Missoulas initial contribution to the

itary hospital at Fort George Wright
and will probably be sent back to his
home within a week. An infected toe
which has bothered Jones for several
years was the cause of his rejection
from the army.
the verified story that Jones had set
the Montana intercollegiate half mile
record while his foot was in the same
condition that 1t is today and claimed
that the injured member would handi-
cap his drilling. They put him to bed
for two days of observation, saying
that if at the end of that time the toe
was not in better shape he would be
sent back to Missoula. This injury has
cal attention for the last seven years
and Jones sees little hore of the mill

at the State University, was married
to Miss Gertrude Farley on the after
noon before his departure FOR the fort

his studies and work for the United

Justice Of Peace Wrongly
Criticized by Officers
Communication
MERELY MADE OFFER
At Request of Soldier Ma
gistrate Offered to Re-
lease Pickpocket.
Editor Missoulian:


May correct the impression recently
given and probably honestly shared by
Captain Harry E. Mitchell, u. S. A.
that I sentenced pickpocket, Joe
Martin, to 80 days in Jail or enlistmen,
in the army" This impression is given
in an article by Captain Mitchell in
The Muscular of tuesday, April H.
Apparently the author had read too
hastily the following news item, print
ed in The Missoulian of the preceding
Sunday.
Joe Martin. pickpocket, was allowed
to choose between a 90 day Jail SEN
tence and enlistment in the army after
he had been found guilty yesterday by
Justice of the Peace Phil Gagnon.
Martins pal. a person with a court
record, appeared before the justice and
asked that Martin be allowed to en-
list. The court insisted that the pal
enlist first. Martin was taken to Jail
and, as soon as his pal comes back in
Uncle Sans clothes, will have a chance
to serve his country"
Inc facts are, substantially, as the
article states them. After l had sem
fenced Martin to Jail. his partner, ac-
companed by soldier whom l sup
posed to be a recruiting officer, asked
me to let Martin enlist. knowing the
partner was a tough citizen I refused
to let Martin go with him. l said that
if the partner could enlist and induce
the army to accept Martin, sentence
would be suspended. First, however, l
warned the recruiting officer against
both men.
l did not force Merlin to choose be-
tween Jail and the army. merely Of
fered, at the soldiers request, to sus-
pend the 90-day Jail sentence in case
the army wanted Martin and that Of
fer still holds though with Captain
Mitchell's statement that the army
cannot accept men of bad character,
quite agree.

Sturges by Attorney General George E. Hinman. The question was asked with regard to a German who had taken out his first but not his second citizenship pa pers
 The attorney general finds that the laws of Connecticut give to noneiti. zens the same rights in regard to prop erty as pertain to native born citizens and that the property rights of an alien are unaffected by the existence of war by this country with the eoun- try of which he Is national In his finding he says that. generally speak. ing, an alien enemy is national of a country with which this country Is at war or the subject of country all lied with one at war with the United States.

 The finding points out that such dis ability may be extended by the state. but since no such extension now pre- vails an aliens property rights are in full force.

Governor HOlcomb's Thanksgiving
 Proclamation
No Room for Light Hearted Rejoicing

No Room for Light Hearted Rejoicing
 The following Thanksgiving procla- nation has been issued by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb:
 "At time when bitter suffering has become the common lot of much of the world and anxiety is gnawing al the hearts of many of us, there is no room for the light hearted rejoicing which has so often marked the coming of the Thanksgiving season. For our full lives for all our throbbiug commercial lie we have abundant reason for thank fulness; but we see in them now, not a goal attained, only the means to an infinitely nober and greater cod. They whose battle is our battle, look 10 us for armament and sustenance. Large ly we can give, for largely it has been gwen unto us. He, who has made the way straight for us, who has given us courage to raise the gage of battle, who has inspired us with faith in the ultimate victory, has wonderfully strengthened our arms for the conflict. For that we owe Him thanks. But 10 him, to our country, to the high cause which we have made our own, to the devotion of those who are offering their lives AS sacrifices upon the altar of that cause, we owe more than thanks. Ours is the duty to see that these resources which have been made ready for us shall be so husbanded, so shaped, so used that they may attain the greatest possible effect
 "On Thursday, November the twenty.ninth, which old custom III arks as day Of thanksgiving let us, rhen, reveFently and sincerely, re- turn thanks to God, for His gifts 10 u,. but let us also there in His pres s..ee, no less revently and sincerely, steel our hearts in the firm resolve that no word or deed of ours shall dull the weapons he has shaped to our hands.
