy" clapped down
a gag rule which makes Secretary Ian
sing and his subordinate censorship
board, the bureau of foreign intelli-
gence, the sole official sources through
which the public can learn of the in
ternational policies of the administra-
ton. Entente diplomats here are said
to have helped bling about the order.
Following his oder to all depart
ment officials that mot even insignifi-
cant matters of fact or detail' should
be discussed with newspaper men, Sec
rotary Lansing declared that any vio-
lation would mean the employees i'm
mediate dismissal.
The gagging in the state department
comes simultaneously with the an
nouncement that the bureau of pub
lie information" as the censorship
board headed by George Creel, is of
ficially known, is preparing to issue
daily an official gazette" after the
British style of court circular, which
is intended to be a four-sheet paper
for setting forth administration views
and censored information.
The action was taken it was further
declared, because the foreign offices
OF Europe have declared they could
not send confidential communications
here because the American state de-
partment could not keep a secret"

tee at Washington.

Washington, May 8.--Headed by
Gustave Pabst, delegation represent
ing the brewers Of the United States,
was heard by the senate agricultur-
al committee on Senator Gronna's bill
to forbid the manufacture Of grain into
alcoholic liquors during the war
The delegation told the committee
that the brewing interests were ready
to cooperate with the government In
any way. and TO the fullest extent the
president might wish, and did not ask
consideration from any standpoint 9th
er than that OF fair dealing and public
policy.
The actual amount Of grain used In
brewing, principally barley, they told
the committee, represents less than
three-quarters of ] per cent Of all the
grain produced in the United States,
and I'm addition the barley used,
they said is not staple human food
here or abroad.
