special Investigations of small BUSH
nesses that represent an extra hazard
Gus risk. so far as the employees in
withdrawing insurance or taking other
means to protect themselves.
The compensation insurance game
has proved something of q puzzle to
a number of companies, because of
lack of statistics and as result some
of the companies have lost money. it
is said, in this branch of their bust
ness. Some policies in towns near
here have been cancelled by compan-
les recently and it is said that other
policies will not be renewed, this ap-
plying particularly to businesses. in
which there are very small number
of employees and where the risk is ex-
IA hazardous and the premiums paid
to the company for protection small
Concerns employing large numbers
of help are having no difficulty in get
ting compensation insurance and there
are insurance companies that are well
coming the compensation business, but
not all.
All of this leads up to the fact that
the small employer who cannot get
compensation insurance is up against
a rather worrisome proposition, for,
whether he can buy insurance .protec-
ton or not, he is subject to the law
of the state providing for it, and a
bad accident or a death by accident
among his employees might result in
breaking him.

Chief Contention Feature Was Cen

Washington, April 19.-Another day
Of lively discussion in the senate OF
the espionage bill with interest CEN
tered on press censorship, cleared the
way for disposal tomorrow of the prin-
cipal espionage and censorship fea-
lures. Further debate is promised on
a section authorizing the president
to declare war on export embargoes.
Leaders are endeavoring to hasten
the final vote on the entire bill so that
the administration army increase
measure, with its draft feature, may
be given the right of way.
Several senators today offered
amendments to the espionage clause to
make less drastic it's restrictions up
on individual citizens and the press.
Senators Borah and Johnson, of Cali
fornia, and others vigorously attacked
this feature, asserting it strikes dan
gerously at rights of free speech and
a free press. Others. both democrats
and republicans. insisted that during
war private rights must yield to neces-
stiles of national defense.

senate adopted a committee amend

Washington, April 19.-In any pol

the export of food supplies during the
war, the American government has no
intention of interfering with shipments

This was learned today after Min
lister Van Rappard of The Netherlands
had conferred with President Wilson
on the subject Representatives Of
other neutral European countries have
displayed anxiety on the point as a
result of the entrance of the United
States into the war.
The general policy of the American
government is to take cognizance OF
the serious food situation existing in
several European neutral nations, al
though its first object Will be to pro-
vide for the needs of the American
people and assist as far as possible
the entente allies.
AS a result of determined efforts OF
the entente to shut off supplies for
Germany and her allies. virtually all
of the European nationals already
have adopted measures to prevent re-
shipment of goods passed through the
blockade.
