Later it was learned that when leaving Elm it was blowing hard and the snow drifting making it impossible to see very well. when there sudden ily appeared a vicious reindeer that without cause attacked the mail team, getting in the very center of the dogs, kicking viciously and
 using every means at its disposal to infiict injuries upon the mail team. The carrier threw his sled
 upon the side and went to protect his dogs and in doing so had to come within striking distance of the blood thirsty animal. The deer instantly struck the carrier heavy
 blow over the heart rendering him nearly helpless for short time and before the deer could be

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1S- Senator Lodge in a very emphatic speech vigorously opposed news censorship and criticism of the Ad- ministration and Congress.
 He said that such criticism has a tonic effect and should be per mitted while all war news except that of value to the enemies should not be subjected to censorship. It would be very easy to make things ridiculous by imposing a censorship which was good for nothing else ex- cept to furnish some official or bureaucrat with an opportunity to show his authority.
