squad which caused the firms for the first
time of new warning signals in London.
British planes pursued the Germans

Today's attempt lasted barely two
hours Thousands OF persons turned out
along the coast when the British planes
went up in the hope Of seeing battles
in the air, but the connbatants soon dis

Some excitement was caused IN London
by the sounding of the raid warnings, or
which the first notice was given in this

Persons unaware of the intentions of
the authorities were convinced, when
the firing Of signals began, that German
airmen had again penetrated London's
defenses and were showering bombs on

were sent up from every fire station
in the county transforming the usual
Sunday morning quiet into din which
London now associates with an air raid
The signal consisted of three bombs

bombs left the small mortars and loud
ones when they exploded in the air.
Persons who believed anti-aircraft
guns were in action made a rush for

placards warning the public to seek
shelter The tube stations were favorite
places Of refuge. Some persons whose
breakfast had been disturbed brought
pots of coffee with them and finished
their meal on the platforms. Early
morning services in the city churches
proceeded without interruption.

BOARD OF THREE
Senate Plan Substituted for the
House Bone Dry Provision and
Will Be Subject Of Difficulty in
Conference

Washington, July 22.--The adminstra-
ton food control bills, virtually rewritten
after five weeks bitter contest was pass
ed Saturday by the Senate 81 to 6. Con-
work early this week and leaders are
hopeful that the measure will be in the
Presidents hands in 10 days.
AS revamped, the bin gives the Pres
ident broad authority over foods. feeds
and fuels, the latter including kerosene
and gasoline; provides for administra ton
by food board Of three members instead
of an individual: authorizes federal fixing
of coal prices, requisitioning and opera
ton of mines and authorizes a minimum
guaranteed price of not less than 81 per
bushel for wheat at primary markets.
The Senate prohibition section, prohibit
ing manufacture of distilled beverages
during the war and directing the Presi-
dent to buy all distilled spirits in bond
dry" provision and will be one subject of
difficulty in conference.
Senators voting the bill were France,
Maryland; Hardwick, Georgia; Penrose,
Pennsylvania; Reed. Missouri Sherman,
Illinois, and Sutherland. West Virginia.
- Scores Of Amendments
Scores Of amendments were disposed OF
Saturday, but the principal features were
the incorporation of the amendment au-
thorizirg the minimum wheat price and
another by Senator Pomerene greatly
broadening the governments power to
handle the coal situation.
The government guarantee for wheat
will be payable at all principal interior
primary markets until July /, 1917. The
Senate rejected, rs to 33, an amendment
by Senator Norris to have the food board
instead of Congress, fix the minimum
price.
There Pomerene coal amendment, in
corporated by the overwhelming vote
of 70 TO IL, directs the President,
through the federal trade commission
or other agency, to fix coal prices,
wholesale and retail regulate the en-
tire industry, and, if necessary, take
over and operate coal mines and fix
prices OF labor.
On final vote the Senate refused
so to 23, to place the bills adminstra-
ton in the hands of an individual.
Senators understood today that the
President would endeavor to have the
conferees substitute the original House
provision. which is for a single ad-
ninistrator This will be another
source of conference trouble.
Appropriation in the House bill of
sI5O000000 was left unchanged by the
Senate, which added an appropriation
Of $4,000, 900. however, for federal pur-
chase and sale of soda nitrates for
fertilizer.
Another important Senate addition
10 the bill provides for a joint Con-
cressional committee to supervise war
expenditures. 1t was proposed by Sen
ator Owen. a Democrat, and incorpor-
ated by a vote Of 53 to 81, several
other Democrats voting with the solid
Republican membership.

The military census now being tak- en in the Warren District by Lu Schnarr. Tom Blair and Jack OLaugh- lin. deputized by County Assessor Ed. Hughes. is progressing rapidly in spite of the fact that several resi- dents of the district have proved ob- streperous when approached by the registrars.
