STOREHOUSES OVERLOOKING

INVESTIGATORS IN CHICAGO FIND MUCH FOOD IS BEING HELD
 BY SPECULAToRs.

Chicago, April 19--lWith food prices mounting daily on the grounds of a scarcity, investigators in Chicago learned today that storage houses of this city are stocked to the roofs with stores of hitherto unapproached ma g- nitude
 Not only are the private ware houses of the dealers and jobbers fairly bursting with food, but the pub lie warehouses as well, while thou sands of tons are in cars on sidinas.
 The bulk of the stored products consist of sugar, rice, canned goods. coffee and other perishables. Ownership of these goods is not con fined to regular dealers and brokers, but in many instances by men in other lines who have taken a flyer" in food, and will in due course take handsome profits, unless the govern ment intervene

LIVELY DISCUSSION
 ON ESPIONAGE BILL
SEVERAL SENATORS DECLARE MEASURE STRIKES AT FREE
 SPEECH AND FREE PRESS.

Washington. April l9.-Another day of lively discussion in the senate of the espionage bill, with interest centered on press censorship, cleared the way for disposal tomorrow of the principal espionage and censorship features. Further protracted debate is promised on a section authorizing the president to declare war export em. Dargoes.
 Leaders are endeavoring to hasten the final vote on the entire bill so
 that the administration army in- crease measure with it's 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 upon individual citizens and the press. Senators Borah, Johnson of California and others vigorously at- tackled this feature, asserting it strikes dangerously at rights of free speech and free press. Others, both Democrats and Republicans, insisted that during war private rights must yield to necessities of national de- fense.
 Just at adjournment tonight the senate adopted a committee amend ment to the censorship clause pro. hibiting any regulation limiting dis. cussion comment or criticism of the acts and policies of the government or it's representatives The whole section to which the amendment was offered however, still remains to be voted on

GERMANS PREPARING
 FOR ATTACK ON RUSSIA
PORTION OF GERMAN FLEET RE PORTED TO HAVE MOVED
 FROM KEEL TO Ll5AU.

Petrograd, April l9. via Londou.- German preparations to attack the northern front. supported by a Ger man fleet. reports of which appear to be well founded, bear out the war office warning recently issued that the enemy means 10 march on Petro- grad. The preparations consist of the massing of troops on the DvinskRiga front and the concentration of trans. ports, Narships and shallow draft ships in Baltic seaports. A portion of the German fleet Is reported to have moved from Kiel 10 Libau.
 IL is regarded here as extremely probable that the plan is to cut of Petrograd from the active army. The German efforts to spread discontent in the Russian army have developed an ingenious device of loading shells with copies of Chancellor von Beth mann Hollwegs reichstag speech of March 29 and firing them into the Russian lines
