BRITISH WAIVE RIGHT
TO SHIPPING CONTRACTS

Washington, May 14.-The British
government today offered to turn
over to the United States all OF It's
ship building contracts in American
yards aggregat;ns 10000 tonnage.
This includes all Of the Cunard con-
tracts placed with ship builders in
this country within the past six
weeks, as we'll as several contracts
placed for Norwegian ships, but re-
Gently bought by Great Britain.
The British offer came on the heels
of vigorous representations made re-
Gently to members of the British mis-
sion here concerning the propriety or
permitting slow time contracts for
foreign account to glut American
yards, and thus retard to some ex-
tent the American program OF con-
struction upon a vast scale.
Several other smaller foreign snip
building contracts have been oHered
to the government.
Neither British nor other contracts
for foreign nations have been accept
ed, but the probability that they will
be is strong as the shipping situation
is apparently becoming more critical.
While for the time deferring accept
ance Of the foreign offers tee admin
istration proposes to accelerate ae,
livery of such contracts with all
possible power.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
Of this place, writes: i am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; III iacI'
it was one Of our family medicines:
Also in my mothers home, when l
was a child. When any OF us child
ren complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black .Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chilIs, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and arounu
again. We would not be without II:
for it certainly has saved US lots OF
doctor bills. Just dose OF black
Draught when not so well saves a
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat,
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys is proof of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty
YOU will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, ana
acts in a prompt and natural way
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
impurities. Try it. Insist on Tneo.

Moi. Gen. Leonard Wood, command
ing the department of the southeast,
made rapid strides yesterday in his

"a hours of duty since his arrival ne

Whatever measures he sees fit 70
adopt he will have the backing of the
South in their execution. This was
made plain to him by the people o.
Charleston and by messages received
from everywhere. The war depart
ment made no mistake in sending TO
the southeast Gen. Wood. From every
section yesterday there were express

That he has taken active, vigorous
charge OF the department was evil
denced last night by the departure TOR
Columbia of Col W. R. Ladue, Of the
engineers corps, attached to the gen
erals staff, and Capt. John c. Lee,
his personal aide. to begin an inspec-
ton trip of available camp sites for
the training of prospective fighters
for Uncle Sans huge army machine.
These officers, it was intimated, will
visit Columbia, Greenville, Aiken, Au-
gusta, Macon, Atlanta, Montgomery,
Anniston, Chattanooga, and possibly
other Southern cities, before they re-
turn to Charleston, examining into
the qualifications of every site.
It was made plain here yesterday
by the commanding general Of the
newly created department that no
political influence would play any
part whatsoever in the selection OF
sites for training camps, and that the
proposed sites must come up to the
requirements Of the standards set by
the war department.

1.-The secretary of war has direct

national army to be raised by selec-

war, cavalry organizations will not
be raised, and that all governors OF
States be now notified that in calling
out National Guard trooI 5 for train

any small force of cavalry should
subsequently prove desirable with our
troops operating abroad, regular

From this letter it is apparent
that cavalry organizations will not
be needed ad hence no necessity ex-

ESPIONAGE BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Members Flatiy Refuse to Pass Act
Muzzling the Press of Nation
During Crisis.

Washington, May 14-Stripped OF
censorship and prohibition the ad-
ministration espionage bill was pass
ed by the senate late this afternoon
by a vote of II to six, after approx
imately FIVE weeks of the most stub
born fighting the upper house has
seen N recent years.
Before the final roll call was. taken
the administration made a final es-
fort to restore the censorship provis-
ion to the bill but was defeated As
to "a. The provision was stricken
from the bill by vote OF 80 to 3S
last Saturday and the administration
hoped to win over enough votes on
2 final roll call to carry the censor
ship section. Today's roll call, how
ever, showed many senators who had
formerly supported the section voting
against it.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,
explaining his reason for changing
his vote denounced the censorship
board recently appointed by the pres
ident.
The Board Wrong.
Il voted on Saturday to retain the
censorship section with some hesita-
ton he said "Since then I have
been studying the publications OF the
bureau of information, and l have
come to the conclusion that 1t would
be better to have no censorship at
all than to permit that bureau to
suppress practically anything from
the newspapers of the country. This
measure would leave the newspapers
entirely at the mercy Of that board
and l am opposed to it."
By a vote of Al to 81 the senate
unexpectedly reversed its action OF
Saturday in accepting the Cummms
amendment prohibiting the use o:
grains. cereals, sugar and syrups in
the manufacture of alcoholic liquors.
The senate, after the passage of the
bill, voted to insist upon its amend
ments, and ask the house for con-
ference over the measure. There was
every indication, however, that cen
sorship was dead and buried. and
that it would not be embodied in the
bill.

Wholesome Food

Did you ever consider what difference
there is in biscuits cake, mutins ETC.,
made with Dr. Prices Cream Baking
Powder and those made with cheaper
baking powders containing alum or
phosphate:
DIR. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
made with Cream of Tartar derived
from grapes, a delicious, healthtul fruit,
and that is why it produces wholesome
food, superior in texture and keeping
quality
Alum and phosphate are derived from
mineral acids, and the only reason for
using such substitutes for Cream of
Tartar is because their cost is very
much less to the manufacturer.
Remember this when buying baking
powder and be guided by the label on
the can, which gives the names of all
the ingredients.
