15,00O DOCTORS ARE NEEDED FOR SERVICE
 IN THE NEW ARMIES
Medical Training Schools to Be Established at Once at Oglethorpe and Other
 Places

Washington, May 24-New army medi- cal schools will be established at Fort Oglethorpe Ga, Fort Riley, Kan; Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind, and possibly Leon Springs, Tex, for training the thousands of doctors who will be needed when the war armies are mobilized. An official statement issued today says 5000 men are needed now and that the serv- ices of 10,000 more will be required by the end of the year.
 To decentralize the educational work and train doctors for special branches of the profession. three new divisions of the army medical corps have been ere ated. They are the division of sanitary inspection, under Col Frederick P Rey- holds; the division of hospitals and hos pital construction, under Col. James B. Glennan, and the division of medical mill itary instruction, under Col. Edward L.. Munson, all three divisions being under the general supervision of Col. Henry R. Birmingham.
 Each of the camps will accommodate 600 doctors during the training course, and the three in Georgia, Kansas and inuldlld VIII De feduy June l. l He HTSt four weeks will be devoted. to instruct ing the doctors a s to duties of enlisted men of the hospital service, the second month to medical officers courses, and the third to field work, which can be omitted if the emergency requires. Tho doctors must in turn train 5000 enlisted men in hospital work.
 The first 1900 doctors will come from the medical reserve corps and the Ma tional Guard. An ambulance company and field hospital will be established at each camp and later special schools for enlisted men of the hospital corps will be added
 The hospital division of the medical corps is working out plans for the 32 di- visiOnal hospitals, one to be established at each of the divisional training camps for the new armies. Each of these will be able to care for 1903 patients and .n addition a rumber of clearing hospitals for more serious cases and receiving hos pitals at coast points also will be estab- lished

Washington, May 24.-Conferees of the Senate and House on the espionage bill will resume their conference to- morrow. prepared to respond to Presl- dent Wilson's desire for a further ef- fort to have Congress authorize cen sorship of the press
 Formal agreement on compromise censorship provision, a modified sub- stitute for the original administration and House proposals is regarded certain and it is also predicted that the con ferees will agree promptly upon the export embargo mail censorship. search warrant and other disputed sec tions of the measure.
 Although the conferees and admin istration leaders have sounded senti- ment in the Senate and House since the President reiterated his desire for cen sorship authority, the ultimate outcome in Congress still is regarded doubtful. There apparently is less chance of ad : lnlnlstration success. in the House than in the Senate, administration leaders at the capitol said tonight. Should the House accept the compromise clause proposed by the conferees, it is under stood that several senators who voted against censorship are now prepared to change.
 President Wilson has been told by some senators that until the appoint ment of George Greet as head of the bureau of public information, congress sional opposition to censorship was not so strong as at present.

BRITISH GUNNERS ARE AIDING IN BIG BATTLE WHICH IS IN PROGRESS
London Reports Unsuccessful Raids Made by Germans on English Lines-On French Sector Ar
 tillery Battles Continue

New York, May 24.-In sum- ming up the news from the va rious battle fronts in Europe, the Associated Press says:
 On a front of nearly 10 miles on the Carso plateau, the Ital- ian troops have smashed the Austrian line hard and taken various positions from the town of Castagnavizza to the head of the Gulf of Trieste. In their renewal of their offensive the Italians received valuable aid from some of the nine British batteries that have hauled their big guns down to the Isonzo front to help in the ef- forts aimed at the conquest of Trieste, Austria's big seaport on the Adriatic.
 Not alone were the Italians success ful in capturing numerous points of vantage, but more than 5000 Austrian prisoners, including officers in excess of 300, were taken. The Austrians are declared to have been taken complete ly by surprise by the sudden onslaught of the Italians, who to divert atten- tion from the southern end of the Isonzo line had struck hard blow to the north. When, however, the Aus trians recovered from their surprise they launched heavy counter attacks, but the Italians tenaciously held the ground they had won.
 ~ HARD FIGHTING AHEAD
 The new advance of the Italians brings them appreciably nearer Trieste, which, from the lower part of the line. is less than 10 miles away. The ground trav- ersed and yet to be passed over is diff cult for military operations and even with other successful advances, such as the last one, the objective of the Italians will not be attained except by fighting of a most despeEature nature
 X Comparative quiet still prevails on the western front in France, held by the British, but farther south around the bend in the line from Soissons, eastward intensive artillery duels are in progress between French and Germans, the most

Samuel Gompers Sends Stinging Answer to Invi- tation From Dutch
 Union Leader

Washington. May 24.--Another effort to get Americans to participate in peace parleys at Stockholm failed today when President Gompers of the American Fed eration of Labor, declined an invitation to send delegates to Stockholm trade union council to discuss the claims of labor in connection with peace negotia- tions. The congress will meet simulta- neously with the socialist peace confer ence on which the state department has put it's stamp of disapproval by refusing passports to Americans expecting to par ticipate and by warning citizens that such participation would be in violation of the law.
 The federation of labor's invitation came in cablegram from President Ou- degeest of the Dutch Federation of Trade Unions. MT. Gompers cabled this reply: Long before the United States en- tered the war the American Federation of Labor proposed an international con- ference after the war and at the time
