" SENATE VOTES DOWN - GENSORSHIP CLAUSE Also Opposes Restrictions o " Use of Grain for Alcohol — Washington, May 16.—The Espion- age bill, with the press =censorship provision eliminated, was passed by the senate late yesterday by .a vote of , 77 ayes to 6 noes. This vote came af- “ter an attempt led by Senator Over- man to revivify the Cummins censor- ship amendment, which had been vot- ed down on Saturday. Senator Overman’s motion which ' was to replace in the bill the restric- ., tlons upon press and public speech, ~was de! led by the senate by a votc " of 48 to 34. Senators who had voted for censorship on Saturday voted against it yesterday- ‘The bill had been under debate for nearly three weeks. In the final con- sideration of the measure, besides vot- ing against press censorship- the sen- iate stripped the measure entirely of restrictions upon the manufacture of 8rain into intoxicating liquors and re- Jected an amendment designed to curb speculation in food products. Re- | drafting of many of the most import- ant provisions is expected in the forth- coming conferences between - repre- sentatives of the senate and the house. As the. house bill contains & provision for determfnation by the jury of cul- pability for violation of censorship regulations to be promulgated by the president, the administration is ex- pected to bring strong pressure for drafting in conference of a compro- mise censorship section. During the debate on the censor- ship feature of the bill alluions were made to the attempt to curb criti- cism of the conduct of the war or the publication of news that might be regarded as legitimate. Senator Lodge, in'explaining why he changed his vote to oppose press censorship, said that *e " had ‘been under a misapprehension as to what was contemplated- “I want to go on record as favor- ing free publication by the press of news pertaining to our part in this war,” Senator Lodge said. “I feel sure our press will exercise a proper regard for the proprieties.” & ‘The bill came up late in the day in the senate, after the Cummins amendment pertaining to ceneorship had been threshed out in the com- i The Joy of Feeling | Fresh and Fit is;a delightful sensation.

Copenhagen, via Lecndon, May 15.—- The potato shortage in Germany is making itself felt in spite of assur- ances at the time the bread ration was reduced last month that enough potatoes were on hand to permit a ' weekly per capita issue of five pounds until the next harvest. The bureau of food control, by strenuous efforts, has been able Ao supply a five pound ration in the Ber- : lin and Westphalia industrial dis- tricts, where the labor crisis at the time of the reduction of the bread ration wzs particularly acute. Bitter complaints, however, are coming from various sections of the :empire | which feel that they are being slight- , d. | It is true that in accordance with | the government's promise, the bread ! ration is not reduced where the five ! not | pound "allowance of potatoes is furnished.: Every poufld extra of flour applied for this purpose, how- | ever, upsets the government’s scheme of distributipn, which was based. on the fact that the stock of grain in the empire is barely adequate, under re- duced rations, “to carry the popula- tion through until August 15—the earljest possible date when flour from rwest is expected to 'be BERNHARD RAPS NORWAY. ' \ Claims Little Respect Is Shown Im- perial German Empire. . Copenhagen, via London, May 15.— George Bernhard, in his weekly ar- ticle in the Vossiche Zeitung, laments that lack of energy of the German miinister to Christiania in enforcing ect for Germany and German in- stitutions in Norway. He cites as an example the. prohibition by the Nor- ‘wegign authorities of a concert by Arthur Nikisch, conductor of the Ber- U Phitharmopic soclety, and former conductor of the Bostan Symphony. | Herr Bernhard demands. that steps taken to.compel the nmeutral pres: “to" keep within the bounds of inter- national decency-” The editor selects Denmark as a happy example of a neutral country’s correct attitude toward Germany. He says the German minister there, by dsplaying the necessary plainness of language and decision, has made the relations of Germany with Denmark really neutral and profitable. = "NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1017.

This was decided by the golf committee follow- ing a discussion of the advisability of holding the annual tournament of the organization at Baltusrol today- The enthusiasts refused to countenance any cancellation ,but instead pledged themselves to raise $2,000 or more with which to provide an ambulance immediately. There will be the usual prizes, which include four in each division. At first some of the members wanted to eliminate the prizes and turn over the money usually spent for the cups, etc., to the Red Cross, but since the amount is only trivial the outfit finally de- cided that if any donation is to be made it shall be something worth while. Therefore the prizes remain and -the ambulance is to be the pay- ment for one day of golf competition. | The Women'’s Metropolitan Golf as- | sociation will stage its third one-day | tournament of the year at Mont.cllirl today- AN EARLY BREAKPFAST BUT no need for the housewife to get, up an hour before N, breakfast time to coax along a sluggish fire—touch STANDARDOILCOQENY] - 5 match to the New Perfeetiqz‘Oil Cock Stove and the " cooking begins.
