not be contained in them No such pro-
hibited information is contained in the
dispatch today
Since July no request has been made
of the Associated Press to withhold or
submit dispatches from abroad prior to
publication
On July 3, the Secretary of War, by
official order, arbitrarily took possession
of all cable dispatches to newspapers
and press associa tons. relating to
American troops abroad, and on July
and July dispatches from France ad-
dressed to the Associated Press in New
York We're diverted to the war depart
ment without notice, and later delivered
to the Washington bureau with, on one
occasion, a request for deletion, which
was complied with
WHAT BAKER SAID
On July 4, Secretary Baker in New
York, said to the Associated Press:
1.-THE present arrangement is only a
temporary one, and will be maintained
only so long as is necessary to perfect
a smooth working plan to handle this
matter, without imperiling the lives of
American citizens
On July 5, in an official statement,
Secretary Baker announced
THE emergency having passed, the
war department states that press ca
bles from France are again permitted to
go directly to addresses without refer
ence to Washington. These precautions,
however, must continue to be observed"
Then followed an outline of military
information, which must not be disclosed.
Today's dispatch in no way conflicts
with that order.
The Associated Press had no further
communication from the government on
the subject until today.
GENERAL SUPERSTITION
1t was generally supposed in Wash
ington, and the belief has been shared
by many officials including the army
censor, and presumably the Secretary of
War that an arrangement had been
perfected with the censors abroad To-
days events are the first indication
that such is not the case.
The Washington bureau did not know
and does not know, whether the troops
referred to. landed in Egypt or in
France. The Associated Press always
has stood ready to cooperate with the
government, observing any request in
the national interest.
The committee on public information
today asked that all dispatches relating
to troop movements be referred to it for
wise but declined to say whether a rep
resentative could be reached through
out the night to pass upon inquiries.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago Grain.

Chicago, May 3.-Wheat prices to- day concluded the advance started by postponement of the German chancel- lOr's speech that was expected to out dine new peace terms. Offerings of wheat in the speculative pit were scarce and would-be purchasers had to bid the market up sharply to ac- aquire ownership. Profit-taking on lies quickly ensued. Opening quota {. tions, which ranged from 1c to 51ac higher with May at $2.75 and July at $2.22 to $2.25R, followed by an ad- ditional jump of 1c above initial top figures, and later succession of sharp set-backs and recOveries. . Announcement that the British government would accept undergrada . wheat at Winnipeg in part satisfac- tion of May contracts appeared to have bullish influence on the mar ket here, and sharp unturns were wit- messed in the last half of the session. May rising 101ac to $2.S0, the highest point yet. Cash wheat of contrac. grade sold in Chicago today at $314 a bushel, the topmost price on record. ' Quotations closed nervous, 31%c to 101ac net higher, with May at $2.80 and July at $2.25 3-4 to s2.261a.
 Corn and oats rose with wheat. The demand however, was only a scat tering order. Corn after opening 14c to 1 3-4c higher scored slight ad- ditional gains before beginning to re- act.
 Fresh strength developed later, ow- ing to buying that was supposed to be for seaboard account. The close was firm at 1 1Sc to 3-4c net ad- vance.
