CENSORSHIP OF PRESS I

Borah Leads Renewed Attack on

Debate on the administration espion-
age bill continued in the Senate today
with the fate Of the section imposing
press censorship and other restric-
tons upon publication Of military AZ

This section provides . ten-ysAr I'M

sons who collect. publish or elicit in
formation concerning matters OF ma
tfonal defense which might be OF use
to the enemy. in violation OF regula-
tions by the President.
Opponents Of the section were ready
today to renew their hight. confident
that it would either be defeated or
materially modified.
The Senate added an amendment, Of
fered by Senator Lodge, designed to
protect the right of comment or cfiti-
cism Of acts or policies.
Borah Attacks Feature.
Senator Borah of idaho made o
lengthy attack upon the press censor-
ship feature. Congress. Senator Borah
contended. citing numerous legal au-
thorities. is utterly devoid of power to
in any way interfere with liberty OF
the press. The censorship proposal he
declared. is "nebulous. drastic and ON
nipotent. the consequences Of which no
man can foresee."
Writings of various statesmen. who
participated in framing the Constitu-
ton, including Hamilton. Jefferson and
Madison. were read by Senator Borah
to show that federal power over the
press is expressly excluded. Inability
to pass laws OF a religious nature, the
Idaho senator asserted, rests upon the
same prohibition that prevents interior.

No Difference Of Opinion.
Whatever may be the construction
placed upon the Constitution in thsss
days of somewhat latitudinous con-
struction," said Senator Borah. "there
Is no doubt that their trainers thor
oughly understood and were agreed
that the national government should be
absolutely excluded from all power over
the press. There was no difference OF
opinion on that"
The first constitutional amendment.
Senator Borah said. was added to make
certain that interference with liberty OF
the press by the federal government
was expressly denied.

FRANCE, April is. via London.-The hex-
ibiity of their trench communications and
the effectiveness of their machine guns
are the two elements of defense upon
(which the Germans appear to be placing
their greatest reliance in the present

mentS of the more important defensive
trenches enable the German lighting

and a great system of them is con-
nected with the Hindenburg. or Sieg-
with these strategic switch lines in
view that Field Marshal Won linden
burg recently declared thar the Ger
man lines in the west could not be
broken.
System Requires Great Labor.
The preparation and maintenance of
the elaborate system requires an un-.
told amount of labor. for each section
of trench must have several belts of
wire front. The Germans have become
so accustomed to fighting behind barbed
wire that they would not think now of
doing otherwise il it can be avoided.
Most of the digging appears to have
been done by prisoners of war. As the
German lines fall back the dig1gers also
fall back to construct still more
trenches in which the Germans may
later find shelter.
Under this plan. of course. it would
be possible to drive back the Germans
to the Rhine. and they could still say
the line was unbroken. In the mean

USE MILK
Milk, when warm, is an ideal cul-
tural medium for bacteria. Keep
milk clean. You can keep it clean
only by keeping it covered so that
the bacteria and mOlds from the air
will not get into it.
Keep your milk bottles covered
either with caps or by placing glass
es over them. Keep them covered in
the refrigerator and in the kitchen
or dining room.
Never pour milk into an unsterile
bowl or pitcher. ScaId all vessels in
to which milk is poured for keeping
or serving. Cool these utensils after
scaIding, before you put milk into
them.
Before you open bottle of milk
wash and wipe the outside of the cap
with water and a clean cloth. The
little depression at the top of the bot
tie collects dust or water or milk,
which may attract flies. Lift out the
cap with a pointed instrument, so
that the outside of the cap, which
may be contaminated, will not be
pushed down into the milk.
Clean and scald the refrigerator
where milk is stored, regularly with
hot saI-sOda solution See that the
drip pipe is kept open and clean.
Even in the cIeanest refrigerator,
never keep milk in an open vessel.
Milk absorbs OdOrs easily.

has not had the Cattle Raisers' con-.

contained in n letter read by Col Ike

had been felt for some time that san
