Soon afterward the navy yard was
reached and there the party was re-

Bumps.

Bumps are not all alike and there is
little resemblance between q Bump on
a log and a Bump of experience. Both
of them are prominent Bumps, how
ever, and other Bumps of note are
Bumps on your head and Bumps in the
road. Some people declare that they
enjoy Bumps while others admit they
can't afford better cars. If you ever
feel that you need n Bump you will
find plenty Of them all the way down
stairs or in u rooming house mattress.
Bumps are almost as indespensa BILE to
babies as graham crackers. With q
handful of graham crackers to Strew
about the house and six or eight Bumps
baby spends u pleasant afternoon.
There are times when it is hard to
tell the difference between a Bump and
Il Lump, but as the question is seldom
one of much Importance it is probably
not worth pulling over. Some people
have Bumps and nothing more on the
ends of their neCks. And the swelling
never seems to subside.

New York. April 25.-Resolutions
press censorship CLAUSE in the espion-
age bill because it strikes at the fun
damnetal rights Of the people, and Is
full of peril to free institutions" were
unanimously adopted by the Ameri
can Newspaper Publishers association
at their annual convention here today.
1.-The proposed legislation" the reso-
luton said, strikes at the fundamen-
tai rights of the people. not only as
sailing their freedom of speech. but
also seeking to deprive them of the
means of forming intelligent opinion.
It's possible consequences are full of
peril to free institutions
The censorship proposed is believed
to be a violation of the constitution of
the United States, which prohibits
congress from "abridging the freedom
Of speech or of the press" an effort to
suspend this constitutional guarantee,
where ultimately sustained or not, is
sure to be followed by grave injury
to the rights of the people. whose one
great safeguard in time of war is an
untrmmeled press.
"A voluntary censorship. suggested
by the government. is being carefully
observed by the newspapers OF the
United States and no loyal newspaper
will knowingly print that which would
give aid to the enemy. Any newspaper
that wilfully publishes information of
military value, can and should be,
prosecuted under the law on treason.
I'm war especially the press should
be free. vigilant and unfettered. The
American people are entitled to full
and frank statement of all that &C.

can be no justification for a restriction
that abridges the liberty of the press.

that they are getting the truth.

legislation, therefore, is most earnest

Press that the Mongolia had fired the
first gun of the warl for the United
States and had sunk a German sub
marine.
Naval gunners on board made a

Captain Rice declared there was alb
solutely no doubt that the submarine
was hit. There is every reason to be-
lieve it was destroyed. The periscope
was sighted dead ahead on the last
afternoon of the voyage. The captain
gave the order for full speed ahead,
with the intention of ramming the
submarine. The periscope disappeared
and few minutes later reappeared on
the ships broadside. Grnners fired.

and the manner in which they were

Even u more pertinent fact as re-
CARDS the ultimate fate of the sub
marine was that the shell disappeared
Immediately after the hit w&s made.
The captain stated that the shell, al
ways ricocheting in the water can be
seen again unless it finds its mark.
Oil was also seen~on the water after
the submarine disappeared. The Mon
golia was going full speed ahead and
was a long distance away when the
spray and foams subsidized, but from
the bridge officers observed the shot
through their glasses and they are
confident the submarine was sunk.
