Btrongly Protest With Effect—
Many Other Protests Are Made to
Different Sections.
Washington. Opponents of the
Ways and Means Commltee's proposal
to greatly Increase postal rates on
newspapers and magazines showed
such a strength during debate on the
war tax bill that It appeared likely
the postal section of the measure
would be one of the few to be mater;
ially modified before passage.
The attack brought the first defec
tion from the ranks of the committee
Itself, which had approved the bill un
animously and whose members of both
parties have consistently urged Its
passage unamended. Just before ad
journment Representative Sloan, a Re
publican committeeman, told the
House that while he would stand be
hind every other , provision in the
measure, he could not support a pos
tal Increase amounting to "a punitive
expedition against newspapers and
magazines."
Representatives Madden, of Illinois
and McCormlck, of Illinois; Meeker,
of Missorul, Republicans, and Moon,
of Tennessee, Democrat and chairman
of the postal committee, joined in the
attack, which proceeded while a large
delegation of publishers was telling
the Senate Finance Committee that
enactment would force many publica
tions out of business.
Debate Near Close.
General debate hi the House closed
at 4 o'clock Tuesday and the bill prob
ably will be brought to a final vote be
fore the end of the week. The com
mittee hopes to put through most of
its proposals without Important
amendment for the opposition has
scattered Its fire against many Indi
vidual sections and has developed *
concerted attack on only a few of
them. When the measure goes over
to the Senate, however, many change!
are expected.
Representative Longworth, Repub
lican, made a long defense of the bill
for the committee, reiterating that
while there were some Inequalities,
passage was necessary to give the
needed war revenue. He declared 95
per cent of the taxes proposed would
fall upon the wealthy or those of
moderate means.
Representative Meeker predicted
that enactment of the proposed postal
increases would mean the end of Nar
tlonal circulation for dally papers and
Representative Madden attacked the
new rate schedule as "the most unjust
tax ever imposed by a Government.''
Chairman Moon presented two amend
ments to cut down the proposed rate*.
Representative McCormlck suggest
ed that the whole schedule should be
re written so that the levies would JfH
on publications in proportion to their
Incomes.
Representative McMormlck also
criticised the income tax section of
the Mil and declared the proposed ex
cess profits taxes were oppressive and
unjust. He predicted that the measure
as a whole would work Immeasurable
harm to industry.
Senate Hearing.
Spokesmen for newspapers and pe
riodicals, large and small, and from
all parts of the country appeared be
fore the Senate Finance Committee
lo attack as unreasonable and confis
catory the war revenue bill provision
which would create a tone system
with greatly increased rates ftor sec
ond class mall matter. They declared
tt the measure went Into effect, many
publications would be compelled to
suspend, r
Don C. Seiti, of The New York
World, representing the American
Newspaper Publishers' Association,
•aid the proposed increase was not a
war tax "but an effort to further re
press and embarrass the newspaper
Industry." He told the committee
there already had been a big slump
In business which, if It continued,
would paralyze the newspapers. The
1 publishers, he added, were not seek
; Ing special favors, but wanted to be
placed on the same level with people
I engaged hi other business.
I Arthur Dunn, speaking for the
smaller newspapers of the country,
said tbey could not stand the increase
j in postal rates with the Increased cost
■ of print paper, and that many wouM
I be compelled to go out of business if
the bill was enacted.

New Camp Soon.
Now York —The tull quota of 40,000
men, which the War Department re
quested tor the officers' training camps
throughout the country, was recruited
within twenty days after the issuance
of the call, Ca.pt. Arthur F. Cosby, oi
the Military Training Camps Assoclar
Uon, announced here.
After the completion of the first
camps, which began their work
Tuesday, Captain Cosby said It is ex
pected another series of camps will
be held, probably in August.
"Men who were eligible but were ;
not selected for the first camp will 1
have an opportunity to make applica
tion for this' new camp," said Captain
Oosby. "It Is not necessary for men
who contemplate going to the second
camp to send in their applications
now, as due announcement will be
given in the newspapers.
"We will urge the War Department
to announce at as early a date as pos
sible the date of the opening of the
next camp, so as to allow ample time
to conduct the preliminary recruiting
and examination In a more satisfac
tory manner than the recent emer
gency campaign.
"We shall urge more strongly that
with a three months' notice and prep
aration, the merits of each Individual
applicant may be passed on more sat
isfactorily and the Army authorities
themselves will be better able to se
lect th« succesful candidates and give
them a reasonable notice In order that
they may wind up tnelr affairs pre
paratory to entering Into active ser
vice."
CENSORSHIP MEABURE
DEFEATED IN BENATE
By Margin of One Censorship Clause
Is Thrown Out.
Washington.—The flret legislative
step toward conservation of the na
tion's food resources and a long ad
vance toward an absolutely dry Uni
ted States was taken by the senate
In approving, 38 to 32, an amendment
to the administration espionage bill
forbidding during the war the use of
1 cereals or grain In the manufacture of
intoxicating liquor.
By a majority of one vote, the Sen
ate also threw out of the bill the ad
ministration's press censorship a«to-
Uon and then voted overwhelmingly
not to put In a modified section as
was dons In the house This action
Is expected to throw the censorship
fight into conference, where the ln
-1 finance of the administration can be
! brought to bsar more directly. What
will ba the outcome no Senator would
predict with confidence.
Tba prohibition amendment was
adopted under a rule limiting debate
aharply, and there were only brief
speechs on eac h«lde Just before
the aenate had voted down 47 to 25, a
piupossl to forbid sal eof intoxicants
daring the war
Effective September 1 the amend-'
ment Is calculated to conflna sale and
consumption to whiskey and other
grain liquors already In stock and to
wines, brandies or other drings that
depend upon other materials for main
constituents Another opportunity to
! vote upon it will be offered when the
I senate takes the bill with the amend
ment from the committee of the whole
but opponents of the prohibitory pro
vision are not confident that they will
be able to overturn the action
Elimination of the press censorship
section ended a long and bitter fight.
The vote was 39 to 38. Opportunity
will come also for another vote on
this section
The prohibition amendment was pro
posed by Senator Cummins, Republl
can, of IOWA* *
The success of President
rtecept program lends support to
the theory that these pickets in
front of the White Bouse are mas
