ESPIONAGE BILL HAS BEEN PASSED BY THE 8ENATE Secretary Houston before fhe House appropriatioins sub-committee, oppos ed the joint resolution adopted by the Senate to appropriate $10,000,000 for the purchase of nitrate fertilizer, to sell to farmers at cost.' Mr. Houston charactrlzed the proposal as very impracticable. No seed for free distribution nor for pole is at the disposal of the United States department of agriculture. The ('.epartment, however, through Its coin I niittee on seed stocks, Is receiving : daily telegraphic and other reports a I to available supplies of seeds of crops for late planting, and will assist in locating seed stocks for localities . where shortage exists. "The commit tee is co-operating with State, local 'and commercial agencies in an effort . to secure better distribution of seed ( end to encourage plantings of all lm I jiortant crops. Both Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and Secretary of the Navy Jo eephus Daniels will speak at the com mencement of the University of North Carolina June 6. according to an an nouncement by President Edward K. Graham of the university. It is plan ned to make the occasion a great pa triotic celebration, and an expression of loyalty to the government. Thomas J. Burgess, for seven years a member of the Danville police force, was arrested charged with receiving stolen goods, his billet and badge were removed and he was suspended from duty and bonded uner the sum of $50 for his appearance in court. The affair created a sensation in our ister city. Brought face to face with the evidence, Burgess, it is alleged, admitted his offense to the chief of police. The selective draft system for re cruiting the army will soon be put in to effect and it will .ce a tinw if the utmost gravity and seriousness. We feel that this is truly a county worthy ot being a mother of former patriots, and now that the summons has come to us again old Rockingham county will show that she has living sons that are as firmly imbued with their devotion to their flag and country as were her forefathers. The war has openel a new and at tractive line of occupation to the boys and girls of the country through the medium of the telegraph office. At the present moment the Government iw calling for 250 boys and girls to to go Into training as telegraph oper aiors. It is supposed thit this npw addition to the telegraph force is wanted io take the place of old and ex perienced employes who will be as signed to more Important posts in war service. A bright young man can equip himself for competency In the telegraph service in three or four months, and it would seem that this call by the Government would receive the required responses. PROFIT BY THIS Two new food control bills, one authorizing the President to appoint a controller general of supplies dur ing the war, and another designed to prevent slaughter of immature live stock, were Introduced by Senator Gore, chairiinan of the Agricultural Committee.

After nearly three weexs of dibafi the Senate, by a vote, of 77 to 6 pued the administration espionpge bill pro j nounced one of the most drastic and ai'inclu!si"c measures in .v;i eiitan congressional history. I A similar bill has passed the il iuse and virtual redrafting of many of the most in n.) .-it provsiins is exiected in the forthcoming c iferencep During the final considers!'-.!!, the Senate stripped the .masuie if pro visions for newspaper r onsorshin and restriction upon manufacture of grain .into intoxicating liquors; and rejected an amendment designed to curb specu lation in food products, although sen timent obviously was overwhelming In favor of Buch legislation later. As completed, the Senate bill's prin cipal sections provide: Authority for the President to em barge exports when he finds that "the public safety and welfare so requira" (not in the House measure). . Authority for the postoffice depart ment to censor malls and exclude mat ter deemed seditious, anarchistic or treasonable, and making its mailing punishable under heavy penalties (not in the House bill) ; For punishment of espionage, defined in most detailed terms, including wrongful use of military information; For the control of merchant vessels In American waters: Punishment for conveyance of false reports to interefere with military op erations, willful attempts to cause dis affection in the military or naval forces of obstruction of recruiting. . For the seizure of arms and muni tions and prohibition of their Exporta tion under certain conditions. For penalizing conspiracies design ed to harm American foreign rela tions or for destruction of property within the United States. For increased restrictions upon is suance of passports, with penalties for their forgery or false procure ment; and For material extension of the power to issue -search warrants for Inspec tion of premises . The clause giving the President power to embargo exports was retain ed in the bill virtually as drafted by adminisitration officials. It was mod ified once, but the unqualified provis ion was restored after Its necessity had been explained last week in a rtav's session behind closed doors. Vigorous efforts to retain provis ions for newspaper censorship and partial prohibition, together with food stuff .conservation, during war, culml rated In final votes Monday in which the Senate voted 48 to 3. to eliminate all provisions for the press censor ship. On behalf of the administra tion forces Senator Overman, in rharire of the bill, had moved to re instate a modified censorship clause. INCREASE OF REGULAR ARMY . TO WAR QUOTA ORDERED msorshlp clause.
