had expected to complete his work so
that the resignation could be made

relating to the complaint of the
Merchants Association of New York
to the American Postmaster General
that British censorship of American
mails was being used for the benefit
of British business interests, have
aroused widespread discussion in
business and trade circles in Great
Britain.
The question whether this is true
has hoen put in Parliament and the
financial secretary to the War Or
fee replied that in no case have suf-
ficient particulars been supplied to
enable the statement to be investi-
gated; that without any particulars
it was, however, possible to give a
definite assurance, that at no time
had the British censorship been en-
ployed to help British firms at the
expense of their rivals in Allied or
neutral countries.

SAVED BOY INJURY
Mrs. Louis Smythe Acts Quickly
When Her Automobile Crosses
Sidewalk

The quick action of Mrs. Louis
Smythe in controlling her automobile
on Railroad street, opposite the 5 and
10 cent store last night, prevented a
serious accident. From some me-
chanical defect her machine swerved
from the roadway and started
straight for the window of the store.
AS it slid across the sidewalk, John
Bernier, boy, was struck by the
machine and pushed against the
window. The large glass window
was wrecked.
Mrs. Smythe remained cody at the
wheel working with great courage to
check the speed of the machine which
she did effectively She prevented Sc
rious injury to the boy who today
was about as usual.
