" D. HNNI JOONE ONGhNOLES
ACTION OF WILSON
BY Gibson Gardner.
Washington, D. c., March 6.-The
Judge advocate general of the U. S.
army has overruled the president of
the United States in the case of Pri-
vate Clarence L. George. When this
soldier was pardoned it was announc-
ed from the White House that the
memorandum signed by the president
read: 'Pardoned with pay" The in
structions which went to the War
Department from the president call
ed for the repayment to Private
George of the pay and allowances
which we're confiscated as a result of
his court martial. Now the president
has been informed that this is i'm
possible The judge advocate general
has rendered an opinion that the
president of the United States him
self is unable to undo an injustice
which has been done. Money which
Private George should have received
in pay and allowances has been turn
ed back in the treasury OF the united
States and nothing short of an act
of Congress can get that money for
ex-Private George.
The only hope George has is in
special act of Congress, and nobody
ever heard of a poor man who ever
got a special act through Congress.
In the meantime, George is stranded
in Charlottesville, Va, equipped with
an expert knowledge of telegraphy,
but, owing to the injustice of the
army system, turned out penniless
and without even the army clothes
which were confiscated when he was
sent to Leavenwerth for writing a
letter to Secretary to the President
Tumulty complaining of treatment
he had received in the army.
