master General.

Washington. April 10.-A formal
movement to abolish Postmaster
General Burleson's power over the
nations press was launched in con-
gress yesterday.
Senator Borah of Idaho proposed
an amendment to the pending sedi-
tion bill repeating the sections OF the
espionage act empowering the post
master general to deny use of the
mails to newspapers and magazines.
These sections have been In force
since last June and have resulted in
practical suppression of numerous
publications charged with giving aid
and comfort to the enemy.
The amendment met with prompt
Endorsement from senators and repre-
sentatives who have contended for
free speech and press since the out

WOULD STRENGTHEN
THE ESPIONAGE LAW

Washington. April 9.-Petitions
for amendment of the Espionage law
on lines urged by the American De-
fense society to make it more efGec-
tive, have been presented to the Sem
ate on behalf of thousands OF persons
in Idaho, by Senator William e. .Bor-
ah, and have been referred to the Ju-
dietary committee for consideration
in connection with the proposed
amendment. Among the signers
were many OF the leading citizens OF
the state, in which the proposed
amendment seems generally to be en-
dorsed.
Designed to strengthen Title l, Sec
tion 3, of the Espionage Act of June
Is, 1917. the amendment would add
the provision:
''or shall publish or utter
statements tending to promote
the success OF the enemies of
the United States, or to create
disloyalty or refusal OF duty on
the part OF any person In connec-
tion with the war"
AS 1t stands at present. this sec
tion covers only the originating or
spreading of false reports, incitation
or characterization or obstruction Of
recruiting of the land and sea forces
of the country. and the American De-
tense society feels that 1t should be
made more far-reaching and effective.
That this view is shared by loyal
citizens in all parts OF the land IL
shown by the almost unanimous en-
dorsement OF all the states. Petitions
circulated by the American Defense
society have been signed by literally
millions of persons and the petitions
are presented to the senate through
the senior senator from each com,
monwealth.
One OF the great ends 10 be attain
ed by the adoption of this amendment
will be curtaiIment OF pro-Germar
and anti-American propaganda In thc
United States, both Of which hnei
have followed by the Germans anC
their sympathizers IN this country u
a really dangerous extent. Even tn
White House itself has not been spar
ed in this enemy propaganda. repOrtl

apprehended for disloyalty or som
other offense; and when such q loyal
patriotic and devoted member OF tn
presidents own officIal household ]
attacked the extent 70 which snem
propaganda is carried may be full
realized.
Through the gradual awakening Q
the American people to the danger
of such enemy propaganda it has bee
somewhat repressed. and the "soar

GEN. HODGES CONFIDENT.

Utmost confidence in the ability of our
Allies to withstand any attack that
might be brought against them, was
expressed Wednesday night by Major
General Harry F. Hodges, who resumed
command of Camp Devens, Wednesday,
after visit to the battlefront in France
and Belgium. In statement General
Hodges said:
"My tour of observation of the western
front was most interesting and instruc-
tive. l spent ten days at the British front
and like period at the French front, in
two important sectors, where every ia
ciIlty was given me to study everything.
While do not feel at liberty to speak in
detail of what saw, will say that as
result of my observation l have the ut
most confidence in the ability of our
allies to withstand any attack that may
be brought against them. From my as
ISOLATION with both British and French
officers, know that they share the same
confidence
II also made short visit to the Ameri-
can headquarters and training area, where
those of our troops whom saw appeared
to be in excellent condition in every re-
gard.
II am glad to be back with my own
division and hope the conditions may
be such as to permit us to complete our
organization and training at the earliest
possible moment"

or the first time members of both
part les has been taken into the White
House councils in the considerable of
war legislation and in this way the adj
ulnStration expects to smooth out some
the difficulties which confront the
war program.
The pending bill to empower the Presi-
cent to consolidate executive department
iunctions and re-distribute work among
hem, now openly opposed by the Repub-
Leans, will be one of the first subjects to
come up. Some of the Democrats do
not favor it. The bill, however, is the
administrations counter-proposal to the
Senate military committee bills to create
a super-war cabinet and a director of
munitions. The President is represented
as being unalterably opposed to the COM
mttee plan.
The purpose of the conferences is to
arrive at some compromise on this sub
iect first, but there is every indication
that they will be carried on throughout
The war.
The Presidents move is regarded as
the first step toward taking members of
both parties more into his confidence and
toward calling the Republicans actively
INTO the war councils.

! ashore on another island with gang
to get water, took Ashton with him.
The young man helped fill the water
casks, but at the first opportunity
slipped into the bush. Tn pirates
searched for him in vain.
For five days the young American
sat at the edge of the woods and
Watched the island of the pirates. On
the fifth day their ship sailed away
and he felt safe, even though alone on
a desert island.
Clad only in IAN Osnaburg frock
and trousers, milled cap, but neither
shirt, shoes, stockings nor anything
else" the youth lived alone nine
months on this island. He found it to
be "well-watered, with high hills and
deep Valleys" in which We're many
fruit trees. He lived on figs, coco
nuts and ian orange, oval-shaped, of
brownish color without, and red with
in"
There were wild pigs on the island,
and turtles on the beach, but he had
no knife or weapon, and no means Of
making fire for cooking meat.
One day the young Crusoe saw
small canoe approaching the island.
AS it grounded on the beach, a man
stepped out of it. He proved to be
native of North Britain, well advanced
in years, of a grave and venerable as
pect," who had ''lived for years with
the Spaniards,v but had fed from them
when prosecuted.
For three days the Scot lived on
the island with the lad. Then he
started for another island, to "kill wild
hogs" Ashton was too weak to 60
with him. A storm came up, and Ash
ton never saw him again.
But the youth now had knife and
a flint, and life to him became endur-
able. He roasted the delicate flesh Of
the tortoise, and regained strength on
the diet it afforded.
Three months passed. Then the
young sailor, wandering on the beach,
found the old mans canoe stranded.
In this he left the island, and reached
another; but being chased away by
buccaneers he kept on, finally reach
ing the island of Roatan.
Here he lived alone seven months
more, being finally Joined by party
of Englishmen, refugees from the
main. The party was attacked by pi-
rates, but Ashton and companion
escaped in a small boat, and succeed
ing in finding an English vessel among
the islands Of Honduras gulf.
Transferred finally to Yankee
ship, Ashton reached home in 1925,
having been absent two years, ten
months and fifteen days.
He soon went to sea again.
The Republican journal., 1918-02-21

The lure of service in the Merchant
Marine was never stronger than now,
and it is noticed by officials that many
of the candidates for places aboard
ship are members of former sea-going
families.
Among the many young Americans
now applying to the United States ship
ping boards recruiting service >for
training as deck officers, there appear
ed the other day one named Ashton,
who was accepted and placed in navi-
cation school.
He said the dangers of the subma-
rine zone had no terrors for him that
he came of family of mariners who
in earlier times had faced many dan
gers from wars, pirates and at sea and
were ever ready to sail again.
To prove his statement the candidate
produced a book detailing the adven-
lures of one of his ancestors, who was
seized by pirates, escaped from them,
and lived nearly two years like Robin
son Crusoe on desert island, but new
er regretted that he chose the life Of
a sailor.
This was Phillip Ashton of Marble
head, whose adventures were so extra
ordinary that Pastor John Barnard
made the young mans safe return
home the subject of a sermon, from
the text, eff it be so, our God whom
we serve is able to deliver us from the
burning, fiery furnace, and he will de-
liver us out Of thy hands, o King"
Phillip Ashton commanded fishing
schooner, with a crew of four men and
q boy, and when harboring for Sunday
near Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, he was
seized by one Ned Low, pirate, who
also took dozen other peaceful fishing
craft.
Putting his prisoners aboard his own
ship, to be sent to Boston, Low trans
ferred his crew to Marblehead
schooner, and started anew. Ashton
was pressed into his service, at the
point of pistol.
The pirates ranged the seas east
ward, and off the Azores captured a
large Portuguese pink. In this, with
the schooner in company, they sailed
to 'the Triangles, about forty leagues
to the eastward of Surinam." Here
they lost the pink, which filled and
sank while being careened for clean
ing.
Resuming their cruise in the schoon-
err, they took several prizes in the
West Indies. They then proceeded to
the Gulf of Honduras. where they land
ed on an island, built huts and pro-
ceeded to spend their time in carousal.
Ashton had been ever watchful for
a chance to escape, and here one pre-
scented itself. The cooper being sent
