AMERICAN DESERTER
SENTENCED TO DEATH
Soldier of German Birth, Convicted in
Panama, Likely to Get Off with
Imprisonment

Washington, Nov. 26.-While the death
penalty has been imposed on an enlisted
man of the American army, who is OF
German birth, on his conviction of deser-
ton, it was indicated Saturday at the
war department that the findings of the
court martial would be overruled and
sentence committed to long term of i'm
prisonment.
The soldier was stationed at Panama,
and there appears to be little doubt that
after his desertion he endeavored to
make his way to Germany, presumably
for military service there. He was
charged after his apprehension, however,
only with desertion, and the question of
his intention to join the enemy forces
was not developed at his trial.
II has not been the custom in any
army. even in time of war, to impose
the death penalty for desertion unless
the act was in the face of the enemy or
unless there was evidence TO show that
the purpose of the offender was more
than merely an attempt TO evade mill
tary service. The view of the court mar
tial which tried the soldier in question
evidently was that there was intent to
join the enemy, but as that was not
made clear in the trial proceedings, the
commanding officer of the Panama gar
rison recommended the court be over
ruled. and that term of Imprisonment
be substituted.
While there is reason TO believe that
officials here concur in the views of the
commander at Panama it is plainly evil
dent at the war department that there
is no inclination to show mercy to men
who desert in the face of the enemy or
to enemy aliens found in the ranks as
spies.

Women Railway Workers.

Along with all their other troubles the
railroads have to face the problem that
comes with the departure of many OF
their workers, high and low, into active
service. For example, the New Haven
company lost sos men, who left its serv-
ice voluntarily to enter the army or
navy, and several hundred Others of its
employees have been enrolled in the ranks
of the national army From this railroad
company alone two companies-~E and f
of the 18th regiment of engineers-were
formed and those two companies, $50
strong, are now in France.
To help the situation somewhat the
New Haven has raised the age limit of
men in it's operating department, but
as more immediate help it is turning
to the employment of women. OF course,
it has always had many women employed
in clerical. work in its offices, but now
it is employing them in increasingly large
numbers in many of the lighter forms
of actual railway work, both inside and
out At many points on the line there
are women station agents, telegraph OPP
orators and ticket agents taking the
places of men now in uniform. The two
women whom it employed in June at
Mansfield as crossing tenders, perhaps
the first in the state, were the first of
many now SO employed along its line.
AT the New Haven shops women are now
sorting, storing and assembling supplies
and materials where only men were
working a few months ago At the
South station and at the office buildings
Of the company women have replaced
men as elevator operators.
Moreover, the company has recently
opened a school at the South station |
where telegraphy, ticket and freight ac-
and so forth are taught free |
o young women who desire to enter the |
Employ of the company. This school is
illed to its capacity, with a long waiting
ist. Presumably the situation is much
he same with other large railway sys-

ing magnificent structures, fully the
equal of any that are going up elsewhere
in the world Doubtless many of these
countries possess valuable deposits of
marble and stone, but there has been lit
tie development work done as yet. 1t
will be years before the structural and
decorative materials can come upon the
market, owing to the lack of transporta-
ton facilities. In the mean time the
South American builders and architects
must draw their supplies from the quar-
ries of Europe and the United States.
This country is signally blest with
structural and decorative stones of the
greatest value and beauty. The war has
shown us that we can become virtually
independent of the European quarries.
Now it would pay lis to give a little
more attention to the South American
market From Stone.
