fines prohibited publication exclusive

much more liberal section than others
previously proposed by the admins

to prevent shipments of supplies to
Germany through neutrals.
The agreements will be formally
presented tomorrow.

sented to congress follows:

bers, equipment, description, or dispo-
sition of any of the armed forces of

fertilization or defense of any place.

full to the enemy, is hereby prohibit
ed; and the president may, from time
to time, by proclamation. declare the
character of such above-described in
formation which is or may be useful
to the enemy, and in any prosecution

five years. or both"
The new section was prepared by
Chairman Webb. of the house Judi
ciary committee
Hope to Pass Provision
Hope prevailed among Supporters
of censorship that most of the demo
Gratis and some republicans, despite
the fact that house republicans in con-
ference have voted against all forms
or censorship would support the new
section.
The new section is the result of
President Wilson's personal insistence
on some sort of censorship. Recently
he called the senate conferees to the
white house and "old them one must
be included Doubtful of its success,
they agreed to prepare one an sound
7ut sentiment in both houses.
The conferees also agreed, Sui ;ect
only to formal action at tomorrow's
meeting, to the senate amendments
extending the use of search warrants
and for censorship of the mails.

Our Airmen Destroy Many Planes.

Grand Headquarters of the French
Army, Thursday, Aug. 23.-The La
fayette Squadron, composed of Ameri-
can airmen enlisted in the French
aerial service. was cited in army or
ders today for it's courage and spirit
of sacrifice. The citation, which is
signed by Gen. Petain, commander
in-chief of the French armies oper-
ating on the French front, follows:.
"The squadrilla composed OF
American volunteers who have come
to fight for France in the pure spirit
of sacrifice, has fought incessantly
under the command of Capt. Georges
Thenault, who formed it for an ar
dent fight against our enemies. In
very severe combats it has paid the
price of serious losses, which, far
from weakening, have increased its
morale.
'The squadrilla has brought down
twenty-eight airplanes. 1t has
aroused the profound admiration of
commanders who have had it under
their orders. and also of French
sauadrillas which are fighting beside
it and have desired to rival it in
valOr."
