DISCUSS EFFECT
OF NEW LAW ON
CITIZENS ABROAD
By Associated Press,

Washington, May 31.-Whilc the
legal machinery of the government
was operating today to stamp out agl-
tation against the draft, the war de-
rartment took up another phase of the
matter dealing with the status OF
Americans now in foreign countries.
Secretary Baker called upon Briga-
dicr General Crowder. jurdgc advo-
cate general and provost marshal gen.
eral Of the army, for an opinion as to
the effect of the new law upon Amer
leans of military age residing abroad.
Department officials generally have
presumed that the privileges of citizen
ship would carry with them a duty for
military service not affected by for
eign residences, but no formal ruling
will be made until the opinion of Gen.
eral Crowder has been received. The
question Involves to some degree spe-
cific terms of the extradition treaties
between the United States and other
countries. Many Americans of mill
tary age now abroad have been eager
to enroll and diplomatic ANA consular
officials have been authorized to act
as registration agents.
Departure Law Violation.
Meantime the department Of justice
is proceeding on the theory that the
departure from American soil of any
citizen subject to the draft Is an eva
sion of the law. n was revealed today
that steps already had been taken TO
prevent such departures. and that at
tempts at this form of evasion would
be met by vigorous measures.
Department officials also made 1t
clear that they would back up to the
full extent Of their authority the ef-
forts of local officials In the various
communities to put quick end to agt-
tation against the draft. The arrests
made during the day throughout tho
country were In accordance with In
structions sent from Washington.
Discussing reports that many young
men were leaving the country to avoid
military service, Secretary Baker sale
today he did not believe any substan.
tial number of Americans" would take
that course. lie added that the Law
was of such vigor that II would h
found that any evasion gained In thi
! way was only temporary.

THINK WILSON WILL.
YIELD FOR PRESENT
Thirty-Seven Democrats Join
Republicans in Opposing
Press Muzxle.
ey Associated Press.

Washington, May 31.--The adinlnis-
tration's fight for a war censorship on
newspapers was lost In congress today.
at least for the present. when the
house refused by a vote of 184 to IA
to accept even the modified censorship
section written into the espionage bill
in conference. The senate already Is
on record as opposed to q censorship
and leaders in congress do not expect
any further administration effort to
enact ohe in the immediate future.
The test in the house came on q mo-
tion to recommit the espionage bill
with instructions that the censorship
regulation be eliminated. Thirty-sev-
en- Democrats joined the Republicans
voting for the motion. Eleven Re-
publicans. disregarding their party's
caucus decision. voted in the negative.
The bill, shorn of the censorship
provision, probably will be reported to
both senate and house within few
days and finally accepted. 1t carries
important notifications of the spy
laws and authorization for the presi-
dent to lay embargoes in war time.
but most Of the controversy regarding
1t has centered about the censorship
sprop0sai.
The section which had been agreed
on by the conferees was somewhat
similar to ono which the house had
substituted for the more sweeping pro-
vision drawn up and submitted by the
administration. The senate. while the
bill was under debate. threw the Gen.
sorship section out entirely.
In the house debate today, opponents
of censorship argued that a restriction
such as the conferees proposed would
violate the right of a free press. The
voluntary censorship under which the
| comntry's newspapers were now work
ing was pointed to as demonstrating
| the patriotism of editors and as prov
| ing that no legal restrictions are
needed.
Democrats voting with the Rcpub-
licans to recommit the bill included
Dill. Washington; Evans, Montana. and
Van Dyke. Minnesota.
