PRIVATE In AMERICAN ARMY

TION.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Sentence
OF death before a rifle squad has been
imposed by court martial upon an
enlisted man Of the American army
IN the United States on his convic-
ton Of desertion with intent to join
the enemy forces. 1t was learned to-
day at the war department, however,
that officials here are not satisfied
with the evidence adduced before the
court that intent to join the enemy
was established and the trial court
has been asked for additional infor-
nation to clear up this point.
The soldier in question is OF either
German birth or descent. II is under
stood, although the details OF the
case, including the name of the pris-
oner are withheld.
The sentence of the court martial
will not be executed until approval
from Washington has been received,
because the desertion was not In the
lace OF the enemy.

CHANGE CHARTERS
GUARANTY LAW WINS MANY
FRIENDS AFTER PRACTICAL
WORKING TEST.

Pierre, Nov. 36-Bankers fought
the bank guaranty act a long time In
this state, and when II went into eff
feet, several state banks changed
their charters to national banks, to
get out from under the guaranty pro-
visions. But now that the law has
had q practical working test, the
changes are going the other way. A
few days ago the First National bank
Of South Shore changed its charter
from q national to q state bank, un-
der the new title of the South Shore
bank. The First National Bank of
Henry has also changed its charter
to that OF a state bank under the
name OF the State Bank OF Henry.
The Lamro State bank has increased
its capital from $4,000 to $4,000.

DO GREAT WORK
Drove Entering Wedge for Smash
of Hindenburg Line.
Mighty Engines Of Destruction used
by British Prove Striking Fea.
lure Of War;.

British Army Headquarters In
France. Nov. 26.-(By the Associated
Press.)-Many soldiers formerly of
the opinion that the British tanks
were freaks of little value as instru-
ments of war have changed that opin-
ion on account of the achievement OF
the great army OF these mighty en-
gines, which broke through the main
Hindenburg line.
The work which the tanks did on
that first day and have been doing
ever since is one of the most striking
features Of the war. 1t cannot be said
they are alone responsible for the ire
mendous victory won by the British
for infantry, artillery and cavalry all
have played their part. Nevertheless
the tanks drove the entering wedge
without which the triumph probably
would have been impossible.
In a few hours they tore to shreds
lines of barbed wire. the demolition OF
which by a concentration of artillery
would have required many days. Fur
ihermore, their employment made pos
sible the arrangement of the secret at
tack which would hav been out of the
question had the artillery been brought
into play.
Tanks Save Infantry.
The tanks have demonstrated fully
their power in saving the lives of men
and in conserving ammunition. The
casualties among the infantry which
followed the tanks into action were ex-
ceedingly light. The correspondent has
heard that tive battalions, for instance.
bad only one casualty each and that
another suffered the loss of only three
men. This is amost unprecedented In
an attack of such magnitude.
The advance of the tanks with their
general leading the way in a monitor
flying hts fagSwas the most impressive
sight imaginable. For miles they were
lined up all along the British front and
when they started forward 1t was like
a great ceremonial parade. Back oil
them came the infantry giving the
final touch to the picture.
