Tells War Department Letter WAS
Never Intended for Publication.


The War Department has received the
explanation from Capt. Carl Reichmann.
Seventeenth Infantry which he was called
upon TO make as result of the publica-
ton in New York newspapers of a letter
written by him in which he states he has
been kept off the army general staff be-
cause Of his German birth. Capt. Reich
mann declares his letter was intended to
be of a strictly private character and
never, consequently, intended for publ
cation. lie never authorized its publica-
ton. and greatly regretted its appearance
in the puolic press.
At the War Department the explanation
of Capt Reichmann is regarded as SUI
ficient, and he will not be tried by court
martial. 1t is extremely probable, how
ever that he will be written an admon-
itOry letter.
