Austrian Losses Less.
Venice. Nov 5-The Vienna Neue
Freie Presse publishes the following
statement from it's correspondent at
the Austrian army headquarters:
'Our losses are much lessened in
fixed battles and storming assaults.
Attacks made between August - and
September 10 required much greater
sacrifices than has the fighting since
then, the later engagements having
been fought from protected positions. .
Vast numbers of wounded soldiers
now are arriving in Vienna daily from
the front and If the early losses were
much greater than the present they
must have been tremendous.

WILSON'S ACTION CARRIES MAN
BACK TO MOTHER AND SISTERS
BY ellison Gardner.
Washington, Feb. IA little boy
with a blue cap rushed into the Of
flee of your correspondent and laid
the following telegram on our desk:
THANK you. God bless you. Am
innocent. En- route to Washington.
c. L. George"
This is the closing incident in that
little story of Private Clarence L.
George, who was last fall sentenced
to a year in the penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, with dishonorable dis
charge and the forfeiture of all pay
and allowances, for writing a letter
to Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to
the president, complaining of the
treatment he had received at the
hands Of his superior officers.
The publicity given the case in
these dispatches forced the War De:
partment to furnish a full record of
the trial by court martial of Clar--
ence George, and this record showed
that fragrant injustice had been
done to this telegraph operator who
had enlisted in the signal corps.
Whether it was personal spite or the
ordinary workings of a vicious mill
tary system, the fact was apparent
on the record that there were no
grounds for inf1icting on this soldier
man any such punishment for the,
trifing offense Of which he was
charged it could be called an Of
Tense. r.
AS soon as Mr.. Tumulty got look
at the record he decided to put the
matter up to the president and the
latter, without any hesitation, order
ed George pardoned with restoration
of all pay and allowances.
George is Virginia boy. whose
father was a Confederate veteran and

WANT eENToN's BODY.

The American government today was
exerting all It's influence to obtain from
General Villa the Mexical rebel leader,
the surrender of the body Of William
S. Ben .on, the British subject, recently
executed at Juarez.
No reply had been received to the
instruct ons sent to Consul Letcher
yesterday to find Benton's grave and
Secretary Bryan was surprised by news
dispatches quoting Villa as saying
Benton was buried in chihuahua City.
There also have been persistent reports
here that the body was cremated.
Secretary Bryan conferred with
President Wilson and said nothing new
in the situation had developed. Off,
cial denial came from the White House
of one published report that Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher had recommended the
landing of marines at Vera Cruz.
Attention was chiefly centered on
the Benton investigation and high off,
cials conceded that future development
of the American policy toward Mexico
hinged largely on the outcome of the
inquiry.
Another feature of the situation
which was Of commanding Importance
was the fact that the Benton incident
promises TO develop into test of Gen
eral Carranza's authority and influence
as chief CT the Constitutionaiist move
nent. Every sort of pressure, il is
tSaderstood, is being brought to bear on
