the remaining Belgian soldiers, who
have been fighting the German in

The following from a letter just
received from a Belgian boy at the
front, who was only II years of
age when the war opened, is typi-
cal of many we have received:
Il was delighted to learn that
your call for help has met with
such generous response in America
and the comforts we get from
Gifts for Belgian Soldiers" are
certainly a great relief and en-
couragement for the vast majority
of my comrades have no other help
or moral support"

To SENTENCE MAN
Justice Stafford Considers Provoca
tion in Case of Capitol Policeman.

Owing to the fact that there was
some provocation for his act, Justice
Stafford, in Criminal Court. No. 1,
declined to pronounce sentence
against James Marshall. 70 year old
Capitol policeman who was found
guilty of an assault with a knife
on Lafayette Creekman. a door
keeper in the House Of Representa-
tives.
Accordingly. the court placed Mar
shall on probation for a period OF
Two years, with instructions to him to
report monthly to Probation Officer
Steele. The court also took into con-
sideration the advanced age OF Mar
shall The affair took place last
August in one Of the corridors of the
House. Marshall contended that
Creekman struck at him while he
was peeling an apple and he warded
OF the blow with the hand that held
the knife. The report that the court
actually sentenced Marshall is
erroneous.
