16 RAILROAD Railroad Administration Denies Dividend Stories Wukligtm, July 11. —The railroat administration yesterday authorise* a formal denial of widely-circulatei reports that the Pennsylvania anc Baltimore and Ohio Railroads hac deferred their regular dividends be cause the contract between the Gov ernment and the railroads under Fed eral control had not been signed. Failure of the directors of the two roads at their June meeting to vole dividends payable August 31. as had been the custom, the announeemeni says, was due to the fact that the di rectors have decided not to adjourn over the summer months, but will meet this motuh and in August. The announcement by Director General .VlcAdoo also makes it plain that pending formal execution of the contract now under consideration by administration officials and the rail road executives the railroad admin stration is willing to make advances to roads if reasonable necessity is shown. Middle Division Men Again Show 100 Per Cent. Middle division operating men es tablished a mark of 100 per cent, in the scoring of efficiency tests made during the month of June. In the observance of rules they established a mark of 99.9 per cent, efficient. This is one of the best records e\er scored on the division. There were a total of 311 tests made during the month and there was not one single failure recorded. The greatest number were for the observance of automatic signals to stop and for the home and advance signal at stop and distance signal at caution. There were 23,071 observations of obedience rules made during the month, and of these there were but two failures. They were the failure of two flagmen to properly protect their trains out of a total of 177 ob servations. One flagman was sus pended and the other reprimanded. There were a total of 23.112 tests with but two failures, and this es tablished a record" of 99.9. Railroad Notes Reading Railway Company em ployes will be paid to-morrow.

Ireland's Blue Pencil Man. Lord Decies, Fair to All Erin's Classes Dublin.—Seldom can a person burdened with the duties of an im portant censorship lay claim to any considerable degreej of popularity, hut Ireland possesses a press censor who is really popular even with the men whose writing he is compelled to blue-pencil and criticise. The Irish press censor is Lord Decies. well known in the United States, and all classes of Irish newspapermen appear to be agreed that he is the right man for the place. Lord Decies" censorshin office is located on two upper floors in a ; building in Grafton street. Dublin. ; above a barbershop and a billiard room. Irishmen hate ceremonv and unnecessary formality and Lord Dec ies is not in the least pompous or ceremonious. He is always ready to meet and talk with the men whose "copy" he censors, and when the business of the moment is finished, he is ready to chat with them lor a few minutes on the favorite lrih topics of sport and horses, on both of which subjects he is an expert. The key to Lord Decies' success as a censor, however, is probably that [ he has succeeded in convincing all | classes of Irishmen whether Sinn i Fein or Orangemen, of his absolute I imparUality and fairness to both | sides. One of the best tributes to his popularity is that he is occas ionally made the subject of newspap er loke-. He has pasted on the walls, of his office some of the extraordin ary letters and clippings which have reached him. In several of them he is jocularly addressed as "His Boval Highness, the Ix>rd High Execution er of Copy. Dublin." Lady Decies, his wife was Vivian Gould, of New York. Kaiser, Still Praying, Admits War Not Won Amstenlun). July 11.—The Ger man Emperor has replied to a congratulatory telegram from the University of Cologne as follows: "The invincible bravery and un limited self-sacrifice of the Ger man nation shine brightly out of the darkness of the mightiest war of all times. Our victorious armies have not yet succeeded in entirely breaking our enemies' will to de struction, but Germany'! sons, with unshakable confidence, are rallying round their supreme war lord and their trusty military leaders to win for the Fatherland life, happiness and freedom to create a free path for the devel opment of its intellectual and eco nomical God will be with us and our Juat cause.

English Pay Tribute to Sacrifices of America I.ondon. July 11. The people of the United States by self-imposed food restrictions have aided greatly in maintaining the food supplies of the European allies. Sir William A M. Good, liaison officer of the Food Ministry, with the American Food Ad ministration, gave striking figure.-*- showing; the extent of American self sacrifice In an address yesterday be fore the Consumers' Council. l r rom July, 1917, to April, 1918, (he United States exported to the allies 50,000,000 bushels of wheat pioducts, said Sir William. It was calculated by Herbert Hoover, American Kood Administrator, that 50,000,000,000 of this represented the voluntary sac rifices of the American people. American exports of pork products to the allies in March, 1918, were 308,000,000 pounds. This was accom plished by porkless days and cease less hog production In the United States.
