AMERICAN SOLDIER SHOT BY
FIRING SQUAD.

Washington, Nov. 18.-An
American soldier of General
Pershing's forces, found guilty by
court-martial Of the rape and muir.
der of French woman, has been
executed by firing squad.
All details of this. the first
death penalty imposed since the
troops landed in Europe, are be-
ing withheld by the war depart
ment.
When a full report has been re-
ceived from General Pershing it
probably will be published, as Of
ficers of the department. want the
world to know how the American
army deals with men who commit
such crimes. Secretary Baker
said Saturday that General PERISH
ing had full power to carry out
the sentence of the CONTINENTAL

New Iberia, La:
Dear Comrade-I am pleased
to see that your Camp is paid up
in full to December 31st, 1917 in
the State Division, and also in
General Mickle's office for TWEEN.
Ity-five members. I cannot under
stand why any Confederate Vet
cram of good record near you
would fail to become a member,
and pay the small annual dues
which Your Camp has. which I
understand is only Sixty Cents
per year.
Your bivouac meeting last year
must have been enjoyable, and /
think is a worthy feature for
other Camps to pattern after. The
pleasure of old memories revived.
and the companionship of the
Comrades who gather together,
should certainly make the event
remembered and appreciated.
The comrades must take an in
terest, if they want to get the
pension increased to $500 per
month by bonding the one-mi.l
tax, as | have proposed. | can d.
no more than. propose. the Vet
Grams must themselves do the bal
ance by appealing to their legis-
lators.
Comradeship should keep every
Camp alive, as long as two remain
to meet and bid each other a God
bless you.
With regards to you and the
Comrades of Your Camp, l am

KNIT GOODS FOR SOLDIERS.

Despite contradictory reports
which have been in circulation.
the knitting of sweaters, mitts
and other comfort articles for sol
diers is encouraged by the War
Department. The State Council
of Defense is enabled to make
this reassuring announcement o.
official authority to all mothers,
wives, sweethearts and friends OF
men in the service.
No attention should be paid to
rumors to the effect that knitted
goods are not acceptable and that
army men are not permitted to
receive them. There is only one
caution issued to the patriotic
women who are producing this
warm apparel: Don't use gaudy
yarns. All such articles should
be knitted in neutral colors, 9th
erwise the soldiers will not be al
lowed to use them. The reason
for this ruling is plain. Bright
colors render soldiers conspicuous
and expose them unnecessarily to
the enemy's fire.
1t is much preferred by the
War Department that knitted
goods be given to the Red Cross
for distribution as that organiza-
ton knows exactly where there is
most need of them. The Depart
ment, however, does not deny
anyone the right to donate such
goods to individuals or to regl-
mental units. 4
