Is elated for even more responsible

BUENOS AIRES, April 20. With
an airtight Brazilian news censorship
in evidence today, Uraguayan reports
declared that the German revolt In
Brazil is steadily growing to large
proportions. Refugees are pouring
into Uraguay and assert that serious
fighting is going on between the gov

mans. It is stated that th. situation
Is critical In at least three provinces.
The Uraguayan government has
hurried troops to the frontier to pre

the minister of war. as denying that
Brazil would send a commission to

FORMER U. S. SAILOR TRUDGES
75 MILES TO ENLIST, WHEN
HE HEARS NEWS OF HOSTILI
TIES THIS WEEK.
Until a few days ago there was
one man in the state of Oregon who
did not know that war between the
United States and Germany had been
declared. Now he is on his way to
San Francisco to join the navy.
The man Is B. S. Bothwell, a home
steader living 25 miles from La Pino
Lack ot means ot communication had
practically isolated him from the
outside world until early this week,
when a man who chanced to stop at
his cabin told him that the United
States is at war.
Hastily slipping on his snowshoes,
Bothwell trudged the 25 miles to
La Pino and found that he would
have to come to Bond as the nearest
ro-enllstlng point. At once he start
ed back to his cabin, put things in
shape tor a protracted absence, took
the trail to La Pino, and made his
way to Bond by the first stage.
Other recent recruits who have
left for training camps, are E. J.
Wray and Edwin V. Garber, of Bend,
who enlisted In tho navy, and Noah
C. Bays, of Bend, who has gone to
join the aviation corps.

Wilson Openly Opposes Scheme Ac
tion on Spy and Censorship Mnatt

Work on Conscription.
(By United Proa to the Bend Bulletin)
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 20.
Despite all the administration's at
tempts at annihilation, the Rosevelt
volunteer division Idea is holding Ita
own. It constitutes today, tbe most
formidable obstacle in the path ot
conscription.
Although it was seml-offlclally
stated that the War Department
would prevent the formation ot a
Roosevelt division, betting favored
the idea that the ex-president would
get into the trenches with his volun
teers weeks before the first Amer
ican conscription division is under
shrapnel fire. The President admits
that he is strongly opposed to the
volunteer division plan.
Because of the possibility that op
position to the administration's spy
and censorship bills might block all
other war legislation, leaders In the
Senate today suddenly switched their
plans and announced that considera
tion of the Wilson elective conscrip
tive measure will be shoved ahead
of everything.
The espionage legislation is the
most drastic ever proposed, and eas
ily held the spotlight in today's ses
sion of Congress. The Senate entered
on its thir day ot bitter debate, in
fluential members of the upper house
heatedly attacking the bill.
The government will not wait tho
60 days usually required to put such
a war, loan measure into pperation.
As soon as the House passes the bill,
treasury certificates are to be Issued
immediately, so that a flow of gold
to finance the war can begin, Secre
tary of the Treasury McAdoo an
