TUESDAY EVENING,
M'SPARRAN URGES
MORE FARMING
Says Every Acre Should Be
Put Into Cultivation as
Soon as Possible
John A. McSparran. member of
the State Grange, has called for tho
i maximum of production of food in
i a letter sent to all members of the I
! Pennsylvania State Grange.
The letter says:
"There seems to be practically no i
doubt that the price of cereals will
■ remain at a level that will be prof
itable during this crop season. Tho
fact of a world shortage on the one
hand and an unusual necessity on
tho other stares us in the face as
| food producers.
"We do not doubt that many of
I oui people have and are making an
earnest effort to meet this situation
| by such Increased planting as cir
j citmstanees will permit. And yet
we feel like making to each of you
this sincere appeal to do your best
at this time of the nation's need to
; prevent the impending shortage of
food by bringing into cultivation
j such extra acres of corn, buckwheat
| and other cereals as you feel you |
can reasonably grow and harvest.
"It is awful to think that we have
to settle an international difficulty
|by recourse to hellish war. But the
j dip is cast, and the man in the trench
i behind the plow will contribute to
I a speedy and decisive victory as
surely as the man In the trench be
! hind the gun.
"Ours is the duty of feeding not I
j only our own people, but to produce
; such a surplus as to forestall hunger I
i among our allies. Let us all do our j
| best."

i SENATE PASSES
ESPIONAGE BILL
The Most Drastic Act Ever
Adopted by United States
Congress
By Associated Press
Washington, May 15. —After near
ly three weeks of debate, ranging
over innumerable problems of {he
war, the Senate by a vote of 77 to
6 last night passed the administra
j tion espionage bill, pronounced one
of the most drastic and all-inclusive
measures in American congressional
history.
A similar bill nas passed the
House and virtual redrafting of
many of the most important pro
visions is expected in the forthcom
ing conferences.
During to-day's final considera
tion, the Senate stripped the mens
-1 ure entirely of provisions for news
paper censorship and restriction up
on manufacture of grain into in
toxicating liquors; and rejected an
amendment designed to curb specu
lation in food products, although
sentiment obviously was over
whelmingly in fawr of such legisla
tion later.
Tlic Senate Bill
As completed, the Senate bill's
principal sections provide:
Authority for the Post Office De
bargo exports when he finds that
"the public safety and welfare so
require" (not in the House meas
ure) ;
Authority for the Postofflce De
partment to censor mails and ex
clude mail matter deemed seditious,
anarchistic or treasonable, and mak
ing its mailing punishable under
heavy penalties. (Not in the House
bill);
For punishment of espionage, de
fined in most detailed terms, includ
ing wrongful use of military infor
mation;
For the control of merchant ves
sels in American v.aters;
Punishment for conveyance of
false reports to interfere with mili
tary operations, wilful attempts to
cause disaffection In the military
or naval forces or obstruction of re
cruiting.
May Seize Arms
For the seizure of arms and muni
tions and prohibition of their expor
tation under certain conditions;
For penalizing conspiracies, de
signed to harm American foreign
relations or for destruction of prop
erty within the United States;
For increased restrictions upon
issuance of passports, with penal
ties for their forgery or false pro
curement; and
For material extension of the
power to issue search warrants for
inspection of premises.
The clause giving the President
power to embargo exports was re
tained in the bill virtually as draft
ed by administration officials. It
was modified once, but the unquali
fied provision was restored after its
necessity had been explained last
week in a day's session behind clos
ed doors.

■wound in his back, received by being

night. It is said the Limes boy was
asked by a soldier at the east end of
the bridge to go to the other end and
get a pair of shoes for him from
the bunkhouse. When the youth
started to walk across the structure,
as he had done times before, a guard
at the other end called a command
to halt the lad and then fired. The
bullet entered the boy's body under
the right shoulder blade,' struck a
rib and changed its course. Young
