terly resented on all sides that such
an announcement should have been
gratitiously made in the same bulletin

peror for "lenient judgment on a gar
rison reduced to shadows. who have
done all that was possible for human

given their blood and lives for their
country. Perhaps. also. the court will
determine why fortress known to be
threatened with n blockade is not sup
piled with necessary food and muni-
tions to enable il to- hold out. Per
haps such court will bring light to

fers to- Gen. Stoessel as a hero, and
emphatically says his surrender will
not tarnish his fame.
