Of the newspapership censorship
feature Of the espionage bill was nor
sufficient to save It in the house
today, whore it was killed by vote
of 220 to 167.
The vote came after administra-

section and Chairman Webb. of the
judiciary committee, had told the
house that he had been told by the
president that the section was
necessary for the defense of the
country.
Postmaster General eurIeson
n,adesa futile attempt to get enough
votes for the censorship section.
Al the same time the senate was
debating the bill and President
Wilson's approval Of the export
embargo section was used there.
Senator overman read letter
from tho president, dated April Ia,
endorsing the section. The letter
was read after Senator Reed had
challenged a statement by Senator
overman that the president per.
sonally endorsed the provisions.
"A few weeks ago" said Senator
Overman, ''it became known that
this country was sending food,
clothing and many other things to
Germany thru neutraIs."

BASE HOSPITALS TO FRANCE.
United States TO Increase Hospital Fa-
elitics Behind Fighting Front.


Washington, May 4.--Deflnite plans
have been completed for sending United
States army base hospitals to the tight
ing front In France. The number Of
the units, the time of their departure
and the exact destinations can not. for
obvious reasons, be disclosed. -
The sending Of the hospital units Is
in accord with the plan to Increase
the hospital facilities behind the front
and reduce the number of hospital
ships which have become special tar
gets for German submarines.
Despite protests of the Red Grass
destruction of ships bearing wounded
soldiers continues. Since Germany oe-
clines to hear the protests of civiliza-
ton the only course to the allies Is to
reduce the opportunities for shs vio-
lation of humanity's laws.

their training the officer candidates
VIII be organized in fourteen infantry
companies and drilled as such by reg
ular and national guard officers and
such OF their own number as may he
