said he declared there were rumors
that there was gambling house in

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-How
Germany "shamefully abused and ex-
plotted" the protection of the United
States by secreting in the German
legation at Bucharest, after the
American government had taken
charge of Germanys affairs at the
Rumanian capital, quantities of pow
erful explosives for bomb plots and
deadly microbes with instructions for
their use in destroying horses and
cattle, was revealed today by Sec.

It was another of the series Of

the whole 1t is probable that an
other roll call On the Johnson
amendment will be demanded when
the bill comes up for final disposition
next week, but there was every reason
to believe that the result would NOT
be changed.
The defeat of the censorship Sec
ton marked Senator Johnson's first
big victory in national politics. iS
brought to an end one of the mose
stubborn contests waged in the SER
ate in recent years and gave assur
ance unless some new developments
intervenes, that the country will be-
kept fully informed of the conduct OF
the war.
Defeats President.
Senator Johnson's victory was
gained in the face of strong odds. A
though nationally conspicuous fo.>
many years, his newness in the SEN
ate was severe handicap. Hts
struggle for free speech and free
press called forth all the powers OF
fighting leadership which made him
the dominant figure in California poll
tics. He declined to accept any COM
promise, held out to the bitter end
for mo censorship" and finally won.
