FRANCE is TRYING
TO CLEANSE ARMY
TO RESTRICT CRIMINALS TO
AFRICAN CORPS
Bill Prepared by War Minister Pro-
vides That Imprisonment for
Three Months Bars Service
in the Fatherland

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE French govern
ment has lost no time in framing
bill calculated to purge the army of
the criminal elements in its ranks. At
a meeting of the council of ministers,
the under secretary of state for war, M.
Albert Sarraut, obtained the assent of
the government to the introduction of
proposals which have been drawn up
by General Brun, the minister Of war,
in response to the demand of public
opinion throughout France.
The new bill proposes to revise the
mistaken piece of humanitarian legis-
lation by virtue of which criminal Of
tenders of the ''hooligan" type are sent
to serve in home regiments instead OF
being relegated to some African corps,
in which they would be subjected to
a sterner and more salutary discipline.
The great danger which has aroused
the apprehensions of French parents
is that the army as whole was IN
danger of being contaminated by the
presence in its ranks of offenders
against the common law. The new bill
virtually abrogater the law OF, 1908, and
revives the provisions of the law of
1889 on the recruiting of the Franch
army.
This new measure excludes from the
army not merely offenders against the
common law, but persons condemned
for espionage. 1t provides for the rele-
cation to the African battalions of
offenders against the common law, who
have been condemned to three months
Imprisonment, whereas the law of 1905
had fixed at six months the period re-
duired for such relegation. Two other
important classes of criminals-old Of
tenders and the class of men VINO
would be dealt with under the criminal
law amendment act, are to be sent TO
the African battalions if they have two
or more condemnatioss standing
against their names, however insignifi-
cant those condemnations may be.
One of the main objects of the new
bill is to expel these men rigrously from
the army. The slightest condemnatios
for this special form of vagabondage,
as it is technically called, will entail
the relegation of the offender to an
African battalion. In order to be al
lowed to return to France, offenders
of this class must either have per-
formed some special act of courage or
be able to show years record OF
good conduct in an African regiment
The minister of war, however, pre-
serves the perrogative of exemptine
from the provisions of the law such
offenders against the common law as
have good conduct marks between the
date of their release from prison and
their incorporation in the army.

THINKS MAN IN HOSPITAL
is FATHER HE NEVER SAW
Louis Hole Calls at Hospital to See
Patient Booked Under
Same Name

NEW YORK, Feb 17.-Under the
impression that dying patient in the
Newark, N. J., City hospital was his
Gather, though he had never seen him,
louis Hole called at the institution.
The patient was also Louis Hole, ac-
cording to the name he gave when
brought into the hospital. He had been
found in the streets and told the sur
geons he had taken rat poison with sui
cidal intent. At first he said he was
from Holmesburg, Pa, but later he
claimed a residence at 418 Morris ave-
nue., Newark.
Young HOLE said his father had been
separated from his mother from the
time the son was born, twenty-five
years ago. News of the wanderings of
his father had reached him and his
mother, the young man said, and they
had learned that his father had been
for several months last year in a Bal
timore hospital. But there had never
been any attempt at a reconciliation.
The belief that the would-be suicide
was his father was based upon the ad-
dress the dying man had given, which
is that of his wife, The patient was
not in condition to recognize his Wis
itor, and the reunion sought by the
yiunger Hole may never take place.

fAssociated Pressl

GONDOKORO, Soudan on the Upper
Nile. Feb. 17.-Colonel Roosevelt, ker-
init Roosevelt and the other members
of the Smithsonian African scientific
expedition arrived here today. All are
well.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the
other hunters and scientists consul
tuting the expedition sent out by the
Smithsonian institution a Washington
have passed through the most trying
stage of their African journey and
from now on will be in close touch
with the outside world.
For the last ten days they have been
practically isolated in a Wilderness
where the only communication between
the scattered villages was through
native runners.
At Gondokoro a brick house mas
been placed at the disposal of Mr.
Roosevelt. In the town there are a
few shops belonging to Greeks and
Indians. and a few traders make their
Headquarters there. The steamboats,
owned by the Soudan government call
once a month for passengers and the
mails for Khartoum.
To Embark Today
The American party will embark in
the Sirdar's launch probably tomor-
row and proceed down the Nile to
Khartoum, where they are due about
March 6.
Three days will be spent at Khar-
toum. when the trip to Cairo will be
begun. Mrs. Roosevelt is expected to
meet her husband and son at Khar-
toum.
The entrance into Gondokoro Of the
Americans was rudely picturesque, re-
plete with British and native hospi-
tality. The approach of the expedi-
tion was heralded by bugle blasts by
Chief Keribaq's bugle band, which led
the van.
The Keribaq accompanied his mu-
sicians. The native party had met the
expedition sixteen miles to the south.
Reaching the town the band struck
up America" which happening to be
also the British national air, suited
the occasion exactly.
Belgian marches were interspersed
Following the musicians a native por-
ter carried a large American flag.
Waiting on the Bar-el-Jabel was the
launch OF General Sir Reginald VIM
gate, Sirdar of the Egyptian army
and from the vessel was flying the
stars and stripes. Mr.. Roosevelt
boarded the launch at once.
