day, for Secretary of the Navy Dam
iels last night censored the prepared
address just before the Admiral was
to speak at n banquet given in honor
Of the Secretary and ifficers of the
fleet.
Admiral Rodman announced to the
banqueters when called upon to speak
| that permission to deliver his pre-
pared address had been refused by the
Secretary of the Navy, and he re-
sponded to the toast by expressing his
pleasure at the reception rendered the
, officers and men of the Pacific fleet.
Admiral Rodman's speech had been
given to the press and was in type in
many newspaper offices throughout
the country. No intimation that it
would not be delivered was given

banqueters and made the announce
ment. Neither the Admiral nor Sec

Steamship With 25S
Passengers Aboard Goes
Aground on Island

Boston, Aug. S.-The steamship
North Star, which left this port for
Yarmouth, n. s. yesterday with 2S5
passengers went aground to-day on
Green Island, six miles off Yarmouth,
according to word received by officers
of the Eastern Steamship Lines here.
Four steamers including the Canadian
government steamer Stanley were
standing by and the passengers were
said to be in no danger
In a later message Captain Strout,
of the North Star reported that water
it had been necessary to draw the fires.
The Canadian government steamer
Stanley at first said to be standing by
was detained at Yarmouth and unable
to go to the North Stars assistance.
Two boats, several motor schooners
and all other available vessels were
ordered out however
The North Star struck on the rocks
at $40 a. m. in a thick fog. Officials
of the company here feared that she
would be badly damaged.
The work of transferring passengers
to two of the tow boats was begun at
1O.40, according to a message from the
vessel received by the naval communi-
cation office. The message said:
1.-TWO tow boats have arrived. Am
transferring passengers to them. Have
280."
The North Star was broadside to the
west side of the southern end of Green
Island and although the sea was not
rough she was reported to be pounding
somewhat heavily.

OBJECTS TO
RODMAN TALK
Daniels Compels Admiral to
Suppress Address; Didn't
Like War References

San Diego. Cal, Aug. s. - Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels authorized
a statement to-day in which he told
briefly of the circumstances that
led to Admiral Rodman's announce
ment last night at a banquet that
a speech he had prepared in ad-
vance would have to remain in his
pocket, as Secretary Daniels had
censored it and told him not to use
1T. Secretary Daniels said:
Admiral Rodman showed me a
copy of speech that he had writ
ten and | commented upon 1t and
advised that certain paragraph be
omitted. / did not know that / was
acting in any official capacity as a
censor at this time, nor did I know
then that the speech had been sent
broadcast IN advance. Had | known
that copies were in the hands of the
newspapers / would have made no
objection to the use of the speech.
THE speech was shown me and
commented upon 1t in an informal
manner"
A paragraph in the Admirars
speech which the Secretary thought
should be eliminated referred to
possible future wars. Admiral Rod
man laughingly said to-day that the
whole affair amounted to nothing
and lit didn't bother me a bit"

Registered Liberty Bonds
May Be Exchanged For
Regular Coupon Issue

Because of the difficulty which q
number of owners of registered Lib
erty Bonds encountered when they
attempted to sell the securities, Don
aid Mccormick. who was chairman
of the loan drives irr the Harrisburg
district. to-day explained the neces-
sary procedure in order to dispose
of the bonds.
Interest on all registered bonds is
paid direct from Washington to the
owner by semiannual checks, and
the securities do not have coupons
attached to them for interest. On
the back of the bonds the require
ment for assignment of the securi-
en-, according to Mr.. Mccormick
and, if the instructions are fol-
lowed, there will be no difficulty in
disposing of the bonds. All bonds
are interchangeable and a registered
bond may be exchanged for a cou-
pom bond by applying to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
In order to sell the securities, the
owner of a registered bond must
sign on the back an assignment of
ownership and this signature must
be witnessed by any judge or clerk
of q United States court, a United
States district attorney, collector of
customs. collector of internal reve-
nue.. any Assistant Treasurer of the
United States, any executive officer
of a Federal Reserve bank or its
branches. any executive officer OF
national bank or any other bank or
trust company incorporated under
the laws of any State, such executive
officer being authorized by the bank
or trust company to perform acts at
tested by the seal of the bank or
trust company.
Notaries public have no authority
to witness the signature ard this is
specifically stated on the back or
each registered bond. The name of
the owner. which is registered at
Washington, is changed to corre-
spond with the name of the pur-
chaser of the bond when 1t is sold
by the original owner,

complained to President Barnes, OF
the Grain Corporation, without re
serve.
Senator PoindeXter, Republican,
of Washington, referring to Presl-
dent Wilson's plan to ask Congress
for additional legislation to lower
the cost of living, said the Difficult
ties of the situation were due
largely to government action as war
measures.
THE President" he said, was
vested with almost absolute pow
ers to handle the food situation.
am of the opinion that it will not
be possible for Congress to devise
any additional legislation to give the
President any greater powers than
he has at present to deal with the
situation now. The President has
dictatorial powers. / think they
ought to be repealed, but the fast
is that they are not repeCled and
ought to be used now in this emer-
gency."
Chairman Gronna said govern
ment agencies were refusing to 10
anything to lower the cost of living
and that Congress was not at fault.
Representative Blanton, Demo-
crat, of Texas, served notice on Re-
publican Leader Mondell, that he,
for one, would insist on a legal
quorum. >
Republican and Democratic lead
ers both, accordingly, made the tele-
graph wires hot last night with mes
sages ordering absentees back in
time for this afternoon. They ex-
pressed confidence that legal
quorum would be on hand.
The address will be confined to
laying before Congress what meas
ures, in the opinion of the President
and of the subcommittee appointed
by Attorney General Palmer. should
be enacted at once to bring relief
to the public from the existing high
prices. All the elements that have
helped create the condition the
country finds itself in to-day, in the
view of these men. will be dealt
with. These include, it was learned
authoritatively, labor problems and
strikes resulting from them, and
production which would be inter
fered with by strikes.

Johnston Easily Defeats
Champion of Japan in
Tennis Semi-Fiinals
By Associated Press.

Newport, r: l., Aug. 8. - William
Nj. Johnston, of San Francisco, to-
day defeated Ichya Kumagae, cham
pion of Japan, 6-1, 6-1, 63 in the
semifinal round of the invitation
tennis tournament at the Newport
casino.
While Kumagae was not nearly as
sure as in his match yesterday with
r. l.. Murray, it was Johnston's
forcing tactics that beat him. The
Californian played q machine-like
game and did not give the japanese
chance to keep his racquet up,
the style of play which placed Kum-
agae in the semifinals.
William T. Tilden, of Philadelphia,
defeated S. S. Voshell, of New York,
1-6, 2-6, 60, 60, 6-1, in the other
semifinal match.
Voshell played superbly in the
first two sets and burned himself
out. His ground strokes were par
ticularly effective. Tilden seemed
to have difficulty in warming up but
was himself in the last three sets,
easily taking them from his tired
opponent.
Both Australian teams appeared
and won their matches in the
doubles.
