on their way to the hotel, the afore-

friends followed the speaker and
others, using impreeations and threats
and called him the vilest Of names at

the speaker to the hotel and even In

occasions, but finally left the hall. No

Mr.. Bulman and his friends passed out

measures employed by tho enemies OF
free discussion. A man who had been
persuaded by a bare one-Afth Of
Walla Walla's population to 60 to
the managers Of the Odd FellovsF
Temple and endeavor to have Mr..
Bulman's contract violated was not
to be drawn into any position which
would not please those who had par.
suaded him into such action. And
thus was the censorship which the
editors may have looked upon 40 dis
cretionary protection to themselves
and fairness to Catholics" placed In
operation in a manner that affected
not one person, but large majority
of the citizenship Of Walla Walla.
And right here are the evils Of CEN
sorship most apparent. The editors
had determined not to publish matter
which Mr., Bulman and HIS sympa-
thizers might present. This might
have been agreed upon as a matter
of discretion intended only to effect
Mr.. Bulman, but like all gags on
free speech or free press no matter
by whom they are inaugurated or adj
ministered the evil did not stop at Its
: anticipated limits. Consequently when
the citizens of Walla Walla, repre-
, senting as a class four-fifths Of the
population, asked to have the notice
of the mass meeting run, even offer
: ing to pay for the same, the sub
] servient press, (pFostituted in effect
at least to the uses Of small minor
ity) refused to accept the copy and
, the citizens were put to the necessity
, of having hand bills printed and dis

 in An0ther's Pocket.

Private Norman Mckay of Company E, First Connecticut Infantry. was ac- cidentally shot through the right fore- arm by companion at the armory this morning and Sergeant Walter Bober narrowly escaped injury by the same bullet. The rife with which the soldier was shot was a regulation Springfield, caliber 80.
 A complete investigation by Lieuten- ant Griffin showed conclusively that tho shooting was accidental and no formal charges have been preferred, the wounded man himself making a plea for the one in whose hand the gun went off.

RIOTS AND BLOODSHED AS 3
 MUNITIONS WORKERS OUI1
ADVENTISTS FORECAST END OF WORLD SOON Neither Entente Nor Central Powers Can Win War.
 Speaker Says.s

The teaching of the second com ing of Christ was given new signifi- canoe at the Adventist convention this morning when George V. Stephens de- clared that the present world war is the Armageddon or the last battle of the great day of the Lord.
 Judging from present conditions, it was argued by the speaker and many other delegates in attendance, that while as Adventists they desired not to be guilty of setting a time for the Lords return they were fully per- suaded" that present world conditions of vice, war and bloodshed cannot possibly continue many years more.
 Using Amos 3:7, the speaker showed that God would do nothing except He revealed it to his servants, the prophets" and from Rev. 1:20 ''that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation" but that God is his own interpreter and that He will make it plain'' so that He that runs may read" There is no need for the coming of the Christ overtaking any one in the world un- awares, as all may be Children of light and not of the darkness" If they so choose.
 From Dan. ?, the speaker claimed to prove that there can never be vic- tory for Entente Allies or German Allies in the present war because there have been four universal em- pires Babylon, Medro-Persia, Greece and Rome) and the fifth universal empire is to be the Kingdom of God set up on the earth and for immortal being only, to occupy, in eternal bliss and happiness.
 The constant desire on the part of good church people and peace propa- gandists to bring about peace on earth was used by several speakers to portend sudden destruction to this world Admonition to be fully pre- pared to go through troubled times before the Lords return was made by several speakers. "A time of trouble such as there never was since there was nation" (Dan. 12:D was in- terpreted to be the future experience of the earth's inhabitants. The large congregation which attended was warned to belive in Jesus as their only helper.
 The convention closes tomorrow. All are invited to the services to be held this evening and throughout the day tomorrow.

HIT BY TRAIN BUT
 IS NOT BADLY HURT
John Kowalsli of 28O Broad Street Struck at Church Street Crossing
 By Berlin "Dinky."

Struck at Church Street CrOS6an&
 By Berlin "Dinky."
 Lacerations of the scalp with null tiple abrasions about head and body were suffered by John Kowalskt of 28O Main street shortly before this afternoon when he was struck a xlancing blow by Q New Britain-bound ..dinky" train from Berlin just east of the Church street crossing. He was rushed to New Britain General hospital in the ambulance with Po- licemen Frederick Wagner and Thomas F. Woods in charge. Unless internal injuries develop, it is ex- pected he will recover.
 Kowalski, who is employed at the plant of the Stanley Rule and Level com pany, worked this morning and is supposed to have been on his way home after passing a time with fellow workmen in that location. Because of his dazed condition, police and railroad officials have been unable to ascertain the cause of his presence on the tracks and definitely how he came to be struck. He says that he did not become aware of the Approach of the train until it was near him and then supposed that he had gotten to a safe distance to one side. It is SUD- posed that he was struck by pro- iecting piece of one of the cars, was thrown to one side and rolled clear of the wheels.
 Crew members of the train and yard attaches gave first aid treat ment pending the arrival of the ann bulance. Kowalski persisted in un- dressing himself unaided at the hos pita1. '.
