PRESIDENT TO
STOP LEAKS
Orman Owned Insurance Companies
Prohibited from Operating in the
United States
NEW YORK. N. Y., July 27.—Presi
dent Wilson has isseud a proclamation
prohibiting German-owned marine in
surance companies from operating in
the United States, on the ground that
they are thus enabled to transmit ship
ping information and details of sail
ings toward Germany.
Congress, after debating the air pro
gram for four hours, decided to in
form the War Department that it was
desirable to withhold information
from Germany in respect to all war ac
tivities. Several Congressmen severe
ly criticised the recent publication of
aviation details and it was agreed to
put the censorship lid on more tightly
in the future, and to maintain a dis
creet silence on important war prepa
rations in the future.

able report on a resolution providing

BOMB KILLED
KITCHENER
Scotland Yard I nearths Real Cause of
C'rusier’s Loss with Head of
British Army
NEW YORK, July 27.—Out of the
accustomed silence of Scotland ^ ard,
England’s secret service headquarters,
comes the startling announcement that
the disaster which cost Lord Kitchener
and his stafT their lives, was caused
not by his ship striking a mine but by
a bomb placed aboard the boat by a
German spy.
This bald announcement is enrich
ed by few details for “silence and se
crecy” is the motto of the Yard and
until the incident is absolutely closed,
nothing concerning it is ever given out
and then, very little.
It is known that the perpetrator
of the crime was a German who had
been educated in England, masquer
aded as an Englishman and commis
sioned in the British navy.
Lord Kitchener and his staff were
on route to Russia on the cruiser
Hampshire when the ship went down
off the West Orkney Islands. Not a
man of the crew of three hundred
were saved. It is considered remark
able that a German could so com
pletely work himself into the confi
dence of high naval authorities as to
have been able to have access to the
vessel on which the distinguished
party embarked.
Efforts were made to clear up the
mystery of the ship’s sinking but the
general public believed it must have
struck a mine. It remained for Scot
land Yard to find the true cause which
robbed the nation of its war leader.

SPINSTERS HELP MAKE TOWN
PROSPEROUS, SAYS SCIENTIST
University of Washington, July 10.
—The more old maids there are, the
more prosperous the village, main
tains Professor Trevor Kincaid of the
zoology department, dropping into
economics. He proves it thus: “The
more old maids there are, the more
cats there are; the more cats there
are, the less field mice there are; the
less field mice there are, the more
bees there are; the more bees there
are, the better the clover is fertilized;
the better the clover crop, the more
prosperous the village; therefore, the
more old maids there are, the more
prosperous the village is.”
The relation between cats and the
clover crop has been proven in many
parts of the world.
