Wall Street-A vigorous drive against the short interest marked to- days early trading, General Motors being the most conspicuous feature at an initial advance of 1-2 points. All the steeis and equipments were higher by material fractions to almost points and coppers and tobaccos made gains. Liberty bonds were ac- tive and strong, one lot of $864,000 selling at par.
 Early advances in special stocks were extended during the first half hour but trading suddenly halted later on publication of the Pope's peace proposal. General Motors sur rendered almost half its gains and steels and other equipments reacted with Marine preferred and Maxwell. the latter losing ground in anticipa- tion of adverse dividend action later in the day. A heavy trend prevailed at noon, most gains then being wholly forfeited. Liberty bonds were in steady demand at 99.96 to par and back to 99.9S.
 Recessiops became more general in the early afternoon, steels, sugars and prominent specialties showing in- creased pressure. Tobaccos held for aWnlle, put nnally yielded on en- larged offers. Shippings were steady but rails were dull and irregular.
 Closinc-Lower quotations accom- panied the more active selling of the last hour industrials, chiefly equip ments showing losses of to points. with five for Bethlehem. The closing was heavy. Liberty bonds ranged from 99.96 to par. Total sales ap- proximated 100000 shares. C

PIRATES TO BE CAUGHT

Washington, May 1.-THE unre-
strained wrath Of the senate was pour
ed down upon food gamblers and spec
ulators today in one of the most re-
markable scenes in the history of the
chamber.
Pirates and robbers were the
terms frequently applied to those who
profit by speculations in food in the
hour of the nations need. The likeli-
hood of food spectators being hanged
to lamp posts was limited at.
The storm broke when Senator
Thomas, democrat, Of Colorado, pro.
posed as an amendment to the admin
istration espionage bill, a provision to
suspend for the duration of the war all
boards Of trade, stock exchanges or
chambers of commerce which permit
speculation in futures of food.

with only one or two possible competi-

tenth century we would certainly
have received the assurance with a
smile. Whatl Louis! So simple,
kindly, natural; SO all round q good
fellow; SO like all the rest of us. only
nicer!
And 1 am quite sure that IN his in
most heart at this period he could
never really have looked forward to or
expected the fame which later came to
him and which grows and expands as
time gives us the perspective where

bigness and essential simplicity. In
fact, in introducing himself to me he
remarked simply that he was "a writer

I was told Of a rainy afternoon

chance to be present, during which
Bob Stevenson amused himself by fore
casting the future careers of those
present. When he came to his cousin
he remarked with q satirical little
smile: 'There sits Louis, as SNUG and
complacent as any old type de bour-
geois. I have not the least doubt that
he fondly imagines that one Of these
days they will be publishing all of his
