NO FURTHER FIGHT

Administration Satisfied With Sue.
cess Of Voluntary Censorship.

Satisfied that the voluntary censor
ship agreed to by most newspapers in
this country is sufficient for all pres
ent purposes, the Administration is
not expected to make any further
efforts to have Congress retain the
press gag law in the espionage bill.
The Administrations only reason
for pushing the censorship clause was
that very small number, not as
much as per cent OF the American
newspapers have failed to abide by
the regulations imposed on them
selves by the rest OF the publications.
Should this percentage grow, or
should other conditions arise TO neces-
state more drastic action, the fight
for the gag rule will be renewed.

ODECETVED GIRL.
Young Biisher's Exploits
PrOhed by Embassy Attaches
POSED AS ONE OF ENJOYS
Father Of Bride-tO-Be Warned He
Was an ImpOstOr.

Attaches of the British embassy are
conducting an informal investigation
into the exploits of Lieutenant Com
mander" George Ellis Stuart, whose
brief but scintillating career came to
a dramatic close in New York Tues
day night, after discovery was made
that the lieutenant commander,
who posed as a member OF the visit
ing British commission, was prepar-
ing to wed a Flushing, L. l., girl.
The marriage was to have taken
place in Montreal yesterday. Stuart
was to have married Miss Katherine
Miller, but the plans were Cancelled
on the wedding eve.
The dashing Britisher has not been
seen since he dramatically fed from
his fiancee's home in Flushing Tues
day night, just as 4 mysterious per-
son called up Thompson Miller, father
Of the bride-to-be, and informed him
that Stuart was not a member OF the
British navy, and had no connection
with the visiting commission.
ws.Came Dramatically.
Stories from New York today say
that Miss Miller first heard of the
untoward turn of events when she
was discussing her coming nuptials
with the lieutenant commander" in
the presence OF her parents at their
home in Flushing. The unpleasant
news came to her dramatically, Miss
MiIler's father was called to the tel
ephone suddenly.
1T is my painful duty to tell you
that there is no such person in the
British navy as Lieut. Comdr. George
Ellis Stuart" said the voice at the
other end Of the wire. The speaker
explained that he himself was a Brit
ish naval officer, and he warned Mr..
Miller not to let his daughter marry
Stuart.
Stuart, overhearing the converse
tion, got wind OF its import, and with
a hasty adieu to his "hancee," picked
up his hat and left the house.
The girls father had had misgiv-
ings from the moment Stuart began
urging an immediate wedding. He
had advised hts daughter, he said, to
delay her marriage until after the
war.

BLAMES GAMBLERS
FOR FOOD PRICES
Emergency Garden Commission
Reports to President Wilson.

Food gamblers are robbing the
people. Much live stock is being sold
because of the high cost Of grain and
feeds" These statements were made
today by the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission In a letter
to President Wilson setting forth
facts gathered by the commissions
representatives in several sections of
the country.
The commission calls for Immediate
action by the President and Congress.
The letter, written by E. H. Kelly,
field agent for the commission, reads.
The greatest question through New
England and the whole United States
at present seems one of labor rather
than anything else. Farmers say
they could and would do more plant
ing II they could sscure more labor.
I'm Vermont talked with a large
dairyman who said he was going out
OF business because Of the high price
OF grain and feed. He is only one Of
many who are doing the same thing.
The shortage OF grain and the high
price which they can get for cattle is
simply depicting the country OF Its
stock, but II is almost impossible to
make the people see the folly OF sell
ing of animals which arc needed for
reproduction.
Seed Dealers Bleed Farmers.
THE matter OF seeds has consider
abls to dc with the acreage planted.
1 am constantly asked the question as
to how they can AFFORD plant with
the price of seed so high. Many deal
ers are taking advantage Of the situa-
ton to bleed the farmers. and because
of this the planting is being held up.
Il know of one case where a large
wholesale concern had no beans and
yet l know absolutely that Il had 400
bushels, which It was holding for
higher prices. 1t got the wrong end
of 1t, because the community imported
200 bushels.
II found a store with $4,000 barrels
of -four which wa selling $ little as
possible. Within a days ride Of this
store 1 can find $1,000 BARRE being
held for a higher price"
