Joffre has added perfectly good
American word to his vocabulary He

The word, as Joffre pronounces it.,
Is ''bul-lee."

tracted series OF overwhelming
German defeats. It is fully half
of what Is needed. But 1t is not
sufficient. The Hohenzolrerns
must go.
"The rest OF the world realizes
whether the German people real
ize or not, that liberty in Ger
many and peace in the world
must remain sham as long as
the Hohenzollerns and their sup
porters retain any real power.
I'VE have a reason to suppose
that the most courageous and rep
resentat1ve spokesmen of the
German people also held this
view before the war, when half
a hundred opposition socialists
compelled the whole socialist
group to demonstrate their re-
pnblicanism and practically to
commit the crime of lese ma.
jeste by remaining seated and
silent In the reichstag when
cheers for the kaiser we're called
for at the close Of the session.
"The other day Ledebour, the
spokesman for what remains of
this group, again declared his re-
publican faith in the reichstag.
We hope that republicanism is
again on the rise and that it will
soon equal and surpass the re-
publicanism that existed before
the war.
But whether Germany prefers
a republic or constitutional
monarchy, the Hohenzollerns' ira
dition and prestige must not only
be reformed-it must be broken.
The kaiser himself claims that
kaiserism is to be democraticized
and thus strengthened in Its fight
against the other nations. 1t will
be difficult. If not impossible to
convince the democracies OF the
world that reformed ka1serism
is anything else than an effort of
the HohenZollerns to make the
German people more willing tools
of his foreign policy. Nothing but
the overthrow of the autocrat can
prove finally, to the world that
the German people repudiate his
past crimes and refuse to have
any share In the crimes he is
planning for the future.
There is only one way to bring
the war to an early end. The
kaiser must CO."

Senate Votes Down Censorship
Provision in Gregory Els
pionage Bill, by 80
to 38.
rs CALLED AUTOCRATIC
Objectionable Paragraph In Measure
Aroused Storm Of Criticism and
Opposition In
Congress.

! UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
/ WASHINGTON, May 12.-By a
tight majority Of one vote, the senate
| today struck from the Gregory
espionage bill, the censorship provi-
sion that would authorize autocratic
power to gag the press in any and
all criticism of the governments con-
duct of the war and the administra-
tion's international policies.
The vote was 80 to SS. Fifteen
| democrats lined up with twenty-four
republicans to defeat the objection
able provision which has caused a
! storm cf criticism from all over the
country and on the floor Of both
houses of congress.
! Senator Martin, democratic hoor
leader, was one Of the democrats
who voted against the provision
which Attorney General Gregory pro-
mulgated
Disposition of the censorship fea.
! ture leaves the president with no
/ specific control over the press. Other
sections of the espionage bill cover
reasonable utterances and 1t was the
contention Of those opposed to the
censorship, that those sections will
give the government ample powers to
protect itself.
1t is possible that later an effort
will be made by the administration
to secure addition of a much modi-
fed censorship provision. but the
temper of the senate is such as to
absolutely prohibit any drastic regu-
lation of the press or interfere with
the rights Of free speech.
Under the rule allowing ten MIN
utes to each senator to speak on diff
ferent provisions Of the espionage
bill, discussion Of other sections went
on today and vote on the whole
bill is expected before adjournment
this evening. Even as 1T stands, it
gives the president powers such as
hardly exceeded by any ruler in the
world.
The president IS authorized to issue
proclamations governing movements
of all vessels in Am erican territorial
waters and to take possession of all
such vessels If necessary.
The president is authorized to en-
ploy land and naval forces to pre-.
vent destruction OF injury to any ves'
sci in American waters; to prevent
vessels as resort for anyone conspir-
ing against the United States.
A penalty of not more than twenty
five years Imprisonment for anyone
fomenting trouble or conveying false
reports about the military and naval
forces of the country.
1t provides heavy penalty for any.

The socialists message comes at a

gents, are working vigorously under

The message constitutes a virtual

"The democratic peoples of the

against Germany and her auto

message reads.
The German socialist faction
that opposes the government has
already realized that both an
early peace and German liberty
require that the power of the
Kaiser should be rigidly and i'm
mediately curtailed and they
have announced the following
program as cure for kaiserism:
