Washington. May 3l.-The hopes Of
the administration for a censorship
provision In the espionage bill were
practically killed this afternoon
BY a vote of 1s4 to 144 tho house
recommitted the espionage bill with
explicit instructions to the conferees
TO eliminate the censorship section.
The elided provision authorized the
president to declare what would be

Although it had been anticipated
that the Democratic ranks would
stand for the administration policy.
no less than thirty seven Democrats
bolted and voted with the Republi-
cans. On the other hand, despite the
recent caucus OF Republicans against
censorship. ten of that political per-
suasion voted against their fellows
There seems small chances now
that censorship will survive the de-
cisive blow. Twice has the senate re-
JScted applications to include such
laws into the espionage bill It is
said Senator 0yerman will be unable

ENGAGED
 IN PATRIOTIC SERVICE

Little Rock, June 21.-Many thous- ands of Arkansas men, women and children are engaged in patriotic ser vice. Although it is impossible even to guess the exact number of people within the state conscientiously en- deavoring to do their part, letters re- ceived by the Arkansas State Council of Defense indicate that a vast num- Der are working along patriotic lines and that there is not a town in the state which has not some organiza- tion or group of persons trying to serve to the best of their ability. The defense council has a committee, of which Joseph W. House, Jr., is chair man, which will have as it's work the great task of co-ordinating the many agencies which are doing war work of one kind or another and to this committee the many letters already received have been referred
 The Arkansas State Council of De- fense urges individuals to report to the council the various activities in their communities, so that needless Implications may be avoided and Ar kansas be put in position to go ahead with its war work in the most efficient manner possible. The letters received have made it plain that the patriotism of Arkansas has been aroused and that there are a great many doing their bit to the limit of their time and ability.
 The council particularly desires the names of all societies now en- gagged or desirous of engaging in patriotic work, with the names and addresses of their officers and chair men of committees and a statement of the functions which each department or committee of the organization is expected to perform.
