TWO AMERICAN NURSES
KILLED ON SHIPBOARD

New York, May 21.--Two Ameri-
can urses, members of an American
ambulance corps on its way to France
for service, were killed on board an
American armed steamship when
pieces of a shell fired by a naval gun
crew in practice ricochetted from the
waters surface and scattered among
group of nurses and surgeons. A
third nurse was seriously wounded.
The steamship sailed on Saturday
evening for Europe. With her flag at
half mast she made into an American
port this morning bringing the bodies
of the dead nurses. These were
brought ashore. The steamship will
depart at an unnamed time.
The accident happened about $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. A gun
at the stern was being used An ex-
PLANTATION made by one of the ships
officers was that when a shell struck
the water about 175 feet from the
vessel the centrifugal force caused
bits of the steel to fly back on ship
board. One of the chips officers was
standing beside the nureses and was
uninjured.
The two Red Cross nurses killed
on the American steamer, referred to
in the foregoing dispatch, were Edith
Ayres and Helen Burnett Woods,
both of Chicago and attached to base
hospital No. ~.

Washington. May 23.-The Repub
lican Publicity Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., to-day gave out the following
statement at its Washington Head
quarters:
Some people seem to have ac-
quired the idea that newspapers are
opposed to the censorship provision
of the espionage bill because it would
work injury to them. Our cores
pondence with editors and persual
of papers from all parts Of the coun-
try convinces us this is not the case,
and for several reasons.
"If censorship law were enforced
against all papers equally, it would
work no special hardship upon any.
They would suffer no injury different
from that suffered by all the Ameri-
can people. Newspapers would lose
none of their subscribers or adver-
tisers, and there would be no mater
ial diminution in street sales. In
fact, a newspaper mans work would
be lessened if he were content to take
only such matter as censor's office
chose to give.
"But neither the American people
nor the editors can or should be
satisfied with any such limited and
unfair presentation of news regard
ing public business. 1t is quite pOss-
ible that public officials are sometimes
subjected to unfair treatment in pub
LEGATION of news, but it is absolutely
certain that if the administration
had power to control news sources,
facts given publicity would be I'M
mensely more unfair in favor of pub
lie officials than they are now unfair
against them.
The sum and substance OF the at
titude of the press, as we gather 1t,
Is this: editors are against dictator
ship. whether that dictatorship af-
fects their own business or any other
business. When the Treasury De-
partment tried to put the Riggs Bank
out of business, the press was against
the Department, not because it had
any particular interest in the Riggs
Bank but because it is opposed to
dictatorship over banking. When the
Federal Reserve Board attempted to
tell the banks they ought not invest
in certain British securities, news
papers took the Board to task, not
because they had any interest in Brit
i5h securities, but because they are
against food dictators, transportation
dictators and political dictators.
Absolute freedom of the press Is
the only safeguard to-day against es-
adjustment of all sorts of dictator
ship, ostensibly in the hands of the
President but in reality in the hands
Of bureaucrats put on the public pay
roll as q reward for political service.
If the. administration could secure
enactment of the censorship law it
wants, all the rest of its programme
of autocratic rule would be easy.
$50 far as we have observed,
editors believe in government by law
They are willing TO be responsible
under libel laws. They believe In
laws regulating transportation,
boarding of food, banking, and num-
erous other important lines of en-
terprise. But neither the editors
nor any considerable number OF 9TH
er people believe in establishing die
tatorships by delegating to admins
trative officers the discretionary powv
er TO make rules prescribing from
day TO day what the American people
may or may not do"
