HENRY ASTOR
 DIES AT HIS
 COUNTRY HOME

Albany June 8.---Henry .Astor, a member of the famous American fam fly of that name, who had been living the life of country gentleman in se- clusion on his estate at West Copake, Columbia county, died last night af- ter an illness of several weeks. He was a son of William B. Astor, but for many years had been estranged from the main branch of the family because, it is said, years ago he mar ried the daughter of his fathers gar dener. His wife survives.
 His mid Victorian home at West Copake has been one of the show places of the vicinity for years, and there MT. and Mrs. Astor have lived, surrounded by the friends Henry As tor chose at the age of 20, when he married Miss Malvina Dinehart, the child of a small farmer and gardener near the setate of William B. Astor at Red Hook, N. Y. Her father had done gardening work for the Astor family; MT. Astor was the grandson of the original John Jacob Astor and William B. Astor's youngest son. He was born July $, 1882.
 It was not known until July, 1917, perhaps, to those in the immediate vicinity of West Copake that MT. As tor had been enjoying the rents from property in the heart of New York valued at many millions, The deed of trust, which enabled him to com

Schenectady, N. Y, June 1O- "Prussianism and the idea Of endur- ing peace among nations can never be brought into harmony; compromise cannot even be considered" Robert Lansing, secretary of state, declared here today in an address as honorary chancellor of Union College for 1918. Instance after instance from his own experience at the head Of AL3erica's foreign office was cited to prove his point because, he asserted, "Amer1- cans, even those intellectually equip ped, have but vague ideas of the attl- tude that made Prussianism possi- ble."
 Ut is a fact not generally known" said Secretary Lansing, that within six weeks after the Imperial govern ment had, in the case of the Sussex, given this government it's solemn promise that it would cease ruthless slaughter on the high seas, Count von Bernstorff, appreciating the worth lessness of the promise, asked the Berlin foreign office to advise him in ample time before the campaign sub marine murder was renewed in order that he might notify the German merchant ships in American harbors to destroy their machinery, because he anticipated that the renewal of that method of warfare would, in all probability, bring the United States into the war.
 lA hoc l-n O the character of his government and how perfectly frank he was! He asked for the information without apology or indirection, The very bluntness of his message shows he was sure his superiors would not take offense at the assumption that their word was valueless and had only been given to gain time and that, when an increase of Germanys submarine fleet warranted, the promise would be

broken without hesitation or com junction What commentary on Bernstorff's estimate of the sense of honor and good faith of his govern ment!
 'In view of this spirit of hypocrisy and bad faith, manifesting an entire lack of conscience, we ought not to be astonished that the Berlin foreign office never permitted a promise or a treaty to stand in the way of a course of action that the German govern ment deemed expedient. Indeed not cite as proof of this fact the filagrant violations of the treaty neutra:izing Belgium and the recent treaty Of Brest Litovsk. This discreditable characteristic of German foreign pol icy was accepted by German diplo- mats as a matter of course and as neutral, if not a praiseworthy method of dealing with, other governments.
 The causes of the war, MT. Lansing said, were simply the German desire for world dominion.
 That was and is the central thought of Prussiauism," he said. Tt excited the cupidity of the governing and wealthy classes of empire; it dazzled with it's anticipated glories and by it's promise of a boasted racial superior ity the German millions who were to be the instrument of achievement With a devotion and zeal worthy of better cause they turned their energy into those channels which would aid the ruling classes.
 We must go on with the war. There is no other war. This task must not be left half done. We must not transmit to posterity a legacy of blood and misery. We may in this great conflict go down into the valley of shadows because our foe is pow erful and inured to war. We must be prepared to meet disappointment and temporary reverse, but we must with American spirit rise above them; with courageous hearts we fust go for ward until this war is WOn"

HOOVER PLANS TO CONTROL RETAIL
 PRICES OFFOOD

Washington, June 8.---A nation wide program to control retail prices of vital foodstuffs and punish prof iteers, by cutting off their supplies from the licensed wholesalers, if such action is necessary to protect the consumer is announced by the Food Administration.
 For many months the powers of the Food Administration in this connec- tion have been subject of debate, that he has sufficient power to make the proposed plan effective. Reports received from many parts of the country that retail prices were mount ing to levels which production condi- tions did not warrant are said to have brought about the dicesion to act in a decisive manner. ---
 The Food Administration has not the direct power to fix maximum prices which may be charged by re- tailers, except those doing a business of more than $10O,C00 annually, but under the licensing system for whole salers 1t can absolutely control their activities.
 In this way @ weapon is provided which will reach the retailer who takes advantage of wartime condi- tions to make unfair profits.
 Committees will be appointed in every caunty in each State and will be vested with the authority to de termine a fair price which retailers may charge for foodstuffs. The Food Administration will ask that these prices, which will take into consider ation the operating expenses of both the leash and carry" stores and the
 credit and delivery shops, be pub lished by the newspapers.

firade of waterpoor tape. the bomb was meant to explode in water possi- bly, attached to the hull of a ship.
 In looking over the internal ma- chine Jennings said: '"The only thing which saved the neighborhood from great destruction was the fact that the caps screwed on each end of the steel cylinder were of such poor quaI- ity cast iron that they readily gave way under the tremendous pressure of the explosion.
 ''If the caps had been as strong as the balance of the machine the search CTS would be unable to find even a splinter of the bomb or of anything else within a wide area. Three and a half pounds of dynamite could be packed in the cubic space of the bomb and as the fuse was of the variety that burns one foot in one minute it could be regulated so as to give the Hun agents plenty or time to attach the machine and make their getaway.
 The chances are that the mis- creants meant to explode a floating magazine which would detonate all magazines aboard ship and ashore at the naval base, and in case their plan worked out, the result would have been too terrible to contemplate"
 Captain B. O. Cronan, chief of the Detective Bureau, worked until a late hour last night and was in communi- cation constantly with Federal and State officials until an early hour this morning.
 It was also understood that all fac tory heads in Bridgeport where the slightest chance of aliens capable of making a bomb similar to the one used could be working, were closely questioned and an effort is being made to find out the machine shop where the deadly missile was manu- factured.
 While the Naval authorities wilf-not discuss the matter, the fact that they have taken the greatest precautions against a similar attempt~being made by the agents of Germany shows in a most emphatic manner that they gard the attempt as being most serious.
