HOW Al IITTIlE GIRL SECURED
THEIR FREEDOM FROM GEN

jacksonville, Fla, July 11.-A pleas
ant little story is going the rounds as
to how the prisoners in camp confined
under field court-martial sentences OBJ
tanned freedom on July 4.
Little Gertrude Hammett, the pretty
7-year-old daughter of a citizen here,
while playing at home on Sunday
morning, said to her mother: Il am
so happy now that 1 wish all my sol
dier boys to be happy too. I am sorry
to see them shut up. The tents are hot
and stuffy and I want them out"
"Why not 90 and see General Lee?"
said her mother with a smile, to quiet
her.
The little girl jumped up highly
elated.
"I will see him at once" she said.
To please the child her mother drove
her to the Windsor Hotel. She went
alone to see General Lee.
General Lee" said she, with some
bashfulness, 81 want to get my soldier
boys out of the guard houses. They
don't like it these hot days, and I'm
sure they will be good if you let them
out for a Fourth Of July present. 1 am
so happy, too"
The general was so pleased with the
little girls earnestness that he sent
her to General Arnold with a note. The
latter thanked the little girl for her in
terest in the soldiers, and at once is
sued an order that was read that al
ternOon at parade releasing all SOL
diers confined for court-martial SEN
tencee. The soldiers were pleased at
this, and during the Fourth they paid
their little friend many compliments.
Whenever she appears in camp they
cheer and call her the daughter Of the
division" She takes it all for grant
ed, and when in camp lords it over
the soldier boys with a pretty air thai
makes all Of them her slaves.
