Mr. Heflin had written to the president, saying some of his recent utterances on the war apparently had Hudson Maxim, Inventor, Says It Practical for Every Type of Vessel. New York, May 22—Hudson Maxim announced today that he had invented and perfected a device whichwill make ships immune from the dangers of the submarine. He said that torpedoes, striking their targets, would explode harmlessly against the hull of their intended victims. ‘The inventor made the announce- ment at a luncheon given in Brooklyn. He asserted that the invention soon will be demonstrated by the govern- ment, which already had been advised of the details. “The invention Is practical for every type of veseel” he sald. ‘Tt can be applied within' a few months at a comparatively cheap price to the hulls of ships already constructed. The only change necessary in vessels al- ready built will be a_slight enlarge- ment in their beam. My device is of solid material and encircles the entire huil of the ship from the bow to the stern.

Washington, May 22.—Decision of house republicans in caucus todah to ODPpose any newspaper censorship pro- vision in “the pending espionage bill was followed by a letter from Presi- dent Wilson to Chairman Webb, of the judictary gommittee reiterating that it was imperative that congress grant censorship to observe “a patriotic re- ticence about everything whose pub- lication could be of injury.” Censorship Absolutely Necessary. “T have been very much surprised.” wrote the president, “to find several of the public prints stating that the ad- ministration had abandoned the po- sition which it so distinctly took, and still_holds, that authority to exercise censorship over the press to the ex- tent that that censorship is embodied in the recent action of the house of representatives is absolutely neces- sarv to the public safety. | It. of course, has not heen abandoned, be- cause the reasons still exist why such authority is necessary for the protec- tion of the nation. Confidence in Majority of Papers. ‘T have every confidence that the &reat majority ‘of the newspapers of the country will observe a patriotic re- ticence about everything whose pub- lication could be of injury, but in ev— ery country there are some persons in a pésition to do mischief in this fleld Who cannot be relied upon and whose interests or desires will lead to ac- tions on their part highly dangerous to the nation in the midst of a war. T want to say again that it seems to me imperative that powers of this sort should be granted” . The house espionage bill carried a censorship provision, but the one by the senate did not and this was one of the differences which sent the measure to conference where it has been dis- cussed for more than a week without an agreement. President's Letter Caused Surprise. The president’s letter cansed some surprise becouse many members of gongress ard some adminjstration lead- :5 had “understood for several days that no further attempt was to be made at present to put through any such provision. Sentiment In the sen- ate is stronz against censorship and unless the conferees agree upon a very mild form. it probably will not be ac- cepted thare. Reprysentative Webb announced up- on receipt of the president's letter that he would wage a determined fight in behalf of the censorship amendment, written into the bill in the house by a narrow marein, just before it was sent to conference.
