CENSORSHIP FIGHT
 |S T0 BE STARTED
 AGAIN IN CONGRESS
TRerublican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The news paper censorship fight was re-opened in congress today following President Wilson's action in personally interven ing to insist upon inclusion of some form of press regulation in the admin istration espionage bill.
 The presidents desire for censorship power of some sort was emphasized today to senate conferees on the es- pionage bill, who were called to the White House for the purpose. Surprise over the step was expressed generally at the capitol, where the belief had grown that the administration had ac- cepted the senate's unfavorable vote as final.
 Whether the administration will at tempt to force through a censorship authorization was said tonight to de- pend upon soundings being made by leaders among the house and senate membership. especially the former The conferees held another meeting today, but were unable to break their dead Jock over censorship and adjourned until Friday to sound out sentiment again.
 Should the leaders find that there is reasonable prospect of acceptance by the house of modified censorship, it
  had agreed tentatively to adopt and present the following provision:
 Tn time of war the president is hereby authorized to prescribe and promulgate rules and regulations for the purpose of preventing the dis closure to the public, and thereby to i the enemy of information with respect to the movement, numbers, descrip- | tion and disposition of any of the armed forces of the United States in | naval or military operation, or with respect to any works intended for the | fertilization or defense of any place; and whoever, in time of war, shall will fully violate any such regulation shall , be punished by fine of not more than five years or by both such fine and i'm prisonment.
 Provided, that nothing in this sec tion shall be construed to limit or re- strict, nor shall any regulation herein provided for limit or restrict any dis cussiOn, comment, or criticism of the acts or policies of the government or it's representatives, or the publication of the same"

COOD RESPONSE ID
 OFFERING IF SHORT
 TERM CERTIFICATES
IReoublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 23.-An over whelming response has greeted the treasury departments latest offering of $200000,000 short term certificates of indebtedness it was officially an nounced tonight, by approximately 50 per cent and the books have been closed two days ahead of the date originally set because no further sub scriptions can be taken.
 The certificates bear interest at the rate of 3A per cent, one-fourth of one per cent higher than the last offering. While they are not directly convert ible into liberty bonds, they are re- ceivable at par and accrued interest in payments made by subscribers to the bonds.
 Allotments of the offering will be made tomorrow. It will be necessary to scale down the subscriptions by ap- proximately one-t third because of the over subscriptions. Subscriptions from New York, it is understood. were espe- cially large.
 The prompt acceptance of the offer ing reflects the quickened public in terest officials think, in the liberty loan. While the campaign for placing the loan is almost in full swing, it is pointed out that a tremendous amount of work yet has to be done before the amount is subscribed, without consider ing the greatly hopedfor over-sub- scription.
 Mrs. w. c. McAdoo, wife of the sec retary of the treasury and daughter of President Wilson, today called q meet ing for Friday, June 1, of the women's liberty loan committee, of which she is chairman. Well known women in every section of the country are mem bers, and they will be called upon to launch a campaign for subscriptions to the liberty loan.

Dr. Wu Ting Fang. Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 PEKING, May 23.- President Ii Yuan Hung has issued a mandate dis missing Premier Yuan Chi Jui from office and naming Dr. Wu Ting Fang, former ambassador to the United States as acting premier and empow- ering him to form a new cabinet.
 This action probably will end the deadlock in parliament and make pos sible declaration of war by China against Germany.
 The provincial military governors who were attempting to disband parh- ament left Picking before the president took action against Tuan Chi Jui. as the president had positively announced that he would disregard their demand for dissolution of the legislative body The president declared that parliament must not be coerced in any way and announced his intention to conduct the government in accordance with the provisional constitution at any cost The disgruntled military governors probably will instigate protests in the provinces against President Ii Yuan Hung for his rebuke to the military power, but the presidents firm stand is inspiring admiration in unexpected quarters
 Indications are that the military leaders, headed by Yuan Chi Jui, lost public sympathy through the demon- strations of the mob the night of May 10 when, after a riotous secret session in which the hodse of representatives refused to pass a resolution declaring war on Germany, the parliament build ing was surrounded by a large crowd which demanded war and made threats i of violence.
 General Wang Shin Chen, chief of 1 the general staff, had been made com mander of the emergency troops guarding the Peking- Tien Tsin railway to prevent the disgruntled military i, leaders from seizing the line.

[Republicar A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON. May 23.-Bra- zil's entry into the war is re- carded here as a question merely Of days. Those who have watched South American developments closely believe that the sinking of the steamer Tijuca may pro- vide the incident required to place the more pacific members of the Brazilian congress in the list of those willing to vote for active hostiiities against Germany.
 President Braz asked congress yesterday to revoke the oeclara- ton of neutrality and if congress accepts this suggestion formal declaration of war probably will follow immediately. Brazil was one Of the first South American countries to sever relations with Germany. The text of the presi- dents message emphasizing Bra zi's traditional policy Of contin- ental solidarity and friendship for the United States was received by cable today at the state de- partment and at the Brazilian embassy.
 The embassy translation says in part:
 "The Brazilian nation. through her legislative organ, without warlike intention, but with firm ness may take in consideration the fact that one Of the belliger ents is an inteerant part of the American continent and 70 that belligeren we are united by traditional friendship and the same political tkoueht for the defense of vital interests in Amer ea and the" principles accepted in international law.
 "Accentuatinq that this policy Of continental solidarity is not the policy of the present government nor if the present regime but the traditional policy of the Brazilian nation, submit the matter to the judgment of the national congress and feel sure that whatever res oIut;on is adopted it will make still firmer the understanding that fortunate, exists between Brazil and the United States"

 LONDON, May 23.-The sinking of eighteen merchantmen of more than 1e1O sons is reported in the weekly shipping statement
 Nine vessels of less than 1900 tons and Sthree fishing vessels also were sunk.
 For the third week in succession the losses of British shipping from the submarine war have been held sub stantially below the larger figures which caused so much alarm last month.
 The heaviest losses were shown in the report of April 26, which an nounced the sinking of forty vessels of more than 1900 tons. each.
 This weeks figures of vessels sunk by submarines show that the allied navies are keeping up the good work of the previous fortnight and the Amer ican unit. although still a small one. shares the credit for excellent work. Not only are the sinkings being kept at a fairly low figure, but the offensive H~ains+ U boats also continues to show favorable results. The actual figures III this respect, however, are not known
 The British admiralty this week is pleased at the mention of the sub marine campaign for results of the naval work in the past two weeks are regarded as really indicating an in dependent victory over the Germans The German naval heads had freely predicted that England would be 'on her knees" by June l and gloomy pie lures were painted of famine certain by that date for the people of Great Britain and France
 T,rna i iS al 1r1nct bara nd (-QrTna n victory in the submarine warfare seems as far distant as ever. There has been constant improvement in the methods of the allies in opposing and expressing L boat activity, and these methods have become more and more successful with longer days and finer weather and increasing familiar ity on the part of the shippers of mer- chantmen with the methods of naval control.
 An admiralty official, speaking to the Associated Press, said.
 "Fhe American destroyers are play ing no small part in the anti submarine war. and our officers have expressed the greatest enthusiasm at the spirit enterprise, acUmen and quick -witted- ness with which the American unit has taken up the work The Americans are already thoroughly conversant with ou1 methods and we hope they will SCOT begin teaching us some new angles Ol course there is little to be said to the public regarding the methods. But thus far we are working on the princi- pie that there is no royal road to sue cess against U boats.
 Hard work and infinite pains is oul receipt It is the old American doctrine of keeping everlastingly at it."
