M'SPARRAN URGES
MORE FAR MING
Says Every Acre Should Be
Put Into Cultivation as
..s Soon as Possible

John A. McSparran, member of
the State Grange, has called for the
maximum of production of food in
letter sent to all members of the
Pennsylvania State Grange.
The letter says:
There seems to be practically no
doubt. that the price of cereals will
remain at a level that will be prof
liable during this crop season. The
fact of world shortage on the one
hand and an unusual necessity on
the other stares us in the face as
food producers.
I'VE do not doubt that many of
ouI people have and are making an
earnest effort to meet this situation
by such increased planting as cir
cumstances will permit. And yet
we feel like making to each of you
this sincere APPEAL to do your best
at this time of the nations need to
prevent the impending shortage of
food by bringing into cultivation
such extra acres of corn, buckwheat
and other cereals as you feel you
can reasonably grow and harvest.
1T is awful to think that we have
to settle an international difficulty
by recourse to hellish war. But the
iie is cast, and the man in the trench
behind the plow will contribute to
q speedy and decisive victory as
surely as the man in the trench be-
hind the gun.
ours is the duty of feeding not
only our own people, but to produce
such a surplus as to forestall hunger
among our allies. Let us all do our
best"

SENATE PASSES
ESPIONAGE BILL
The Most Drastic Act Ever
Adopted by United States
Congress
By Associated Press


Washington, May 15.-After near
ly three weeks of debate, ranging
over innumerable problems of the
war, the Senate by a vote of n to
last night passed the administra-
ton espionage bill, pronounced one
of the most drastic and all-inclusive
measures in American congressional
history.
A similar bill mas passed the
House and virtual redrafting of
many of the most important pro-
visions is expected in the forthcom-
ing conferences.
During to-day's final considera-
tion, the Senate stripped the meas
ure entirely of provisions for news
paper censorship and restriction up
on manufacture of grain into in
toxicating liquors; and rejected an
amendment designed to curb specu-
lation in food products, although
sentiment obviously was over
whelmingly in favor of such legisla-
tion later.
The Senate Bill
AS completed, the Senate bills
principal sections provide:
Authority for the Post Office De.
barge exports when he finds that
the public safety and welfare SO
require" (not in the House meas
ure);
Authority for the Postoffice De-
partment to censor mails and ex-
clude mail matter deemed seditious.

ing its mailing punishable under
heavy penalties. (Not in the House
bilD;
For punishment of espionage, de-
fined in most detailed terms, includ-
ing wrongful use of military infor-
nation;
For the control of merchant ves-
sells in American waters;
punishment for conveyance of
false reports to interfere with mill
tary operations, wilful attempts TO
cause disaffection in the military
or naval forces or obstruction of re-
cruiting.
May Seize Arms
for the seizure of arms and muni-
tions and prohibition of their expor-
tatlon under certain conditions;
For penalizing conspiracies de-
signed to harm American foreign
Ie!aIions or Tor destruction of prop
erty within the United States;
FOR increased restrictions upon
issuance of passports, with penal
Ties Tor their forgery or false pro-
curenent; and
For material extension of the
power TO issue search warrants for
inspection of premises.
Ihe clause giving the President
power TO embargo exports was re-
tanned in the bill virtually as dra fl
