WATERV|LLE MAN IS
REFUSED ARMY RELEASE

Boston, Oct. 1s.-Petitions in habeas
corpus proceedings filed by two men
who sought to obtain release from the
army on rather novel grounds were
dismissed by Judge Morton of the
United States district court today.
Carl A. Blackington, a lawyer of Wa
terville, a private in the First Maine
Heavy Artillery. now in camp at West
field, enlisted in the National Guard
in June and was accepted, notwjth-
standing that he was under the resu-
lation height. Later he put In the claim
that he should have been rejected for
this and the added reason that he was
still suffering from an injury received
| in the head when he was three years
old. He alleged that he was passed be-
cause Of personal animosity of DIR. j.
G. Towne, the examining physician.
He said the old injury made him I'M
fit for service Especially In the vic:n-
ity Of a cannon"
In dismissing the petition Judge
Morton ruled that If DR.. Towne, in VI
olation Of his duty as an officer ac-
copied an unfit man. II was a matter
for which he might be called TO ac-
count by his military superiors, but
that this was something of which q
recruit could not take advantage
voluntary enlistment" Judge Nor
ton added, rests on a contract be-
tween the recruit and the govern
ment. In making 1t the parties deal
at arms length; each looks out for his
own interest"
The court pointed out that the pur-
pose Of the examination is not to give
the applicant assurance that he is
physically fit for military service but
only to keep undesirable men out OF
the army.
Jack Cohen Of this city, now A n-er-
Der Of the drafted army at Camp Dew
ems, set forth that he enlisted in the
regular army In 1914 for a period Of
seven years. that two years later he
purcha sed his release and was hon
orably discharged. He contended rha f.
the government created an implied
agreement that he should not 20 call
ed for military service during the le-
mainder Of the term covered by his
enlistment
The court held that no eucn ground
of exemption was provi1 u under tha
draft act
1T was for Congress to decide" the
court added, whether persons who
had enlisted in the army anl purchas
ed their discharge should during the
period Of their enlistment, ne relieved
from draft. and il did not e fit to re-
lieve them

DETAILED ACCOUNT
Demanded of Encounter
in Which American
Destroyer Engaged

Washington, Oct. 1s.-The navy depart
ment cabled Admiral Sims today for a
detailed account OF the encounter Oct.
is between a subma rine and an American
destroyer in which the latter received
the first hit scored by the Germans
against an American war vessel.
The brief statement given out last night
contained all the information that has
reached the department with the excep-
ton Of the name of the vessel. withheld
for military reasons.
From the fact that the destroyer was
able 70 make port with only one killed
and FIVE slightly wounded officers here
believe that the torpedo probably struck
her far forward so that the narrow for
ward hulkhead held and kept out the sea.
The construction of these vessels is so
light that if one were hit amidships she
probably would break in two.

THE overcrowding Is made especiallv

overcrowding is not due 10 any particular
increase in illness or injuries, but appar-
emily to the fact that more people are
aware of the value Of hospital care and
were receiving it.
"Our cases are chiefly the daily run Of
hospital cases. and our condition empha-
sizes the need OF adequate facilities in
case there should be an epidemic
Suppose there was an epidemic Of
pneumonia. The patients would have To
occupy separate rooms. thus closing the

How the German steamer Sesostrts
was salvaged at Ocos, on the Pacific
side Of Guatemala, after she had lain
on the sands 600 feet from the sea foi
nine years, fs told in the June 80 issue
OF shipping Illustrated" The freight
or, owned by the Kosmos line, ran higr
and dry on the beach in 1907, while
she was trading between Hamburg
and the West coast.
On March 5, 1907, she was lying at
Ocos, when the chain parted. Tho
officer in charge Of the deck not
keeping a proper watch, no notice
was taken Of the fact that she was
being carried toward the beach by
the strong wind and current then
running. In fact, no enc was alive to
the situation until the ship was borne
high, and dry on che sandy beach.
In view Of her position. far away
from a center, where salvage apph-
ances could be secured. the vessel
was abandoned to the underwriters
She was one Of the sights Of the West
coast and her machinery being in
perfect order, 1t was used for the pur'
pose of lighting the town by electric
iy.
According to the report Of the sal
wage recently published in Railway
and Marine News" tSeattle), severai
unsuccessful attempts were made TO
move the vessel into deep water.
Finally, some one succeeded by mean:
of dredging through the vessel pumps
in removing considerable sand from
either side of the vessel until at last
enough water was found to partially
float the vessel in this small lagoon
Then the plan to get the vessel from
this lagoon to the open sea proved to
be so costly and doubtful as to results
that the whole scheme was abandon
ed and the Sesostris. exposed to the
sun of the tropics and the ceaseless
beating OF the seas at high tide, lay
