Washington, July u. - President
Wilson will forbid censorship of new.
dispatches under government eontroI
of wires.
He assured congressional leaders to-
day that press associations and pres.
bureau business will be left unlisturb
ed and asked that the senate be So

Postmaster General Burleson would es
tablish censorship if given control OF

The president intends that newspa.

with the same freedom as now, it was
stated.
Despite this, however, Senators Reed
and WATSON announced they will press
their amendments exempting newspa,
per wires from government control.
Indications to-day were that the res.
oluton would pass the senate without
amendment by tomorrow night,
Meantime talk of recess went for
ward rapidly.
Negotiations were begun to fix Au.

time prohibition.
Drys are willing to postpone action
on the amendment to give congress an
opportunity to recess as soon as the
wire resolution is passed. if the vets
will agree to fix date for a vote. Vets
are viking to agree that tne prohibi.
tion question be made the order of
business Immediately after recess,
but some are not willing to concede
definite voting date.
An effort 10 obtain recess, Senator
Simmons and representative Kitchin
planned today TO see President Wilson.
Simmons wishes to tell the president
that the prohibition question should 20
over and recess be taken to give OPP
portunity for working out some plan
whereby imposition of prohibition will
not seriously interfere with the work

Simmons and Kitchin declare prohi-
bition will cut into revenues serious
ly and will, in addition send many
banks into reeeivcrships, if it is inn
posed too suddenly. In view of the
imminence of a fourth liberty loan,
the embarrassment of banks would be

Gus illness of his son, Joseph, also

join them, but was barred by his
age. Bucks daughter is also seri-

manganese property and this city,
and with the probable addition of
several more in the next week, rs
tons per day of the ore is now being

TICKETS
A. w. Honsinger of Goldfield has

A. w. H~onsinger of Goldfield has
received a letter of thanks for a
''Smileage Book" which he bought
and sent to Camp Lewis. The let
ter emphasizes the good that is to
be done by the Smileage tickets and
similar expressions of gratitude
have come from other soldiers in
the army training camps, where the
hard life of the troops is to be
frightened by entertainments of a
high order, to which the Smileage
tickets will provide admittance. The
letter is as follows:
Camp Lewis, Wash, Feb. 10, 1918.
The Smileage Book you SO kindly
Sent was given to me and / want
to express to you my sincere thanks
for same. l am sure 1t will be the
means of affording me a good many
real smiles, too.
We have a wonderful camp out
here, and the newly-opened Liberty
theater is one of its many features.
1t is every bit as good a show house
as anyone would find in a big city,
and did you eve hear of a movie
house that could boast of a 22-piece
orchestra and a director besides?
That is what we have here and
the music is excellent. They intend
to put on some high-class plays oc-
casionally and they will all "go over
big" The soldier appreciates the
efforts of the entertainer and he is
not at all backward about showing
it, and the applause which is due
the actor-folk who will play at our
theater will surely stun them.
l suppose you know all about our
camp out here. Quite a few Nevada
boys here, too. am from sunny
California and getting my first taste
of what winter is like, but as l rath-
er favor cold weather, am able to
stand it without trouble.
When I return from across ! hope
to have a piece of the kaiser's war
bonnet with me, and 1t won't be a
feather, but one of those steel kind.
Well get him all right.
Again thanking you for the Book
of Smiles, l am yours sincerely,
CHARLIE DAVIS.

CAMP LEWIS IS
HEALTHY PLACE
REPORTS SHOW LOW RATE OF
SICKNESS IN
CAMP

CAMP LEWIS, Wash, Feb. 10. =
Weekly reports prepared by Sap
tain H. R. Mount, M. R. c., acting
division sanitary inspector show the
camp to be in exceptional physical
condition. Summarizing conditions
as compared with other national
army environments in the United
States last week, the report said:
1.-The last report from the surgeon
generals office shows that Camp
Lewis is below the average for all
camps in incidence of disease and
non-effective rate"
There have been no cases Of
cerebro-spinal meningitis, epidemic
form, during the week." continues
the summary. There Is a slight in
crease in the number of cases of
measles reported. All other COM
municable diseases, with the excep-
ton of diphtheria and German meas
les, are fewer in number than last
week."
The total number of communicable
diseases reported during the past
week we're: Measles, 10; German
measles, Z; lobar pneumonia, A;
broncho pneumonia, Q; scarlet fever,
8; mumps, At; diphtheria, 8; deaths,
2. One death was suicidal and one
was due to cerebral hemorrhage.
Since Camp Lewis began receiving
recruits five months ago there have
been but SO deaths from all causes.
During that period over $4,000
men have reported here for military
training. At present the man
strength of the division is 31,132,
the decrease being due to the trans
ferring of men to other divisions
from time to time. Compared with
communities of equal population,
thesefigure s show a death rate far
below normal.
Five months devoted to intense
training along military lines, incI4~
ing physical exercises and the out
door life, regular hours for rest and
plenty of simple, wholesome food,
have proved of the utmost benefit to
the men physically, mentally n
morally. according to medical Off
