NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
Manufacturers Looking for Substitutes
for Those Now Used Because of
Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price of many
of the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or consider
the adoption of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau of standards
has frequently been sought in this con-
nection. An interesting field of inves-
LEGATION is opened up by such inquiries
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than Others
and a slight difference in price would
warrant substitution. 1t is not usu-
ally possible, however. to suggest sub
stitutes offhand, as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. There is" says the
bureau "a very wide field of research
here. which would undoubtedly repay

Secretary of War Diverts Dis
patches Sent to the Asso-
ciated Press.
IMPORTANT NEWS is DELAYED
Inadequaey of Preparations by War
Department Shown Up-Has No
Authority for Act.

Washington, July 5.-Since yester-
day dispatches to the Associated Press
telling of the American troops liz
France have been diverted by official
order from their usual channel of de-
livery and have been delivered first
to the secretary OF war for his ap-
proyal. There is no censorship of the
press in the United States, congress
having refused to enact such a law,
but newspaper and press associations
have voluntarily been observing the
request of the government.
Heretofore, news dispatches leaving
France have been censored by the
French officials or the American cen
sor with General Pershings' expedi-
ton, or by arrangement with London.
This, however, is the first instance in
which an executive department of the
United States government has seen fit
to divert dispatches from their desti-
nation and withhold them for official
inspection.
In this case no notice of the govern
ment's intention was given and the
first intimation of the practice came
when last night dispatches addressed
to the Associated Press, New York,
by its Paris correspondents, were by
official order, delivered to the secre-
tary of war in Washington, who after
inspecting the dispatches delivered
them to the Associated Press bureau
here. Other dispatches addressed in
the same way were delivered to the
secretary of war here today and
through the committee of public infor-
nation, delivered to the Associated
Press in Washington with certain por
lions eliminated.
The volume of matter diverted to
Washington was very large and no
adequate provision for the examina-
ton or censorship had been made.
The war department was over
whelmed and a consequent delay Of
hours in important dispatches re-
suited.
Assurance has been given by Sec
rotary Baker that the new procedure
is to be practiced only temporarily
and that double censorship will be
shortlived.

SOLDIERS PAY PROTECTED.
Check Put on Liberty Bonds and
Court Fines.

Overenthusiasm of enlisted men Of the
Army in subscribing for liberty loan
bonds has caused the War Department
to issue orders limiting the allotment of
bonds SO that the soldier may have at
least $3.50 a month out of his pay for his
own use and the means to make provision
for his dependents through war insur-
ance. Some soldiers have pledged their
whole pay.
Up to Friday the war insurance bureau
had received and recorded applications
for policies totaling S1.750, 000, 900, with
other applications on file. Oficers and
mer continue to take out close to the
$4,000 maximum policy, the average being
$500 each.
Another recent ruling frees portions OF
the pay of a soldier from court-martial
penalties. Courts are forbidden to exact
fines exceeding the amount reserved for
his own use and for his dependents.
