ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Message flee apparently suffered English csn- sorship. Only one dispatch detailing certain changes in the previous lists of survivors and missing escaped the censor's blue pencil. Lack of def mite news, balanced by a. host of ru mors that tried the nerves of of ficials, left them tonight in keen state of apprehension as to the fate of at least one more large steamer in or near the war zone, the Lap land, which sailed on August F from New York for Liverpool with SIS passengers, including thirteen Americans, and a capacity cargo of war munitions and other supplies. It was also rumOred that the liners Bowie and Nicosian were torpedoed
 After the Bowie had been reported sunk a dispatch tonight said the steamer had arrived al Liverpool and proceeded to Manchester. The Bowie a freighter, departed from New York on August 6. The Nicosian belongs to the Leyland line. a subsidiary of the International Mercantile Marine company, owners of the White Star line. A rumor that she too was des- troyed by a German submarine was current, but like many similar re- ports that agitated ship owners re- gently, the report lacked verification
 This was disproved by the mari time records which showed she sailed from New orleans on August l for Avonmouth and Liverpool. The Nj

abolish a post or station once estab-

abandonment by local interests which
profit by it's proximity.
