Mr. Freeze called on E. w. Ewbank

Word was received today from
Washington officials to the effect that
Christmas packages may be Sent to
the men in foreign service, but that
each soldier may receive only n

Arrangements will be in the hands

no specific announcement has been
made by the local organization re-
garding the details of sending the

that only one package can be deliv-
cred to each man, and that the size
of the package will be subject to reg
ulation.
Coupons will be issued soon by the
local Red Cross committee and full
details regarding the packing and
sending Of boxes will be given out.
The announcement that Christmas
boxes car be sent, comes with a feel
ing Of relief to the many families
and friends of soldiers, who feared
that Christmas might possibly have
to be spent in France without the
cheering box from home.
In order that boxes be delivered

M All Details Pronounced Untrue
AT the Office Of the local Home
Service section 1t was said today that
the story was too ridiculous to merit
anything but scorn directed against
its perpetrators. The view was x
pressed that the gossip had been cir
culated for some malicious reason, and
that somebody might have found this
q convenient way Of getting even"
It was added that in all cases where
punishment is melted out to soldiers
abroad, due notice thereof appears in
the Army and Navy Journal, which,
however, has had no reference to this
incident. It was also emphasized
that the approval Of the president is
necessary for the carrying out Of a
death sentence fact which pre-
cludes the possibility that execution
took place almost Immediately after
sentence was pronounced. Attention
was called to the we'll known fact
that even gross INSTRUMENTATION is not
sufficient cause for a death sentence.
And finally, a letter had recently been
received from the young soldier
himself. in which he said that he was
temporarily stationed at a Win
chester, England, camp just after ar
irving from the United States.
Legal officers of the county who
had heard the rumor, denounced it
as malicious gossip Inc intimated
that there may be found ways in
which to deal with the men who start
such stories which are harmful, in
sidious and as poisonous as the most
dangerous pro-German propaganda,
it was said.

DEATH UI u
IS DECLARED
OBEUNTRUE
Etp- tSE- .nHrtSMr E-aEtfF tfa .=- . M
story That County Men had
Been Executed, is
Denounced.

For some days a story has been
widely and persistently circulated in
the city to the effect that a well
known soldier from somewhere in
Grand Forks county had been found
guilty Of gross insubordination to his
superiors while serving in the Amer1-
can expeditionary army in France
and that a court-martial had SEN
fenced him to death. 1t was added
that the sentence was carried out
within a few hours.
Investigation, quietly going on for
a week or more, fails to reveal any
facts back of this story. 1t appears
time had been rather pronounced in
his views against conscription, and
that he had made more or less in
discreet remarks the effect of which
seemingly were enhanced by the fact
that he happens to be OF German
descent. He was sent to an Amer1-
a training camp some time this
spring and later was reported to have
arrived overseas.
Various Versions.
The first story reaching his rela-
tives and friends in a roundabout way
was that the soldier while aboard the
transport had committed some minor
offense for which he was thrown
overheard. This story was at once
characterized as too absurd to require
serious denial.
The second rumor-that which has
been kept most persistently alive
throughout the city and county-is
that in the American camp in France
where the soldier was stationed, he
repeatedly refused to carry out the
orders of his superior officers; on one
occasion when it was feared, the story
goes, that he would cause, his COM
rades to be equally disobedient. he
was placed back Of the firing lines for
some gardening work: even this he is
said to have refused to do, and the
circumstantial report adds that he
abused the commanding officers
swearing up and down and calling
him all kinds of dirty Names" as the
popular version of the has it.
The particular offence of which the
soldier is said to have been found
guilty, has not been indicated by the
otherwise very painstaking author OF
authors of the story, but it IS said
that action was started with dramatic
swiftness; there was a brief appear
ance before a court-martial, an ex'
animation, a sentence of death, ant
